Sal, I only bought one drink.  The bouncer didn't say I had to buy 1 drink per hour.  He just said 1 drink, period.  Anyway, I was only there about an hour and customers were leaving right and left so it would have been silly to pressure me about a drink.  But I don't know.  Maybe the drink policy has been amended.  Regardless, I don't forsee coming back here.

My 1st and probably last time @ this club.  It's a small club at the edge of a business complex.  I was at the Sahara in COI years ago before it became DVCOI.  This layout is basically the same as that one except their basic lap area is a long bench parallel to the stage on a raised level.  The Giant bouncer at the door gave me the standard rundown on dance prices, club policies etc.  Inside I bought the requisite $8 coke and sat to check out the dancers.  They were mostly Latina with one black girl who was not bad looking, a couple of white girls, and a Philipina (?).  One older woman (many miles on her face, a square body) asked me a number of times for a dance but I kept turning her down as did many others.  When I arrived the "Midnight Snack" (2 girl show onstage) was taking place.  Many guys like this but it doesn't particularly do much for me.  A thick Latina wearing a black one piece over a fishnet approached me.  She had an attractive face and average body so I turned her down.  Later onstage, I saw that she had great tits but it wasn't enough to make me want to get a dance.  Most of the girls were very average to me and didn't excite me.  All of them, at one time or another, chatted me up but the only one I took for a spin was Daisy.  She was a curvy Latina with a round, soft ass, C-cups which may or may not have been real.  I got a 3-for-30 plus one dance on the bench.  The dance was okay but nothing to make me want to repeat or take it further.  The drink hustle was as aggressive as TL but I just kept waving the waitresses away and it was cool.  This is a function of management so I don't get upset.  I had been wondering about this place for years.  Now I know.  I can scratch it off my list.  Not a bad dive but not really thrilling to me.

So True!  LOL!  A refuge for getting the extra-ordinary grind.

This thread is kind of amusing.  Sax is right, some take this way too seriously.  I always thought of SC's as an adult Disneyland.  If you keep things light and happy you will very rarely get the blues or have issues.  Now a few dancers have had issues with each other and sometimes with some crazy guys that mistake this environment for "real life."  If I start to feel anxious that means the experience is no longer fun so I leave. I don't go into SC's looking for friendship or a relationship.  It's just for fun.  Sure, if you come to a place often you can be recognized and have a cordial liasion with folks but for the most part this world is a refuge from the everyday grind.  It should be drama-free.  Yes, there are exceptions to every situation, but on the whole, you can control your level of happiness.  And isn't that the point anyway?

I went to MONARCHS on 5/3.  I parked in back and it was so crowded I was lucky to find a space.  The middle section between the building is now enclosed so I had to walk all the way around to enter.  The entrance fee was waived and the cashier gave me a quick idea of what was happening inside.  You can tell it's a Rhino owned club but it seems more intimate than most Rhino's.  There were about 12 dancers.  A couple of curvy white girls with nice butts, a short, brown, compact Asian woman with thick, shapely legs, a couple of taller blonde girls, and a statuesque black (or mixed) woman were the ones I remembered.  The statuesque black girl was the only one that really caught my eye.  She was the sexiest to me but it seemed that every other girl approached me even when she was headed my way.  And other times, when I was going to approach her, she was occuppied.  I left after about an hour.  I was just checking things out.  I bought one drink, checked out the stage show for a bit, and then left.  I was impressed with the decor.  It's clean and slick.  The girls were okay.  None of them were unattractive but I have a very particular taste (thick, round ass, flat stomach, cute face, happy disposition).  I will return in a few weeks to see the progress.

I know Butterfly.  Had some good experiences with her.  Last time I saw her, she'd lost a bit of weight but was still thick and had that azzz.  

Just wondering, did the club actually open on the 4th or 6th?  How many dancers were there?  What is the pricing structure?  Went to their website and the information is sorely lacking.  Just wondering if anyone went and what intel they gathered.

