I think the talent level, just in terms of looks, is pretty constant, but the level of interest in the client has dropped off. In my heyday of clubbing, the early 1990's, I judged who I would spend time and money with on the basis if who really seemed interested in my entertainment. Today there are a few who still take that attitude but the approach, "Here's the menu and the price list, take it or leave it," is much more common.

I think TUSCL_Brother has the right idea. As one who is not exactly a matinee idol but tries to be presentable in appearance, I feel more comfortable with a woman who is attractive without approaching perfection. There is an occasional "9" who ranks high in personality too, but send me to the back room with a hot "7" and I'll be happy.

Like many former teachers, the first time I met a former student taking it off on stage at a club in a nearby city, I was a bit embarrassed, but nothing like she was. Timidly she asked. "Didn't you used to be Mr.R?" I answered, "I still am."

I live 200 miles from the Sundowner, 1,200 miles from Mons, but I'd take the airfare to Florida out of the $1,000 budget & get a cheap flight to Tampa. Sundowner is a good club but Mons is the gold standard. About 1994 I actually flew from Baltimore to Tampa on Saturday afternoon, caught a hotel shuttle bus to within a block of Mons, hiked to the club, stayed there all night, then did the trip in reverse in the morning. Other than breakfast at the Denny's on Dale Mabry, I didn't spend a nickel outside the club. Ah, the good old days.

My lapdance notebook, kept since 1993, shows 8 dances as my record at one sitting. Most recent of those was at the sorely-missed Club Peek-A-Boo in West Palm Beach in 2004 with a remarkably beautiful and conversational black woman named Vanity. I've done more in one evening with one dancer, but only by calling time out.
