PUTTING THE WHEELS IN MOTION!
The next day Johnathan went to the mall and found a beauty supply store and purchased a quality pair of scissors to trim with, a can of woman's shaving cream and a disposable woman's razor. Johnathan felt that if his head of hair needed a shampoo before cutting than so did the kitty. So he turned around and grabbed a bottle of herbal shampoo as well. At the checkout his total came to $45.95 with tax. Not a bad investment in his new business venture. But the quest was not over........a teddy bear is what he needed next. Further down the mall runway was a custom teddy bear shop. He needed a large fuzzy bear to hone his snipping skills on and there he was!!! $79.00 Holy Shit. The sales gal asked him if it was for his girlfriend. He stammered yeah, that's the ticket. He had now shelled out $128.95 for his new business venture.......LET THE GAMES BEGIN! When he got home he sat on the couch and proceeded to trim away the fuzz of Becky Bear. Johnathan found the process rather quick and easy....at least on an inanimate object. The shaving was the easy part since he had been doing that backwards in the mirror daily for years. Now the hard part......the business end of the project.
Johnathan ran several ideas through his mind, how much to charge? Legal aspects? Or just an underground business? Where the hell would I do this at? Surely not at the strip mall OMG!
Finally he felt that a starting point would be a fee of $50.00 to shave the kitty which would include a shampoo,trim and shave. But how would he market it?
Once again he relied on a Google search looking for an ad market. He discovered Craigslist.org which was a free online classified ad posting. A quick tour of craigs list showed him a section titled erotic services. This sounds pretty erotic if you ask me he muttered to himself so he posted the following ad, and he felt the price was right for his new venture FREE!
Trim Your Kitty
Attractive Male 28 Years Old offers the services of a shampoo,trim and shave of your kitty to desired length and shape. $50.00. Will travel to local area.
He opened his Craigslist account and posted his ad with no great expectations.
With Friday getting close he had to find something proper to wear. A search of his closet yielded a shirt and tie but no jacket or pants that matched. Go figure. Another trip to the clothing store at the mall was in order, but that would be tomorrow. Dinner was now. He popped a frozen pizza into the oven and plopped in front of the TV and waited for his pizza to cook....what to watch...what to watch? After the pizza and 30 minutes of comedy central Johnathan decided to play a game on the computer. Before the game he checked his e-mail and found that there were two responses to his ad! He was freaked out! Almost afraid to open them....... What the fuck had I gotten myself into? After several deep breaths he opened the first one and it read as follows:
Dear Jo Jo (the name he used in the ad)
It has been a while since my kitty has been attended to and needs a shave. Please let me know when you can schedule me in for an appointment. I am a divorced woman of five years 41 years young average build. I look forward to your reply. Signed Rachel
Johnathan could hardly swallow, let alone breathe. WOW, my first .....customer???? WTF!
After collecting his thoughts and wits he replied to Rachel:
Rachel, thank you for inquiring about my services. I have an opening this Saturday morning at 10:00 AM. Fees are collected up front and your satisfaction is guaranteed. If this meets your approval please respond with your address and your booking will be complete.
A punch of the send button and his new career was in motion.
