Oh and I never checked the news to see if anyone claimed anything. I wasn't much of a gambler or lottery player. I never noticed if there were any stories, coulda been and I never thought to pay attention...

Yep.. Since 2004, anyone running for any office, my SERIOUS answer was always the same, if I was, like, asked with a gun to my head or on TV: I don't care who they are, don't underestimate them. Anyone can win.

Wow! She's awesome

https://www.restaurant-55.com/ check out the pictures inside. see, this is kinda what it kinda once kinda looked like as a strip club. back when it was hopping. i'm sure they've made more furniture changes. i'm saying this is kinda gonna give you an idea of what it could've looked like in there as a strip club. now imagine that just disappearing after covid. imagine that just disappearing when it's been around since the 1990s. imagine that just disappearing after 4 US Presidencies --- Clinton, Bush II, Obama, Trump all of a sudden. imagine being there for every reinvention and seeing it still survive. yeah and i remember them serving food in the latter years as a strip club. so it seems now it's gone fully serving food. might have to check this place out.

YAY! I GOT MY ANSWER! DON'T MEAN TO YELL, BUT I WANTED Y'ALL TO KNOW THERE IS AN ANSWER! SUPER FUEGO IS NOW JUST A REGULAR CLUB FOR CIVVIES / CIVILIANS. IT'S NOW CALLED 'RESTAURANT 55'. SEE, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT STRIP CLUB THAT WAS BORN IN THE 1990s, WENT THROUGH DIFFERENT IDENTITIES AND NAME CHANGES AND BUSINESS MODELS WOULD JUST VANISH....BECAUSE OF COVID? REALLY? SO, .YO, THIS STRIP CLUB HAS RE-INVENTED ITSELF ONCE MORE, I GUESS. IT'S NOW A REGULAR LOUNGE. CALLED RESTAURANT 55. I WAS GONNA SAY. I MEAN, THEY HAD ALL THAT FURNITURE THERE. MAN. THEY REMODELED THAT PLACE AND STUFF. I MEAN, I COULDN'T BELEIVE THEY'D JUST LIQUIDATE ALL THAT STUFF WHEN THEY'VE RE-INVENTED THEMSELVES SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. YAY! SO GLAD I GOT MY ANSWER. AND THE WORLD CONTINUES TO MAKE SENSE.

check out the wnba standings link or you can google it. you see, at first in the beginning of the year, the 2 bad teams were the washington mystics and the indiana fever. remember they were winless the first handful of games. someone must've noticed: 4 teams stay home and don't go to the playoffs outta the 12. if caitlyn's team ain't 1 of the 8 teams in the playoffs "noone" will watch. she's gotta be in. but the indiana fever were losing all their first handful of games. i'm guessing someone sent the memo to all teams, gonna have to flop like lebron a game or two so indiana gets in the playoffs. if i were a betting man, i'd bet that caitlyn and the indiana fever appear in the wnba playoffs. they gotta be. otherwise the viewers won't watch? so that means teams gonna have to lose game just so she can be there. right? SMH

If you have Facebook, just type 'Super Fuego DMV' and check out their FB page. Keep in mind March 2020 is when Covid shut everything down. March 202O are the last posts of Super Fuego in FB. They were offering food. They were closing late. They were keeping up with the website... They had radio ads on the radio, man! Announcing the upcoming weekend each coming weekend. Just disappears. SMH.

