Losing Favorites

On the prowl in Tucson and Phoenix

I like having favorites at my regular clubs, which are primarily the HiLiter and Bourbon Street in Phoenix. The thrill of the hunt for new talent is still there, but I enjoy going in and spending time with my regular favorites and getting to know them over time. I think familiarity also builds trust which makes LDs seem more relaxed and intimate. I've learned in the past not to get too emotionally attached to dancers, but it's still tough when you lose a favorite and realize you will probably never see them again. I've learned to take the loss of a favorite from time to time in stride, but my experience over the last month has been worse than normal.
In June and July, I've lost four favorites for various reasons, two from Bourbon and two from the HL.
Favorite 1 got married and moved to Florida with her new hubby. She was one of the dayshift anchors at Bourbon St, and I've been getting dances from her for about 5 years. Fortunately I knew she was leaving and was able to go in and get some final dances on her last day. I'm really happy for her and it was a nice farewell, but I will definitely miss her.
Favorite 2, also of Bourbon St says she's burnt out and decided to quit. She runs another business and says she needs to give it her full attention. I suppose there's chance she will be back on the pole sometime in the future, but it might never happen. Have known her for probably 4 years, and have a lot of great memories with her.
Favorite 3 from the HiLiter is quitting in the next couple of weeks because she's pregnant. I first met her at another Phoenix club, and linked up with her again when she moved to HL, and have been getting dances from her regularly for about 4 years. Favorites 1,2,3 are actually all friends, and #3 is the one who told me about #1 leaving, so I was thankful for that. She seems happy about the kid, so I'm happy for her, but another favorite goes off the rotation. I could see her coming back in the future, but maybe not.
Favorite 4 - My ATF of the past 13 years is moving to LA, and I hate losing her the most. She moved away for a year a few years ago, and it did a number on me then. When she came back, I was thrilled to see her again but also told myself to keep a little more distance. Didn't work. I'm still crazy for her and going to the HL now just won't be the same without seeing her there (again). 13 years is like 113 years in stripper-years, and you get to know someone pretty well in that much time. I could see her coming back, and I could see going to visit her in LA, but somehow things feel a little more final this time.
So, it's been a tough month for an old strip club junkie that loves his favorites. The cupboard isn't completely bare as I still have several other faves, and a couple more in training, but I will really miss the four ladies described above. I know some of you have favorites like me, and others would prefer to never get a dance from the same girl twice. Losing favorites just goes with the territory, I just didn't like losing this many at once!
