Had one of those incredibly slow...
Had one of those incredibly slow days at the office so I made my way down to the Captain's for a bit of mid-afternoon R&R. This is the closest club in the area when I am at work. Considering it is more difficult to make the drive up to L.A. County and how the clubs there (which I usually prefer) are more to my liking, I went ahead and settled on this one. It was nice to walk in there since it was close to 100 degrees out. The cool air in itself was a welcome relief. This club is always well-lit everytime I come to visit. Probably because it acts more like a bar environment than a strip club. Just a few customers sitiing around. Probably a lot of regulars because the girls were greeting them like they knew them pretty well. I was actually pretty hungry when I got there. It feels weird to me to be eating it a strip club. I have never done it before. But my hunger was getting the best of me, so I checked out the spread. It looked pretty good so I grabbed a plate and brought it back to my table where I was enjoying my drink. It wasn't half-bad. Now the reason that I don't like eating at a club like this is because the girls will often come up and talk to you. And most of the time, it is usually when my mouth is full or have something in my teeth. So I kind of kept an eye out for any stealthy moves that the girls made in my direction. I did see Regan again from my last visit earlier this year. She was looking as stunning as ever. She sat and cahtted for a while. I was locked on to her pretty face and cute smile for sure. I had to turn down her dance offer as I wasn't up for a private dance after my meal. So a good visit overall. I killed off about 90 minutes of my day and got a free lunch out of it too. I think I may concentrate more on Regan the next time around. She is well worth it!

The first thing that I noticed...
The first thing that I noticed about the place was that they removed the "Cream" from the name of the club. I have always thought that "Captain Cream" was a pretty risque name for a club, especially in conservative South Orange County. So I wonder if that is a reason why they finally changed it up after all of these years and is called what it is today? In any case, work was incredibly slow for me on a Friday afternoon, and since I work a fairly close distance to the club, I decided to give it a try to see if it was as fun as when I used to visit here over seven years ago. I took an extended lunch at around 1:30, paid my $5.00 entry fee and sat at one of the tables facing the larger of the two stages. It was pretty much the way I remembered it from years past. Probably about 15 patrons in the place having drinks and taking the same extended lunch as I was doing. I only saw about three visible girls present but as my day went along, I counted a total of eight girls working. Apart from two hotties that caught my eye - Regan and Audrey - the talent wasn't all that impressive. One thing that I don't particularly like about this club is when the dancers complete their set on stage, they make their way around the floor stopping at each guy and basically "asking" for a tip, regardless of if you were watching the show or not. They did it back when I last came in and they are still doing it now. A little annoying and you need to make sure that you have dollar bills in stock because these chicks will give you attitude if you don't give in to their panhandling ways. There was this one chick who walked right off the stage and right over to me. I didn't find her attractive but knew I had to get my dollar ready as soon as she came over. Anyway, she asks how I am doing and I say that I was doing alright in a very polite manner and a smile on my face. Apparently, I did not have my dollar fast enough to give to her right at that monent and she took it as me being a cheap bastard and not tipping her. I had every intent of giving her a dollar and she walked away all pissed off. To my surprise, I called her back over and told her straight up that I was simply answering her "How are you?" question and she didn't give me a chance to tip her. She knew I wasn't happy with her BS attitude and gave her measley dollar bill. As she attempted to apologize, I cut her off by telling her to have a nice day. She walked away embarrassed but I literally could care less how she felt. Needless to say, she wasn't coming around my direction for the remainder of my stay. All that for a dollar bill? Wow... I noticed that there was a complimentary lunch set up by the lap area. Audrey and Regan were suggesting that I should try it because it was halfway decent. I just find it strange to eat at a strip club so I passed. I passed on the lap dances too. I didn't ask how much they were but I am assuming that they were still low-mileage bikini dances for $10.00 a pop. Well, I am glad that I got that out of my system and finally made a visit. In all honesty, not impressed whatsoever. I guess that is a good thing because if I ended up having a good time, I would have found myself spending a lot more of my lunch hours here.

Captain Cream Cabaret Location. The club is...