Thanks for the responses. I know businesses change and times change. No one needs to wonder why Super Fuego closed. But hold up. I wonder. Because something isn't adding up. Just when it comes to Fuego. lol. Someone mentioned: PG County. Yes; true. PG County shut down a bunch of its iconic legendary strip clubs: Sinsaysionals, Irving's, Harley Riders. But PG County did that in 2016. I'll never forget the year because it was the year all the celebs died: Muhammad Ali, Price, Princess Leia, David Bowie. 2016. Fuego survived that. So did Sinsaysionals; both survived the 2016 axe. Sinsay didn't die until 2022. Believe it or not, the original Diablo's was arguably walking distance to Showcase theater strip club. And Showcase is still around. Now Body Shop is neighbors with Showcase. And I wouldn't be surprised if Body Shop is somehow the reincarnated Fuego. But I don't think so. The numbers don't add up to me. Showcase Theater is still around. Sinsaysionals was struggling hard before it died in 2022. But Fuego had reinventef itself 4 different times. Dint mind me, I'm just thinking aloud here. Again, I started going to Diablo's in the late 90s. Same time I heard about Showcase Theater. So let's say Diablo's is roughly 20 years old since it died in 2020. We could loosely say, the exaggerated story of Diablo's is a story of 4 quarters like football. We can loosely say the first quarter was 5 years: Diablo's not to far from Showcase theater which is still around today. A hole in the wall strip club. Forgettable. Quaint. Modest. Second Quarter: D2s -- took the first name of Diablo's and decided to make it's second coming. Now moved into a different building, county. A big warehouse, no furniture, tons of wasted space. Still in anonymity. Still a hole in the wall, strip club like any. It's now been this way for 2 quarters, 5 yrs Diablo's, roughly 5 years as D2. Third quarter: name change. Furniture. Neon lights. Next 5 years. More Dancers. International dancers. Notoriety. Local fame. Buzz on the street. Name change of Fuego salutes the original Diablo's theme : Spanish, devil, fire. We are now roughly 15 years in. Fourth quarter: last name change. Super Fuego now. This last 5 years is to maintain the grind of the first 5 and to keep it going. But it's not working. Yet there are constant radio ads. One of the very very very few strip clubs with constant radio ads on local radio. People would get upset these radio ads came on during the afternoon every once in awhile by mistake where kids could hear. Seemed like everyone had been to Super Fuego's once, even if you knew nothing about strip clubs or hated them.. Then Covid hits and the spot punts in re-opening. What gives? This venture had now gone 20 years. Successfully reinventing itself. Many DMV stripclubs have not moved locations. Few have gone through any name changes. Diablo's did that and more. Diablo's seemed to be a survivor. Diablo's seemed to have an armor. We are now 4 years post Covid and Super Fuego is still gone 4 yrs later. What happened? There are stripclubs in the area clinging for deal life but still around. This should've been Super Fuego in 2023 once a 'neighbor' of Showcase Theater which is still around, never moved from its general block. It's like watching someone get married 4 times and 5 years after their 4th marriage suddenly committing suicide. You're like don't tell me your 4th marriage ain't make you happy lol. I expected Fuego to move again. Or switch up again the business model. Something. Not just die lol

Sorry, I don't get what the OP is asking or if any conclusions can be made. Way I see it: strip clubs are random. I use to offhand wonder if strip clubs are near colleges. But they aren't; just because a few I knew were. There's been a real-life stripclub like a mile from The White House for decades. Yes, Thee White House. Strip clubs are random, man. They can kinda hatch anywhere. Florida has more churches per capital than any US state, right? Or something like that. But ain't it only behind Texas in number of stripclubs? Populations change. Vermont and New Hampshire ain't got many or any stripclubs. That could change with any population shift.

By the way, when it was Diablo's it was the mid-to late 90s when I first visited this club. It went from the late 90s to 2020. Some strip clubs are like roaches in a house. Always around, just can't kill it. I wouldn't care if I hadn't seen it reinvent itself so many times and be a survivor. I can't believe it 'died'...

The way I remember it: local politicians wanted to dissolve all the strip clubs in the county. So one year, to achieve that, they thought: what if we made it nearly impossible for these SC to renew their liquor license, all the SCs would have to close due to losing money from lower liquor sales. But it backfired. The SCs one after the other dumped serving liquor at their spots altogether. And patronage actually increased. Dudes who stopped going to the strip clubs returned now that there was no alcohol and no vomit everywhere and drunken fights and DUIs. The strip clubs started offering more juice and sodas and dudes were grabbing that. Dudes and dancers were digging the changed atmosphere of everyone being sober, now both dancers and johns were clear-headed. The county politicians regretted this backfire. I'd how I remember it. To this day some of those SCs that are still open still don't serve alcohol. I remember how overjoyed some owners were that area SC owners were all dropping the alcohol licenses and saving money from that process and headaches. It's how I remember it...

