Went to BT’s Saturday night 2/1/14 around 11:00 p.m. Cover was $15 although it’s supposed to normally be $10 – door guy said it was $15 on this night b/c they were showing the UFC fight – I don’t give a f*** about the UFC fight and definitely do not want to pay extra cover b/c they are showing it. I paid the cover b/c I had not been to BT’s in at least 5 years or more and I had it mind to check it out. I just had a small bottle of water (~8 oz) and it was $5. Parking in this area of South Miami is kind of tricky especially if one is used to plentiful free parking. BT’s is in a crowded area w/ many restaurants and bars. The entrance to the club is in the back per se - although one can see the club from US-1; the entrance to the club is not on the US-1 side but on the next tiny street parallel to US-1. If you are coming from Kendal Dr (SW 88 st) as I was; the club will be on one’s right. One needs to go just past the club and make a right on the very 1st street past the club and then make an immediate right on a tiny, narrow, one way street that almost looks like an alley. Once you make a right on this tiny street; the entrance to the club is on your right – the clubs entrance is the same one as for a restaurant that is right next to the club. I believe the first parking lot one sees is for the restaurant and one needs to go down a little driveway on one’s slight left in order to find the parking lot for the club (it’s a bit tricky if one is not familiar with the area). I think I saw a sign that said BT’s free valet parking but I’m not sure about the parking situation since I inadvertently parked some place else which did not belong to the club. I actually parked in a small parking lot on the US-1 side thinking the entrance to the club was on US-1 – where was a bagel place that was closed at this time of night right next to this little parking lot – there was also a restaurant or bar where I thought the entrance to the club was on US-1 – so I imagine this small parking lot was for that restaurant/bar (which was open when I arrived at 11;00 p.m.) and for the bagel place when it’s open. I parked there for free but was not sure if I was supposed/able to park there and was a bit nervous my car would get towed. I was only planning to stay at the club about an hour or so b/c I just wanted to check it out – ended up leaving about 12:45 and thankfully my car was still there. If you make a right when coming from SW 88st, and keep going (i.e. do not make another right as I mentioned above) and go down to the 2nd right I believe; there is a municipal multi-story parking garage there – IDK about the hours or fee for the parking garage but just FYI. I will break up this review into 3 sections so you can skip a section you may not be interested in: I) Club Layout II) Dancers III) Conclusion I) CLUB LAYOUT: ---------------------- I had not been to BT’s in a long time – I may have been there once maybe 5+ years ago and really did not recall the club layout when I was there on this Saturday evening. I’m not exactly a bear for detail when it comes to a club’s layout and I’m also not one to walk around memorizing every detail of the club; so I’ll do the best I can in terms of layout. When one walks into the main room; the 1st bar is slight-right and the main stage slight left. The 1st bar is good sized rectangular bar with a stage in the middle which is the secondary stage. The main stage is a few feet away from the bar and is good sized oval shaped stage (narrow and longish). The main stage is pretty low and has easy access to the dancers. The main stage has two poles and on this Sat. night there were 2 dancers on the main stage at a time and one dancer in the secondary stage encircled by the 1st bar. From what I recall; there is seating near the main stage but not necessarily at the stage – did not really notice too much stage tipping going on. There is a 2nd smaller bar all the way to the left against the club’s side wall as one walks into the main room. The club is smallish but not necessarily tiny; but is def on the smaller rather than bigger end. Club is pretty nicely appointed; not upscale/plush but not a dive either IMO – slight right of center towards upscale. For some reason I really can’t recall what type of music they were playing but it did not seem like hardcore rap; just can’t recall. Music level did not seem too high and I was able to have a conversation with the dancers. The lap dance area is just past/behind the 1st bar as one walks into the main room. It consists of two rows of open cubicles facing each other and about 5 cubicles per row and it’s pretty dark (at least it was on this night). There is a dance counter employee manning the entrance of the LD room and sometimes he’ll walk the room to check who is dancing. The LD room is a bit small and cramped and feels crowded when a few couples are in there since there is little space for walking in b/w the two rows of cubicles. II) DANCERS: ---------------- Most of the dancers on this night were the typical Miami SC scene – i.e. seemed most of the dancers were Hispanic and mostly Cuban. It was hard to tell; but I’d guesstimate there may have been about 30 dancers on this eve (there seemed to be enough dancers for the size club and size crowd). I thought the dancers were attractive and on par with Tootsies for those familiar w/ the popular Tootsies. Girls were attractive and pretty friendly. Most of the dancers were meaty; typical of Cuban dancers (meaty thighs and pretty good-sized rear-ends); but I did not see what I would consider any fatties or any dancers that would make me want to run for the exits. A la Tootsies; many dancers were enhanced in the boob area although the boobs looked nice for them being implants (I’m a naturalist but the boob jobs I saw looked good and more towards natural rather than super-fake looking). The girls seemed friendly and not very aggressive asking for dances. Dances are the Miami standard $25/song. I got dances from two darkish girls since although I am a gringo-looking pale white Hispanic guy; I am actually into black dancers. My first dancer was a tall, slim, mixed race girl – she said she was half-black half-Japanese – didn’t really see too much Japanese in her but she did look mixed with something. She was pretty tall, at least 5”8; slender; light skinned; small waist; flat stomach; long slender but not skinny legs – her best asset was her boobs – some very firm either large natural Bs or small Cs which were super firm and nice to squeeze – her face was not anything to write home about but I’m mainly into the bod and a nice face is just a nice extra and not a requirement for me. Her dances were ok but nothing I would go back for – no stick shifting and no titty sucking; ok grinding but not that great (she kinda avoided my torpedo for most of the two dances I got from her). I then got dances from another mixed black girl – this one said she was a mix of Belgian and black (I think she told me her mom was a white Belgian and her dad a black from Martinique) – she said she was raised in Belgium. She definitely had an odd accent and did not seem like the typical American chick – so I tend to believe what she told me w.r.t. her heritage. She was not necessarily my type b/c she had fake tits that did not look or feel very good and did not have a very curvy body and big ass like many a black woman which happens to be my preference. But this 2nd dancer had a cool personality and the whole time she was talking to me while I was at the bar she was grabbing my junk. I was wearing my patented SC attire of thin black sweatpants and no underwear – so her hand on my missile felt good since there was nothing b/w the missile and her hand except the thin sweatpants fabric – and she was not just touching it; she was grabbing w/ gusto and she said she loved to touch and loved dick. I got 2 dances from her but they were actually tamer than I thought given her treatment while we were at the bar. Like the 1st dancer; she did not really grind on my torpedo as I like and tended to avoid sitting on it – but she did do ample stick-shifting over the pants (I’ve heard a lot of the cars in Europe are stickshift so I guess that is where her talent may come from :)). I went back to the bar after 2 dances with the 2nd dancer and she stayed with me for another 20 or 30 minutes talking and constantly grabbing and stroking my junk over the pants which I did not mind :). After 20 or 30 minutes she asked if I wanted so more dances and I told her I had to go - I tipped her a 20 for her “attentions” while we were sitting at the bar and bailed. III) CONCLUSION: --------------------- I probably will not return to BT’s but I do recommend the club – let me explain the dichotomy. As I mentioned earlier; although I am a pale white Hispanic guy; I am into black dancers because I love their natural curves (big round asses; small waists; thick legs; etc) and I love their aggressive dancing/grinding. BT’s is mostly Hispanic (Cuban) dancers (and clientele btw) – so it’s not really my thing/type-of-club since I like black dancers – but the club is nice and I thought the dancers were all attractive – so I would recommend it for those that like attractive Hispanic dancers a la Tootsies. The only drawbacks IMO: + club is a bit smallish but it was not super crowded where one could barely even walk + Per my experience; the lap dances were low-mileage and on the tame side – perhaps there were more “outgoing” dancers that I did not get a chance to sample – but the vibe I got; and the dances I got; were one of a low-mileage club (although I believe there is a private VIP room(s) where “extra service” may perhaps be had – but IDK the club well enough to know the going rate and if the girls deliver w.r.t. “extra attention”) + there is also a tip-parade which I f’ing hate – I don’t mind spending $$$ in a club or tipping – but I like to do it on my own terms (i.e. spend and tip on the dancers I want – not on every dancer) – and not only does one have the girls that just finished their stage-set walking around asking for a tip; you have others hustling asking you for tips trying to make you think that they just got off stage; basically asking you for a tip just because – in these tip-parade types of clubs; I’ll usually tip for the first 1/2 hour I’m there and then get frustrated and stop tipping every girl and just tip the ones that interest me + not much diversity – in some previous reviews; I heard the reviewer talking about some black dancers and that is the main reason I went to check out the club – but alas; I only saw two “semi-black” dancers which were actually mixed and did not necessarily have the stacked brickhouse black bodies/figures I like – I “think” I may have seen two white/Caucasian dancers leaving in street clothes soon after I arrived (additionally I think I may have seen a pretty but very slender white blond girl with a nice figure but small boobs) + female customers – I saw a few female customers and IME and IMO often times clubs that have female customers are more of a party club and low-mileage club than a hardcore strip club As I previously mentioned – if you are into pretty good-looking Latinas a la Tootsies; then you may like this club. The club is also pretty laid back and not much of a thug/low-class clientele.

Visited Showgirls on Friday 1/17/14 around 11:00 p.m. and stayed `till about 1:00 a.m. – parking was free - cover was $6 – and had a Heineken for $6. Every customer is required to show their ID irrespective of how old one is or looks – the club scans one’s drivers license - I’ve heard of a few clubs around the country that do this; but this is the only club in So. FL that does this as far as I know. I’ll split up this review into 3 sections so you can skip a section that does not interest you: I) Club Layout II) Dancers III) Conclusion CLUB LAYOUT; ---------------------- I live in the northern end of Miami-Dade county & I don’t get to this club as often as other clubs – so I’ll try to describe the layout as best as I can based on the fact I’m not a regular at this club. Club has a good amount of parking – there is a paved parking lot that is avg sized but is often filled on busy Fr/Sat nights although one can usually find a spot on other nights – and there is a separate gravel/grass parking area – b/w the two one should be able to find a place to park and parking is free except for a very few reserved spaces. The club is pretty good sized – it’s not huge a la Tootsies in Miami but I would put it more on the bigger than smaller side. There is a main bar to one’s left as soon as one walks in. The bar is rectangular shaped with sitting on all sides expect the narrow side opposite to where one walks into the main room (that side seems to be used for waitresses walking up to place their orders). The main stage is located immediately to one’s right as soon as they walk in. On most nights; there are two girls dancing on the main stage (each dancer does two songs) and dancers dance full-nude on stage. The main bar’s bar-top is used as a second stage – i.e. after the dancer does two songs on the main stage; they go to the bar and do an additional song on the main bar’s bar-top. Some dancers will walk/dance the length of the bar-top and full-nude and I find it to be a nice angle to check out the beaver. In the past; I found most dancers when dancing their 2nd song on the bar-top would walk the length of the bar-top; but on this visit; I noticed most dancers just standing near the end of the bar-top on the little stairs that they use to get onto the bar-top – IDK if the dancers did not feel comfortable walking the bar-top and showing us pervs the goods or if they don’t feel it’s worth it b/c most custies either don’t tip them or have their backs to the bar-top checking out the main room and main stage. The rest of the main room consists of small around cocktail tables with pretty comfortable wrap-around chairs for seating. There seems to be a good amount of seating but it can be hard to find an empty table on weekend nights. The lap dance area is against the back wall past the bar- it is open but not necessarily very visible from the main room – there is some privacy but not too much especially since there is a club employee always standing in that section counting the dances/songs and there are also other couples there. There is a VIP room but I’m not exactly sure where it is or how it looks since I’ve never used it in my previous visits - it may be by the LD area but not sure. There is a 2nd room that is kinda separate from the main room – it’s often empty on slow nights – it has a pool table I believe; a bar; a small stage; and another small lap dance area. It seems the 2nd room is used for those that just want to hang, relax, and have a drink. and are not necessarily into the action going on in the main room. I believe the small stage in this room is only used on Fr/Sat nights and not on the slow nights. The lap dance area in this room is often used as overflow when a 2-for-1 is given/announced and there are thus more custies getting dances. The club itself seems a bit dated but not necessarily unpleasant to the eye. It is in decent condition and pretty clean. The club is well lit and there is a bathroom attendant. DANCERS: ---------------- There seemed to be b/w 25 and 30 dancers – kinda hard to know exactly. When I walked in; I noticed they had all the dancers on the two main-room stages (the main stage and the main bar’s bar-top). I counted about 25 but there seemed to also be a few walking around the floor. IDK what the deal was w/ all the dancers being on stage – I don’t recall that being done in my past visits. As I mentioned; I ran into this scenario as soon as I walked in and don’t know what is was about – I “think’ I may have heard the DJ say something about a 3-for-$45 special; but not sure if I heard correctly and in my past visits I had not seen the all the dancers be on stage at the same time nor seen a 3-for-$45 special; so IDK if it’s something new or I just didn’t quite catch on to what was going on. Miami-Dade county has a very very heavy Latin influence – consequently in many clubs especially further north near the city of Miami – the clubs will often be very ethnically un-diverse w/ most clubs either being almost all Latin (dancers & custies) or all black – many Miami clubs have small #s of white dancers and in most clubs most of the dancers are Hispanic. Showgirls has always had a good mix (probably in part b/c it is further away from the city of Miami and its surrounding area is a bit more diverse). Showgirls will often have a good mix of Latin; white; and black dancers (no Asians since Miami-Dade does not seem to have much of an Asian population). I would say most dances are in the 6 to 7 range – hardly any that one would say “how did they allow that to dance here” – there are some lookers but it’s not as if you are going to have neck strain from checking out a plethora of superhot babes. Dancers for the most part are pretty friendly and the dances are normally pretty good two-way contact (I’ve never gotten an air-dance here). CONCLUSION: --------------------- Showgirls is a pretty laid back place – dancers and staff are for the most part friendly and professional – the club seems well managed. The music is not hardcore hip-hop and they seem to play a variety of music. The music is also not at ear-splitting level and one can have a conversation with a dancer. The clientele is sorta middle/working class and is also pretty laid back – thug factor is not too great. Lap dances are $25/song with pretty good contact/mileage. Most clubs tend to have $10 floor/table songs; but I have not really noticed floor/table dances being given at Showgirls. They have 2-for-1 specials (2 songs for $25) a couple of times a night but IDK if they are on some sort of set schedule (i.e. at specific times) or what. They usually have back-to-back 2-for-1 specials; i.e. one can end up getting 4 songs in a row for $50. Overall – I recommend the club and I believe most custies would have a decent time there – whether it does it for you is a personal thing but I would recommend to check it out so you can find out for yourself if it’s up your ally or not. I would recommend you’d check out the club during a Fr or Sat night so you can get a feel for the club at its peak in terms of # of dancers and club vibe – on slow nights (Mo/Tu); the club can be very different and kinda dead – and Fr/Sat nights although busy it’s not necessarily overcrowded nor an unbearable sausage fest. There *are* 2 things about the club which I don’t like: 1) an insidious tip-parade – this is especially bad on weekend nights when there are lot of dancers – not only do you have the dancers that just finished their stage set walking around for tips – but you have some hustlers also coming up to you for tips trying to make you think they just got off stage when they really didn’t – this means you can get hit up for a tip sometimes 3 times in just 1 minute’s time – at the very least with each song lasting ~3 minutes; this means that one can be approached by at least one dancer getting off stage after each song and asking for a tip – at ~3 minutes per song; this can add up to about $20 per hour, and often more; just on the tip-parade shit – it feels like a freaking tax – I don’t mind spending or tipping; but I like to do it on my terms and not the club’s terms (I want to tip and spend on who I want; not on every damn dancer – I’m not freaking wealthy) - I will normally tip every girl for the first 15 or 20 minutes I’m there; but after that I start getting annoyed and will stop tipping every girl and just tip the ones that interest me – but be ready to get some attitude from the dancers you say no to for tips – one even told me “then you should go someplace else” to which I responded “I paid my cover and for a drink …” – and then she just walked away 2) the 2nd thing I don’t necessarily like about Showgirls is the song length – the songs felt a bit short to me and I actually timed them with my cell ph stopwatch and the songs were south of 3.5 minutes (about 3:10 to 3:15 mins long) – the DJ will say something in b/w each song so one can know when a song is ending and a new is starting – part of the problem is that the DJ will start talking at about 3:05 or 3:10 minutes into the song even if the song goes “till about 3:15 or so and often times the dancer will stop dancing as soon as the DJ starts opening his mouth although the song is not technically over yet – I’m not a VIP room kinda guy and like getting a lot of dances from a lot of different dancers - so song length is important to me getting my money’s worth and I personally feel that at $25 a pop; a song should be full length and at least 4 minutes long – at barely over 3 minutes; one feels as if they have gotten just a couple of good grinds b4 the song is already over – I don’t’ think the cost to song-length @ Showgirls is very good value although lately it seems as if most clubs are going to the shorter song length model – IMO this is counter-productive for clubs since I feel I am not getting a good deal and I will thus be less apt to visit a club with short song lengths or I’ll spend less in clubs I visit that have short song lengths – IME I tend to spend more on clubs with either less expensive dances or longer songs b/c I feel I am not getting yipped and getting more/better value for my $$$