Captain Cream Cabaret Location. The club is located in Lake Forest, south of the I-5 and I-405 intersection – do yourself a favor (well, I hate making left turns across traffic – which is what you have to do if you exit Lake Forest – and that’s only IF you know to turn into the first strip mall on your left after turning North on to Rockview), take the Bake Parkway exit, head east on Bake Parkway and turn right on Rockview. Stay in the right lane. Pass the Irvine Auto Center, look for the IHOP and turn right into the strip mall parking lot. Captain Crèam is off to the left. There is plenty of parking and you won’t feel threatened in this lot – this isn’t your typical ‘club located in an isolated industrial park – I need a bodyguard’ type of location. Outside Appearance. The club exterior is bland – except for CAPTAIN CREAM in huge letters – it is several strip mall units joined together to make the club. Interior. Once you walk in and get past the entry fee counter ($5 when I went in at 6:30 PM on a Tuesday evening – I’ve read it’s higher later in the evening) you’ll see the interior is one of the nicest around (better than Ecstasy, better than Taboo, better than Paradise, better than Déjà vu) – you might not agree with the decorator’s tastes, but it doesn’t have a run-down-needs-renovation feeling at all. It’s rather well lit inside. This club has one drink ($6) minimum and the bar is to the right upon entrance – either mosey up to one of the 6 or so barstools or take a seat and wait for the waitresses. There are two stages, each with 15-20 seats tip-rail side. Numerous small tables with fairly comfy chairs occupy the rest of the floor – but plenty of walking space at the edges. Though you might think it odd of me to mention the restroom – I have to because this club has the best restroom I’ve visited in any club I’ve been to. High class – complete with an attendant offering cologne’s, lotions, towels, etc – I typically am put off by this type of service in fancy hotels, but at this club it was nice – the attendant doesn’t try hardselling – just chats friendly like. AND the stalls actually have doors that lock – stop laughing – several clubs I’ve been to leave the doors off for *security* reasons. Staff. I counted about 6 staff, including the bar tenders, waitresses, doorman & er, bouncers. Hey, this club adheres to the ‘don’t paw the dancer’ rule. The show. As a rule, only one stage is used when the crowd is light. That said, I was surprised when stage 2 was activated during my visit – the crowd was light, and No One was at the 2nd stages tip rail, and NO ONE paid attention (well, except me) to the dancer on the second stage. The dancer on the second stage was spunky, though, and danced without any tippers (ok, I thought she was very attractive and later did get a lap dance from her). I visited the club two weeks in a row, seeing different dancers each visit. The dancers were all 7s or above, with a 10 on each visit. Of the 5 clubs in SoCal that I frequent, only Ecstasy has dancers as attractive. These ladies are pretty – centerfolds in the flesh. As a topless (not totally nude on stage) club, the dancers are good at accentuating their breasts when they dance – I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, topless. One dancer I spoke to put it well – ‘I’m in my burlesque stage’ – and that’s what you’ll see on stage - burlesque. I was surprised on my second visit by one dancer, though she was limited to being topless, she was very sensual in her dance, leaning over the tip rail in a most provocative manner. I guess I mention this because I frequent clubs where the dancers are totally nude on stage – which gives them an edge in being provocative because they show what guys want to see – so when a dancer can still be sexually provocative with her panties on, I applaud her. The lap dance. I was charged $20 for a lap dance – one song long. Lap dances are done at the back of the club (I mean farthest from the door – I don’t mean to imply that the dancer and the customer have any privacy). Seats for the customer are in an L shape; the seat I sat in for my lap dances was near a pole that the dancer could use during her routine. This is a no touch club – you sit in the chair and the dancer does her dance – that said, I asked my lap dance partners and was told if the dancer feels comfortable, she will initiate contact – but not much – security (nicely dressed) is within 25 feet. Conclusion. Captain Cream is a well maintained and staffed club, with very lovely ladies dancing burlesque (with some of the most sophisticated lingerie I’ve seen in any club – not a silly costume in sight – I felt like I was watching Marlene Dietrich in the Blue Angel, or Liza Minelli in Cabaret). Do come here to see very satisfying eye candy, don’t come here expecting to fulfill a sexual fantasy with a beautiful woman.