This was the second club I hit on Sat. nite.  I rolled in @ 11:00 and there were about four other people in the club.  Gradually the place filled and the stage show began.  The only dancers that night were COFFEE CREAM, slender,  nice tight ass, CODA, slim but elastic, tats, pink plastic ribbon in her hair, MICHELLE, dark skin, big booty, thick, MOET, brown, glasses, thick, INDIA, slim, cute, CARRIBEAN, huge all over, dark skin. Michelle, Coda, Coffee Cream were very appealing to me.  India is good looking. The big problem was there was a lot of dead time on stage due to the lack of dancers.  I wasn't aggressive enough to get the dances I wanted, and those offered to me were not from dancers I wanted dances from.  A guy asked me was this usual for this club to have a limited selection of dancers and I told him not usually.  I haven't been here in a couple of months.  Was this just an off-night or is something going on?  I'll come back another time to confirm either way.  I must say Coffee Cream, Michelle, Coda, and India really put on great stage shows. I'm really not into the spinner types but Coda, with that bubble butt, and boundless energy, made my tongue wag but, alas, she was constantly occuppied.  I can't fault anyone for that.  I just need to be faster on the uptake.

Recently I like Toya, Kai, that shady girl, Freaky, and this thick Latina who I think is called Mia?  Not sure but she's very cool.

Since it's the beginning of the month I thought all the sexy big booty girls would be in the house.  Got there around 11:00 to find out I was wrong.  The girls I consider sexy were no where to be seen.  Maybe this club just doesn't do it for me anymore.  To be fair, the place was packed.  A lot of dancers and a lot of guys.  There were very few girls who were really unattractive but the majority, to me, had very little charisma.  A lot of girls just going through the motions with very little enthusiasm.  One bald headed gang-banger type kept stalking around like a jungle cat and dancing like a wanna be rapper.  Different shapely women who came in groups or with boyfriends were more interesting than the dancers.  One tall chick in cutt-off shorts strutted through with a nice round ass and long hair...and then she proceeded to stumble over three or four chairs before breaking her fall in a seat at the tip rail.  It was funny and entertaining.  Too bad she wasn't a dancer.  I actually fell asleep and was awakened by a skinny girl asking for a dance.  I declined. I got a lot of dancer invitations but turned them all down because I was not feeling them.  Better luck next time if there is a next time.

I talked with Amaya once and she gave me the impression that she was a bit conservative by KH standards.  She said she didn't particularly like working nude clubs.  She didn't like baring it all onstage.  She's very nice but doesn't seem to be a "high action" girl.  I don't think she's an air-dancer but I think she has definite limits.  However, YMMV.  She might be tame with me and really rock another guy's socks.  Physically, to me, she has a similar body type to Latte but that's where it ends.  Never danced with Latte but she strikes me as very adventurous.

Where did you see Love's pics?