Arrived @ Secrets on Wednesday eve 1/8/14 ~10:00 p.m. - $10 cover – no fee for parking (parked on the grassy lot) – had a $6 Heineken. I have reviewed Secrets on several occasions and will not describe the club layout – for club details refer to my August 28, 2013 Secrets review. There were a fair # of cars parked outside when I arrived – thought it would be more crowded inside than it was – it seemed as if a fair # of custies were hanging in the billiard room so main room was not as full – I guesstimate there may have been ~15 dancers. Most dancers looked good IMO – there were some thick ones (my personal preference) and some thin to medium build ones (the non-thick dancers were more towards the medium-build side than skinny – didn’t really notice any skinny sticks and there was a good amount of nice sized titties and asses in the house). Got dances from 3 different dancers: 1) a thick dark skinned girl in her 20s – impressive hourglass figure – small waist; big round thick booty; big round tits; full lips w/ pink lipstick – nice looking long weave down to her waist. Although she was not much of a talker – she had a good demeanor – was friendly – let me touch her a lot and she touched back – got 3 $5 floor dances at the bar and gave her a $20. Her dances were good grind w/ lots of touching on my part but no kitty touching. She was my type physically – sexy dark skin – full lips – big round tits; thick hard thighs; wide hips; and a big round hard booty – all in about a 5”3 frame – all things I like. BUT – as it is often turning out to be the case these days; she was enhanced. The boobs were def enhanced and was obvious to the eye and touch – the butt I’m not so sure but I’m tending to think it was enhanced also. I def prefer my women natural – I absolutely hate fake breasts – and I prefer natural butts although for some reason I am not as turned off about fake butts and have actually grown to like them b/c of the really good grinding I’ve gotten from dancers with fake booties (they use that thing as a weapon). To me *personally* - fake butts are harder to tell and IMO don’t look as bad b/c: + I guess since the breast area is smaller; an implant would take more of the area so most of the breast is made up of the implant – so the breast looks really fake (although some women get small implants and thus the breasts looks more natural) + the butt area is much larger and just has a different constitution than the breasts – subsequently IMO is often harder to tell a fake butt; and IDK much about fake butts; but I hear they are injections rather than implants so it’s kinda a different fakeness when compared to breasts – although I have seen some fake butts that look weird and feel weird (sometimes even hot to the touch) Anyway – I’m thinking this 1st ebony that danced for me had a fake butt to go with her fake boobs – but she was so thick, curvy, and delicious looking that I could not help myself to get some of that – and she put that big booty to use – I wear thin cotton sweat pants and go commando so there is really not too much b/w the dancer and my penis – this thick ebony would grab my hard boner with her buns and squeeze with her powerful thighs giving me a great feeling. 2) the 2nd ebony was a short dark skinned dancer. She was kinda petite – smallish but firm booty – she had pretty, natural; short dark hair very nicely styled (looked like it had some kind of styling gel). She looks like she maybe around 30 but looked very good – her being petite; slim (but not skinny) and a WOC; she did not look old at all. She has been dancing there for a while since I remember her from a while back @ Secrets (a bit before the remodel whenever that was; a year or so ago?). She’s a bit of a hustler and looks pretty smart and looks like she knows how to play the SC game. As soon as she started dancing for me she asked if I wanted to do a VIP – IME hardly any dancer suggests VIP @ Secrets since often times they have a hard enough time just selling the $5 floor dances. She gave a pretty good grind and let me touch all over except the kitty. I passed on the VIP b/c: + I enjoy/prefer getting a lot of good contact dances from a lot of different dancers – I love variety and sampling as many different dancers as I can – so I prefer to spend most of my $$$ sampling different dancers than most of my $$$ on just one dancer + this 2nd ebony gave me a bit of a bad vibe with her hustle – I got the vibe that she was more talk than action – will all my SC experience; I’ve come to follow my gut instinct when it comes to dealing with dancers I *was* tempted to do a VIP w/ her b/c although she was petite (maybe 5”1 or so) and slim (but not skinny); she had some big C-cups that looked pretty big on her b/c of her small frame. Her boobs were really soft and sagged a bit which may be a turnoff for some; but not for me – I prefer them big and a bit saggy to small and firm – her boobs felt great in my hands and I got some really good squeezes of those big chocolate mounds – but what almost made me want to do the VIP w/ her is that she had some really big and thick/fat nipples that were constantly erect – I love really big nipples and wanted to suck those things really bad; but since I had just been there about 15 mins or so; I decided to pass on the VIP. 3) the 3rd ebony was so so. She had some nice full Bs/Cs and a decent bod with some decent hips and booty. I had gone up to the middle stage to tip her but she had her back to me the whole time while I was gabbing her ass and reaching around and grabbing her titties. After she got off stage she made her way towards me at the bar and that is when I noticed her face was a bit off-putting. I generally don’t mind the face not being all that if l like the body; but her face did make an impression on me and not necessarily a positive one – but I was horny and had groped her at the stage; so I accepted her request for some dances. I ended up getting the most dances from her b/c her mileage was pretty high – she was full nude (as the other 2 that gave me floor dances) but she was really really grinding me as if she was dry-fucking me while I squeezed her full/firm Bs/Cs – she seemed to be into it and enjoying it b/c she was grinding w/ gusto. I got 4 dances from her on my stool by the bar and then 3 dances on a low chair next to one of the small round cocktail tables. She intensified her grinding while on me FCG (and fully nude) and was sticking my over-the-pants commando wiener as far into her as she could. I ended up getting a total of 7 songs in a row from her (4 at the bar; 3 at the table on a low chair) and gave her $60 for her efforts which she seemed pleased with – I subsequently noticed that she had left a pretty good sized wet spot in the front of my pants. “Typically” floor dances at Secrets (and most Miami black SCs) are $5 and are full nude with good contact – some dancers will keep their bottoms on when giving contact; and some may give kind of an air dance when giving a full nude $5 dance; but most of them will give good contact and full nude with the $5 floor dances. Dances on low chairs are considered “lap dances” and not floor dances – lap dances are “technically” supposed to be $10 and the dancer is supposed to have her bottoms on – some dancers will charge $10 and keep their bottoms on when grinding on you on a low chair and some will stay nude and just charge you $5 as if it was a floor dance. “Technically” – if the dancer is dancing *on* you; e.g. sitting on you while you are in a chair or sofa; then that is supposed to be a lap dance and not a floor dance and the dancer is “supposed” to have her bottoms on and charge you $10 for the dance – if you are sitting on a chair or sofa and want her to be nude and only charge you $5; “technically” she cannot sit on you and grind you – some clubs and/or dancers enforce this and some don’t. I often choose to get my dances on a bar stool – with these dances the dancer is not *on* you and instead she is standing in front of you with both feet on the floor – this is considered a floor/table dance and not a lap dance and most dancers will be nude and give good contact – and many – especially the taller ones – will still sit/grind on your junk while your are sitting on the stool and they are standing in front of you. As long as she is not riding you while you are sitting on a low chair; it’s considered a $5 floor dance @ Secrets and most Miami black clubs. 4) I mentioned earlier I got dances from 3 different dancers – but there was “almost” a 4th. While I was getting my last couple of dances with dancer #3 at a table; I noticed a super-thick dark skinned dancer at the bar talking to a custie – she had a HUGE ass and really thick thighs (my specialty :)). After I finished with dancer #3; I went back to the bar and thick chocolate came up to me and chatted me up a bit. She told me she remembered me from another club (Kisses; which she said is currently closed but supposedly due to open with new owners?). I remembered her and also recalled in my mind that I had gotten dances from her @ Secrets in the recent past. She was supa thick with a huge thick ass that stuck way out – I sense her ass may have also been enhanced (hard to tell these days what is enhanced and what is naturally blessed; especially when it comes to black women); but that huge booty and those thick thighs were looking delicious. She asked if I wanted some dances and I said yes. I noticed she was a bit “thicker”; actually heavier/a-bit-fatter; than in the past – but I did not mind b/c she was extra thick in the right places (her waist just looked kind of wider than before – i.e. just a big bigger overall) – she had smallish breasts (B-cups); smallish compared to the ample thickness of her lower body but her breasts were full and firm and felt bigger than they looked. She was wearing some sexy-ass tight booty shorts and a cutoff. She started dancing for me at the bar with her back to me – she wasn’t taking anything off so I tried to pull up her booty shorts so I can see and touch that enormous black booty – she pulled down her booty shorts – ok I thought; maybe she is a slow starter (some dancers take their clothes off later in the song – w/e) – then I reached around to feel her boobs and her cut-off top was still in place – I was “proactive” and tried to lift her shirt up; she went ahead and pulled it up and let me feel her nice full B-cups. I leaned back on my stool while she was “dancing” for me and she was barely moving and just barely touching me with one of her big hard buns. I decided to be “proactive” again (since she was not doing much) and I reached around her again to play with her boobs and to my surprise she had pulled down her shirt – I was like wtf? – is this chick not going to take anything off while dancing for me (when full nude floor dances are the norm)? I asked her if she was not going to take off anything and her response was that she didn’t want me to poke her with my penis (since I had a big hard-on and was commando thus making my missile very noticeable) – I said “that’s fine” – I stopped the dance (about 15 to 20 seconds in); gave her the $5 for the song; and said thanks – and she walked away. I do recall that my two previous dances with her on two previous visits a while back were a bit low energy with her not showing too much interest or desire; but at least she had gotten nude. Don’t know what the deal was this time; maybe the weight gain I noticed may have been from recently giving birth and she may not feel like giving contact dances? Anyway – she is dark skinned and thick/meaty with a really thick/big ass and thick thighs with smallish boobs but not really small. She is friendly and smiles a lot and her most distinguishing feature is that she has a big gap b/w her two front upper teeth which is pretty evident since she tends to smile a lot. Just mentioning this in case you go to Secrets so you have this info in mind – not saying that you will get the same crappy dancing I did from her – but something for you to keep in mind in case you run into her and things start going south while getting a dance from her. CONCLUSION: --------------------- In years past; many reviewers complained Secrets was a dump with aggressive rude ghetto dancers and that the place was a dump. The club was remodeled about a year ago (can’t remember exactly when) and the vibe has changed a bit. About 1.5 to 2 years ago; a nearby black club (Angels) had closed and Secrets was very flush w/ dancers but not necessarily great quality IMO. After the remodeling about a year ago; it seems there are fewer dancers but of higher quality both in terms of looks and how they treat the customers. Everyone has different tastes/preferences; but I actually prefer the vibe at Secrets now than the way it was before. There also seems to be less of a thug factor. Overall it feels friendlier and less ghetto than in years past and the dancers are overall of higher quality IMO. I arrived ~10 and left ~11:30 p.m. – the club actually seemed a bit emptier when I left than when I got there – which is often not the norm in many Miami black clubs which often get going past midnight when the thugs show up (even on weeknights). I like the new layout of the club – they now have 3 stages as compared to 1 pre-remodeling. One of the stage is inside the main bar; one in the main room; and one in the billiard room. It seemed as if the dancers were doing 3 song stage sets on this night. The stage inside the bar does not give you access to the dancers; but at least it gives you something to look at if you are sitting at the bar and don’t have a view of the main floor stage. The other 2 stages (main floor; billiard room) are at floor level and with nothing surrounding it which gives you great access to get up close and personal with the dancer on stage. As I mentioned earlier; I like getting a lot of dances from a lot of different dancers; and although I don’t mind spending $$$ to have a good time; I want to get my money’s worth. One big problem in the past in the black SCs has been with cut songs. I have complained about this in many of my reviews and have even talked to management about it at times. And the songs are cut really bad – I don’t mean cut to 3 minutes or even 2.5 minutes – I mean the DJ thinking he is mixing in a South Beach dance club and mixing in a new song 30 seconds into the current song; a minute in; etc. – it’s all over the place – not even consistent. If I am paying per song; I expect to get what I’m paying for by getting a full song or at least the same length per song if they are going to cut it short to 2.5 or 3 mins (not just cut a song whenever – wtf). Well at least the songs were not being cut short on this visit; but IDK if this will be an issue on the weekends when it often occurs more frequently in the black clubs b/c of the party atmosphere. I am a pale white Hispanic guy and 99% of the time I am usually the only white person in the building when I visit a black SC (especially at night) – but there were 2 other white custies there on this night along with a white employee and a Hispanic-looking bartender. Secrets is off a major street (Biscayne-Blvd/US1) and it’s not in too bad a neighborhood (it’s not deep in the hood as some black SCs). The only small negatives on this visit were: + the bartender was very attractive but aloof; as if she didn’t know she was actually working there. The bar has seating on 3 sides with a small stage in the middle – the bar’s cash register is against the wall where there is no seating – but the aloof bartender tended to spend all her time against the back wall (where there are no customers) and because of the stage in the middle of the bar; she can’t really see the custies around the bar very well. You would think as the bartender and an employee; she would at least walk around the bar to see if any custies want anything b/c her view is blocked – but nope – she just stands back there looking at the register with her back to where the custies are sitting and I had to wait 10 minutes before she noticed me (actually she didn’t notice me – the dancer on stage noticed me frustratingly trying to get the bartender’s attention to no avail and it was the dancer who actually had to call the bartender for me). After the bartender gives me my beer (after waiting for like 10 mins for her to finally come to me) and I give her a $20; she is then making her way back to me w/ my change and decides to stop halfway to have a conversation with another employee while I’m standing there waiting for my change – smh. I often get the feeling most of these female bartenders don’t know what the fuck they are doing and are just hired b/c they look good (or at least better than some dude) – but I’d prefer a dude bartending who knows what the fuck he is doing. + Secrets is a smallish club and most of the seating is on bar stools around the bar – most of the stools are pretty comfortable but they have two different types of stools – there are some black wooden ones which are actually better (at least while you are getting dances) b/c they are a bit lower (so the dancer can more easily grind on you) – and they have pegs for your feet – there are some other silver/metallic looking ones that are higher and don’t have foot pegs thus making them more uncomfortable for getting dances. + secrets is very well lit which is good b/c one can get a good view of the dancers – but it’s a bit too well lit for privacy sake – also there are no little hidden corners where one can have a bit more privacy (although there is a pretty private VIP room that is separate from the main room which cost $25 for 30 minutes + what you negotiate w/ the dancer)

I had been to Tootsies earlier on this Monday eve 1/6/14 to watch the FSU/Auburn championship game. After the game I headed to the Mint for some of my favorite chocolate. The Mint was not up to par per my previous visits in the past so I decided to check out Lexx since I had not been in a while (wrote a review of my Mint & Tootsies visits). I have reviewed Lexx in the past so I will not get into the club details – for club details refer to my Lexx review on September 28, 2012. I arrived @ Lexx after midnight; free parking and no cover on this night - nice. I had already drank a couple of beers during my Tootsies and Mint visits so I just ordered a bottle of water for 2 bucks – nice (don’t know if all drinks were on special on this night since $2 water bottles are usually only found during dayshift; normally they are $4 to $5). The club was about 2/3 empty and there were maybe 8 dancers or so that were not doing much circulating. I was approached by 3 dancers in total – 2 of them were nice looking light skinned AAs and one was a dark-skinned AA. The two light skinned AAs were slim but had decent curves – the dark-skinned one was too skinny w/ no curves so I passed on her b/c of this. I used to visit Lexx a lot back in 2010 and 2011 - it’s a mid-sized club where many black clubs tend to be small holes in the wall. I love black women’s bodies and that is the reason I visit black clubs almost exclusively – but I like the thick girls with the big booties and everything else (big titties; thick thighs; wide hips; etc.). Back in the day, there used to be a lot of nice thick chocolate @ Lexx; but over the last year to 18 months or so; it seems the M.O. for dancers @ Lexx are young-looking and slim. Many of them *are* attractive; but that is not my type – I like women that look like women and have women’s bodies – I’m not too attracted to girls that look like they just got out of high school a month ago and have slim bodies with asses smaller than mine and A-cup titties. Like I said they are attractive; they have flat stomachs and barely any fat; but I just like/prefer them curvy w/ big natural tits and big round asses. So most of the dancers @ Lexx are young or very young looking; slim with smallish tits and asses; but attractive. If these are your type of black dancers (slim w/ Caucasian like body types); then you will like the dancers at Lexx. Most of the dancers are also pretty nice attitude wise which cannot be said for many a black club where some dancers can be very rude, ghetto, and pushy – the girls @ Lexx seemed very nice per my previous recent visits – may have to do with the fact they may be youngish & inexperienced and not yet seasoned strip club vets that may have an attitude from years of stripping – or it may have to do with the types of girls they are hiring or management emphasizing treating customers right – which is often not the case at many SCs. CONCLUSION: --------------------- The mood @ Lexx over the recent past has been a pretty laid back one – the dancers are for the most part young or young looking; slim; small in the tits and ass department; but attractive. As in most So. FL black clubs; floor/table dances are $5 full-nude (although some dancers may choose to keep on their bottoms but most take them off). Technically floor/table dances are not lap dances and are supposed to be no contact; but it seems most dancers at Lexx and in most So. FL black SCs will grind on you and let you touch while getting $5 floor/table dances. Of the two light skinned ebonies I mentioned earlier that I got dances from; both of them got full-nude while giving me dances and grinding on me pretty good (I got my dances while sitting on a stool by the bar with the dancer standing in front of me). The first ebony was wearing a full-body fishnet outfit which was sexy but I like bare skin – she gave me the first dance with the outfit on – but by the beginning of the second dance I asked her if she removed her outfit when she danced and she went ahead and removed it – I got 3 $5 dances from her and gave her a $5 tip – if she would not have removed her outfit with the 2nd dance; I probably would have stopped at two and not tipped b/c you should not give a custy a dance while wearing your outfit in a freaking strip club – if you don’t like taking your clothes off then don’t be a dancer/stripper – some of these dancers are either lazy or try to do as little as possible when dancing and will not take off either their outfits or tops unless you ask them. She had her back to me the whole time and grinded on me with her booty and let me feel her B-cups a bit but sometimes she would kinda of put her arms in a way where it made it difficult for me to reach around and grab the boobies. The 2nd ebony was a pretty, light skinned ebony, that looked like someone that could be casted for the Cosby show back in the day. She had very fine features; very well spoken and personable; and good conversationist (not often what I personally find in my black SC visits). She was not the type of black dancer I am used to interacting w/ in the So. FL black SCs and I asked her if she was a Miamian – she said she was from VA and I think that is why she looked and acted different (folks up north seem to be better spoken and more well educated than us in the south). I also got 3 table/floor dances with this 2nd ebony and tipped her a $5. She grinded on me pretty good and let me feel her ass and legs but did not let me touch the boobs. She had some nice B/C cups that looked pretty good-sized on her small slim frame – but when I tried to touch her boobs; she said there was a private room for that (I don’t know if she meant the VIP room which I am not familiar w/ or the $10 lap dance room; but anyway I obliged by her requests and did not try to go for the boobies after my initial attempt). That is one thing that I’ve kinda noticed at Lexx – many dancers do not seem very comfortable with giving a lot of grinding and/or allowing a lot of touching as in other black clubs – IDK if it’s b/c they are young and inexperienced as I have mentioned or what – but I’ve seen a few just giving air dances for the $5 floor dances which is not usually the norm at most black SCs in Miami. Lexx is good sized club and they don’t seem to be charging cover at least on Su-Th (not sure but looks to be the case). The staff and dancers are often friendly. It is not located as deep in the hood as some other black Miami SCs. If you are big time into thick dancers like me; then you may be a bit disappointed although I still have a good time when I visit b/c the girls are attractive and most of them try to please (although I’ve had a few @ Lexx that either did not want to take off their outfits or tops while dancing for me or would give an air/no-contact dance which rarely happens at other black clubs I visit – but still most of them @ Lexx *will* get full nude and give a decent grind). I would recommend this club for you to see for yourself and see if works for you. Forgot one last thing. I usually like to get a lot of dances when I club – so my #1 pet peeve is cut songs. Song cutting IME is often a big issue in black clubs and I always complain about it in my reviews when it happens. I’ve had the issue of cut songs in the past @ Lexx; and I mean ridiculously cut in that the DJ will decide to mix in a new song just 30 seconds into the current song – well at least I did not have this issue @ Lexx on this visit and all the songs seemed full length – I would have gotten a lot more dances on this visit if there had been more dancers and more thick ones.

