Small price to pay for economically punishing Putin.

It sounds like this review should have been titled "I was not prepared (and I didn't learn from my first mistake)." There are a lot of ways to mess up a trip to a strip club. This is a new one. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience but thanks for sharing it. I hope that others will learn from your mistake. I'm curious, had you never read a review of this club? Have you never seen the oft repeated advice for Detroit clubs to negotiate before heading to the private dance area?

FC seems to have a management problem that is having a deleterious effect on the talent at the FC. Many of the former FC girls have moved to LS.

For clarity, it sounds like this is a review of Vampiz, a strip club/brothel about 1/2 block off the main street in Nuevo Progresso. There is another club that is located on the main street about a block further from the border crossing. The second club did not have signage on the outside so I'm not perfectly sure of its official name.

Smilinjack. It sounds like I was taken to the same club. It is on the right hand (western) sied of the main street about a block or two down from the side street with Vampiz. I did not see signage on the outside of this club. I did notice that the address has been changed in the TUSCL directory so that might be helpful to mongers who visit this club, whatever its official name is. Thanks for the clarification.

Papi. I got the same price quote for private dances on the main floor (3 for 100) and for the champagne room experience ($750) from two more dancers after I rejected the first one's offer for a "good time" in the champagne room. It is possible that the club might have changed its pricing structure. In any case, I was willing to invest $100 for three private dances. No way was I going to invest $750 for an upgrade to the champagne room, even if the dancer had been forthcoming about what was available.

Thou shalt negotiate details with the big head before servicing the little head.

Good reply Bytemexo. As a general rule of thumb, you can mention details if you do not identify the dancer. If you identify the dancer, you should provide only vague details. Actually $200 is not an unreasonable price, depending on your extra curricular activities. It still sounds like your dancer was a dud. That is one of the functions of the web site: to share valuable information.

So you had a bad experience with one dancer and you decided to never visit the club again? Sorry that you got burned on the price (how much was it?). This has happened to many of us and it is a good reminder to negotiate the details before starting a private dance, especially if extras might be involved. .

Omega: Are you a club manager? You don't sound like a customer.

Unless I missed something, the address for this club is incorrect. This is the address for a restaurant named Arturo's? I was recently in Neuvo Progresso and I could not locate a club with this name. One of the street hawkers offered to show me to the clubs. I went to Vampiz (pretty poor talent) and also to a club without a sign, might have been Mermaid based on a printed flyer. I never located a club named Senioral Men's Club.

Someone needs to franchise this club and open a few in the prudish USA.

Sweet Shay-- now that this has been published, we can see the name of the contributor. Please keep submitting reviews. We do value contributions from dancers. As noted above, for future reviews, it will help to include some information on the club, the dancers, the stage show and the private dances.

Get a gym membership so you can take a shower before heading home to the SO. And stash away a change of clothes. Better yet, refuse a dance with any girl who wears perfume or glitter.

Q: What do you do? A: Gynecologist in training (sometimes provokes a laugh) Q: What brings you in to the club? A: I like naked women.

Sounds promising. Is this one of the higher mileage (or extras friendly) clubs in Austin or are there other good alternatives?

He's a horny old man who wants to fuck you in all three holes, but at least he's clean, respectful, tips well, and has a good sense of humor.

BlahBlahBlah: That is truly awful advice. Are you sure that they aren't trying to sabotage their competition with that advice? Recall the old adage: "With friends like these, who needs enemies?" If I was offering advice to a new stripper it would include: 1. When you're on stage, make eye contact with the customers and smile. If the customer smiles back, he/she might be a good candidate for spending money on you. 2. If a customer tips you on stage, stop by afterwards to say thanks. Ask if they'd like some company; do not just plop down without getting permission to join the customer. 3. Don't overdo the make up, especially if it is prone to rubbing off during a lap dance. Never, ever wear glitter. Go light on the perfume, or go without perfume. Make sure that you smell (and are) clean---- all parts of your body! 4. Use your time wisely; your time (and body) is money. If you join a customer for a conversation, find a way to check on their interest in a private dance within 5 -10 minutes. If they are not interested, politely excuse yourself and move on to the next customer. 5. How you dance on stage does matter. You don't need to perform world class pole tricks to attract attention. Actually, I sometimes avoid the dancers who put all of their focus into gymnastic pole tricks, in favor of those who are sexy and attempt to make "connection" with the customers. But you should dance confidently and rhythmically. If you are comfortable being seductive and touching your body on stage, that is also a turn on for some customers. If you can wade through the trolls and sarcasm, you can get some pretty good advice from TUSCL members.

Cruzer. No luck spotting Rose. Papi: I generally agree with your comment about stage tipping attracting company that you don't want. But I typically have no problem telling a dancer (politely!) to check back later. Of course some dancers are pushy and sit without even asking, but for me that seems to happen with the less attractive dancers who try to monopolize a customer's time as soon as he sits down. Those are the dancers who more difficult to avoid so that you can check out the other talent.

@Pussylicker. That is a good reason to have mandatory valet for many clubs (i.e., holding the car keys as insurance against a patron who tries to renege on payment with a dancer). In this particular club, i'm aware that mandatory valet was implemented about 3-4 years ago in response to complaints from city residents about about rowdy patrons leaving the club late at night and wandering around the downtown creating problems. Evidently, the mandatory valet keeps the patrons in the parking lot, rather than in the downtown streets. Of course that policy also has the added benefit that you identified. You're right that the mother daughter duo was a hard pass.

@59: Actually, I like reviews that compare multiple clubs. After all, many readers will consult these reviews when trying to decide which club(s) to visit. Why not allow reviewers who have visited multiple clubs in the same trip to compare the clubs.

You spent a lot of money on dances! Mileage/extras??

Just channeling desertscrub.
