After years, I finally had the...
After years, I finally had the chance to visit PP. I'd heard much about the place and talked with a number of TUSCLers that had visited. The anticipation was palatable as I started the drive over. On this visit I had hoped to meet the famous shadowcat, our Avalon, and an Asian dancer I'd heard about from a few. As I drove up, the place looked like most any other SC. On entering, I was a bit surprised to have an afternoon cover charge, but it was only $3 as I recall. When you first enter, right there is the bar. I ordered a reasonably price beer. I found later that HH started at 4PM. I asked the pleasant barmaid where I might find the Candyman. As I headed that way I saw three stages spread throughout the club all with attractive dancers on them. Each dancer did a three song set, one on each stage. All the time I was there, I saw only a single dancer that wasn't fine. Anyway, as I ventured to find shadowcat and Avalon, I at first had no luck. AS I turned back to the bar to ask again, I noticed someone walking up, sc. Seems he was hidden where I had looked, likely by Avalon. She could "hide" me whenever she wishes. :) Such a lovely and pleasant woman. After meeting all, I settled into a seat and watched lovely after lovely come to the close-by stage. Stage tipping can get you an incredible minute or two close up "Thank you". Turned out the Asian dancer I so wished to see was not working due to a recent accident. That said, shadow and Avalon told me they had a suitable substitute for me. She was in the dressing room getting ready. They told me she would Dazzle me. A bit later she comes out on the main stage. Shadow and Avalon go talk with her. She does her song there, goes to the first satellite stage then to the second, right by us. Shadow tells me, "watch this" as he goes to tip her. The couple of minutes he was there might be the most incredible tip "Thank you" I've seen in years of visiting clubs. Well I had to try my hand at tipping. DAMN! I felt like I was nearly raped! :) What a lovely they had picked out for me. She gets off the stage comes right over and continues her assault! This was moving from a great SC visit to an epic one. Being from S. Florida, I had never experienced anything close to a S. Florida club when I've been away from there. This club could be one of the best were it in S. Florida. I was wondering why I should even venture to the LD area. Dancers set their own prices and for multiple dances, the cost per cums down. I DID go and found out WHY! Good thing I am not close to this club or I'd quickly become a pauper! Now the bad news. Since I was in the area for work, I didn't have much time and had to get going. It took incredible willpower to pull myself away. I did receive a very nice goodby from all, especially my new dancer friend. On the drive back to where I was staying, I had the enjoyment of an XXXmas CD given to me by shadowcat. Laughed the whole drive back. If anyone ever gets a chance to visit this club, DO NOT PASS IT UP! If you are a TUSCLer, try to hook up with shadow. That man seems to rule that club! A wonderful time! PS - As noted in the below review, they had a Christmas party there that evening. I see I just missed pop as I was going to get out before it started. An interesting side note for me, my new dancer friend told me we should go to the LD area before the party gets started as so many would be there and we would be able to enjoy our time back there. She was SO correct!

There may have been more dancers...
There may have been more dancers I did not see because I thought I only saw around 20 or so. I stayed in my seat most of the time this visit sitting back just watching. I was watching some young good looking female customers tip the dancers on stage a lot of the night. Some people were throwing a lot of dollar tips on the main stage. Before I left, someone covered the main stage with bills all over the stage like leaves under a tree in the Fall. Must have been $100 in tips. I was about to leave so I didn't catch who did that. Overall I enjoyed my visit. Got talked into one two for one lap dances from someone who I thought wasn't going to get off of me unless I bought some dances. She warmed me up but definitely wasn't my favorite. Then ran into another dancer who recognized me. Got more two for one's. Then was offered two for $20 from a nice looking dancer whom I hadn't seen on stage. I suppose by then some girls were coming in late and I never saw them all because not everyone dances on stage. I forget why but I ended up paying her $30 instead of $20. I didn't want her holding back but I doubt her dances would have been any different. I would have prefered to see the female customers getting topless on stage but I guess they had too much on or the dancers didn't go far enough with them. Maybe this is the toned down atmosphere now. I don't know. There is plenty of free parking outside and someone was watching the parking lot at least when I arrived. They have three parking lots that I know of. A vip one downhill next to the club which I believe they charge for, one straight across the road, and one just above the club up the hill. A Waffle House is just down the road from the club. The air wasn't as smoky as on past visits which I like. I believe the city banned smoking but it still takes place within the club.