Ended up @ this club late Sat./early Sunday about 1:30 am.  Hadn't been here in a long time.  Club looked to be crowded with a bunch of guys standing around crowding the bar area but I found a seat and there were many available.  Within about 2 minutes of sitting down I was bombarded with different dancers.  None of them interested me so I politely declined.  Brooklyn Carter approached me.  I think she's got personality but I've never been into her.  If we were at a bar I would probably talk to her over a drink but she hasn't really "pushed my button" yet.  Then I caught sight of a bronze skin black woman wearing an off-th shoulder see-through top and white thong bottoms.  Her hair was curly and she was thick and walked with confidence.  I recognized her as FREAKY but I was not sure because her look was so different from last time.  She took a big guy into the back for awhile.  She was announced for the stage some time later and went up and hid her famous light bulb routine where she stick a light bulb inside her and it lights up.  A cheap magic shop trick but effective in this context.  Everyone went wild.  Next she put ice cubes inside herself and did pole tricks and shot some of the cubes out.  Money rained onto the stage.  She's given me good laps in the past although she comes off a bit shady.  She actually gave me her real name (I think it was but she could be lying about that)when our conversation turned toward the film industry and I told her I was a writer and some of the work I had done and she talked about the stuff she had done (mostly low-budget horror & crime stuff--but, hey, it's work).  She gave me her number but I never called.  Separation of church & state in my book.  I'll talk to and listen to any of the dancers who I find interesting but usually it stays in the club.  It's just fun & games and nothing more.  I saw Kai but wasn't able to get with her.  I decided to wait so I could get with FREAKY when Toya, a curvy black girl with a round, perfect bubble butt, introduced herself.  I had been eyeing her earlier.  She was very unpretentious and nice so I did a couple of topless with her.  We had some unexpected chemistry because she ended up KSMO!  This is a very rare occurrence for me but she actually got me going.  She was very skilled like a throw-back to the old TL/HT dancers before VIP rooms.  But she was also low-key outside of the lap booth.  Sure, she's sexy but you wouldn't know how skilled she is from her just strutting the floor.  Again, it might have just been our wierd "chemical" connection.  I've been around so, like a serious drug addict, it takes a lot to get me high.  She made me forget all about Freaky and Kai----this time.  But I'll return for them.

Rolled into KHVIII Saturday night @ about 11:00.  I was a man on a mission.  I had unfinished business with PEACHES.  I saw her a couple of months ago and was not able to get to her.  She has short dark hair, a flat stomach, hips, round butt, killer legs and a fresh but naughty face.  This chick is walking sex!  Anyway, I got my drink, sat down and scoped things out.  A dark skin, attractive woman with medium thickness sat next to me.  (Forgot her name)  She said it was her birthday and said I should get a dance with her.  I told her maybe later but I was just chillin.'  LATTE, BEAUTY, SPARKLE, and a few others were in the house but none of that mattered to me.  I saw PEACHES wearing black bottoms, a black lace top, and black pumps great regulars with hugs.  Then she sat at the bar and gave two guys the most sensual lap dances I ever seen in a long time.  They both stuffed dollars in her bottoms.  These were unofficial dances but they were hot.  She disappered into the back for awhile and returned.  I caught her eye and she came and straddled me and said, "I'm invading your space."  I said, "Take me hostage."  She introduced herself and we went to the lap booth.  She gave me 3 incredibly sexy dances.  Not sure if more is available but this woman is very good at what she does.  Her face is even prettier up close than it appears to be at a distance.  After we finnished the dances and I was paying the cashier, he joked, "Now you count dances while I get some with her."  Peaches makes everyone sweat.  After her, I was done so I left.  I will repeat.  Haven't had a dance this good in a loooong time.

I usually observe the way the dancer moves on the floor and interacts with others and then have a brief conversation with her.  If she indicates that she's touchy-feely, fun, and there's some chemistry, I move forward.  This has never failed me.  I also let her take the lead and guide me.  This results in a much more relaxed and fun experience.  I was in a club recently and just sat calmly when this dancer approached and draped herself over me.  I talked with her but didn't try to grope her.  She told me directly that "This is a strip club.  The object is to touch, so touch!"  She wasn't slutty about it (which I don't mind) but mater-of-fact about it and moved my hands to certain hot spots on her body.  It was kind of surreal but made sense in that environment.  She took me to the back and gave me some incredibly hot dances that threatened to kick the stamp off the envelope!  I would never go to a "no-touch" club like the ones in San Diego.

I had a sort of run-in with AMAZING.  When I first came to KH, she gave me a very pedestrian dance and I was not impressed so I never sought another one.  Sometime later, I was in the club and Olivia approached me for a dance and I said, "Later."  Later came and I was going to leave after dancing with Olivia.  She was onstage and I was sitting at a table when AMAZING plopped down next to me and started playfully bantering about getting a dance.  I flirted back but wasn't going to get a dance.  Olivia came off stage and I told her I wanted my dance now.  AMAZING blew up!  She said I humiliated her.  I could have told her I was waiting for Olivia.  Maybe I could have but I didn't ask her to sit with me.  She said something like, "I look better than her.  You're going to dance with her?" I said nothing and allowed her to rant.  Then I explained the situation to Olivia and reminded her that I said I would dance with her later but never indicated to AMAZING I wanted a dance.  I danced with Olivia and then went home.  AMAZING has lots of fans but I guess her ego couldn't take it that I wasn't interested.  As far as I'm concerned, her dances are weak.  Maybe they thrill other guys but I'm not impressed and I think her ego is out of control.