Went to the Mint late on a Monday eve on 1/6/14 (arrived a bit before midnight). I had been at Tootsies earlier in the eve watching the FSU/Auburn championship game and decided to hit the Mint post-game for some chocolate booty that I love so much. I paid a $10 cover but I’m not sure if I was being charged for parking in the club’s parking lot or for the cover. I normally park down the street b/c in the past to the best of my knowledge one had to pay to park in the club’s parking lot. I originally parked on the street on this visit but as I was stepping out of my car some dude that was leaving said they were towing away cars that were parked on the street. I decided not to take a chance and thus parked in the club’s parking lot. As I went to the front door; I asked the dude at the front door if they were actually towing cars parked on the street and he said no but that it was not good to park down the street – IDK if he said this b/c the street is kinda dark and thus someone can mess w/ your car; or if he said this b/c he was interested in me paying for parking? There is new construction on the street leading to the club so mayyyyybe there may be some issue now with parking there (the new construction seems to be some kind of county government building I believe) - but this was late at night so I don’t know if the dude that told me they were towing cars was talking shit or what (since there were other cars parked there and he himself was parked there prior to leaving as I was arriving). Anyway, I hate having to pay extra if I don’t have to; so I’m not sure if I actually ended up paying for the parking or cover – you may want to enquire at the door w.r.t. parking next time you go in if this is an issue for you (they don’t charge for parking daytime – so daytime is not an issue w.r.t. parking in the club’s parking lot). The club was half full and there were not that many dancers (~10). I’ve kinda noticed this trend recently (last month or two) at the Mint in where the club is not that full and not that many dancers. Even though this was a Mo. night; in the past the Mint had been jumping any night especially around midnight and past – i.e. the club would be full club w/ lots of custies and dancers. So IDK what the deal is but I don’t see the same vibe as of late at the Mint. There are A LOT of clubs in south FL so there is a lot of competition – perhaps with the large # of clubs; the # of dancers may be thinning out on a per club basis? In 2013; I personally know off the following clubs that were newly opened in 2013: + Bella’s Cabaret + Vivid Live + Stiletto + Club 54 + Black Diamonds So these new clubs are in addition to all the ones that existed prior to 2013. So IDK if the dancer talent is getting watered down of if the Mint is going thru a phase in where different clubs are hot/popular at different times and the Mint may be falling out of favor – but IMO; the vibe at the Mint is not the same as it had been in the recent past. I also did not find the talent to be all that on this visit – IMO in the past they had some real hot dancers at the Mint; enough to make your head be on a swivel checking out all the fine ass in the club. There were not that many dancers to begin with on this night and most of the ones I saw def looked like the B-team (no real head turners – I may have seen one that looked nice and thick – thick round booty and nice round titties – but I just saw her once walking around the floor and heading to the dressing room). The rest of the girls were on the thin side and did not really look that good to me overall. CONCLUSION: --------------------- Per my previous experience; the Mint used to be jumping almost any night and always seemed to have some hot dancers that made your head turn and take notice especially on the nightshift. On my last 2 evening visits spaced out about a month; there have been both a reduction in dancer #s and in dancer quality – IMO. I was actually kinda bored on this visit which had rarely ever been the case for me @ the Mint in the past (especially late night). The 2nd stage in the back/2nd room was not even in use – in the past; the 2nd stage seemed to almost always be in use at night (the 2nd stage was removed for a while and then put back in about 2 months ago or so). I love black clubs (b/c of the black dancers) and Mint visits in the past were normally time well spent – but after my last two visits – I may put the Mint on the back burner for a while and check out other black SCs.

Visited Tootsies on Monday eve 1/6/14. Got there around 8:15 p.m. Went there to watch the FSU/Auburn championship game in Tootsies’ large sportsbar named Knockers (great place to watch a game). I have reviewed Tootsies in the past and thus I will not describe the club layout – for club layout details; refer to my October 26, 2012 Tootsies review or the Tootsies website (there is a link to the Tootsies website on the Tootsies’ TUSCL page). Cover on this Mo. eve was $8 – cover on weeknights used to be $6 but went up to $8 in 2014. Cover on weekend eves used to be $10; but may now be higher in 2014 – perhaps $12? Plenty of free parking as always and paid about $7.xx for a Heineken. I SCed a lot in 2013 but have been out of club circulation since early December due to an injury to my arm in early December which required surgery. I had my arm in cast for 2 weeks while I had my stitches; then I had my arm in a sling for another 2 weeks. My arm is still healing and won’t be fully functional ‘till about the June time frame; so this has put a damper on my SCing. Doc said I could stop wearing the arm sling so I decided to hit Tootsies – was not really in the mood to get dances on this night – just wanted to catch the game in a fun atmosphere. Also; although I am a white Hispanic; I prefer black dancers and will do most of my SCing in all-black clubs. Although I got my share of dances in the past at Tootsies (2010; 2011); lately I’ve mainly gone when I want to catch a game and chill for a bit. Tootsies rarely has any black dancers so I rather chill @ Tootsies and then go to a black club to get my dances and the more bang for my buck. I also got a bit fed up with some of the Tootsies dancers; in particular the Cuban mafia they have there of Cuban dancers that are adept at promising you the moon and then giving crappy lap dances. But although I did just watch the game on this night and did not get any LDs; there are a few observations I thought were worth sharing: + as I stated above; cover has gone up for 2014 - $8 for weeknights (where it used to be $6) – weekend eves used to be $10 but I imagine that has gone up as well (maybe $12?) – I believe it is still free cover (and half priced drinks) everyday b4 8:00 p.m. + I actually saw some stunners on this Mo. eve. I left the back sportsbar area a few minutes b4 the end of the game so I could be the crowds out of the parking lot post-game. So I stood near the entrance by where they have a wall of TVs showing the game(s) in order to catch the last few minutes of the game and then bolt. This area near the entrance is also by the entrance to the upstairs VIP. While I was standing there watching the last few minutes of the game; I must have seen at least 5 dancers make their way up there (upstairs VIP) that made my head turn (and for me that is saying a lot since I’m into black dancers mainly). Although I spend $$$ in the SCs; I consider myself a “value consumer” LOL; I like to get the most for the $$$ I am spending. One has to pay $20 to have access to the upstairs VIP seating area and I always thought this was a waste of $$$. Some previous reviewers have mentioned that the hottest chicks tend to hang out in the upstairs VIP – and after I saw those stunners heading up there; there may be something to this theory. I was tempted to head up to the VIP to get some dances from those girls I saw heading up there but I had walked into the club with not too much $$$ since I was not expecting to get any dances – I went to the ATM machine to get enough $$$ to have some fun but they have a new ATM machine at Tootsies and besides the high fees SC ATMs charge; the Tootsies ATM now only allows one to withdraw a max of $200. If I want to have a good time @ Tootsies; it takes more than $200 – as I mentioned earlier; I am a “value SCer" and hate feeling ripped off – I felt bad enough having to pay the rip-off SC ATM fee once; but I was not going to pay it twice in order to get more than $200 (many rip-off SCs try to limit the amount of $$$ one can take out; sometimes to a max of $100; in order to hit up the custy with multiple ATM charges – that shit ain’t for me – I don’t mind spending $$$ but do mind feeling like I’m getting ripped). The ATM I used was the one near the men’s bathroom; there is another ATM near the change/cashier room (kinda behind the stage on the left hand side) and another ATM in the sportsbar (or at least there used to be; I didn’t check this time) – maybe those are the older ATMs which allow more than $200 per transaction or maybe those have been replaced too? Anyway, I was pissed at the $200 max ATM limit and decided not to take any $$$ out – I left the club; when to my bank’s ATM; and then hit a black club for some high mileage booty dances. CONCLUSION: --------------------- It was a Mo. night visit and the club did not seem too full nor was there an avalanche of dancers as on weekend nights (also it is just past the holidays and many may be taking a SC break due to holiday spending?). There was probably 3x to 4x the # of custies in the sportsbar watching the game compared to the main room. Tootsies in in Miami Gardens which is a high AA area; so although most regular Tootsies custies are white; most of the custies in the sportsbar watching sporting events are AA. So often times when there is a sporting event (e.g. good Heat game; etc.); the sportsbar will be full with mostly AA custies which then often leave right away after the game (some will head to black SCs and not hang out @ Tootsies). The talent on the main floor on this night seemed ok – but as I mentioned before – the few head turners I saw seemed to be heading to the upstairs VIP. The girls I noticed heading upstairs def seemed better than the ones I saw milling around the main floor. So if you find yourself on a evening visit and are not wowed by the talent on the main floor; it may be wroth to invest in the upstairs VIP. The upstairs VIP is $20 but I’m not sure if one has to pay the regular cover and then $20 on top of that; or if one can opt for the $20 VIP when coming in and not pay the regular cover on top of it? You should enquire at the front desk when entering the club if you think you may be interested in the upstairs VIP. You should also enquire whether you have to spend all your time in the VIP or if you can go in and out of the upstairs VIP seating area and walk around the main floor (I would think you would but you may want to enquire at the front desk in case this makes a difference for you). One last note w.r.t. Tootsies VIP. It seems lately in certain clubs that have a lot of VIP action; that some of the dancers; especially the hotter ones; may not want to do lap dances and are only interested in the high score champagne rooms. I mention this as a heads up that you may be hit up pretty hard by some of the dancers to do a champagne room and some dancers may not be too thrilled with just giving lap dances – although I don’t really know for sure; this *may* be more of a problem in the VIP area since it seems the hotter dancers “may” hang out there and it being VIP they may assume you have money to spend. Not saying this is the way it is in the upstairs VIP; just something to keep in mind.

It was the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday; I was bored and wanted to kill sometime in a SC. Left the house around 9:30 p.m. and by the end of the night I had hit 7 SCs in total looking for a place to chill. I first went to Pink Pony (Doral); then Booby Trap (Doral); then PTs (Hialeah) and then Stiletto (near MIA) – all places were dead. I know it was a Tu night; but in Miami there is usually some decent action/vibe any night – guess it being just past Black-Friday/Cyber-Monday; dudes were tight on cash? I was not in the mood to be one of a few custies in a SC; I had been SCing a lot in the last few months and was a bit burned out - was just looking for a place on this night that had a decent crowd so I could just blend in and not be constantly approached by dancers. After having gone to 4 different clubs and not gone in b/c of very few cars in the parking lot; I was thinking I may have to call it a night. I was driving up Okeechobee when I passed by “Stonewall Lounge” and noticed there were a decent # of cars parked outside. I have been to Stonewall a couple of times over the years and was aware it is pretty much a dump and a waste of time; but decided to go in and check it out since I had not been in a long time. I spent about 45 mins @ Stonewall which was kinda a waste of time and then headed back to Booby Trap and spent about an hour there (wrote reviews for Stonewall and Booby Trap). My visits to Stonewall and Booby Trap were not too long and decided to go back to PT’s one more time (since I had not been in a while) before I finally called it a night. It was well past midnight by this time and PTs was still pretty much dead as when I had gone by a couple of hours earlier. There seemed to be maybe 15 custies or so and maybe 5 dancers that I could tell. *Per my particular tastes*; the talent @ PT’s can be hit or miss and lately more miss; per my tastes. I am a white Hispanic guy but my weakness is for the chocolate although I do find Latinas also attractive; but ~90% of my SCing is in all-black clubs. I get burned out on the black clubs from time to time; or sometimes I’m just in the mood for Latin booty. I was in the mood for Latin booty on this night and thus the reason I did not hit any black SCs on tonight’s journey. Like some other Latin clubs; PT’s will often have a couple (often 3 or less) black dancers. Often times when I go to a Latin club I will end up getting dances from a black dancer (if they have any) either b/c the Latin talent is not up to my liking or I just could not resist the chocolate. The pickings were small @ PT’s on this evening. There were 2 black girls – one very young one and very slim – she was pretty but not my type – and one older one (30 or so) that was very light skinned and pretty well put together (as many ebonies often are IMO). The older ebony caught my eye - she was a bit thick (in the right places) and a bit older which is my preference (I’m in my early 40s and have always been more attracted to older women even as a young boy). This ebony was very light skinned (def looked like there was some mixing in her background even if it did not come directly from her parents). Ebony had a pretty pronounced accent which appeared to be Jamaican – Jamaican chicks can fuck IMO/IME. So I was sitting on a small loveseat by the restrooms and ebony was on stage by herself – no custies were sitting stage-side nor in the immediate area (the club and the vibe was pretty dead and no one seemed to be spending any $$$). I approached ebony on stage since I could have her all to myself. She was wearing a one-piece suit which was not that sexy but when I approached her she pulled down the top part and also showed me the goods downstairs. She had great tits – either very large Cs or Ds – super-firm and natural (some/many black women are naturally firm) – her tits were nice and round and very nicely/sexily shaped – and to my amazement and pleasant surprise; she had some HUGE gumdrop sized/shaped nipples – those things were HUGE and fat which is a big turn-on for me (that’s why I like black chicks so much – I’m not into the “girl next-door type”; I’m into the freaks). As I was as the stage tipping the ebony; I was feeling all over her great firm big tits and feeling her big nipples – and she proceeded to take one of my hands and rub it against her pussy (she meant business LOL – many Jamaicans are hot like this IME). After tipping and fondling ebony at the stage for a bit; I went back to my seat by the restrooms and about 5 minutes later ebony comes and sits on my FCG while straddling me with her legs – we were sitting on a loveseat and I was playing w/ her beautiful boobs over her top and feeling her ass. She noticed how enamored I was w/ her tits (and she’s probably aware of what she’s working with also) and asked me if I wanted some lap dances so I could suck them – sounded like a good idea to me :). So I pay my one-time $5 to get a wristband that gives me access to the lap dance booths in the back and end up getting about 5 $25 LDs in a row from this hot-ass Jamaican that was not very shy at all. We went at it as if we were lovers but I’ll keep out the details to protect the innocent – but I’ll just say she was more aggressive than I was (again a trait of Jamaican chicks per my experiences). CONCLUSION: --------------------- I’ve reviewed PTs before so I will not get into the details of the club – for club layout details refer to my PTs review on March 6, 2013. The cover on this night was $10 bucks with free parking either at the credit union across the street or down the street (parking at the credit union at night after it’s closed is fine and PT patrons park there all the time and have for years – it is directly across the PT’s entrance and the bouncers outside have a direct view of the credit union parking lot). There is an overflow parking lot about 1/2 block away but I don’t feel comfortable parking there b/c it’s not within view of the club – I either park @ the credit union or on the side of the street. PTs has been there since the 80s when it was call “Treasure Island” fro a long time. It is not necessarily an upscale place nor a dump; it’s middle of the road. Now a days there is a lot of SC competition in So. FL and perhaps PT’s may be getting the short end of the stick when competing w/ the newer clubs. I’ve had nights where I’ve found a lot of good ass; and nights where I could not find anything to my liking. This night was not a good night although it worked out for me personally b/c of my rump with the uninhibited Jamaican w/ the great natural tits – but all in all my last couple of visits to PT’s (see my prev reviews) have been underwhelming.