I try to hit up PP...
I try to hit up PP when I can since it is the only decent SC close to me. I gotta say the quality of the dancers has gone down a lot in the past couple years. 3 years ago, most of the girls were a solid 8s-10. The worst would be a 7 which I would have to settle for since all the 8-10s were giving $30 vip dances. I went on a saturday night which gets crazy busy real quick. Paid a $8 cover and walked on up. The music is ridiculously loud still. As soon I get to the bar, a 40+ old Philippine grandma comes up to me asking me if I want a dance. PASS! I politely say no and she whips out a flapjack boob while asking for a tip. I gave her a $1 out of pity. This lady had no business working in this club. Management needs to kick her old ass out. Next comes a brunette spinner who came at me pissed. She was complaining about how she wasn't making any money and just wanted to go home. She flat out asked me to take her home so we can have some fun at her place for $100. We had to meet at the waffle house down the road because dancers can't be seen leaving with customers. As soon as I'm about to leave, a cute blonde stops me and tells me she would give me the best lap dance of my life. After debating whether or not to ditch my previous arrangement, I decide to try out the blonde (heard too many horror stories of guys getting suckered to hotels only to get robbed by a boyfriend or pimp hiding in the room). She quotes $30/dance which is standard early in the evening (didn't feel like haggling). She takes off her top and reveals natural C-cups. She whispers for me to unzip my pants. I do... and she does nothing...just keeps dancing. After 3 dances, I realize I got scammed. I tell her I want to settle up and she says I owe her $150!!! My math aint that great but I know 3x$30 = $90. I tell her she counted wrong and I don't appreciate being hustled. She gives me this guilty look and tells me to sit back down and she'll dance 2 songs for free. At this point I get a good look at her eyes and see she is coked out of her mind. I give her $90 and head back to the bar. 10 minutes later, the same blonde comes up to me saying she would give me the best lap dance of my life. I wanted to say "Bitch you just tried to hustle me, remember?" but it wouldn't have done any good since she was completely wasted. It's close to 5am and I decide to call it a night. A skinny white girl comes up to me saying she has a special $20/dance special. I pass and she counters with $10/dance. I politely refuse but she was borderline begging me, saying "come on...you don't have $10" I had $40 left so I figured what the hell. BIg mistake. She was a robot the whole time. Touching was allowed everywhere but no fun if the girl's mind is somewhere else. I guess it has to be when she's getting groped by guys all night. I go to clubs to unwind and have fun... not deal with dancer's problems and BS. I probably won't be going back for a while.

Paid a visit on Tuesday hoping one of my favorites was working. I asked the door girl who confirmed the dancer was there. Paid the cover and went in. Music is definitely not as loud as night shift and smoke not as bad either. Spotted the dancer coming out of dance room going to the dressing room. When she came back out of dressing room went back to dance area by big TV screen and apparently continued dance for someone she had been dancing for. I left and came back almost an hour later and she was free so off we went to the dance area. She was very hands on thru my shorts so I unzipped so she could find her target easily and it wasn't long before mission was accomplished. Went back Wednesday and asked if she was in and was told by the door girl she was so went in after paying the cover and found her on one of the couches to the left of mens room. She said she was bored so off we went to dance area. Once again made the target more accesible by unzipping but in spite of lots of attention it was a no go. Yesterday must have worn me out. Gave her the same money as Tues and left. Went back Wed night and the loud music almost knocks you down when you walk into the club area. Smoke is pretty bad as well. Saw Bree there looking as lovely as ever. Best looking gal was leaving as I was going into the club. There was a new dancer making her PP debut sporting a Tyra Banks look but she never showed her boobs on the main stage or satellite stages-WTF? One hell of an ass though! Love the afternoons-hate the nights especially when the really obnoxious DJ(you know who you are!)is there. Motormouth to the nth degree-loves to hear himself talk!

Visited Platinum Plus/Columbia on Mon 11/28 at 8:30pm. Topless club w/ full liquor. I had a free pass so did not pay a cover. Parking was easy, as they have a fairly large plot. There was a Mon Football special from 8pm to close: 50cents miller lt drafts (8oz cups), $3 call liquor, and free food at halftime (chicken wings, which was worth about what you paid for). Regular price domestic bottle was $4.50. Club is about mid-sized, looked like it was probably once a very nice club but has not been refitted for a while. It’s clean and polished but the upholstery was getting a bit ragged. There are 3 stages: a large half-pill main stage raised at torso level against the back wall, and 2 small caged stages near the front bar. Looked like the dancer does 2 songs on the main stage, then rotate thru the cage stages at 1 song each. There are 2 bars, one at the front near the entrance and one at the back to the left of the stage. There is a VIP room on the left side of the club, and 2 couch dance rooms (1 at the front near the bar and 1 in the back right corner). Place was not very happening. There were about 15 dancers working and about 20 customers. Of the dancers, only 1 was hot, 5 above avg, 5 avg, and 4 below avg. [My dancer rating scale: hot 10-9, above avg 8-7, avg 6-4, below avg 3-1]. All 3 stages were active but it seems like the dancers can go on or not as they please, as sometime there are no dancers on any of the stages. Was there for 2 hours and some dancers never went on stage at all. The club gives out $2 bills as change to sucker you to tip more, which was annoying. Dancers were not too pushy in selling dances. Seems like lap dances were negotiable based on the dancer (probably avg out to $20/dance) but I did not get any. Just did some stage tipping and the dancers give some good contact for their tip.

A late Saturday night after midnight...
A late Saturday night after midnight with a completely packed club. They just let them keep walking in the door even when there's absolutely no room inside, but no matter how packed it is you can still eventually find your way around to wherever you want to be. Probably around 80 to 100 girls working as well based on what dancers told me, but I always saw the 40 or 50 walking around. In the three hours I was there, there weren't many repeats on the stages but that doesn't mean a lot of different girls where dancing. Sometimes the satellite's were empty, I'm guessing because the girls that were called either didn't want to dance or were in the couch room. Speaking of the couch room, whoever says people aren't buying dances is off, at least when it comes to Saturday nights after midnight. Every time I went back we had to wait for an empty spot in the couch rooms by the big screen, but the couch room by the bathroom always had some room. I still think they should put up a curtain or something there. Who wants to get their couch dance pretty much right out there in the open? And what girls want to have all these guys just looking inside without paying? When I got there (either 1 or 2, I can't remember) they already stopped serving drinks except for a watered down draft beer and jello shots. That law needs to be ammended, especially when you have over 100 customers who would have probably bought about $10,000 worth of drinks had they been available. Ken Wood, fight for your company's bottom line! Got good dances from two spinners, probably 12 dances total between the two. There were a lot of girls I was interested in but some were hard to get given how busy the place was. Hopefully next time