I respect everyone's POV.  We are all shaped by the sum total of our experiences.  I frequently tip for a dance if I really enjoyed it.  If I'm at the tip rail, then of course, I follow protocol.  I don't tip for conversation and I make it clear to a dancer who sits with me if I intend to buy a dance or not so she can decide to move on or not.  I always try to be polite and respectful even if the dancer isn't.  The goal is to have fun.  If a dancer gets frustrated, that is not my problem and I try not to let that ruin my mood.  There are always going to be folks who are cool and then there will those who are not.

Usually I can catch the dancer's eye I'm interested in.  If not, I simply go up to her, when she's close by, and ask.  Never been turned down.  Sometimes a club can be so busy that she may not notice you.  I've also had to the reverse happen----while scanning the room my eyes met a dancer and she came over to me but I wasn't trying to get a dance from her so I politely turned her down.  This has happened more than once.  A Dancer recently told me that the club is a man's world and he has the choice.  This was a dancer with a bangin' body who seemed to always be occuppied by someone else so I never had the chance to approach her.  She came up to me and said, "I see you here all the time and you never say hi to me or anything."  I laughed and then explained about her always being busy and she admitted that many girls misread situations and apologized.  Even though this is a unique enviroment, people are still people.  As long as you stay cool and calm and fun-loving, things will usually work themselves out.

Went to Ron's 12/8 and got in a little before 10:00 pm.  There were about 10-12 dancers around with more coming in.  I wasn't thrilled with the line-up yet so took a chair next to the lap room against a wall that looks directly at the stage.  After awhile, AUBREY, a light brown, kind of slim girl with wild blondish-brown curly hair, approached me for a dance.  She introduced herself and started to give me a sample lap dance @ my chair.  She has very nice round C-cups and was surprisingly skilled @ turning up the heat.  We went to the lap room and she gave me a couple of hot dances.  Surprising because I was curious about her in a casual way but had no idea she could heat me up so quickly with her moves and eye contact.  It was strangley hypnotic and she knew it.  Next up, NAUTICA (not the Asian one but the ebony one who did a few pornos awhile back and used to work @ STARZ) sauntered over.  This woman is thiiiiick without being fat, brown skin, breast implants, and a natural booty with a life of it's own.  She said she wasn't going onstage because it was too slow. (It was in terms of tipping with the DJ constantly urging fellas to tip because not enough was happening)  NAUTICA has lots of regulars and seems to be given a lot of leeway from management about her schedule.  She's in her 30's, very business-like, yet friendly and sweet.  We went to the lap room and she rocked me!  But at the end of our session she half-jokingly complained to me, "You didn't cum."  I told her, I like to stay in control and that tension is something that I enjoy....unless I'm in a different mood and in a more liberal environment. Ron's is not known for UHM at least not @ night.  I'm sure there may be exceptions but I'm not aware of them....well there was that one time with...never mind....it's not a usual thang, I believe.  Again, NAUTICA, with her chocker that read FUCK ME, her full lips, and muscle control is very hard to resist.  You can easily lose your mind.  Finally, I was approached by MERCEDES, a sexy woman with an average body, very pretty face, and wide hips.  In the middle of her pitch she was called away.  She returned minutes later but I told her maybe later.  I caught her stage act and she came back and we went to the lap room and she has a surprisingly soft ass and knows how to use it.  She had me standing at attention the whole time.  Once again, very hypnotic, sensual, and lots of eye contact.  I actually came in looking for BUTTERFLY but she was not in and instead got dances with 3 mesmerizing women who really know their business.  A couple of skinny girls, one multiple times, approached me but I politely turned them down.  Not typically my cup of tea.  The woman can be petitie but she's got to have ass and know how to use it!