Bored on a Tuesday night. Decided to try to hit a SC for some “lovin”. Left the house around 9:30 p.m. and ended up driving to 7 different SCs on this night b/c most of them seemed to be dead. It was the 1st Tuesday following black Friday and cyber Monday – so I guess the clubs were dead b/c PLs were tapped out. I first drove to Pink Pony in Doral; then drove by Booby Trap (Doral); then went to PT’s (Hialeah); then Stiletto by MIA – all these places were dead and I didn’t go inside. I had been SCing a lot in the last few months and was a feeling a bit burned out – on this Tu night; I just wanted to be a small fish in a big pond – i.e. wanted to just “hide out” in a crowded SC and kill an hour or two and do some stage tipping and maybe get a LD or 2 from someone that piqued my interest – I was not in the mood to be in a club with only a few PLs and thus have to constantly be turning down half the dancers for dances b/c they didn’t have too many other options – thus why I drove by a couple of places w/o going in b/c they seemed dead. I ended up finally going into Stonewall Lounge of all places. I was driving up Okeechobee towards the Palmetto and noticed there were a decent # of cars parked in front of Stonewall so decided to check it out. Anyone that knows, knows Stonewall does not offer much but I thought I’d check it out anyway since I’ve only visited there a couple of times over the years and had not been there in a pretty long time – I was only @ Stonewall for about 45 minutes and bailed (wrote a review for Stonewall). Decided to drive by Booby Trap (BT) again after Stonewall and this time I decided to go in and check out the scene since I had already been to a whole bunch of clubs tonight looking for a place to just chill for a while. Paid a $10 cover @ BT - plus the $3 to park your own car – and had a $5 bottle of water that was the smallest water bottle I’ve had at a SC. I’ve reviewed BT before so I will not describe the club layout details – for club details; refer to my October 28, 2012 BT review. My 2 previous BT reviews have not been favorable – something has changed in this club but IDK exactly what - I like variety and tend to hit a lot of different clubs so I’m not a regular @ BT and thus not too intimately familiar with the club details. A few things I’ve noticed though: 1) the club does not seem as full as in the past 2) the talent does not seem as good 3) to the best of my knowledge; it was always a $5 cover (mayyyyybe it may have been more on the weekends but pretty sure it was $5 at least on weeknights if I remember correctly) – now it’s a $10 cover every night. So – there have been changes – perhaps new management or management style? Another thing I also noticed on a previous visit was that the songs were being played short (sub 3 minutes) – I did not notice this on this night – don’t know if they don’t do it anymore – of if it’s DJ dependent – or evening dependent (the prev visit where I noticed the songs being played short was a Fr eve and this current visit was a Tu eve). So I get to the club sometime past 11:00 p.m. The club is about half empty but not necessarily dead. The talent was ok but not as good as what I remember from previous visits mostly in early 2013 and before. There were too many young looking slim girls with no tits or ass; they were nice looking; but I like my women looking like women with nice sized tits; ass; hips; and legs (i.e. meaty and thick) – and I actually prefer them a little older (I’m not too attracted to girls that would fit in in a high school) – and the girls with curves on this seemed to be enhanced either in the tits and/or ass (fake/enhanced asses seem to be the latest rage for the hos now a days). Those familiar w/ BT know about the insidious tip parade – seemed worse on this night since there were few custies there – besides the girls getting off stage asking for a tip; it felt as if dancers that I didn’t notice on stage were coming up to me asking for tips (geez – I’m not an ATM). Was approached by a meaty Dominican. I have a soft spot (and a hard spot in my pants) for Dominican chicks. In my *personal* experience; a lot of them can be bitches that want to just take your $$$; but I love their look – DR chicks often have good bodies and pretty faces - DR women have a good mixture of white (Spanish ancestry) and black (African ancestry) – so many DR women will have nice white features (face; nose; lips; etc) and nice black features (nice bods often w/ great booties). I really like and are turned on by the mulata DR chicks b/c they have banging bodies The DR chick that approached me on this night had white skin but was still pretty curvy and meaty. She flirted w/ me at the bar for a while and asked if I wanted a dance. She was pretty attractive (early to mid-20s) – nice dark hair and pretty face – nice meaty legs and meaty butt. We went to the LD room for some $25 lappers and although I normally get at least 2 dances in a row; I only got one dance from her. Although she was attractive and probably most guys would find her attractive; she was not necessarily my type. Although I am a pale white Hispanic; I tend to like the dark chicks. Also, this dancer that I got a dance from had fake tits but they did not look or feel bad – but fake tits are a turnoff for me – I will turn down about 90 to 95% of dancers w/ fake tits that ask me for dances – they need to have an incredible body/ass for me to want to get dances from them in spite of their fake boobs (I did not really notice her boobs were fake when she first approached me). Was then approached by a pretty 22 y/o with olive skin and long straight dark hair almost to her waist. She def looked Dominican but it turns out she was Indian (as in the country of India but born in the U.S. of Indian parents so she spoke perfect English and for all intents and purposes she was American since she spoke and acted American). We chatted for a bit then went for some LDs. I loved her olive skin and her naturally dark nipples (dark nipples are a big turn-on for me and much prefer them over pink ones). She was super-toned like a cheerleader – a bit meaty but not an ounce of fat – had a completely flat stomach – firm and meaty but not thick thighs (i.e. like a tennis player); very firm meaty booty though not huge (but meaty); and smallish (small Bs) but very firm and nicely shaped boobs – she was very attractive and exotic looking IMO. Got 2 or 3 LDs from her and they were pretty good – but again – she was not really my type b/c she was very young and girlish looking and my preference is a bit older and womanly looking. Went back to the bar and a bit later was approached by a pretty tall and thick, naturally tanned, meaty/curvy chick. Don’t remember if I asked her where she was from but she had a Puerto Rican look - she had thick meaty thighs and ass, like Iris Chacon (for those Hispanic dudes that can remember that far back) – her face was avg and def not as attractive as the two previous dancers – and her boobs were enhanced although they were kinda natural looking (not shaped or pointing in an odd direction – they kind of pointed downward like natural boobs). Objectively speaking; she may have been the least attractive dancer of the 3 that approached me; but she was the one that turned me on the most. I love her natural dark tan and her big thick ass and legs – she was my type even if she was not the prettiest one in there. We went to the LD room and I ended up getting 3 or 4 LDs from her. She was into it and our session was more like dry-fucking than just LDs – I think I could smell her cuchie lubrication towards the end of our dances/dry-humping-session. Of the 3 dancers; I enjoyed my dances the most w/ her. After this 3rd dancer I went back to the bar area and scoped out the scene for about another 5 minutes and left b/c I did not really see anything that I really desired or wanted to spend $$$ on. CONCLUSION: --------------------- Booby Trap is ok per *my* tastes; others may find it better b/c the dancers there are not dogs and they may be their type. Having said this; I used to have better/funner visits in the past (2012 and before) and considered the talent better or at least more to my personal taste back then. The club is nicely and appointed and fairly spacious; the talent is pretty decent (no dogs IMO); and the staff is pretty professional – all in all I would recommend you check out the club for yourself and see if it does it for you or not. Some negatives of the club are having to pay $3 to park your own car (paid parking should be optional IMO for those who prefer having their cars parked or prefer parking in choice spots) – and the tip-parade is also a negative since it sometimes feels like (financial) death via a thousand cuts – although every dark cloud has a silver lightning (some see a tip-parade as an opportunity/chance to interact act with many different dancers in the club and also cop a feel for a buck or two – often times you can hook up with a dancer b/c both of you met via the tip parade).

Was bored on a Tuesday night. Although I am a white Hispanic guy; I’m big time into black dancers so ~90% of my SCing is done in all-black clubs. I have been SCing a lot over the last few months and was feeling a bit burned out and wanted to try something different (than a black SC). I am also very attracted to Hispanic women but I rather spend my dancing $$$ on black dancers b/c I am actually more turned on by them and normally get a lot more bang/mileage for my buck w/ black dancers. It was a Tuesday night around ~9:30 p.m. and I first headed to the Latina dancer meca of Pink Pony in Doral. The parking lot was pretty empty. With all the SCing I’ve been doing; I was not necessarily in a huge mood to SC nor spend a lot of $$$. I thought I’d maybe kill an hour or two sitting stageside and tipping and perhaps getting an LD or two if I found something that really piqued my interest. I parked in the Pink Pony parking lot and was debating whether to go in since the parking lot was pretty empty. On this night I was not in the mood to be a big fish in a little pond (i.e. one of just a few PLs) – I just wanted to kind of hide in a crowded SC for a little while and just pass the time w/o having to turn down half the dancers for dances since the club had few PLs. On top of it looking to perhaps not be very busy (which is not what I was looking for) one has to pay to park their own car @ the Pony (in addition to the cover and drinks); plus there is the never-ending tip parade at the Pony. Sitting there in the car @ the Pony parking lot and weighing the pros and cons; decided to bail w/o making any monetary investment to find out if the club was going to work for me or not on this night. [Side Note: I understand about the club needing to make its $$$; but IMO charging patrons for parking their cars themselves is counterproductive – it’s not like the Pony has to lease/rent a separate piece of land for customer parking; they have a huge parking lot attached to the club – a custie debating whether or not to visit the Pony on a particular night may decide not too visit b/c of the higher upfront “speculation” cost – just my 2 centavos] So I started up the jalopy and left the Pony w/o going in and headed north on the Palmetto – as I was going north on the freeway I took a look @ the Booby Trap parking lot and it was half empty (and the parking lot is not really that big). So decided not to get off the freeway and check out the Booby Trap since my last visit there was not all that to begin with. Decided to go check out PT’s not too far away. Again parking lot @ PT’s was pretty empty but I thought I might as well just try it after the 2 no-gos. Parked and went inside. The double doors to the main room entrance are right next to the cashier and they were slightly open – b4 paying; I took a quick peek at the PT’s mainroom and it was deader than George Washington. There was noone on stage and I don’t even recall hearing any music (or it was very low) – I also hardly saw anybody (or any dancers) even sitting around. I told the cashier – “this place is dead” – to which she replied “there are no customers but we have dancers”. I didn’t feel like paying a $10 cover to go inside a dead-ass SC to see if I somehow got lucky and found Ms. Right. I left PT’s w/o going in or paying and headed to Stiletto – had not been there in a while and it’s never been flush w/ dancers on my previous visits; but I’ve had a decent time in my prev visits. Arrived at Stiletto and the parking lot was also pretty empty; but it’s usually been this way in all my prev visits. I park the car @ Stiletto and as I’m walking in; I see a dude walking out and telling the doorman – “what’s going on; there’s no dancers in there” – the doorman replies “there’s a few; they’re just in the private rooms w/ customers” (BS I thought to myself while hearing this) – dude walking out said “yeah but there noone even on stage” as the dude walked to his car to leave – after hearing this; I knew it would be a waste of time to go into Stiletto. So I was 0 for 4 (bad night at the plate). I know it was a Tuesday night – but this is Miami – there seems to always be something going on. Most likely a main culprit was the fact that this was the 1st Tuesday after black Friday (and cyber Monday) – so maybe PLs were tapped out? So I left Stiletto thinking I was going to have to call it a night; but a good PL never gives up. I was driving up Okeechobee road towards the Palmetto and passed the sorry-ass hole in the wall SC Stonewall; this is a small dive w/ big women (and old too). I’m not one to have super high standards/requirements; I just like a certain type which is usually nice and curvy even if the face is not all that – so I “could” possibly make a go of it @ Stonewall. As I drove by Stonewall; I saw there were actually a decent # of cars in the parking lot. I turned on the next street and went around the block back around to Stonewall. As I was looking for a spot to park; a dude comes up to me and says it’s free cover and w/e I want to give him for parking (he stands outside the club and watches the cars). I park the jalopy; give the guy a $5 and walk in. CLUB LAYOUT: ---------------------- Stonewall is a small club. There is a bar on your right against the wall as you walk in - a small one-dancer rectangular stage elevated about 2 feet off the ground; stage has a low wall around it with a rail affixed to the top of the wall – there are chairs around the stage but most people sit at the bar or by the small round cocktail tables surrounding the stage. There is a pool table by the back wall which seems to be often in use. The club is small and dated (looks like it has not changed much in 25 years). There is a tiny lap dance area with room for maybe two or 3 couples max that is kind of open and just a foot away from the bar where most patrons are sitting (i.e. not much privacy). There is also a small VIP room (maybe more than one) which supposedly has a locking door but I’ve never used it. The men’s bathroom is ultra small – 2 people in there cause a traffic jam. It has one urinal and two tiny stalls one of which was out of order and had a small lock on the door. The other stall had a set of swinging doors like the ones one would see at the entrance of a saloon in an old western movie (the stall doors were not very big – they did not reach the floor and went only about 4.5 ft high – just enough to cover you while you sitting down taking a crapper). But worse yet; the stall is soooooo tiny that there’s hardly any space b/w you and the doors while you’re on the toilet – you are barely able to maneuver sitting down or standing up since the stall doors and about a foot in front of the toilet. Anyway – not a very relaxing way to take a dump. DANCERS: ---------------- There were maybe about 8; perhaps 10 dancers at most. Most if not all are the C-team (not one I could really recommend). They were all Latinas (mostly Cuban) and one black (Haitian) chick. They were all mostly thick which I happen to like; but not very impressive in the face. they mostly seemed pretty “mature” (i.e. these were not chicks fresh out of H.S.). There were maybe 3 that caught my eye as a possibility (since the pickings were small): 1) a semi-tall chick with a natural dark tan (Dominican; Puerto Rican; Cuban – not sure) – had a body like Jennifer Lopez – nice thick legs with a meaty booty and smallish boobs – but the face was not J-Lo 2) a thick BBWish white girl – I mentioned earlier all the dancers were Hispanic with one black – but now I recall there was a white/Anglo girl but she looks very much like a thick Cuban chick - I had actually met her @ Stiletto about 6 months back and she had told me she was originally from Minnesota I think – I recall her telling me that hair natural hair color was dirty blond but that she had dyed it black in order to blend in, in Miami – she was a bit on the BBW side but l like/prefer thick voluptuous women and she was that – she has Iris Chacon type thick thighs; wide hips; big ass; and HUGE natural tits (DD at least) – and she is not flabby/sagging at all – she is pretty hard although thick as hell – her tits are definitely impressive though - not only are they big; but they are full; well shaped; and firm 3) the black dancer who was actually Haitian and in her 30s (but did not look old nor haggard as many people of color often don’t) – she had a sexy curvy body; not super curvy/thick like a brickhouse black chick – kinda like a professional dancer’s body (slender and curvy but not skinny) – she has a small curvy waist like a glass Coke bottle and a flat stomach; curvy hips; really nice shapely ass (not hip-hop video huge; but big enough to get my attention); either had pretty large Bs or Cs which HUGE dark areolas (which I f’ing love) and pretty big nipples – she was pretty dark skinned which actually turns me on more – big full lips and an ok face (not one to run away from but not one to write home about) – she also had a nice easy going demeanor and very smooth moist dark skin (like some dark skinned women seem to have) VISIT: -------- I was at the club maybe a total of 45 mins or so. I had gone up to the stage to tip the black dancer during her set – she was very friendly allowing me to feel up on her nice curvy ass and natural tits. I tipped her about 8 bucks while she was on stage while I was feeling her up (her bod felt nice). The dancers @ Stonewall do a tip walk post stage set – the black dancer came up to me after her stage set to thank me for my stage tipping – I felt her up some more and she asked if I wanted some dances. Being the chocolate lover that I am; I said sure. She excused herself and went to the back for about 15 minutes before coming back out an sitting w/; me for a few minutes of chit-chat. We then went for some lap dances at $20 a piece. As I mentioned earlier; the LD area is tiny (like everything else in this club except most of the dancers) and is pretty much open and right next to the bar where most of the patrons are sitting; so not much privacy. The dances I got from the black dancer were pretty good EXCEPT; and a big EXCEPT; the dancers are not allowed to take off their tops or bottoms while dancing for you – say whatttttttt - I thought to myself. I have actually been to this dive 2 or 3 times b4 over the years but didn’t recall this particular aspect (although I had a vague recollection the dances were low mileage but I couldn’t remember the details). Anyway, I know lap dances in Miami are not bottomless; but not topless? – wtf? I don’t know what the deal is with this dive; but it is the only SC in So. FL that I know off where dancers can’t take their tops off during lap dances – smh. Like I said; her dances were pretty good – pretty good grinding and I was able to grab her nice shapely ass and nice soft tits over her soft top – but still; I like/want as much nudity as possible and I get very turned on by looking in addition to touching – and I wanted to stare at her huge areolas and perhaps partake in some breast feeding. I got 2 dances from the black dancer although 1 would have been enough under these aggravating no topless conditions. I got a 2nd dance from her so she could make a little something since I did not see anyone else getting dances from any dancer (and with the stupid club rules; I understand why). I think most of the dancers there try to push the VIP and that is how they make their $$$ - one VIP is probably enough for them (more than one and they are making a nice profit in a dive like that). I asked the black dancer about VIP in the hopes I could get some descent high mileage lap dances that way. I was hoping that a dive like that w/ tiny-ass VIP rooms would maybe charge just $25 for the room or something like that – but nope; black dancer said it was $100 house fee for the room and $200 for her for an hour (which is kinda the going rate in most Miami SCs). I said that was not a good value for me since all I wanted was some good dances – black dancer then replied that I could pay the $100 house fee and then she would only charge me per song we danced instead off charging me for a block of time. I told her I was not going to pay $100 just to be able to get some decent lap dances (plus having to pay her on top) – I told her I liked her and wanted to get dances from her; but told her that the club rules were whack – she nodded her head up and down in agreement and said she understood (me not wanting to pay for VIP just to get some decent dances). I decided I had enough of this place but not enough SCing for the night; so I ended up going back to the Booby Trap and also PT’s (reviews possibly coming) and SCed there some more. As an honorary member of the PL SC society; I ended up visiting 7 clubs in total on this night (but only spent $$$ on 3). CONCLUSION: --------------------- Can’t really say you should check this place out. If you have a thing for older thick Latinas; then it may do something for you; but the only action you’ll get is via VIP and it’s going to run you about 300 smacks. Stonewall is pretty much a dive bar and not a strip club (basically a bar with a few naked women where most of the custies and dancers are sitting back drinking; smoking; and chatting) – and there is a tip parade which is kind of sucks but at least one gets to feel a tit or some ass while the dancer makes her way around the room to you. WARNING – this club has the dancer drink-hustle/rip-off – dancer drinks are a cool (or not so cool) 20 smacks a piece – and any dancer that talks to you for more than a minute will push for a drink b/c either she gets a cut or the club forces them to push the PLs for drinks – but it’s definitely a con this club runs to separate the PLs from their cash by using the dancers to sweet talk you into buying them a drink(s). Also – now that I think about it – that name “Stonewall” sounds kinda of gay for a SC. I think there used to be a famous/infamous gay bar in NYC by that name back in the 70s and/or 80s? And now that I recall – I think this Stonewall in Hialeah used to be a gay bar back in the 80s/90s – maybe that is why it has such sucky rules w.r.t. lap dances and such.

