Pleasant surprise #1: Finding money on the parking lot ground while I was leaving the strip club for the night on the way to my car. I wanna say it was a $20 bill--but I can't remember; it was a handful of years ago. Pleasant surprise #2: So, my #1, HOF/ATF aka favorite stripper ever was dancing naked on-stage. (She was such a beauty.) Anyway, the usual thick crowd of dudes surrounded her as she was bending-over spreading her pussy, opening her legs, etc. Suddenly she stops and tells the crowd to back up and part in the middle, as if she needed space or was suddenly going to get off the stage and walk directly into and among us crowd of dudes. Or something. I'm watching this from all the way in the back of the room because there were so many dudes crowded around her and I've seen her do this plenty of times. Dudes immediately complied, yelling, "Back up! Back up!" And "Make a part! Move! Make a part!" It takes a few moments. When it's done, to her liking, she yells out to me all the way in the back and motions with her finger that she wanted me to come up front. I do. Then she went back to bending over and spreading her legs and pussy etc. Yo, she made the crowd back up and part a line just for me; even though I didn't ask her or need it. So cool of her. We didn't ever talk about it, but I think she truly enjoyed the way I used to look at her. I was such a fanboy for her and she appreciated it. And yeah, the crowd was pissed that they just parted and made space for me. But they didn't want to be too rude to me, especially since she showed special treatment to me at that one moment. Pleasant surprise. Again, I didn't ask for her to do that. I was just way in the back watching, chillin'. It was not necessary for her to do that.

or is there anyone you 'planned' to take with you to an SC, but you just didn't get the chance? one of my bosses asked me. but he suddenly passed away before I could. now i wish i hadn't procrastinated... was gonna take this lesbian couple i knew. but the ONLY spot i wanted to take them closed. woulda been fun tho. an ex-girl asked me to take her, while we were dating. no way. didn't want to be her first, for that.

correction: my first BJ in a stripclub, was actually no condom. can't remember the price but i remember whatever price it was it was almost complimentary. they were trying to build clients. the sex was with a condom. and to answer your 2nd part, could the old days revisit nowadays? most are saying no. but i think there's a sliver of a chance, yes. because: we've done it once, so it was possible, why can't we replicate it? i know times and vibes are different, but what else can i say, it happened at least once, so why can't it ever rebound, even if for a short while? we've seen dancers leave the game and some time later, return. in the stripping dancing world, anything's always possible, right? i've known an SC that burned to the ground. years later, it returned. (of course, it burned down AGAIN. and now it's gone gone.) i've also seen a "quiet" SC disappear from existance. now, suddenly, it's back. still "quiet" though. i think for the old days to come back, the music has to change. more dance music is needed. and camera phones gotta somehow go away. if not go away, be so common that folks don't use them. it'd take time, but IMO, old days can come back. just needs the effort put in.

