VIP machines like those girls have regulars that agree to come in at certain times. It almost like appointments. They have their phones in their purse and are checking them for " I'll be there in 20 minutes for my VIP" texts.

Tatiana's head was never on straight. She got fired from Follies maybe 6-7 years ago.

Speaking of $100's I once saw a guy rain about 8 $100 bills. He was dressed like Huggy Bear (old farts will understand). Some hit the floor and caused a scene because some PL near the stage grabbed a couple and headed out the door. Did not stick around to see if it led to a 2 AM'er in the parking lot.

Are these guys trying to get the dancer's attention for when she gets off stage, generous in their tipping or trying to impress their entourage or the other PL's? It is no guarantee to get you attention. At the Oasis in the Atlanta area you sometimes see guys make it rain. The dancer scoops up all that money and usually goes right back to the whale that she was sitting with before she got on stage. If you are being generous, slip a $20 or more into the garter. If you do it to make your ego have an orgasm, more power to ya!

@misterorange The argument (not saying I agree with it) is that it is hard for them to get to DMV during business hours, especially on public transportation. So how about issuing them at post offices? It would give the PO another source of revenue (from the government paying them to perform that service). Now you have several or dozens of locations rather than one countywide facility.

Requiring ID to vote has been around my whole life. If you don't require ID to vote, how do you prevent fraud? No one answers that question! OK, I understand the reasons it may be harder for minorities and the poor to get an ID. I get it. MAKE IT EASIER to get them an ID. Problem solved. Excuse eliminated. I posted this earlier in the thread. In one study, One of every six African American adults have been issued a DL but it is suspended or revoked (and therefore is not accepted as an ID. The ballot will be rejected because the ID does not come back as valid). The most common reason is unpaid traffic fines.

I love to throw fistfuls of dollars at dancers, but it does not have the same effect as years ago. The Sacagawea ones don't leave welts like those big Eisenhower dollars did. Bouncers often followed me to my car trying to thank me.

The long lines are caused by lack of ID's. The provisional ballot process slows things down immensely.

If you don't require ID to vote, then the voter is anonymous. How do you know that person is eligible to vote? How do you know they have not voted already? They can vote 10 times in 10 different places that they don't even live. How exactly do you envision it would work? Also, an ID has been required since I started voting in the 70's. It is nothing new.

UNC searching for the next Bill Guthridge! Never follow a legend.

A bit more on this. Georgia already required (before the new law) you to have a form of state ID to vote other than in person. So I don't see how this has really changed. From the web site for the November election. You had to type in your identification number. "Follow the portal prompts to request your ballot online. You will need submit your first and last name, date of birth, driver's license or state-issued identification number, county of residence, address, phone number, and email address. For primary elections, you will need to request a Democrat, Republican, or Non-Partisan ballot."

Did some reading on the subject. A major reason for longer lines in predominantly A-A areas is the high frequency of filling out provisional ballots because of lack of ID. This holds up the lines for everyone. By far the most common form of ID is a Driver's License. A-A's are much less likely to have a license because they are less likely to be drivers. They either live in a city (more common for A-A's) or cannot afford a car and have no need for a license. "In Orange County, Calif., about 92 percent of white voters had driver’s licenses, compared with only 84 percent of Latino voters and 81 percent of “other” voters. A 2005 study of Wisconsin similarly found that while about 80 percent of white residents had licenses, only about half of African-American and Hispanic residents had licenses." (It is not clear how SS and other benefits are processed, but I know SS, Medicare and Medicaid ID's do not have photos. A guess is that birth certificates or some other form of ID are used on a one-time basis to establish such services.) Then I found this tidbit in a Wisconsin study about people with Driver's Licenses: "The Wisconsin study found that an estimated 8 percent of Hispanic adults and 17 percent of African-American adults had no current license but had a recent suspension or revocation. Almost half of suspended driver’s licenses were due to failure to pay outstanding fines, which may explain why poor people are less likely to have licenses." So putting all this together: African Americans are poor, so they can't or won't pay their traffic tickets, so they lose their licenses which are their only form of ID, so they have to fill out provisional ballots and and that causes the line to jam up at predominantly African American polling places. So let's defund the police so they don't get traffic tickets and don't lose their licenses and that will make voting lines shorter. Sigh. There are provisions of the Georgia law that restrict efforts to get out the vote that were predominantly used by African American churches. - The churches would organize bus and shuttle service from Sunday services to early voting polling places. The Georgia law restricts Sunday voting. - Because of the longer lines (see above) the churches would organize water and snack distribution in the long lines. This is now explicitly prohibited. - Because of the long lines (see above) African American voters could not as easily miss time from work. They took advantage of absentee/early voting.