Went to Flavors on black Friday eve around 10:15 p.m. Cover was the usual $5; parking was free; and paid $6 for a Heineken. I have been SCing a lot in the past few months and feeling kind of burned out a bit – but it being a long holiday weekend; I had a lot of time on my hands and was feeling a bit bored on this Fr. eve. I have visited Flavors on several occasions and have written several reviews so I will not describe the club layout – for club layout details refer to my previous Flavors review on January 21, 2013. The club was pretty empty customer wise when I arrived around 10:15; but there appeared to be the usual # of dancers of b/w 10 and 12 or so. The club started picking up customer wise after midnight and was fuller by that time. The dancers on this eve were the usual mix of slim and thick – no real beauties or stunners but none that made me want to run per my tastes. Flavors does seem to hire, or allow to dance; thicker girls that may be on the BBW side. This may be a turnoff for some but not for me since I like thick women. Although some of these BBWish dancers have a few extra pounds on them; they usually have some nice round asses and big natural tits – for me; as long as the tits and ass are big; I don’t mind a few extra pounds – if the gut protrudes farther than the tits; then it’s a no go for me; but if the tits stick out further than the gut; then a few extra pounds does not bother me (I prefer big tits and ass w/ a few extra lbs over skinny w/ no tits or ass). I got a few $5 floor dances with good contact although the dancer did not take her top off on the floor (and did not take off the bottoms either). I also got a few $10 dances in the lap dance room where the dancers take off their tops but keep their bottoms on. The main room seems darker now a days at Flavors and the stage is dark where one cannot really make out the dancer well and kinda just sees her silhouette. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a dancer on stage if one can’t really see her – and on top of that the dancers will do a tip walk after they get off stage asking for a tip – I hate tip parades but on top of that why am I going to tip a dancer if I could barely make her out on stage – smh. I get turned on by looking; so I prefer a decently well lit club where one can well see and check out the dancers; especially when they are on stage. I was telling a dancer that was sitting w/ me that the stage was too dark – I told her that if the dancers were going to be on stage; they might as well make it so one can see them. I told her often times customers will decide to get dances from dancers by seeing them on stage and how they dance. The dancer didn’t seem to get what I was saying (no surprise there) – her only answer was “yeah but if they have lights it makes us hot while we are on stage” – great business sense I thought to myself in that the dancer believes the club should do what is best or more comfortable for the dancers and not what is best for the customer (and what is best for the customer *is* usually what is best for the dancer, and the club, in the end). I can understand some like a club to be darker since this may lead to more hanky panky – but Flavors is not really that type of club and nothing more goes on that a good two-way contact lap dance; so making the club real dark does not really serve any purpose IMO except maybe hiding the unattractiveness of some dancers. They should at least have the main room and in particular the stage well lit; and leave the lap dance room dark; although I would personally prefer a bit better lighting in the LD room and just make it more private from the main room (currently, the LD room is visible from the main room; they should at least put a curtain to separate the two rooms and thus one can get a little privacy). CONCLUSION: --------------------- Flavors is more like a local’s bar than a SC but it does tend to have a fair # of dancers that is adequate for the size of the club and # of customers. I am a white guy that is into black dancers – I am also more about the body than the face - I will often get dances from dancers that have good sized tits and ass even if the face it not all that; but will often not get dances from dancers that don’t have too much tits or ass even if their have pretty faces. So although I do not find the dancers at Flavors great per se; they are good enough per my tastes. Black dancers will also often give one their money’s worth IMO b/c they will grind on you a lot and often allow a lot of touching – b/c of this; Flavors does it for me enough to make me want to visit from time to time and feel like I didn’t waste my time or $$$. If you like an upscale club that has nice aesthetics; Flavors is not the club for you. If you are looking for very good looking dancers; Flavors is not for you (they may have 2 or 3 “good looking” ones on weekend nights but most are avg and some may be below avg depending on one’s tastes). If you are into black dancers then you may enjoy your visit to Flavors – but if you are looking for the white equivalent of black dancers – i.e. black girls with slim bodies and pretty features; Flavors is not for you. The dancers usually give good mileage – dances on the floor are $5 and most dancers will grind on you when giving you $5 floor dances but some wont – and for some reason most dancers will not take off their tops for the $5 dances although I’ve had some that do. IDK why some will take off their tops off for the $5 dances and most wont; but it could be: + they may required to wear pasties and thus cannot be topless on the main floor w/o pasties? + they are just lazy and don’t want to take off their top for a $5 dance + the dancers may not want to take off their top for the $5 dances b/c then the custies may not want to get any $10 lap dances? + the club may not allow the dancers to take off their top off for the $5 dances in order to kinda force the custies to get the $10 dances in the LD room? Dances in the LD room are $10 with good 2-way contact and the dancers are topless with their bottoms on. Some lazy ass dancers will not bother to take off their tops when giving you a $10 dance but most do take it off – for dancers that do not take off their top; I will ask them to and they will usually oblige and if they don’t then I will only get once dance from them and look for a dancer that offers better customer service. Anyway, the only major difference I found on this visit was the fact the club is darker now and a bit too dark for my taste; especially the stage. The music also seems a tad lower. The LD room is small and has a low ceiling and they happen to have a speaker in the LD room – the speaker is affixed to the wall so it’s kinda pretty close to your ears – I’ve let Flavors in the past with my ear drums pulsating from that stupid speaker – I don’t even think that speaker in the LD room is necessary b/c Flavors is a strip club and not a dance club or a freakin concert – I go there to get dances and not to listen to loud ass music that hurts my ears and makes it almost impossible to communicate w/ the dancer just to ask her how many songs we’ve done so far. Anyway, the music in the LD room did not seem as loud this time or I may be becoming hard of hearing.

Got to Secrets around 11:30 p.m. on this Saturday night. Parking was a bit of a challenge since only the space right next to the club belongs to the club – the big vacant lot right next to it does not belong to the club and in some visits in the past I was charged $3 to park in the vacant lot. The vacant lot is now currently occupied with a large tent selling Christmas trees; so no parking there and thus only the small space around the perimeter of the club is available for parking. I couldn’t find a parking space around the perimeter of the club and thus ended up parking in a place that sales plants and is just a bit south down the street on Biscayne just passed the club. The business was of course closed at this time of night and I asked the doorman if it was ok to park there and he said yes – I parked there for free and had no issues 2 hours later when I came out. The cover on this night was 20 smacks – ouch. I personally don’t think a club should charge more than $10 cover; especially a small club; but this seems to be the norm in almost all black Miami SCs particularly on weekend nights. The place was pretty full but not that packed for a Saturday night and not as packed as it has normally been for Secrets over the last 18 months or so particularly after the nearby Angels SC closed up. There were actually a few empty stools around the bar and I was able to grab one. There was a fair # of dancers on this night but not as many dancers as in the recent past. After Angels closed; Secrets had been flush w/ dancers even on dayshift and non-peak evenings (e.g. Mondays, Tuesdays). I SC pretty frequently but I like variety and will rotate among many different clubs – and on the subject of variety I also like getting dances from many different dancers in anyone particular visit; I thus don’t really have a fave or go-to club or dancer. One often gets the skinny per se, or good info on clubs, by either being a regular at the club and interacting w/ the dancers and staff and thus getting pertinent info or by having a fave dancer @ a club that one can feel comfortable asking details about the club and its operations. It seems that Secrets is, or has gone, thru a transformation. Secrets was, and was described in older reviews; as a dump with very bad/old décor and not very good looking dancers that were often rude and pushy. One good thing about the old Secrets was that if you wanted attention; many dancers would come up to you unlike some clubs where you could be unconscious in your seat and no one would notice. I mention the points in the 2 paragraphs above b/c Secrets has seemed to change not only in the physical aspect of the club but vibe wise also. Being that I am not necessarily a regular but do visit from time to time; and I don’t’ necessarily interact with the staff and/or dancers; I can’t quite definitively say that Secrets has a new business model but it seems that way: + As I’ve mentioned in a previous Secrets review; Secrets was remodeled a few months back and is now more pleasing to the eye but not necessarily upscale + it also appears to me that the changes were not just in the décor; but the overall club – it seems to me the dancers are less in # but higher in quality – dancers are more attractive; most dancers do not look or act hood (no gangsta looking tats or gold teeth; they are friendly and professional; they are well spoken; etc.); dancers also look and smell fresh and are well made up face/makeup, hair, and costume, wise + the staff also seems friendlier and more professional than in the past So it appears to me Secrets is trying to step up its game with its physical club remodeling and dancer and staff hiring. It appears to me Secrets is exercising hiring standards when it comes to whom they hire both dancer and staff wise. I also notice a difference in the clientele – it is still predominantly AA but it is not as hood/gangsta looking as in the past. Many of the AAs I saw on this night were well dressed and well behaved – they looked middle class and not thuggish. I even saw about 6 other white dudes besides myself on this visit which is rare – often times when I visit black SCs, in particular at night; I am often the only whitey there (I think I saw 3 white dudes by themselves in addition to a group of 3 young white guys – IMO this further illustrates the point about Secrets being less hood these days). Another improvement I saw @ Secrets on this visit was the DJ not being super-annoying nor counterproductive. I SC a lot and most of my visits are to black SCs and my #1 pet peeve with some black SCs is them not seeming to know, or at least follow the rules; in particular that each song should be the same length. In many black SCs, in particular at night; the DJ acts as if he was in a dance club or block party and will cut and mix songs all over the place dealing to situations where you may get and pay for some songs as short as 30 seconds and overall song lengths varying all over the place. This is unacceptable IMO – if I am paying for a song; I should get a full song’s worth – now if I was just hanging out at the club and not buying dances; it would not be an issue of course – but if am paying for a song; I should get what I pay for and for some reason some black clubs don’t seem to get that or care. I’ve had this issues of song cutting at Secrets before that has caused me to leave the club with my $$$ and go somewhere else – but at least on this night; although the songs varied a bit in length, at least they were within an acceptable range of 2:45 to 3:15 minutes which is still a bit shorter of what a full song should be which should be 4 minutes and at the very very least 3.5 minutes IMO; but floor dances @ Secrets being only $5 with good 2-way contact; songs in the 3 minute vicinity are adequate. CONCLUSION: --------------------- Secrets seems to be trying to step up its game and go from being a low-tier dive to a more respectable establishment offering better quality of service both from the staff and the dancers. Being that it is such a small club in an old ass building; it cannot be classified as upscale by any means nor would it ever probably be; but it has definitely improved and I would not consider it a dump anymore. As I mentioned earlier, the dancers seem to be less in #s but higher in quality both in terms of looks and how they carry themselves and how they treat and interact w/ customers. It seems Secrets may be employing higher standards w.r.t. its dancers and perhaps this may explain a drop in total #s? Secrets is still the kind of place where dancers will approach you for the most part; which is a good thing compared to some other clubs; but the dancers are not pushy nor rude as they may have been in the past when they approach you and you say no. A downside of the fewer dancer #s is that you may not get approached as much as when there were more dancers; so one may need to be proactive and seek out the dancer you may be interested in or try to get her attention. Also, the fact that the dancers are fewer in #s made it seem, at least on this particular night; that they had to do long ass stage sets – it seemed the dancers danced at 3 different stages and for what seemed 3 or more songs per stage. Some may not like the new changes @ Secrets; and some may; it depends on one’s particular taste. I tend to like the changes although it took me a bit to get used to them from what it used to be – but I like where there is order in a SC and the staff and dancers act more professional; give better service; and the rules are applied and followed – makes it better for everyone involved IMO. One last thing. The only thing that would currently make the club better is if they had a separate LD area. Currently you can really only get dances at your bar stool or the small metal chairs – and the small metal chairs are in the new little seating booths type things which are like little open seating booths that are separated by 4 ft walls with each little seating booth having a small cocktail table and two metal chairs – these little seating booths are each separated by small walls and thus each one has a very very small area that is just big enough to fit the small round cocktail table and the two chairs thus making it pretty tight and uncomfortable to get dances in. The billiard room thus have a bench kinda thing; but it is very narrow/shallow and not very good/comfortable for getting dances besides the fact that it’s currently used for general seating and is often taken up by the loungers that are just hanging out. IMO Secrets would benefit (both the custies and the dancers) from having a separate LD area with some comfortable sofas or chairs that are adequate for dances – and it would need to be enforced by management/security that this area was *only* for dances and not just for sitting and lounging. It would not have to be a very big area since not everyone in the club is getting dances at the same time and one still has the option of getting dances in a stool or metal chair. It seems very few black clubs offer this. Secrets does have a separate private VIP area; but one has to pay $25 every time one wants to go back there – a separate lap dance area just for dances would benefit the customers by them being able to get higher quality dances; and would benefit the dancers in that they may be able to sale more dances and offer a higher lap dance price ($10) on a comfortable sofa while still having the $5 floor dances.

Was bored on a Th eve and did not really feel like SCing; but didn’t want to be cooked up at home. I live in Miami-Dade and do most of my SCing there. I have been SCing a lot as of late and I’m thus a bit burned out w/ my local clubs. Not being that much in the mood for SCing but not wanting to be at home, I decided to hit WPB since I don’t SC there a lot. I visited Flashdance International a bit earlier in the evening but only spent about a 1/2 hour there since it was not happening (wrote a review of Flashdance visit). I am a white Hispanic guy but I’m into black dancers so I decided to hit Sugardaddy’s after l left Flashdance since it’s only a couple of miles up the road on Military. Got to SDs close to midnight on this Thursday eve and there were more cars parked outside than I expected for a weeknight. Don’t know if it’s typically this way on Th nights since it’s closer to the weekend; or just this particular Th night? I did see a barbecue stand outside which I had not noticed on my few prev visits to SDs which have mostly been on weeknights and earlier in the night; so IDK if there was something especial going on w/ the barbecue stand being outside and thus the reason for it being more crowded? Anyway, I parked for free on the side street and paid a $10 cover and got a Heineken for $7. I have reviewed this club in the past so I won’t go into the club details – refer to my previous SDs review on September 29, 2012 for club details. There may have been about 30 customers and this was more than enough to make the club feel pretty full since it is a very very small club with very little seating consisting mostly of 12 or 15 barstools around the bar. There seem to be some small VIP sitting areas on the sides of the club but IDK know how much it is to sit there since I’m not one to pay more for seating; but maybe in this club it would be worth the expense especially when it’s busy and especially if you want to get some dances although IDK if the dance prices are different in these VIP seating areas (dances on the floor are $10 w/ pretty good 2-way contact). There may have been about 12 to 15 dancers on this Th eve which is not bad for this size club. All the dancers were AA; most were young and on the small/slim side (not too many thick ones which is my preference). There was one short (5”1 or 5”2) light skinned mid to late 20s AA that was my type and was the first dancer to approach me. She was pretty thick (pretty thick legs; booty; and D/DDs boobs) – she was curvy and my type and about the only dancer there on this night I would consider thick. I was standing near the men’s bathroom when she approached me and asked if I wanted some dances. I said where since it seemed like all the seats were taken up. She noticed an empty barstool in the corner of the bar by the ladies’ restroom but it was being blocked by some AA dude that was chatting up some other dancer. My dancer asked the AA dude if he could move his stool up a bit so me and her could use the stool behind him for a dance. AA dude had an irritated look in his face as if he had just been asked to donate a kidney or something – like if it was too much to ask of him to move forward just a bit (which he had the room to do) so someone could use the unused/unoccupied stool behind him (rude/uneducated mofo and a big reason why many white customers are reluctant to visit all-black clubs b/c of rude uneducated dudes like this). Anyway AA dude moves up after dancer asks him and we get the nice corner spot for the dance. I got 2 $10 dances from this dancer – they were ok and she was fully nude and I got to play with her big D/DDs – but for some reason the boobs just felt too firm for my liking and not very malleable – could have been that she was naturally very firm or that she may have been originally naturally busty but had some small implants (I’ve noticed some dancers that were naturally busty and still have gotten some small implants in order to enhance the shape or firmness of their breasts). IDK if this was the case w/ this dancer; but I did not enjoy her large boobs as much as I thought I would. Although I like getting dances on bar stools; it was a bit uncomfortable w/ this dancer b/c she was pretty short and thus her butt could not really reach my junk so instead of grinding/sitting on me; her butt would just rub against my junk – the taller AA dancers; especially w/ their high stripper shoes on; are often tall enough to sit on your junk while they are dancing for you and you’re sitting on a stool. Anyway this ebony’s dances were ok and although I liked her body type more than any of the other dancers, I only got 2 dances from her b/c she got greedy and was inconsiderate towards me as her customer. After the 1st song was over; this ebony asks me if I want another song and I said ok; she starts dancing and 10 seconds later she turns around and says she is staring the 3rd. I said to her “but you just started the 2nd one 10 seconds ago” to which she said “yeah but the DJ started a new song”. What happened was that for some reason the DJ started a new song and 10 seconds later restarted another song – don’t know if it was technical difficulties or what although song cutting and switching songs at any time seems typical in many black SCs and that is my #1 pet peeve b/c you end up getting screwed and the dancer trying to charge you for the short/cut song. But this 2nd song was not even what I would consider a cut song where the DJ cuts off at a minute or so; it was literally 10 seconds as if it was some kind of a mess up. So when the dancer tells me she is starting the 3rd song and I protest telling her the previous song was only 10 seconds and her saying “yeah but he started a new one” – I stopped the dances w/ the ebony; paid her for “2” songs although it was really one – and told her I was done. Dancers know better than to charge a customer for a cut song especially one that lasts for 10 seconds which is often what is called a skip song (if a customer is paying full price for a song; he should get a full song’s worth; not part of a song). But broke ass dancers will be greedy. I would have been content w/ getting more dances from her and spending more $$$ on her; but after her BS; that was it – she was blacklisted. She had the body type I like and was the only built that way on this night; so I would have been content to spend most of my $$$ on her and instead I got dances from 4 other dancers. This club does not seem well managed at all and IME many black dives are very very poorly managed thus leading to a poor quality visit for customers especially customers looking to spend. IDK if pasties are required in WPB clubs or in this club; but it seems most of the dancers going on stage did not even bother to take off their tops - even the dancers giving me dances at my stool did not bother to take off their tops when dancing for me (I thought it was a *strip* club). Some of the dancers giving me dances would eventually remove their tops when they felt me feeling over their tops; and at least one I had to ask her if she could remove her top which she did for a bit and subsequently covered her boobs again while dancing for me – wtf? And even when they exposed their boobs while dancing for me, some of them still had their top on and just slid it up to expose the boobs; this was an issue with some of the dancers that wore a 1-piece suit in that they cannot really expose their boobs too easily while they keep their outfits on which some seem to do while dancing for you. I feel this lack of getting totally nude either on stage or when giving dances is another example of the lack of good customer service at this club. Adding to the poor customer service experience, some of the dancers seem to walk the room for tips after their “stage show” (or lack thereof) – it looked like to me they were not even approaching the black dudes there and just approaching me, the white guy, for tips. And pot was being smoked inside that tiny hole in the wall of a club; they were 3 AA dudes within 3 feet of me smoking away – I don’t care for the stuff and to each their own; but that shit should not be allowed to go on inside of a public SC. CONCLUSION: -------------------- I SC a lot and for the last 10 years or so; about 80 to 90% of my SC visits have been to black SCs since I prefer black dancers. So I kind of know what comes with the territory but SDs often falls short of my typical black SC experience. The club is very very small (too small) where it can not only be hard to find a place to sit but also hard to find a place where you can enjoy a LD. And although some of the dancers are nice; many just seem to go thru the motions and not really pay too much attention to providing good dances. On this night; many dancers seemed more preoccupied with dancing by themselves to the music as if it was dance club than paying proper attention to the customers. I’ll probably visit SDs at some point again b/c I like black dancers and l like variety by rotating among different clubs – but I place SDs near the very bottom of my black SCs rotation and will probably just visit in the future every few months when I’m burned out on my other clubs and want to check out the state of affairs at SDs – and most likely I’ll try to visit earlier in the eve when it is less crowded.