so, i've been hittin' the strip clubs since the early 90s. IMO, here's what's different, if we're comparing yesteryear with today's strip clubs: *back then, the generally accepted prices for some things were different. if i remember correctly, lap dances around my way were $1.00--PER SONG. just a dollar. (then again, i wasn't visiting any 'fancy' or pricey gentlemen clubs; i hit up the local 'hood spots.) but, again, pocket money back in the early 90's was different. back then, gas was less than a $1.00, itself. and my very first job, in the early 90s, i think i was making $3.25 an hour--as a local teen working at the supermarket. if not less. so, yeah, $1 per song for lapdances in the 'hood stripclubs was par for the times, IMO. i remember in the late 90s watching my drunk friend spend $100 at a stripclub (by the end of the night) and i personally was shocked. until that point, i hadn't known anyone personally who spent $100 at a stripclub by the end of the night. (again, this is just my experience as someone who hit up strip joints, not visiting pricey gentleman clubs). after a few nights where my buddy spent $100 a night at the strip club (by the end of the night), they started giving him his own table. they even made a cake for him when it was his birthday. they found out his birthday. i couldn't believe it. i'd never seen that before. i won't forget that because i was SO jealous. here i was, someone who had gone to strip clubs since the early 90s, yet i take my buddy during the late 90s years later, he spends a total of $100 at like 3 different times at the strip clubs, drunk off his ass, and after that, the club treated him like VIP from thereafter calling him by his first name and what not. i'd been going to strip clubs for years by that point and no one ever noticed me like that. again, this is my experience. because until then, i hadn't spent more than $30 at a stripclub. *back then there were more strip clubs around than today, it feels like. and you'd hear of a 'new' club popping up, more back then. when's the last time you heard of a new club? *back then, the music was different (in the early 90s). the style of music was more dance-oriented. so, back then, IMO, in the early 90s, girls could DANCE. felt like everybody could basically dance. naturally dance. music was more danceable. so, stripper spots felt like a good party. you heard dance music, you saw ladies actually dancing. it visually kept your interests up. *back then, (for me), man, strip clubs were FILLED with people. filled with patrons. i remember nights where it was kinda standing-room only. all the seats were long gone. i miss that. nobody likes crowds. but for some reason, at a strip club, i didn't mind. i loved it because i knew that the dancers didn't just depend on me and me alone to get paid. *back then, (for me) girls would wear more riskier & interesting outfits. i remember one night a girl wearing a c-string. it was like a tiny patch of velcro on her crotch in the front. but her entire ass and entire backside were completely naked and void of any type of clothing or straps or strings, or anything at all. she was giving out lapdances like that. back in the day, for me, there was a point in the 90s where all i saw were g-strings galore. thongs. or my personal favorite, at the 'hood strip clubs i hit up, girls just walking around in thongs only--no top. tiddies out, no bra. it was a different time. i loved it when girls would wear g-strings, but pull their g-string down so half their butt was naked, the other half their butt had the g-string. there was a point where i'd see that all the time. loved it. *back then, it feels like there were more weird strip club gimmicks to attract customers. like foxy-boxing. one 'hood strip club i hit up had a open shower installed on stage and you'd watch the girls shower on-stage. i loved that. and you may think, blah, blah, blah, i've seen showers in the stripclub. um, here's the difference. for some unknown reason, this particular shower strip club was open during daytime hours. so, i'd be there at noon, watching a naked girl taking a shower on-stage. noon on a tuesday. WTF! times were so different back then. i don't know how buinesses like that supported themselves. that strip club only lasted a few months when i discovered it, but before i did, it was around for a little while. also, "lock-door" strip club parties, which i hear started in the 80s. there were still around during the 90s. i kept missing those because i ran outta money by the time they started. and it was like you'd heard it: lock-door party, where the management would lock the doors so noone else could come in and it's whatever going on inside. gosh, so much could go wrong with that. today's times wouldn't much stand for that. another strip club in the 'hood literally advertised they gave BJs--because they just opened and figured this was a way to grow clientele. that's how i knew about it and went to see for myself, like "no way!". but they did. i got my first strip club BJ there. i can't remember if i saw the ad online or on a flyer. i remember i didn't hear about it--word of mouth. i remember it was worded either on a flyer or on a flyer in a chat room. i remember the dancer that gave me my first strip club BJ said, "I only do BJs, don't ask for anything else." You could see girls on their knees at the bottom of the closet-sized VIP rooms facing someone's sneakers. i was like "fine! bj is all i want!!". it was a condom BJ and of course, she fucked me after the BJ and she came. i didn't come. i was still weirded out that this was so "open" and so easy. i was used to this being discreet. and not advertised. taken aback to find dancers so cool about it. i just asked the dancer standing next to me at the time, i had just walked in and she willingly went for it like it was nothing. it was so easy. didn't have to buy a drink, no convo with her. so pleasant. of course i went to that spot a bizillion times after that. i know i sound like a dream world. *back then, clubs around here at one point wouldn't close for the night until 6am or 7am--on the weekends. first one stripclub did that. then, they all followed suit. i miss that so much. i remember looking at my watch, it'd be 5:30am and the strip club was absolutely PACKED with people STILL coming in. i'd be leaving, SMH, like there's no way they're closing at 6am today, maybe 7am, too many people inside. *back then, felt like dancers were way more open to giving lapdances in crude places, crude corners, doing risky shit. like today, a dancer is quick to avoid you if you want lapdances in the 'infamous corner' of the club where the perverted customers love to be. back then, dancers would shrug and go for it and give you crazy fun. feels like today's girls can do without it. *back then, there was a strip club that closed at 4am--nightly on the weekdays. weekdays! i miss that so much. sure from like 2-4am, there weren't many patrons or dancers in there, but sure as anything, they'd be open. tuesday, wednesday, monday, thursday, didn't matter, still open until 4am. always put a smile on my face. there'd only be one person in the booth to take your money. and, then one 'security' dude. but he didn't stay inside, he'd stay outside the club sitting in a chair, sometimes talking with other buddies he'd invite who'd have chairs pulled up. so sometimes you are one of the few customers inside the club at 3am on a tuesday and a dancer gives you a lappie and you could just take off all your clothes right there, no need to be in their VIP. loved that. miss that so much. *back then, some 'hood strip clubs i went to had hardcore pornos playing on TV. they'd just pop in a random 8-hour video and let it run. miss that. i don't know why that's disappeared. now it's sportscenter. a good debate is if today there are more girls dancing than yesteryear. offhand, i'd say of course--because there were more SC back then compared to today, there had to be more girls dancing. but i dunno. feels like around the same number of girls. i can't say if they look better today or yesterday. but the vibes are totally different. gosh, back then, you didn't have girls stuck looking at their phones all through their shift. or all the tatoos.