Mike, What are dances with Latte like?  She looks interesting but I haven't really talked to her yet.

Last night was my first time in this place in months. This past year I've been trying the Gardena clubs. After hitting Ron's and King Henry's, I ended up at STARZ.  It was 11:15 when I walked in and the ground level was crowded.  The bar was filled and most of the tables were taken watching the stage.  Skipped getting a drink and went upstairs to the nude room.  SWEET T, a coffee with milk complexion dancer with a semi-thick body with curves, was onstage.  Very sexy.  You could feel the heat coming off her.  Cute face and a playful/naughty smile that let you know she was about having fun.  The nude stage was about half-full.  After she left the stage, she went through the door leading downstairs.  I was approached by a very thick dark skin woman named SUGAR.  I told her maybe later.  Next I ran into LISA, a brown skin woman with great curves, womanly body, and an almost southern-girl demeanor.  We hugged and talked for a moment.  Told her I might get with her later.  I have heard a lot of new dancers were here and I wanted to see what was up.  True, I did see some different faces (don't remember the names) but mostly I saw girls I'd seen months earlier.  The only difference was that the club seemed to be much busier.  I caught a glimpse of BUTTERFLY, an athletic girl with a slender frame, round booty, small but perky top.  I've always thought she had one of the best body's in the house.  I caught her near the bar and after she got a drink she took me up to the lap room.  She's just as I remember her---sexy, sensual and soft and playful.  She's learned some new tricks to my delight.  After a few dances, we laughed and joked for a minute.  The upstairs guy told her a group wanted her to dance for them.  She looked puzzled.  A group of men and women created a kind of semi-circle in the corner of the nude room next to the lap area.  At least 12 folks were in this group.  BUTTERFLY left the room and then one of the downstairs workers came up and ushered the group downstairs.  Didn't see where they went.  Maybe the CHAMPAGNE ROOM?  I've seen the sign downstairs but never asked about it.  No dancer has ever mentioned it to me.  Hmmmmm?

Rolled in last night at about 10:00 pm. The dancers I saw were LATTE (in long dark hair now--looks like a wig), AMIYA, EXOTIC, BEAUTY, a thin light brown woman, and PEACHES.  There were about 15-20 patrrons scattered about.  No body was playing pool.  PEACHES is a thick, curvy light skin woman wearing a sexy nurse's outfit with red pumps.  She was incredibly sexy.  2 guys sitting next to me went crazy when she hit the stage hootin' , hollerin', and throwing money.  A lot of us threw money.  Something about her made her stand out from all the other dancers.  When she came off stage she sat with the 2 guys then one took her into the lap booth for awhile.  I watched the rest of the line-up and I thought they were pretty good but I wanted a taste of Peaches but she was busy and I wanted to hit some other clubs so I left with her on my to-do list.  I'd never seen her before.  Has anyone had experiences with her?

Passion was the name of the girl with the bangin' body.  Does she only work days?

Latte and Amiya look like they could be sisters.  Both have the same body type.  They are slim but curvy with bubble butts.  They have the same body type as the missing-in-action LOVELY. (I heard she was let go.  Is that true?)  Not sure who BOOTY is.  I did see this one girl with very close-cropped hair who wore glasses and had a bangin' body by anyone standards.  She offered a dance but I told her maybe later because I was chillin.'  Her voice stood out to me because she's sweet and sounded like an intellectual.  I should have danced with her.  She comes across as very balanced and drama-free.