Had not SCed since Tu of the previous week and when one SCs regularly; a week+ w/o SCing seems like a long stretch. I had visited FI for the first time Tu of the previous week while I was in the WPB area. It had been a late afternoon visit and I was not that impressed w/ the club as I described in my previous FI review. I am a white Hispanic guy but very much into black dancers. Having read some previous FI reviews where it was mentioned the club turns black in the eves; I decided to visit for the 1st time last Tuesday afternoon thinking there would be at least a couple of black dancers on dayshift but only saw one and we did not make our acquaintance. On this Thursday eve; I was feeling a bit bored and did not want to be at home. I had been SCing a lot lately and was burned out on my regular clubs. l live in Miami-Dade county and do most of my SCing there. I was not in that big a mood to SC; but I did not want to be cooked up in the house; so I figured I’d take the drive out to FI to satisfy my curiosity w.r.t. the state of affairs at FI nightshift. I arrive late a bit after 11:00 p.m. and there were not that many cars in the parking lot. I noticed right away the AA environment by those hanging out in the parking lot and in front of the club. Parking was free and there was a black bouncer standing outside the door collecting a $10 cover (being that the club has a small lobby and cash register looking area; I was kinda surprised one would have to pay a dude standing outside – there was no one at the register inside). Club was dark as usual. To my surprise; there was no one sitting at the bar which is where I usually sit when I SC. Could be b/c the bar stools are kind off in bad shape and tend to kind of lean. The club was fairly empty – maybe 12 custies at most and most AA. There were about 7 dancers or so that I saw and they were all AA except for one that seemed like a short Latina looking that looked pretty decently put together. So as other reviewers have mentioned; the club is black at night which is what I prefer since I like black dancers. However; often times it is typical that white clubs like FI that hire black girls; often hire black girls that are similar in build to white girls; i.e. slim. The AA dancers @ FI on this night where not of my preference since they were slim and/or of average build (avg to small sized asses and boobs). I’m into the thick black dancers with big asses; wide hips; thick legs; and bit natural tits – the dancers @ FI seemed like white black girls (had the attributes/build of small sized white girls – not my thing). I was @ FI for about a half hour waiting in case I saw anything to my liking – but I did not and bailed after a 1/2 hour. Coincidentally; I was not approached to buy a drink the whole 1/2 hour I was sitting at the bar. The bartender was a young AA girl and it could have been she didn’t see me b/c the club is pretty dark and there are poles/columns that are a bit wide and extend from the ceiling down to the bartop and can block the view – also it seems that the few patrons sitting at the bar were on the other side of the bar (I was sitting on the side near the main stage). The vibe at the club on this night was subdued. It was very laid back bordering on the boring. The AA dancers at night seemed as friendly as the white girls I had met in the previous afternoon visit – 2 AA dancers approached me but since they were not my type; I declined dances from them and they were very nice and friendly about it. CONCLUSION: -------------------- Other reviewers have stated the “change in ambience” for the FI nightshift and yes the club does become majority AA. If black dancers are not your thing; no reason to visit FI @ night. I SC a lot and for the last 10 years or so; about 80 to 90% of my SC visits have been to black SCs. Yes it may feel strange especially at first; but I have never had any issues other than dealing w/ some rude black dancers trying to ROB me. As I mentioned; FI on this Th eve was pretty subdued and the dancers seemed friendly. The atmosphere was more subdued than most of the black clubs I visit and that may have to do with the fact FI happens to be a white SC that turns black at night; but it seems to be managed by whities even at night and I’ve often noticed a difference b/w “black” clubs managed by whities and those managed by blacks with the former being more subdued and the latter often being more ghetto. I don’t see myself visiting FI again b/c it does not have the vibe I’m into. As I mentioned I am into thick black dancers that give high contact dances and I did not find this @ FI on this evening.

I’m from Miami and do most of my SCing in Miami-Dade county. I happened to be in the WPB area on a Tuesday afternoon and decided to check out a couple of clubs in the area while I waited for the rush-hour traffic to die down before my long drive back to Miami. I am a white Hispanic guy but I’m mostly into black dancers. I had passed by Sugardaddy’s around 4:30 p.m. to check out its dayshift but I walked in and out since the place was dead and not a dancer in sight. I had read some recent reviews of Flashdance and the mention that it had black dancers especially at night. I like variety and like visiting and checking out different clubs so I thought I’d check out Flashdance since I’d never been. Although the reviews seemed to indicate the club turns more black at night; I thought there may still be a fair # of black dancers during the day. The club is on Purdy Ln very near the SE corner of Purdy and Military. I believe there is a Jack in the Box right on the SE corner of Purdy/Military and the club is right past the Jack in the Box. The side of the club facing Purdy Ln is not the entrance; the actual entrance is on the side of the building facing Military and the parking lot is on the opposite side to Purdy (south side of the building). One needs to drive thru a little driveway type road parallel to the west/Military side of the building in order to get to the parking lot. The entrance of the building is not on the Purdy side but on the west side of the building facing Military. I arrived around 5:00 p.m. and parked for free – the parking lot seemed fair sized and there was plenty of parking available. I went into the club and there was no cover nor anyone at the door. I didn’t walk the club much so I’ll just give a brief description – I imagine other reviewers more familiar w/ the club have given better layout descriptions. As others reviewers have mentioned; the club is very dark – too dark for my tastes. I get turned on by looking and I like a well lit club so I can check out the dancers both near and far and I can take in the scene. I don’t mind if there are certain dark areas in a club for more discreet interaction; but not the whole damn club. I was sitting by the bar on the side near the stage and I could barely make out the dancer even though she was just maybe 12 ft away. The club is mid-sized; not huge but not a hole in the wall. Other reviewers have complained about the décor been dated but being that I go to mostly black dives; I’ve seen much worse. The fact that it was so dark; and I didn’t stay that long; and I didn’t walk around the club much; means I can only give a brief description of the club. There is a small lobby as you walk in – once in the main room; there is a large rectangular bar in the middle of the room w/ bar stools all around. The stage is close to the bar and to the right of the bar as one walks in. The stage is rectangular; good sized; and raised of the floor about 3 ft or so. On the other side of the bar opposite the stage seems to be a bit of an open area with some sofas. I sat by the bar when I walked in. There were not that many custies on this Tu afternoon around 5:00 p.m. – maybe 10 or 12 custies. A little bit after I got there they had all the dancers go on stage when they were announcing a 3 for $30 special. There seemed to be about 10 to 12 dancers; all of them white and one black. A couple of the white girls approached me for the special but I declined. I am not into white girls although I am a pale white and very Anglo looking Hispanic – I am primarily into black dancers, and Latina dancers secondly, although 90% of my LDs are from black dancers. The white dancers @ Flashdance on this afternoon ranged from average to below average; *per my tastes*. I like naturally curvy women (big natural round tits; wide hips; big asses; thick thighs) and thus why I’m physically attracted to black women and secondly Latinas. The white dancers @ Flashdance on this afternoon ranged from some in their early 20s with avg builds but not necessarily curvy; to older ones some of which appeared to have done some hard living. These white dancers ranged from medium builds but not having big tits nor big asses nor any hips; to skinny with no curves either. I was mainly interested in checking out the club to see what it had to offer and was not really to hard up for dances – so it was not too hard to turn down dancers that I was not interested in and thus not spend my $$$ on dancers that were not really my type – but I must give credit to the dancers in that they were very friendly and polite in their approach, and after I said no to their dance requests. I only saw one black dancer on this afternoon. She never approached me so I couldn’t tell much about her looks from afar in this dark ass club. She seemed to be avg build; not skinny but not thick; about medium build and height with smallish natural breasts and avg sized butt from what I could tell. I may have gotten dances from her if she would have approached me b/c I am attracted to the chocolate as I’ve mentioned and IME often times black dancers go above and beyond in the mileage department. I was about to leave when a 30-something MILF approached me for a dance. I said no thanks but she stuck around talking to me at the bar. She was ok looking; she said she was Puerto Rican mixed with Italian and she did have some Latina looks to her with a nice natural tan – she was ok looking but again I’m primarily into the chocolate. I normally don’t like dancers I am not interested in talking to me too long b/c I feel I’m getting cockblocked from other dancers I’d rather get dances from. But there was really nothing else that interested me in the club; I was there primarily to just to check out the club for the 1st time; and was also killing some time waiting for the rush hour to pass so I can be on my long drive back to Miami. This dancer had some decent conversational skills and seemed pretty experienced at what she did. So I didn’t mind her convo nor did I really want it; but … As we are talking, she starts grabbing my dick. I wear thin cotton sweat pants when I SC and I go commando; so mr. johnson is very sensitive and responsive to the touch. Pretty soon the baby had woken up. The dancer asks me if we can move to one of the sofas “not to get any dances but to talk some more” as she put it – I did mention she seemed experienced at her game LOL. We sit at the sofa and chit chat a little bit while she it grabbing away at my johnson and getting it bigger and harder. She then asks me if I’d ever been there b4 and I say no and then she says “let me give you the rundown …”. She starts off telling me about the rooms and I just cut her off telling her I never do rooms and only get dances to which she says “ok it’s $25/dance” and as soon as a new song starts she begins to dance for me (w/o me really asking for one but I guess by now a dance was already implied LOL). She was short – probably ~5”1 or 5”2 (I tend to like shorter women) – had fairly big enhanced boobs (maybe Cs that looked kinda big on her small frame but not huge) – I don’t like fake boobs but hers were not too bad; they were not super-hard nor looked super-fake. She was on the slim side though not skinny – was kinda straight in the hips; and kinda of an avg butt (more on the small side butt wise). Her LD consisted of her being on me some RCG and mostly FCG – but she didn’t move too much not was necessarily to naughty. It was an ok dance but nothing that really got my juices going. She stopped after the 1st dance and did not ask me if I wanted more. Before the dance when we were speaking by the bar; she had mentioned she needed to call her babysitter @ 6:00 p.m. to check on her child (she said she only had 1 boy around 12 y/o) – so IDK if her stopping after 1 song was b/c she needed to go call her babysitter; or if she lost interest in me when I mentioned prior to the dance that I never did private rooms. So I pay the dancer her $25 and head back to the bar where I sit for another 5 minutes or so and then bail since the dancer talent at this club, at least in this afternoon, was not to my particular preference. If one is into skinny average looking white chicks with pretty pleasant attitudes; then this club, at least per my afternoon visit; may be for them – the atmosphere at the club also seemed pretty laid back. I SC in WPB from time to time; but being that I am into chocolate; if I visit Flashdance again, it will most likely be in the evening when the club supposedly turns more chocolate.

Visited Trap Lounge on a Tuesday evening around 10:00 p.m. I had been in WPB in the late afternoon and dropped into 3 clubs while I was in the area just to check out the scene. These were all late afternoon visits and the vibe in those clubs wasn’t happening and thus I didn’t get hardly any dances at all on those visits (I visited Sugardaddy’s; Flashdance International; and Flavors – and wrote reviews for all 3). Since I didn’t get my SC fill from my earlier afternoon visits; I decided to hit the Trap at night. I like black dancers and I like variety; thus I tend to hit all the black SCs in So. FL and I will hit some more frequently than others. I don’t visit the Trap too often. The Trap is more of a neighborhood watering hole than a SC. My couple of visits in the past to the Trap have mostly been on Fr or Sat nights and it has been a laid back bar atmosphere even on those nights w/ maybe 20 to 25 customers max and maybe 7 or 8 dancers max. On this Tu eve, there may have been maybe 12 to 15 customers and about 5 dancers. I’ve never paid a cover at the Trap nor parking and a Heineken was $6 if I remember correctly. Unlike most black Miami SCs where floor dances are usually $5; floor dances at the Trap are $10 and are usually given while you sit on a stool by the bar. The dances are fully nude and w/ good two-way contact. I believe the dancers need to pay the house $3 per dance they give. Keeping w/ the theme of the Trap being more of a small local bar than a SC; there is no DJ – music is from a jukebox and it’s $1/song. I actually prefer to have a jukebox than a DJ. I find DJs annoying and in some black clubs they are so annoying I will often leave b/c of the DJ. My issues w/ DJs in some black clubs are: + the DJ thinks *he* is the center of attention and not the dancers – just shut up and play the damn songs is what I think – I didn’t come to hear/listen-to you – I came b/c of the girls + DJ thinks he is in a dance club and wants to show off his DJ skillz by mixing songs as if he was in a dance club or a block party – the DJ will cut off songs WHENEVER (30 seconds into a song; a minute into a song; etc.) and thus you end paying for 30 second songs and in a 2-minute stretch you could have gone thru, and paid for, 4 freaking songs. + with the DJ thinking *he* is the party; he may often just stop the music in the middle of a song just so he can talk shit over the mic; or he will not play music in b/w songs so he can talk his shit and thus you and the dancer just have to sit there and wait until he decides to stop talking and decides to resume the music so you can get your dances Because of the above; I don’t mind having a jukebox instead of a DJ at a SC; and I actually prefer it. One downside to a jukebox is that there are times when no one puts money in the box and you will have a pause b4 someone puts money in (if I’m in the middle of getting dances; sometimes I’ll give my dancer 2 or 3 bucks to put in the box so I can continue getting dances). An advantage of the jukebox is that it plays FULL songs ALL THE TIME and the songs seem very long. As I mentioned, the Trap is more of a small local bar than a flashy SC – in fact the only thing that it has in common w/ a SC is that they are a few naked women giving floor dances. The club is fairly small but doesn’t necessarily feel cramped since I’ve never seen it too full. Although it is one big basically, it’s kind of divided into two areas. The 1st area which is by the entrance is where the pool table is. There is one pool table and there are usually a few guys playing pool and other dudes just hanging there. The 2nd area is the bar area. It is a pretty big rectangular bar w/ bar stool sitting on all 4 sides and w/ a small rectangular stage in the middle-of/inside the bar. On my previous Fr/Sat night Trap visits; there always seemed to be a dancer on stage but on this Tu eve the stage was empty/unused more times than not. The dancers will often circulate the bar after getting off stage asking for a tip ($1 should suffice). The Trap Lounge is a dive of dives. This place is old and rickety. That doesn’t necessarily bother me but if you are into aesthetics, this place falls way short. There are no cocktail napkins on the bar nor do they hand you one with your drink; I don’t think napkins exist in this place – and I also have not seen any toilet paper or paper towels in the bathroom – so I IDK what one is supposed to do if ones needs them – talk about a dive of dives LOL. The dancers, and almost all the clientele; is black. The atmosphere is subdued b/c the Trap does not have the SC party vibe, look, or feel, and many of the patrons seem a bit older and blue collar worker types just passing the time; having a drink; and seeing some titties. w.r.t. the dancers – they are all black – tend to be on the thicker side – and tend to be older. I get the sense many of the dancers at the Trap end up there b/c they may not get hired at most other SCs. It appears to me that many of the Miami black SCs are trying to step up their game from being holes in the walls where any chick would get hired. I notice many of the Miami black SCs having been remodeled in the last couple of years and the dancer talent improving to where it seems they are implementing hiring standards w.r.t. the dancers and not just hiring anybody. It’s been my observation that lately many of the black clubs will have young, slim/petite, dancers, especially at night and may only hire the older and thicker girls for daytime. Many of these young slim dancers are pretty/attractive; but for me I prefer thick dancers and I don’t personally like young and inexperienced dancers. But young; slim, and inexperienced dancers seem to be kind of the M.O. these days at most black SCs especially nightshift. The dancers @ the Trap tend to be older and thicker; i.e. they are women and not girls, as I would describe it. Because they are older and thicker, perhaps with a few extra pounds; they probably would not get hired at many other SCs in the current SC environment. I am big time into black dancers and I prefer them thick and a bit older – so I enjoy the dancers @ the Trap and enjoy the fact they often give very good mileage and they are often a bit more laid back than the young cocky ones in other SCs (having said that; one still needs to be aware some of these dancers can be sharks and some will try to ROB you if you are not paying attention). CONCLUSION: --------------------- I am big time into black dancers and it does not take much for me to be attracted and desire dances from most black dancers especially if they are thick. I also don’t turn down too many black dancers b/c often times they will give plenty of mileage. Because of this, I tend to enjoy myself at the Trap Lounge. If you happen to be more selective w.r.t. dancers; i.e. like them young, or slim; the Trap will not be your place. Also, if lack of aesthetics bothers you, you will not like being in the Trap. The Trap is a laid back place to have a drink and spend some time and get some bar-side dances if one is into thick, a bit older; black dancers that are not necessarily pretty but often curvy in the right places. If one wants the SC vibe with the pumping music; strobing lights; tons of young dancers; etc., then the Trap will be a waste of your time. Also, this club is unlike many Miami black SCs that get going after midnight and go strong ‘till 5:00 a.m. – the Trap being more of a neighborhood bar usually has it’s vibe going by 9 or 10 p.m. and will often close b/w 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. even on Fr/Sat nights.