lol y'all focused the Dancing Bear example of mine way too much. I just mentioned Dancing Bear as an offhand example, yo. How did this turn into 'I'm not gonna watch a guy get head in a strip club' thread. That's not the question here. The basic question was: if a Strip Club is filming something minor and posted it online and you're visible appearing in the background, would it upset you. I just posted the Dancing Bear as an example. And I get how some were like, it's all acting and the ladies are in on it for the Dancing Bear. Sure. But what about 10-15 years down the road when that lady got a family and kids and she's a different person than a decade ago. I'm also asking because you may also be like with all the money I spent at this damn SC, I'm cool with appearing in the background of a video. This SC may not be around forever. It's nice I was captured partying there. I was in this situation. Walked in the SC and there were professional cameras all around. They were taping a commercial for the club that would appear in Vimeo. At first I avoided the cameras but it was impossible. Then I thought it'd be cool to appear in the background. Just for a second, tho. Now it's been like a decade later and that SC has been gone like 7 years now. The owner was murdered or something. I don't know where that commercial is. But I do see their vids on Vimeo. I don't see myself in any of them which is a relief. But now that this SC is all gone, it's like, damn now I wouldn't be upset if I appeared briefly in a vid, the SC is all gone now..

kids today will 'never' know about: * watching non-stop music videos on MTV, BET, VH-1, after school * watching daily video countdown shows on MTV and BET * local mom-and-pop VHS / DVD video stores with an Adult / XXX section behind a curtain * playing pick-up football games after school with fellow kids from the neighborhood * hanging out at an arcade with a pocket full of quarters * Cereal commercials for a wide array of different morning cereals * floppy disks for computers * non-electric typewriters * public city bus daily paper transfers tickets * white correction tape for typewriters

I wish I remembered the url or her name. Wish I wrote it down. Again, I don't have a problem if she hookers on Backpage or on Onlyfans. Because: it's not on 'Front Street'. She put herself on front street. The name of her 1-man business was like let's say 'Liberty Tugs'. I remember she had images of the American flags waving on her site. So, I'm telling you, her site was like www.libertytugs dot.com or something like it, where you could accidentally find it, not looking for anything sexual. See what I mean? At least wear a mask or hide your face somehow, nope, she had her full face there with rates. Someone mentioned it could be a phony sting site; I hadn't thought of that, but if I remember correctly a very mild acquaintance of mine claimed to offhand know her and confirmed she was a local dancer. If I remember right. If she was a middle-aged woman, who cares. I mean live your life at that point. She was a college-aged kid. Like, how many other college aged kids you know has their own website where they alone maintain and advertise tug jobs. Now, she was onto something: nowadays we have OnlyFans. But you gotta register into the site, right? Her website was easily googled lol. If you're just a face in the crowd on Backpage, I got no problems. You know why? Anyone can steal arandom person's image a post a phony ad on Backpage. And get away with it. I can't see someone stealing someone's image just for one website and maintaining that same 1-girl image, especially if the 1-girl happens to be a local. Again, she was kinda onto something because now there's OnlyFans. Wasn't around back then. How does she feel her classmates could see this?

like how did law enforcement not just roll up on her? she was local too...

BTW, normally I wouldn't approach a stripper's family members but 2 things: I knew she had health issues and I hadn't heard from or seen her in years. When she randomly reached out to me I thought it was a scammer 'making light' of her health status online and trying to trick people under her profile unbeknownst to her. In her social media, her barely adult son is one of her profile friends, so even tho I don't know him, I alerted him like hey I don't know you but I think someone hacked your mom's page. He responded that's actually really her. He responded he also didn't have money to spare her. (He's barely an adult himself) He didn't ask me for money which is good. But he said he'd reach out to help her. There's a recent picture of them together on her page so I figured they get along. Maybe I shoulda just sent the $60 she asked for. But again, I ain't heard or seen her in years. I thought if I give $60 now, this may never stop. She was such a nice person back in the day, but, I dunno. It wasn't like we were close friends...