It may be all three. Maybe they had a gas leak and hired an unlicensed plumber to fix it?

Someone mentioned a gas leak at Platinum closed it down. Maybe the repairs are extensive?

Agree. You can get extras, but that's about the only thing they have in common, including the price ($300 all in is the minimum for 30 minutes at Tattletales). the vibe is very different.

I work from home and got to the strip club to clear my head. Come to think of it, both heads!

It is discussed a lot in the reviews for Oasis in Atlanta. There are at least a couple of guys that are there virtually every day. One even brings his laptop and does work. They step outside to take business calls etc. They often have 2-4 girls at the table for hours. Some go on stage and go right back to their guy. I have had many dancers, include ones that are sometimes tied up with these guys tell me these guys "tip out" at the end of their several hour visit, giving each girl a few hundred dollars, minimum. They will sometime go to VIP and pay more than double what I would be charged for the same pussy. That said, there are others that are also there very regularly that tie up dancers but are not spending the big bucks. The girls just like to party with them. The dancers tell me they will do that on "slow nights" when "they can't make any money anyway". These are the nights I go home with $500+ in my wallet and blue balls. Don't try and figure out stripper logic of a lot of strippers. The choice is find a guy to go to VIP and get boinked and make a couple of hundred dollars or sit with the guy that buys them drinks and chicken wings. As long as they make enough money to pay the bills, they party the rest of the time.

As sinclair mentioned, I found a girl on the Block in Baltimore that said she could not have sex because she had a baby about a week before. Her tits were like rocks. She said she was not going to breastfeed and I could have as much milk as I wanted. I passed. She offered Greek. I passed. She offered a BJ for $50 right at the bar. I accepted. This was in the late 80's and you could get away with sex right at the bar if you were in the right spots. I was at a club in Dallas and a derringer fell out of a girl's little purse. Rough club I guess.

The upper level is just the DJ booth and two or three larger VIP rooms. The club has many high roller old white guy regulars. Those girls just sitting and chatting are making good money doing it, so it is understandable that they do not circulate. Sucks for us, but that's why. Oh, and those old guys with the entourage of strippers are getting whatever they want in VIP. With the right girls, so can you.

Amber Lynn and Ginger Lynn (not at the same show). Feature acts at the Gold Rush in Atlanta in the 90's. Ginger Lynn let some lucky guy play with the dildo in her ass. The dancers were always pissed off because the features were allowed to get away with stuff the that would get the regular dancers fired. Got a lap dance from Amber, but with a bodyguard standing next to me it was not very enjoyable.

Sounds like you need to look at golf courses near Tampa. Or Detroit.

I have had many competent female colleagues and bosses over the decades. They only ones I have an issue with are the ones that wave the equality flag when it suits them but will later pull the "You can't expect me to do/know that! I'm just a girl!"

Twice. Once when I was in college and completely drunk. Something hit me in the eye and I thought I was badly injured (crying like a baby). Two dancers took me to the dressing room to wash out my eye and make sure I was OK. The other time in the 80's. I was at a dive club similar to the Baltimore Block (but not there). This was the days before VIP rooms were common. Extras were done in the closet in the back of the dressing room.

We were told we can no longer say these things in interviews: Are you all black? you don't look all black. I've never heard of that school. Is it a black college? Are you from Mexico or one of the islands? Did your family come here before or after Pearl Harbor? Maybe we can go to lunch and you can teach me how to use chopsticks. Some of the girls like to sunbathe during lunch. There is a perfect spot right outside my office where no one can see you. We have a quite liberal casual dress policy for women. The guys like to give pointers on what they like to see girls wear. Are those real? Braless Friday is an office tradition and highly encouraged. A couple of the girls that were quite popular around the office got promoted to manager, if you know what I mean. Are you interested in rapid advancement? Are you fluent in any foreign languages? (that one is real! can't ask that!) You must have been in college in the 70's (can't ask that either)

Hopefully you can share some stories in the future. Sounds like you have gone into this with eyes wide open and are in control. Good for you. So how much DID you want for that blowjob?