I live in Miami but was in WPB on this Tuesday afternoon. It had been misting and light showering most of the day so I wanted to avoid the long rush hour drive back to Miami especially with the not so good weather. I am a white Hispanic guy but I am primarily into black dancers. So since I was in WPB; I decided to first visit Sugardaddy’s since I had only visited there before at night and was curious about how their dayshift was. I got to Sugardaddy’s around 4:30 p.m. and there wasn’t a dancer in sight so I walked in and walked right out. I then visited Flashdance International in WPB since I had read in various reviews that the club is pretty black in particular at night. I figured if they had a good # of black dancers at night; then they may have a few in dayshift. I got to Flashdance around 5:00 p.m. and only saw one black dancer. I stayed @ Flashdance for about 30 minutes but there was nothing there to my liking/preference talent wise so I bailed and started my long drive back down to Miami from WBP. I left Flashdance around 5:30 p.m. and the traffic kept getting worse the further south I went on I-95 and the not so good weather only made it worse. I was on I-95 heading southbound and had only made it to northern Broward county in 30 minutes of being on the freeway and the traffic was heavier and slower the further south I headed. I can’t stand being stuck in traffic and prefer to wait it out – so I got off the freeway near northern Broward and headed east to Dixie Hwy and then south on Dixie to make a stop at Flavors. I have visited Flavors on several occasions and have written several reviews so I will not describe the club layout – for club layout details refer to my previous Flavors review on January 21, 2013. I finally arrived at Flavors around 6:15 p.m. – no cover and free parking although I had to park on the side of the building since the small parking lot was full due to the other businesses in the small shopping plaza still being open. I have always visited Flavors at night and had been curious as to how it was during dayshift. Seeing the small parking lot full made me think there may be a decent crowd inside but again the full parking lot was due to the other businesses in the small shopping plaza being open (when ever I’ve visited Flavors in the past; it has been at night when the other businesses have been closed and thus the # of cars in the parking lot at night are a good barometer of the size of the crowed inside the club). I go inside and it’s pretty empty – maybe 4 other customers – but there may have been about 5 or 6 dancers which was pretty good compared to the # of custies. I was approached by one medium build dancer while I was sitting at the bar. She had gotten off stage and came up asking for a tip and then asked if I wanted some dances. Floor dances @ Flavors are $5 per and lap dances in the LD room are $10 per. Some dancers will get nude and grind on you with the $5 floor dances and some will either grind on you but not take anything off or take some clothing off and not grind on you. I often opt for a couple of $5 floor dances and if I like the way the dancer dances then I’ll follow it up with a couple of $10 LDs in the LD room. This first ebony that approached me was dark skinned w/ a medium build (B cups and avg sized booty and legs) and medium height – there was nothing much to her but although I am a pale white Hispanic guy; I am very attracted to the chocolate and will often not turn down a black dancer if she has some meat and some curves on her (will usually turn down the real skinny ones though). So I opt for some floor dances at the bar from this ebony. The songs @ Flavors are usually pretty good in length and not cut short like in many of the Miami black clubs I visit (and I hate that shit) – but I have noticed the songs do seem a bit shorter during the Flavors 3 for $25 “special”. The ebony gives me two floor dances and then stops and tells me it’s $10 – I pay her and although I would have gotten more dances from her – she didn’t ask if I wanted more. I did notice the smell of weed in her breath so she may have been feeling lazy or she just wanted to smoke more weed w/ the 10 bucks she made from me? I was then approached by a tall; slim; light-skinned; very young looking (18 or 19 y/o) ebony that had a pretty face. I prefer the thick girls with big asses; wide hips; thick legs; and big natural tits a plus; and this young ebony did not fall in this category b/c she was slim with A-cups; but she “seemed” friendly and she did have some nice long legs and actually a pretty meaty soft booty. Thin ebony asks me if want some dances and I say I’ll take some floor dances. She gets to work right away after what seemed like a minute or so she turns around and tells me it’s 2 songs. I tell her no way that she has only danced for me like for 1 minute to which she says “yeah but it’s still two songs”. I take out $5 and hand to her and say I am not paying anything more – she refuses to take it and storms off. I don’t mind spending $$$ and normally I’ll spend b/w $200 and $300 in these dives and sometimes will spend $400 or $500 when I am really horny and there are a lot of dancers I want to get dances from – but I do not stand for anyone trying to be slick or ripping me off even if it’s $5. I have zero tolerance for this b/c it happens more than I care for in the black clubs – not saying it’s the norm; but does happen with decent frequency. After my distasteful encounter with the slim ebony; I stay at sitting by the bar another 15 mins or so to see if any other ebonies approached me that I would be interested in; but none did. I don’t think it was b/c of my bad encounter with the slim ebony b/c I’ve had this happen to me before in other club visits and I have still gotten approached. I often get a lot of dances when I visit black clubs and I’m often the one getting the most dances and other dancers notice this and often approach me. Also, some of the other dancers that were there @ Flavors on this visit were just sitting around and did not approach me even prior to the bad encounter I had w/ the slim ebony. I spent about 45 minutes @ the club and then left to get back home to Miami since it was ~7:00 p.m. by now and the traffic had thinned out. CONCLUSION: -------------------- Although I live in Miami; I like to visit all the black SCs in So. FL thus I will hit Flavors from time to time. I’ve visited Flavors quite a few times in the last 3 or 4 years and normally had a good time. But I’ve had run-ins with some dancers in my last 3 visits to Flavors over $$$. Some of these black dancers can be ghetto and broke and will want to get $$$ out of you even if they have to ROB you. I have been visiting all-black clubs for about 10 years now and I stand up for myself when one of these aggressive ghetto ROBs tries to intimidate me w/ her attitude into paying her what she wants – to date I have never paid or overpaid when I feel I’m getting ripped and nothing has come about it even when the ghetto dancer tries to get the manager involved. Some of the dancers in this place don’t seem very happy. To me, it starts at the top. If the dancers are not being treated well by ownership/management, then the dancers will not be happy and they will sometimes take out their unhappiness on the customers. IDK if this is the issue @ Flavors; but some dancers don’t seem happy to be there and act as such. Flavors is of course an all-black club – if you are not into black dancers – no reason to stop by. And if you are looking for very pretty black dancers (i.e. slim with Caucasian features); you will not find it here either. The dancers @ Flavors are avg looking with most of the having medium to thick builds (and they are not necessarily the most refined chicks either). IME, Friday nights are the best in terms of #s of dancers.

I live in Miami and do most of my SCing in Miami-Dade county. I’ve done some SCing in WPB but not much. I happened to be in the West Palm area on a late Tuesday afternoon and I was not to keen on driving back to Miami in the late afternoon having to deal w/ the traffic (plus it had been misting/light-showering most of day making the traffic worse than it’s normal bad self). Although I am a white Hispanic guy; I am mainly into black dancers – thus most of my SCing is done in the various all-black Miami SCs. I have visited Sugardaddy’s on several occasions and have reviewed it before. Since all my Sugardaddy’s visits have been on weeknights, I was curious about the dayshift @ Sugardaddy’s so I decided to stop by on this Tuesday afternoon. I arrived @ ~4:30 p.m. and noticed very few cars in the already very small parking lot. I took this as not a good sign but I’ve come to learn and accept one can’t judge a club by its outward appearance and one just needs to get in there and check it out for themselves. I’ve driven up to clubs where there seemed like there were a good # of cars in the parking lot and once inside the club has been dead – and vise versa driven up to clubs where it seems dead outside and has been better inside. I was actually not expecting much it been an afternoon and it being Tuesday since I’ve never really seen Sugardaddy’s jumping on the weeknights I’ve visited although I’ve had some decent times. As I walk into the club; I notice a young AA girl sitting by the register at the entrance. I was surprised to see anyone there since I would assume it would have been no cover at this time. The AA girl by the register had her nose buried in her cell ph and did not acknowledge me. I actually had to start the dialogue by asking her if there was a cover (since I saw her sitting by the register) – she said no and I proceed to walk inside to only see one AA dude in his late 20s or 30s sitting by himself by the bar browsing his ph (don’t know if he worked there or was a custie?). I did not see another soul in the place – no dancers in sight on stage or anywhere on the floor. I don’t even think I saw anyone behind the bar. I walked past the register at the entrance up to the end of the bar while scoping out the scene (actually lack thereof) and then just turned around and walked out. There might have been a dancer or two in the dressing room; but I did not want to be the only custie in there b/c it would have felt uncomfortable if the dancers in the dressing room (if there were any) were forced to come out b/c I was there and then me turning them down if I did not like them. In some situations I would have stuck around b/c all it takes is one right girl to make one’s visit – but I was in the middle of a 2-day (Monday/Tuesday) 8 SC binge and was not really that hard-up for LDs so I decided not to stick it out @ Sugardaddy’s since my main motivation was just to check out the dayshift scene (I would have stayed if I would have seen a reason(s) to). CONCLUSION: -------------------- I like variety and I like to visit many different SCs and mainly black SCs. Although I live in Miami I have visited all the black SCs in So. FL from Sugardaddy’s in West Palm to Flavors in Pompano to Kisses in the southern end of Miami-Dade county. There are actually 2 new all-black SCs in South FL that have opened up in recent months and that I have not yet visited nor have they been added to TUSCL yet (Club 54 in Lauderhill and Black Diamonds in Miami near Aventura area). Being that I like variety and have hit all the black SCs in So. FL w/ the exception of the newest two; I sometimes get a bit bored w/ the same ole SC scene. To mix it up a bit; in the last couple of months I started visiting my black SCs during dayshift (late afternoons) since often the vibe, and dancers, are a bit different (dayshift -> less dancers; dancers a bit less attractive and a bit older; but mileage and QoS often much better). I’ve had some very good dayshift visits lately in terms of mileage and QoS and that is why I was a bit curious about Sugardaddy’s dayshift. I imagine later in the afternoon (5:30/6:00 ?) there may have been a better vibe @ Sugardaddy’s as more folks got out of work and decided to stop by – I also imagine later in the week (Wed; Th; Fr) dayshift may be better – but on this particular Tu dayshift visit ~4:30; it wasn’t happening.

The 4th SC visit on my 8 SCs two day (Mo, Tu) binge was Take One Lounge. Take One was my last SC visit for Mo after having visited Coco’s and Secrets dayshift and Mint Lounge in the evening. After having left Mint Lounge around 11:30 p.m.; I decided to check out Take One since I had not been there in a while @ night. I last reviewed Take One on August 28, 2013 during a dayshift visit – refer to that review for club layout details. I grew up in Miami but I did not start SCing regularly until I moved away to Dallas in 2000. I lived in Dallas `till end of 2009 when I relocated back to Miami. While living in Dallas I would come down to Miami 2x/year (Summer/Christmas) to visit my family. I became acquainted w/ Take One in the mid to late 2000s and it seemed to be hopping back then both day and night shifts. Once I relocated back to MIA in late 2009, I visited Take One on several occasions mostly during 2010 and 2011 and more often in the late afternoons since this very small SC would get way too packed at night. I guess the SC scene in any city changes w/ time – some clubs manage to stay about the same or improve over time; and some seem to regress. Back in the mid to late 2000s; it seemed Take One had a jumping dayshift with lots of customers and dancers. By 2010/2011, it seemed that at least the Take One dayshift was a lot more tame than it used to be – don’t know if that is due to other clubs becoming more popular; change of management/ownership @ Take One; or what – but Take One dayshift is not what I remember it and in my last dayshift visit to Take One (after a long hiatus) on 08/28/13; there seemed to be about 5 or 6 customers and just 2 dancers. Fast forward to Monday 11/4/13 and I visit Take One again for a nightshift visit after a long nightshift Take One hiatus. This visit was mainly a scouting trip to see what was up w/ the Take One nightshift these days. I have driven by Take One late at night on several occasions and have seen a ton of cars parked all the way up and down 79th street – knowing how small Take One is, I could only imagine how packed it may have been inside. So I arrive on this Mo. eve a bit past 11:30 p.m. The parking lot is almost full and I see red cones even on the side street right next to the parking lot which I assume meant one needed to pay form parking even when parking on the side street. I noticed the red cones on the side street only extended the width of the parking lot; so I parked for free against a fence further down the side street. The cover on this Monday night was $20 – wtf? Last time I came to Take One on a Tuesday eve, they also wanted $20 cover and I walked away w/o going inside. I decided to pay the $20 cover on this night so I could satisfy my curiosity as to how the club was these days during nightshift. I went inside and the club seemed about 3/4 full and I was able to find a seat at the bar right next to the only small stage. I ordered a bottled water for $5. There was an attractive ebony dancer in the stool next to me that said she knew me from before - it’s quite possible since I go to a lot of black SCs and I get dances from many different dancers. I didn’t quite remember her (I’m not too good w/ details) but she did look familiar. Of course the “I know you” dancer line is not uncommon; but since I visit a lot of black clubs; I’ve gotten this line before and after interacting w/ the dancer a bit I then remembered her. This ebony was short (~5”2 or 5”3); dark skinned; pretty face and hair; pretty big and nice natural Cs; ok ass, hips; and legs. Ebony asked me if I wanted a dance – I asked if floor dances were still $5 – she said they were $5 during the day and $10 @ night – I said ok and got 2 tame dances from her at my stool. She seemed to be a bit uncomfortable w/ me touching her and would even cover her boobs with her hands a lot although towards the 2nd song she let me play w/ the boobs a bit more. I cut off the dances w/ this ebony at 2 since they were pretty low mileage. About 10 minutes later I was approached by a very light skinned ebony that also said she knew me (she said she had first met me @ the now closed Angels). I did not remember her as I hardly ever do when a dancer says she knows me – I am not too good with details – I usually just tend to get dances and not really converse too much with the dancers so it’s not like we build a chemistry – I’m about the body and tend to focus on the body and not the face (coincidentally, often times I won’t remember a dancer when she approaches me but will remember her when she gets naked and starts dancing for me) – I go to many different clubs and get dances from a lot of different dancers and it becomes a blur sometimes – women tend to be better w/ details – also it’s probably easier for these black dancers in these black SCs to remember *me* since I am often the only white person in the club (and usually the one getting the most dances); so I stand out. Anyway I am chit chatting a bit with this very light skinned ebony which was actually wearing a blond wig thus making her look almost like a white girl and she tells me her dancer name which kinda rang a bell but I still didn’t remember her – she also had a gold tooth which kinda made her look a bit familiar. As I talked to her more I finally remembered her from Angels and subsequently Mint Lounge. Blondie asked me if I wanted some dances and I said ok – she was pretty attractive and had a nice easy going personality. I got about 10 dances from her on the floor and gave her $100. Her dances were good and she put effort into them and she was not at all shy about being touched as the 1st dancer seemed to be. This had been my 4th SC visit of the day and the vibe at Take One was not really my thing so I decided to call it a night. CONCLUSION: --------------------- I like variety and thus like to visit and rotate among many different SCs (most of them being black SCs). I don’t have a fave or go-to SC nor am I really looking for one. I tend to visit all the black SCs in So. FL from Sugar Daddy’s in West Palm, Flavors in Pompano, to Kisses in So. Miami. I tend to hit all the black SCs from time to time just to check out what is going on w/ them but there are a few that I will visit more often while others I may go months w/o visiting. Although I had had some good times in the past @ Take One and in years past I had seen some very nice talent there; Take One will not be near the top of my rotation and I will most likely visit out of curiosity from time to time (and most likely daytime). Things I don’t like about Take One: + Way too small – probably the smallest black SC in So. FL – besides the few cocktail tables and stools around the bar; there is no other place to sit or get a dance (no VIP; no LD area; etc.) – on busy nights not only you won’t find a seat; one can barely move around nor even find a spot to get a stand-up/wall dance + they seem to section off a big amount of the available parking as a paid parking area + seems the $20 cover is in effect every night (even weeknights) – I don’t mind spending $$$, but $20 cover for a small hole in the wall establishment is too much IMO + I don’t like the vibe – at night if feels more like a dance club than a strip club – I had noticed in months back when I would drive by Take One that there were a lot of cars and I would also notice A LOT of female customers walking into the club – I don’t like SCs w/ a lot of female customers b/c they just go there to hang out and treat the place as if it was a dance club – the female custies don’t buy any dances and just take up space and most of the available sitting and just like to hang and dance w/ each other as if they were in a dance club – lots of young people (too young) – I saw groups of guys and girls customers that looked like they were in high school (seriously) – upon coming into Take One on this night; there was a big group of about 5 girls and 3 guys in front of me that looked like they were sophomores in high school and I guess were trying to “live the life”; they were *all* wearing sunglasses (inside and at night) as if they were trying to make a fashion statement or as if that was the style of their little click – all these young’uns were all very nicely dressed and seemed middle class and not thuggish by any means – it looks like this little crowd has chosen Take One as their little go-to hang out spot and all they do is hang out with themselves and take up all the seats; I didn’t see them tip or buy any dances and I don’t even think they bought any drinks (they def did not look old enough to by any drinks so IDK how they got into the club in the 1st place) – this combination of this young crowd and a lot of chick customers that don’t buy any dances or tip any dancers and seem to be more preoccupied w/ themselves seems to turn Take One into a dance club rather than a strip club where the actual dancers seem to just be sitting on the sidelines b/c most of the customers are just into hanging out and interacting with themselves