I was also here on Veteran's Day and rolled in about 4:45.  Royal came by to ask for a dance but I wasn't really impressed by her.  Different strokes....ya know.  I was sitting on the bench in front of the lap booth. A guy next to me spent time talking to this thick brown skin girl with a kind of hourglass.  She was sexy but was content to to just talk to this guy and eat a big plate of food.  A thin Latina was also in the mix.  She seemed to have a good personality but her body didn't really stand out.  ERIN, a slim brown skin girl with blondish highlights, a pretty face, and some curves, roamed around but was always snatched up by some of the older customers.  AMAYA and LATTE, two lean girls built like curvy gymnasts were also around.  AMAYA seems to be a little more conservative.  She told me she danced once @STARZ but was uncomfortable dancing in the nude stage upstairs.  The topless clubs are more to her liking.  She's nice but I get the feeling she has serious limits on what she will and won't do and that's fine---it's her choice.  Latte, on the other hand is more playful and sardonic and you get the feeling that she's very open to adventure.  I haven't danced with her yet.  I stayed for about two hours and SPARKLE came in and gave me a very serious dance.  Sparkle is dark skin, small top, big booty and very agressive (in a good way) about convincing you to have fun with her.  

I hear what you're sayin' Lou, but I do believe she was working in interior design. I saw some of the "legitimate" work she did (of course it could have been faked but why go to the trouble?) and I remember that's what she went to school for and got an "in" with a group in Las Vegas. But hey, maybe you're right. It just seems crazy someone would go to all the trouble to create an elaborate fiction when most of us could care less. I never saw her dance in Vegas and I saw quite a few dancers, particularly from SRI, dancing in Vegas clubs and doing the commute thing. I do remember Frosty, the last time I saw her @SRI, going into a massive choking fit (cigarettes) and then, after calming down, taking stock of things and shaking her head. It was a "What the hell am I doing" kind of moment. Very poignant. I'll never forget the look on her face. She knew that she'd overstayed her welcome in the biz. She wasn't even giving me a dance. We were just talking. She gave me a hug and then walked into the back, a very tired person.

Frosty said she never wanted to dance in Vegas because it was where she had her "regular" job and she didn't want the night and daytime hustles to cross. She eventually did break down and dance @Crazy Horse III which is in that entertainment complex. Don't know if she's still there.

Didn't see Russia or DIVA. But an older chick named Sassy or something like that was very aggressive and all over with me. She came at me twice but I was not into her. She had huge nipples peeking through a mesh body suit but her energy did not rev up my engine so I passed both times on her. Sal, Elizabeth is a blond, thick white girl with big guns that kept popping out of her top. She had a pretty face and a playful game. Wasn't sure if her butt was round or just wide because that sequined mini covered it without straining the material. Didn't see her go on stage either. She has a buddy with a similar look but less in shape and a nervous laugh. Saw them double team a guy but in the end the guy did not take them up on their offer so they moved on.

The last time I was in this club the music was ear-splitting and it resembled a biker bar.  That was obviously a loooooooong time ago.  Rolled in about 10:30. Every girl in the place must have descended on me in a bout 5 minutes.  The place wasn't crowded yet.  There were about 15 dancers.  Some thick Latinas and white girls.  Kimberly was the most appealing so I took her for some laps in the booth.  She quickly gives me her menu.  I decided just to do the basic dances for now.  She was good and very cool.  VERONICA, a big girl (too big for my tastes) with a pretty face approached me but I turned her down.  A very thin white girl had her hands all over me but the "spinner" types with no meat on the bones aren't my type.  She wasn't exactly a spinner but still her body didn't do it for me.  SEVEN, a very tatted up girl, came my way a few times but I politely refused.  I saw Michelle and accidently turned her down because I had just completed laps with Kimberly and was trying to chill.  She never came back to me but I watched her work a couple of guys into the VIP.  I like that big shapely ass and next time I will check her out.  Elizabeth, a blond girl in a sequined mini also chatted me up.  Something struck me a little off about her.  Has anyone lapped with her?  Maybe she's okay and I was just picking up some incorrect vibes.  Most of the rest of the girls were thick but most of them did not have the propper roundness for my tastes.  They weren't exactly flat but just not bubble enough for me.  Kakes, a slimmer white girl who I think used to work @SJP came around and hit me up numerous times but I wasn't having it.  The drink push was heavy but I just waved the waitresses on.  One was Asian and friendly and the other had a nice ass and was Latina.  Wondered what she'd look like in a thong.  The music was at a decent level. Some of the music and the vibe reminded me a little of the old HT.  I miss that club.  I may return here later on.