Are the girls wearing 'conservative's 1 piece bathing suits or they showing skins and wearing thongs again?

that's what i'm thinking: sporting a vintage strip club t-shirt would be dope especially in today's climate and/or if it's subtle asf

yep, TheeOSU, that's what made me pause and not by any SC merch. Just paying for something extra/unneccessary at an SC that wasn't a lapdance or drink made me frown. But every once in a blue moon, I'd see some cat in public wearing the dope SC tee that I thought about buying and I'd be envious. Especially now that the spot was permanently closed, I'm kicking myself for not buying their merch, which they had plenty of.

>Will content buying replace “in the flesh” entertainment? (I'm guessing this is the main point / the crux of your post?) My take: No. / I don't think so; and I hope not. Content-buying is only a fad, IMO. And, IMO, the decline by millennials and/or younger generations in visiting strip clubs is directly related to music. So, I feel like things will be dictated by where music goes... And I've said it/this before. IMO, when strip clubs had its heyday, it was helped by the fact that folks back then, didn't have the easy, 'free, unlimited access' to music--like we do today. Today, we have quick, easy access to music on YouTube and Pandora, hell, we have music on our cellphones, etc. (So, to me), in its heyday, strip clubs were a place where dancers also showcased the music of the day. That's why MTV, VH1 rose in popularity when they did--because they also showcased music of the day, when we didn't collectively have quick, easy, goto platforms that showcased music; i.e. cellphones with music on it. So, we were all drawn to the music as much as we were drawn to dancers, etc. Back then, you paid $15 for an album, let's say, for the new Poison rock album or new Van Halen or Salt-N-Pepa album, then you'd also goto the stripclub and see your favorite dancer maybe dance to those fresh tunes. It was worth paying that back then and interesting to watch--on an average night to see someone perform to a song that you just heard and/or just bought. Because there were no other platforms for that--or that combined the two, like there is today. Yo, today, anyone can listen to their favorite songs on YouTube over and over, for free. Then watch people make crazy dances to it on TikTok. Anywhere you look, soon as a song comes out, there are challenge dances on YouTube. What used to take time--weeks to months for a song to come out and your dancer to work it into her routine, now all that comes out in a single afternoon. Drake leaks a song on the internet that he just made, within an hour you may find all kinds of TikTok dances to it, whatever. What used to take time for stripclubs to do/ or to build up to, now comes instantly for free on social media, the internet, whatever. So, there's no need for anyone in the younger generation to goto a stripclub or a regular club for that matter. They get music for free anyways and get bombarded by music anyway. Just our older generations had to wait. So, this is just a fad to me; content-buying. Something else will come along and make what's going on now, old. I will continue to believe, that if anyone makes it suddenly harder to get access to today's music, you will then suddenly see a rise in clubs, and a rise in stripclubs, just to be around music. To me, this content-buying is just the latest shiny thing, a new unexplored nook, that once it gets fully played with, folks will move on. We have content-buying now with other things like folks just buying Disney+ instead of having cable TV with 100 channels. But this just buying Disney+ thing, will not be around forever; something will one-up it. Content-buying is part of our evolution, but IMO, it'll be just another chapter in the story. I hope.

