]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2013 07:05:03 UTC 15534367 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15534182?utm_medium=rss I am joining my wife (April) this early morning to support the Surfers Paradise Meter Maids. I agree with what she posted, but would add that to us, they are what is distinctive about the Gold Coast. We saw dozens of other tourists during the time we spent in Surfers Paradise in February, 2013, enjoying the meter maids, having their pictures taken with them, and buying calendars. They were fun and they really made our stay there just so much better. I urge the people who run the Gold Coast to put aside petty differences, realize what you have in the meter maids, and work for a solution that allows all to compromise and be happy. Tourists like us will be glad and in the end, it will help encourage people to visit, spend money and then go home to spread the word. We have been really talking up Surfers Paradise and the main reason is the fun we had being around the meter maids. We spent a lot of money there and could have gone to other places on the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast (such as Noosa), but were happy we chose Surfers Paradise. The mean thing that helped us make that choice was the fact of the meter maids. Please help them succeed. The tourists love them.

]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2013 05:45:42 UTC 15534182 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15534148?utm_medium=rss During our visit to Surfers Paradise in February, 2013, I learned about the Surfers Paradise Meter Maids. As we planned our trip, we learned more about the meter maids. While walking around Surfers Paradise, my husband (Jack Douglas) and I saw the meter maids a few times and saw the billboard by the beach re the meter maids and their 1965 origin. Walking along one morning, we saw them across the street on a cold, rainy day and even with their raincoats they wore their bikinis and their high heels. We walked along to catch up to them and approached them. They did not approach us. I found that they were very personable, polite, and informative about the history of the meter maids. I never saw them approach visitors; visitors approached them for pictures, calendars and conversation. They made us feel happy to be there. As an amateur photographer, we discussed posing techniques and they were receptive. This drew a very friendly crowd. It was obvious that the other tourists also loved them, so we got our pictures and two calendars and thanked them. They are good ambassadors for the Gold Coast and we support them fully. The meter maids are what the Gold Coast meant to me. Thanks.