I know who Cubana Lust is now. I've seen a couple of home-made type videos of her dancing on-line. Didn't know she used to dance @ STARZ. Ya-Ya is compact and well put together. Never danced with her. She's similar to Paradise who is slightly thicker and also has a pretty face. I think Paradise is probably one of the prettiest dancers. Mike, who do u like @ King Henry's?

Is Cubana Lust a real big chick? If she is than she's at Ron's. Is Ya-Ya a petite, but proportioned dark skin cutie? If so I've seen her on stage and she's very acrobatic.

Mike, different Butterfly. Her tats are on her thighs and upper chest. Sal, I knew that about Sin City so I never ventured there. Recently I've been frequenting Ron's, King Henry's, and to a lesser degree, STARZ. Haven't been to STARZ since August as it started losing it's appeal for me. Soon I'll be checking out some other spots. I haven't been to PARADISE in years because my memories of the place was that the volume of music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think! Has that changed?

lopaw, I've seen a lot of women come into the club. Some of them come with guys and some seem to be friends of the dancers. I've only noticed a couple getting dances but I think this environment is a comfortable one.

Lap dances are $10. Even though the club is primarily black, there's always some Latin guys in here and not just one or two. I've never seen dancers at this club discriminate. It's a pretty chilled place. Just like everywhere else the DJ hollers about tipping. They do the two girls on stage after midnight. It's a real small spot but there are pool tables and two large tv screens but the club is nude. Don't know Butterfly's schedule but she's been there on Friday and Saturday when I've been there. Personal chemistry is always the thing but if you are cool and witty, no problem. One girl named Melody, who has a big gigantic ass, is a pretty good lap dancer but she always tries to get you to buy more dances..even if you have done several. That's the only girl I've ever had a minor annoyance with in here. We've met a couple of times--once @SJP @ once @ a z-con @ DVNH. You won't have a problem.

Lou, Got back to Ron's Barbary Coast last night. Got a dance with Butterfly. It was dangerously close to TL territory and that's very unusual for this club. I got a dance again with Paradise, a fine, slim girl with a round butt and a very pretty face. The club got real crowded around 12:30. Butterfly walked past me with a guy toward the lap room. Our eyes met and she stopped and gave me a playful tug (aka shook hands with Richard Dixon) and disappeared behind the curtain. Later her customer left and she beckoned me to join her. It was a wild ride! She's very theatrical with the moans and stuff but also knows how to use her hands and other equipment. I was encouraged to do what I wanted. All I can say is..DAAAAYUMMM! Didn't know what I was expecting but it wasn't that. She and I only talked once before but we've made eye contact and smiled at each other. Some women just know how to push your buttons.

I went to DV on Main at one of its opening nights a few months ago. They recruited that big booty dancer of the year that used to dance @ DVCIO as a hostess. They are desperately trying to emulate an upscale Vegas Club on par with the Vegas Rhino. They used to have two slim women in tight dresses as greeters when you first enter. The inside looks great but the two additional times I've come here there have been very few people. I don't think they are attracting the clientele they thought they would. It seems like an awful lot of DV's that have opened up in the last year. I think they hedged their bets and it's not paying off like they thought it would.

Lou, the big booty dancer's name is Butterfly.

I realize the dancers say things in most cases to break the ice so I kind of go with it. If she's particularly interesting or clever, I continue it. If not and if I don't feel like chatting, I politely let her know it was nice to meet her. Most ladies take that as a cue to move on. No harm. No foul.