i should walk away. and let their website be what it is. and hey: there aren't any postings by any of my fellow old crew staffmembers, back when i was there. it's all postings from the last 5 yrs only. website only 5 yrs old. but it's low-key annoying knowing a spot where you used to run things has a new generation on it, boasting claims like they're not in anyone's shadow but yeah, i'd be the only person from the dinosaur age trying to flex on their website, if i post

what would you like to see in a strip club scrapbook?

Right. That's why I wonder were they really out to harm or rob me. But they were tailing me.

When stuff like this happens, I wonder why folks get upset over it, or points it out. It doesn't bother me at all if she or anyone ever feels this way. Is it jealousy that makes people get upset? Jealous because said person isn't in a position like this athlete is? It's actually kinda cool we live in a land where this athlete can do such a thing, freely

Yep. Been to at least 2 different dancers apartments. Probably just me, but the overall air of sexiness dropped for me as soon as I stepped into their homes. If that makes any sense. Like VIP rooms can make you feel randy. Randiness can drop a notch or two, once you're in her actual home... Dancer #2's home was messy and I kept feeling like I heard someone roaming upstairs. She kept claiming we were home alone, tho.

I'd be so disappointed if there was a cover charge. But I'd oddly understand lol

George Zimmerman

My answer depends: am I paying or nah? If it's free, air dance If I'm paying, fugly

and let's not pretend here, i'm aware folks gonna have opinions on juneteeth. but it's "new" holiday shit. give it many, many, many years before it becomes what it's supposed to truly be. for now, it's gonna be what it's gonna be and i'm happy with it good or bad since you gotta start somewhere. but let's not kid ourselves. no way this holiday is gonna be defined correctly anytime soon. we may not see it in our lifetime. but i'm glad it's here.

Saying what I said above, though, I don't know if those who initially followed the Confederacy when it occurred would feel 'happy' to see so many confederate monuments or confederate worship today/ decades & centuries later. I think that's different. I think many of them would be embarrassed to see the confederate worship today. I look at it like, playing in a high school state championship game and losing. You'd be kinda embarrassed that people put up statues of your losing team everywhere. LOL. You'd be like, "nah, we lost. we're good without the statues, everywhere thanks."

I hope it becomes popular, in a good way. I understand folks have their criticisms about making this a federal holiday. Right now, I just can't see any negatives about it. I remember finding out about Juneteenth way back when I did. So to see it as a holiday today blows my mind. Unpopular opinion here, but I don't agree when folks say, "...if MLK was alive today, he wouldn't want a statue of him or a holiday for him..." What? How do you know? LOL. Before MLK was assassinated, he wasn't as 'popular' as he is today. Especially with his views towards The Vietnam War, etc. So, that's all he remembers before his death. For him to see a statue in D.C. honoring him and a federal holiday, I think a part of him would smile. And it's like folks forget, his wife Coretta was also behind the push for the national holiday for him. MLK's fraternity was also behind the push for putting a memorial statue of him in DC. I had to interview once a group of folks who a generation ago, let's say started a local revolution of sorts. I showed them the current leaders of that revolution who weren't exactly or always the same like-minded folks visually or intellectually but everyone was still upholding the same revolution. The founders were smiling. They told me they thought their revolution would die when they left campus and graduated. The couldn't believe 20, 25, 30 yrs later, their revolution on campus is still around and still being fought and preserved. I think folks forget that we all as people can be insecure and think our ideas and deeds go unnnoticed or will die with us or not continue. I'd think MLK would smile today, in a way. I think he'd remember the late 60s and how some folks felt about him at that point and would smile on the low to see a statue of him in DC today with a national holiday and respect around the world 50 years after he passed. You know, it's like: if you were to travel to 100 years from now and see that your family name is still around. Sure, there were instances of alcholism and bad years along the way to those 100 years, and blah blah, but your family name is still around and you see family members who slightly look like you and are in professional fields like yours 100 years from now. c'mon, you'd smile.