on the other hand, 10 years is actually a real long time. like, I had a different day job 10 years ago---where's my money today from my job back then, 10 years ago? spent. lol. so why should this be any different for strippers who stripped 10 years ago, why on earth should they still have any coins from that today? then again, I could argue, but my job from 10 years ago, I still got a 401K from that and it's still active even thought I dont' work there no more. My 401K still makes roughly about $200 a year very slowly, but i'll take it. I dunno. the whole picture is so sad because of 'the party atmosphere' too. looking back now, 10 years later, now it's a mirage, kinda fake. but back then, 10 years ago, at the strip club, it's pure youth, lights, shakin' booty, loud music, dry humping lapdances. 10 years later, it's reality, no music, older, health failing, now scrounging for money. nobody's around to help. hasn't stopped me from going to the strip club last night, tho lol

I know, I know it seems super obvious. It's probably a family member or friend. Sorry, but I'm old-school. I don't think folks regularly give out their Facebook passwords. That's why I'm asking. Especially since she passed so suddenly of natural causes. And I'm thinking if it's a friend or family member, why not put a general statement on their FB page saying "Yeah, this person passed today. Thnx for the condolences. Don't send messenger stuff, etc".

Forgot to mention: as far as I know, she's single, no kids and lives alone. So I can't figure out who'd be responding to any Messenger stuff on her behalf. I'm wondering if "Active 20 min ago" could also mean Incoming correspondence? Not just outgoing. But I sent her messenger three question marks when I saw it said "Active 20 min ago" That seems unread and that didn't change her active status to include the three ??? question marks I sent.

You also may change your mind if you branch out and visit other strippies. Outside your county, state, etc. check out strippies in the hood. Not just gentleman clubs but like garage strip clubs, private house strippies. Be safe tho

My take on it: I started hitting the strippies (strip clubs) since I was like 18. I'm almost 50 now and still love it. Something about ANY strippies I walk into instantly makes me feel like I'm home. You're young; only barely in your mid-20s. You may feel different about wanting extras when you're older in your mid 40s and now you're dealing with younger babes in their 20s. I did the energy and the sights in any strippies room. But that's about it. I don't care for convos with dancers. I need a different space for that. I used to go on youth retreats--that spoiled me for honest convos. At your age yeah I don't think you'd be all into extras. I don't think I was. Wait a few more years, it'll grab ya. And anyways it's hard to compare extras from my days when I was in my mid 20s in the 1990s and compare it to your extras today when you're in your mid 20s in the 2020s. You have cameras to worry about, woke culture, cell phones capturing you, monkey pox, Covid, lawsuits, man who your age are gunning for strip club extras without a care to the wind? In my day, the girls dancing were different than today. Getting extras was just a seemingly random happenstance that occurred. It happened and you didn't think much of it afterwards except you were super happy and told who you could that you got lucky. You weren't immediately recorded by any cameras or social media. The girls were different the music was different. You just went with it and didn't think much about it being a thing-thing. Versus today. Now extras are "a solid thing-thing" IMO. It has history, tradition now grown up for the past 20-30 years. Right? Like, I say this allllll the time. When I went on my college spring breaks to Florida in the early 90s, it was the thing to see one chick in a thong in public or just see one chick making out in public with another chick to make guys cheer. You'd talk about that for a month when you got back home, how you never saw that in public it was so hot and boss. Now it's generations later and girls will carry their own cellphones and video themselves making out with other chicks in public or chicks film themselves with no panties in public. I'm not mad or complaining. I'm just saying, anyone growing up now sees this as normal so they wouldn't be all excited for extras at the club in current times. I don't go to the strippies for extras, but I'd think I'd kinda stop going if there was no chance no possibilities if extras. I think we'd all be lying to ourselves if we say, "if there were no extras ever offered in strip clubs again, I'd still be going". I don't think I'd go as much. I don't go for the extras but it's always in the back of my mind I hope it randomly happens tonight, so lemme go see... This was not meant to pick on you or anything ..