It's all about the attitude you bring with you into the club. I've always thought of it as an adult Disneyland and nothing more. I've fooled around with a couple of dancers outside the club but no money changed hands. They were curious about me because when I first started going I was actually doing research for a detective novel I was writing which I completed by the way, optioned as a movie but when the option ran out (I kept the money) I published it as an e-book. Some of the girls thought I was BSing them but then a few of them I sent chapter for them to peruse for authenticity. This intrigued a couple of them and we ended up in a casual thang. Both of them have since left the business and one even went to grad school at NYU for journalism. But we all knew our liaisons were just fun and games.

I never had a run in with Mariah but I remember her. I did turn her down but she didn't try to clown me. Maybe because she saw me laughing and joking with a variety of other girls, she figured she just wasn't my type. I guess every club has that annoying crazy chick. But some clubs have management that will work fast to curb that nonsense because it can hamper their profits.

I know who you're talking about! That chick was not a turn-on to me either. Both of us being booty men would not go for her on general principal. Add to that her stank attitude and it's a wrap!! She even tried that, "So you don't like black girls" line on me because she figured because I'm a black guy it's automatic I would dig her. I told her, "I bite every flavor of the rainbow but if the flava is foul, I don't bite." She got pissed and flounced her bony ass away. Moments later, Satisfaction, a thick sista, approached me and we did several dances. She used to be very sexy to me. Last time I saw her she had gained some weight.

Lou, the aggressive, annoying stripper I was talking about was at SJP about 5 years ago. She was having a bad night and I saw her give attitude to other guys. All of us were turned off and we turned her away. I remember she said to me after I turned her down for the 3rd or 4th time, "Well what are you here for?" I didn't respond. I just shook my head. There are faaaat girls who get a lot of dances. What I notice about them is that they don't take themselves too seriously but exude confidence and good humor. Girls need to keep in mind that "sexy" is not just how they look but attitude also.

Over the years I'd had several hard sells. Usually that turns me off. I remember a faaaaat girl, not phat or thick, but faaaaat and aggressively annoying kept grabbing me but I would not rise to the occassion because her attitude was such a turn-off. I find that the annoying hard sell tends to highlight all the girl's drawbacks rather than her assets. There's a difference between a gentle tug and a teasing, flirty request and an attack. The ladies must learn the difference to be effective with many of us. I guess if the women is sexy to you in the first place, you may not mind but I've found most of the hard-sell chicks were the ones without confidence.

Dancer Doxastic--"Alas poor Yorrick..." Ophelia, I love it! Performing monolouges---that would be hysterical--especially if you walked around with a fake skull!! Lou---I remember some of those dancers. Frosty was a legend who returned to SRI briefly on weekend jaunts when her "regular" job wasn't happening. I never thought about her name. I guess it was a little different.

I threw my buddy a bachelor party at the Bare years ago when the dances were $30 and that was outrageous. So this is now a High Rollers spot?

Whatever happened to PINKS? Any movement?

Sal, maybe I need to pay a visit in the near future. The 2 nights I went it was really crowded in the lap area and people were constantly bumping folks on their way to their laps. I'm glad the beggin' every customer thing is history. Never met Lovedoll.

Lou, I was actually about to enter Imperial Showgirls as Hunter was driving in her car. She stopped me and said they had just let her go which was actually a violation of her contract but she wasn't going to fight it because they would only continue to make things rough for her. The new management was using any excuse to clean house even though she was very popular. She did land at Cali Girls SA and I saw her there but I didn't really like the set up there. After the girl finishes her stage set she goes around to every guy in the house for tips whether you are at the rail or not. The lap area is kind of cramped. I never went back. Don't know if she's still there or not. This was about a year and some months ago.

Haven't been back to this club since they fired Hunter. Only Monica and Jordan were the sexy girls left in my opinion. The music became annoying and headache inducing. Has it changed?

Carmen is proof that one size does not fit all! I usually wear light-weight silk pants. Most dancers seem to appreciate it. They absolutely hate jeans!