I'll add this wasn't recent. This occurred somewhere in the early 2000s when SCs around here were in their heyday. It seemed these gaggle of lesbians (I like that, thanks Warrior15) had heard about this SC and were checking it out as a group on their way somewhere or returning from somewhere or just as a group night out and they kept returning on and off for a season. it's just that before i witnessed this, it hadn't crossed my mind. then i saw it and started wondering, why aren't gaggles of lesbians regularly doing this more? why hadn't i seen this before until this happened? i hate to say it but it was your stereotypical butch lesbians with their stereotypical haircuts and stereotypical street clothes. so until it happened and disappered, it hadn't crossed my mind that they should be in here at the SCs more often, I guess, in groups, I guess, but they're not. I wonder why?

and yes, of course, every once in a while i'll catch a probable lesbian alone at the SC enjoying herself but i don't see ever groups like i did that were exclusively keeping to themsselves, save for that one brief season it just kept happening and then suddenly stopped. and yes, of course i've seen chicks hanging out at the SC, who were there to have fun. again, this was different. i saw butch lesbians and they kept visiting on-and-off for about a season. and then poof, no more....

i remember hearing once, years ago, that it's possible one day trannies would fight their way into dancing at SC where women dance...and we'd have to get used to it. wow. i hope not. and i wonder, how come lesbians aren't out here patronizing SCs more in groups?

good thread. i mentioned once, when i randomly saw 2 dancers outside the club, that happened to be chilling where i worked at, it was so weird seeing them in street clothes, because in street clothes, OTC, just these 2 dancers were the exact opposite of their SC personas. one chick looked super studious-chic in her street clothes. real sharp, neatly dressed and she was well-spoken and eloquent, OTC. Where in the club she's non-chatty and just rocks a simple, standard SC wear. In street clothes, she looked bookish-chic. Like she could handle the topic of any subject. Even Russian Literature or whatever. She NEVER looks like a nerd. Because she's not in any way. She's sexy 24/7 no matter what she wears. But she just looked really, extra chic, OTC. If fashion-nerd was a thing. I guess what I'm saying is in the club she dresses younger than she is. OTC, she dresses her exact age and she still looked hot. And she's still young. You definitely wouldn'tve guessed she was a dancer, OTC. The other chic, in the club dresses hot and sexy always and comes across smart in the club. She always has a quick response to anything. Seemed really quick-witted in the club. But outside, wow, she came off very, very dim, when you spoke to her and her street clothes were thrown together. Seemed like her street clothes were her true, real personality: unorganized and whatever. It's like OTC, she simply didn't know how to act. But in the club was her stage and she could act...

>I assume the left will also blame this on white-supremacy Papi_Chulo, you seem like a cool dude, but what's up with a comment like this This is just a sad case all around. Let's just leave it at that. Keep in mind the football player is only 18 years old and the deceased victim is 40 years old. Sometimes, I really think there is a generation gap where one generation simply doesn't understand and/or underestimates the actions of the other generation. And TUSCL posters, we don't know how this sitcho (situation) went down. Depending on your news source; some details are added some are not. I don't know what happened. Don't quote me, please, but after reading one source I was IMAGINING that it went down loosely like this (or not): (again don't quote me) 40 year old dude made up a fake profile as "Angie" then lured dudes over. Once dudes came to the apartment, 40 year old wasn't dressed up as Angie, but dressed up as himself just to check the guy out to make sure he could loosely get away with it. 40 year old makes up a story that Angie does indeed live there and he's her roommate and she's definitely interested. He tells 18 yr old to come back later, Angie will be there and she's crazy into doing blowjobs. 18 yr old returns expecting to see Angie, instead it's the 40 year old dressed up as Angie and immediately gives 18 yr old a BJ. Somewhere in the middle of said BJ, 18 year old suddenly realizes this is the the same dude who he briefly met earlier. And 18 yr old gets violent. The 18 yr old is wrong in this case to take it to murder and the 40 yr old is wrong too. It's just a sad case all around. Again, I don't know what happened specifically at all. It's interesting to note his teammates support him; that's a "nice" gesture... And this 18-year old football player for now has the support of many of his teammates, I read...