I started my two day (Monday/Tuesday) 8 club SC binge by visiting Coco’s and Secrets during dayshift in the late afternoon. After leaving Secrets; I headed home for a shower and some dinner; watched a little TV and out the door I went for some more PL entertainment. My 3rd SC visit on this Monday was an eve visit to Mint Lounge. I arrived at the Mint around 9:30 or 10:00 p.m.; parked on the street for free (there is a charge to park in front off and next to the club at night); and was not charged a cover. Don’t know what the cover charge structure is at the Mint b/c there have been weeknights where I’ve paid $10 and weeknights when they’ve been charging $20 (they may charge more the closer to the weekend?). I rotate among many different clubs and thus I don’t necessarily have a fave or go-to club although I tend to visit the Mint a bit more often. The big friendly bouncer at the entrance is always very cordial and when I asked about the cover for this Monday night he said to go ahead that it was on him. IDK if there was actually no cover on this night or if he was just sincerely cutting me a break – or maybe Mint management has read some of my previous reviews where I’ve complained about having to pay $20 cover on a weeknight – or maybe the bouncer recalled when I went up to entrance about a month ago on a Thursday night and when they told me it was $20 cover I walked away and did not go inside? I don’t mind spending $$$; but I’m just a stickler for paying a fair price and I don’t feel paying 20 bucks to go into a dive is justified; IMO (especially since it’s not BYOB and you still have to buy drinks – plus paying for parking if you want to park in the club’s parking lot vs. the street). So anyway, I parked for free on the street; didn’t pay a cover; and just had a bottled water for $5 since I am not much of a drinker and had drank earlier at my 2 previous SC stops. I have reviewed the Mint on several occasions and will thus not describe the club layout – for club layout details refer to my January 8, 2013 Mint Lounge review. I did notice a layout change at the Mint. As I mentioned in my January 8, 2013 review, the 2nd room had been modified. The 2nd room had had a secondary small stage which was removed and a new “VIP” section was added. The “VIP” was really just one row of 4 or 5 side-by-side open cubicles with high sidewalls so you were not able to see the PL next to you and he couldn’t see you. These cubicles were against the back wall and they had built a new wall in front of the cubicles in order to enclose the “VIP” section. Well – when I was there on Monday eve; I noticed they had removed the wall they had built that enclosed the VIP section – the cubicles are still there; but the wall that was in front of them blocking the view from the rest of the 2nd room area was removed – the cubicles are now basically in an open area. They used to charge $25 to use the “VIP” area and you then negotiated w/ the dancer. Now that the area is open; although I didn’t ask I imagine they would now not charge to use that area since there is no privacy. I imagine that the cubicles can be used to charge for $10 LDs since the benches in the cubicles are low and thus the dancers can give LDs by sitting/grinding on you – all the other sitting in the SC currently consists of high bar stools since the few cocktail tables and low chairs had been removed when they remodeled the 2nd room a while back and added the VIP (dances at the bar stools are considered $5 table/floor dances although one gets plenty of 2-way contact). I also noticed they now added back a small 2nd stage in the 2nd room and this may be the reason they took out the wall in the VIP area (or maybe they just didn’t want the enclosed VIP area anymore to avoid any nefarious behavior)? This new small 2nd stage was not in use when I was there on Monday eve; looks like they were still finishing up the upgrades. Whether they close up the VIP area again when it’s all said and done IDK; but it looks like the VIP area will stay open and a 2nd stage added again. I actually liked when they had a 2nd stage in the back b/c it allowed you to get up close and personal with a dancer since the stage was small and low (the main stage is inside the bar so it doesn’t lend itself for you to go up and get close and personal w/ the dancer). The 2nd stage looked in build like the new stages they added at Secrets. Being a Monday night and kinda of early; the club was about 1/3 full when I arrived. There were a few dudes sitting by the bar on the side closest to the entrance since the TVs on that side were showing Monday Night football. I was able to sit in my new fave little corner by the main bar which is all the way around the bar In the opposite corner to the side where the club entrance is (this is the corner of the bar where the DJ now is). Since this is such a small club; this little corner offers some privacy since there is a wall there (if you are getting some barside table dances; you can turn your stool to face the wall and get a bit of privacy). This little corner is usually taken up but since the club was fairly empty and some of the dudes where sitting on the other side closer to the working TVs; I was able to get my little corner. The Mint is like most Miami black dives that often don’t get going until after 11:00 p.m. or even past midnight; even on weeknights. Although the club started picking up after 11:00 p.m.; the dancers were not circulating and there was even a stretch of 20 minutes or so where there was noone on stage (that is rare for the Mint) – it’s almost as if the girls did not want to work and for some reason and when a girl did get up on stage; it seemed they had to do a lot of songs on stage. I guess they were short on girls or they were expecting more girls later in the eve. Miami clubs usually close at 5:00 a.m. so I’m not sure what the shift changes may be – but I do recall being there on a Monday eve about a month ago and it was jumping (but I did get there around 11:30 p.m. or so on that occasion). Anyway, I only got dances from one skinny brown skinned girl that was not really my type. She had a mouth full of gold teeth (not one or two – but the whole rack). She was also pretty slender and had A-cups and not exactly very pretty but not butt ugly either. She was actually very friendly though. She asked if she could give me a dance and I said sure; noone else had asked and she had been very friendly. To my surprise she had a very nice ass – it was very meaty and soft and she had some very nice wide and meaty hips - I was surprised b/c her upper body; arms; and chest; looked so skinny – but black chicks always seem to have curves some where. She gave me 3 very good UHM dances at my stool which were $5/per – I paid her $25 ($10 tip) and she went on her way. I stayed a bit longer after these dances to see if any other ebony would approach me; but seeing that there was not much action going on in general in the club (hardly any girls circulating asking for dances nor anyone getting dances); I decided to bail. CONCLUSION: -------------------- The Mint often has a good laid back vibe and is why I visit it a bit more often than the rest of the clubs l hit. For some reason it was not really happening on this Monday eve even though the Mint; as with most Miami black dives; is often going on any night of the week with weekend nights more packed of course. I get the feeling if I would have gotten there later and have stayed later; the action would have picked up as it often thus at most Miami black dives even on weeknights. I ended up leaving around 11:30 p.m. and actually headed to a 4th SC on this Monday – I headed to Take One Lounge since I had not been there for nightshift in a very long time.

I was on a 2-day (Monday/Tuesday) SC binge. I had visited Coco’s a bit earlier in the afternoon and then decided to hit Secrets to catch the latter end of the dayshift crew. I got to Secrets on this Monday afternoon around 5:45 or 6:00 p.m. No cover; free parking; and a $3 or $4 Heineken. The club was about 1/3 full so not necessarily dead nor packed either. I didn’t notice a plethora of dancers per se but it wasn’t as if there were barely any – I’d guesstimate there may have been about 7 or 8 dancers. I have reviewed Secrets on several occasions and will not describe the club layout – for club details refer to my August 28, 2013 Secrets review. Secrets had been pretty flush w/ dancers (and customers) over the last 18 months or so ever since the nearby Angels SC closed. Many of the same dancers danced at the 2 clubs and when Angels closed, Secrets became flush w/ dancers and there seemed to be a good lineup even in non-peak times like Monday or Tuesday eves, or dayshift. But a few months back, Secrets was remodeled and it appears to me that the dancer #s after the remodeling have declined. Can’t explain why – but that is my impression. It appears to me that there were many more dancers pre-remodeling than currently – IDK if management has changed the rules for dancers and allowing less dancers to dance; or if dancers are not getting treated right by the club and have thus left to other clubs; or what – but it doesn’t seem to have the same vibe as before. Having said this, I still like hitting Secrets from time to time since I’ve had good times there in the past (plus at $5 per floor dance is at least worth checking out – if you are into black dancers that is). So I got there close to 6:00 p.m. and proceeded to head to the bathroom to empty the tank before I ordered a drink. As I was coming out of the men’s restroom; a tall, long haired (wig), sexy dark skinned dancer walking around topless, was heading toward the lady’s restroom (both restrooms are next to each other) and she tried grabbing me either to get my attention or just say hello. I avoided her grabbing me since I had just gotten there and wanted to check out the scene and didn’t want to get tied down right away. I went to the bar and ordered a Heineken and soon after the same ebony that I ran into when I was coming out of the restroom came over to where I was sitting. She was attractive and friendly so I didn’t mind the company. Instead of just coming up to me and asking for a dance; she sat next to me and started caressing me and carrying a conversation. She was friendly; could carry a convo; was well spoken; and said she was from Norfolk, Virginia and had been heading back and forth b/w Virginia and South Florida for a couple of months. She was also very touchy feely over the pants (over the shorts actually – I was wearing my very thin, very soft, loose athletic shorts which made Mr. johnson very sensitive and reactive to her touch). She seemed a bit more mature and reserved that your average dancer and seemed to want to carry on a conversation. She asked me if we could go and sit by the billiard room area where there were less people so we could talk. We sat in a narrow bench attached to the wall; I bought her a drink and we proceeded to talk for about 15 or 20 minutes. I am usually not one for extended conversations in a SC since I go there to get my grind on from as many different dancers as I find attractive/desirable; but being that I had already been to Coco’s earlier in the afternoon and had got dances there, I was not that hard up and was enjoying my convo with this interesting ebony. In the course of our convo, I found out she was 35 y/o but as with many WOCs, she did not show her age at all. She was also in excellent shape and looked like she took very good care of herself and did not look like she had had a hard life (she did not have any tats nor any markings on her body what so ever and her skin was very smooth; her body was very toned and very firm everywhere with not a sign of any cellulite nor flabbiness in any way). After 15 or 20 minutes of nice convo, she asked if I wanted some dances. Floor dances at Secrets (like most Miami black SCs) are $5 per song and full nude. I got 3 songs from her which were kinda air with some grinding and her getting close to me by pressing her body against me but not riding/grinding on me – although I did get to touch her all over (butt, tits) and she was very firm all over (thighs; butt; breasts). In most Miami black SCs, if you get dances either standing up against the wall (wall dances) or on a stool; that is considered a $5 table dance although the dancer will grind on you while against the wall or on the stool and there is solid two-way contact. But if you are sitting on a low chair; a bench, or sofa; then the dancer is not allowed to sit on you, and thus grind on you, while she is giving you a $5 nude table dance. If you are sitting on a low chair/bench/sofa; one either gets a full nude but no grinding/riding $5 table dance (but you can still touch); or you get a $10 lap dance where the dancer can grind/ride on you but she has to have her bottoms on. I probably would have gotten some grinding from the ebony I was getting dances from if I would have stayed sitting on the bar stool rather than going to the bench seat by the billiard area/room. I often opt to sit by the bar stools when I visit black SCs so I can get some grinding while still only paying $5 per song (although I always tip since $5 per is kinda too low for what you get). I was enjoying my time w/ this ebony; she was very sexy and had a good personality. She was dark-skinned as I had mentioned (I find light skin very pretty but I’m actually more turned on by the dark-skinned ones); she was medium height (~5”6); very very firm either large Bs or Cs (she seemed busty b/c her natural boobs were very firm and perky; and her stomach was flat); she had nice medium thickness thighs which were very hard and muscular; and a very firm/hard/shapely ass – she was well put together and well proportioned. She also had very full lips and a very large long tongue she kept sticking out and moving around suggestively which was a huge turn-on for me. There didn’t seem to be too many dancers on hand and as I had been accustomed to seeing (even during dayshift) prior to the remodeling; so I decided to stick w/ this ebony that I found very sexy and very personable. I proposed to her that we’d go in the VIP in the back and I offered her $80 for about 30 minutes of company/LDs in the back VIP – one needs to pay $25 to the house and then negotiate w/ the dancer. Being that dances at this club are $5/song; most dancers will actually accept $80 for 30 minutes in VIP. I am not an extras guy and just wanted some more privacy w/ this ebony so my $80 proposal was for LDs in the back but we could take it from there. The back VIP area is out of sight from the main room. There is a doorway with a curtain that separates the VIP from the main room. Inside the VIP are about 6 or so individual booths (2 rows of 3 booths that face each other) with each booth having walls on 3 sides all the way up to the ceiling and the front having a curtain. Each booth just has one chair that is a wraparound chair which I hate for getting dances since a dancer cannot easily grind on you FCG style. I actually went out of the floor and got an armless chair and brought it back to the booth for my dances. Although I am not an extras guy; I love having my dick played with. Since I was wearing my very soft, very thin, very loose, athletic shorts, there was easy access to the banana. I won’t get into specifics in order to protect the innocent; but me and ebony became well acquainted during our half-hour VIP get-together and we both had fun and I subsequently tipped her an extra $20 for her fine “company”. CONCLUSION: -------------------- Although my M.O. when I SC is to get many high-mileage dances from many different dancers w/o opting for extras or VIP; this Secrets visit was different in that I opted for VIP and got dances from just one girl. After my VIP rump; I went back to the main room and sat by the bar to see if I saw anything else that piqued my interest but didn’t really see of feel a vibe that made me want to spend more time or $$$ there and thus I bailed. IDK if it’s me; but I just don’t get the same vibe, nor notice the same # of dancers, as I did prior to the club upgrades. Could be that perhaps most of my visits lately have mostly been during weeknights; so maybe it’s much better on weekends – but prior to the club upgrades; if felt as if there were more dancers even on weeknights and even dayshifts.

As I’ve mentioned in other recent reviews; I’ve been SCing A LOT this year and spending a small fortune. I often will feel a bit guilty and/or worried about all the $$$ I’m spending and I’ll tell myself I should stop SCing for a while (2 months or so) in order to let my savings account recover a bit. What ends up happening is that I may not SC for 2 or 3 weeks and then I’ll binge (I’m such a PL :)). My SCing over the last few months has consisted of instances where I’ll SC every week; sometimes multiple times per week; and sometimes even multiple clubs per day/eve; followed by a 2 or 3 week period of inactivity before I repeat the binge cycle again. So – it had been ~2 weeks since I had done any major SCing so based on my recent history I was due for another binge (I’ve noticed the more I SC and when I am going every week or multiple times a week; that if I take a 2 or 3 week period off; it seems like a very long time). So this review of Coco’s visit on a Monday afternoon was the first club visit of a back-to-back two-day assault which resulted in me visiting 8 clubs in two consecutive days (Monday and Tuesday) – although in my PL defense; I visited multiple clubs b/c some of them were dead or not up to my expectations and I thus just moved on w/o spending much time or $$$ in some of them. So I arrived @ Coco’s around 4:30 p.m. on a Monday afternoon. No cover; free parking; had a Heineken for 4 bucks I think. Dances at Coco’s are the typical black Miami SCs $5 full-nude table dances with good contact though and $10 lap dances. I have reviewed Coco’s on several occasions and will thus not describe the club layout - refer to my August 28, 2013 Coco’s review for club details. I’ve visited Coco’s on several occasions over the last 2 months ago and mainly dayshift (late afternoon). I like the Coco’s dayshift since I like/prefer thick and curvy black dancers and they seem to often have a few @ Coco’s dayshift. I did visit Coco’s nightshift recently but did not see the thick voluptuous types I prefer and had seen in dayshift. It seems many black SCs, or SCs in general; are tending to hire very young; petite; slim; type dancers for nightshift and will seemingly only allow the thicker, and perhaps a bit older dancers; to only dance dayshift (that is the impression I am getting). I tend to like variety thus I visit many different clubs and get dances from many different dancers during a visit; i.e. I don’t have a fave/go-to club nor dancer. So although I had an urge to SC on this Monday afternoon; I wasn’t really sure where I wanted to go. Since my default attraction is for the thick chocolate; I decided to try out Coco’s and move on from their if it wasn’t’ doing it for me. As I arrived ~4:30 p.m. I made my way to the bar and sat in a corner of the bar near the DJ stand. The stools around the bar are the wraparound type which may make it more comfortable for sitting; but it makes more uncomfortable to get table dances at your stool (stools or chairs that wrap around and/or have arms provide less accessibility for the dancer to get up close and personal – e.g. if a chair has arms; she can’t get on you CG style). There are couple of stools (not too many) that although have a backrest, they do not wrap around. I always try to grab one of the non-wraparound stools if I can and was able to on this visit. They do have low chairs and cocktail tables on the floor; but I prefer to get my floor dances on the bar stools b/c: a) IME I get more mileage from the $5 table dances when sitting on a stool (the dancer tends to grind on me more and there seems to be more 2-way contact) b) if one is sitting on a low chair and the dancer straddles or sits on you to grind you; that is considered a lap dance and it will be $10 – if one just wants a $5 table dance while sitting at a low chair; most likely you will get mostly an air dance b/c table dances are full nude and dancers are not allowed to sit on you while completely nude (i.e. w/ no bottoms) – if one wants contact/grinding and one is sitting on a low chair; the dancer has to have her bottoms on and if she sits on you while dancing then it’s considered a $10 lap dance and not a $5 table dance. c) but it seems as long as the dancer is not sitting on you, then it’s considered a $5 table dance and not a $10 LD – and that is why I prefer the bar stools for my floor dances – the dancer will get fully nude (no bottoms) and will grind her butt and cuchie against you while you are sitting on the stool and she is standing in front of you – and you are also allowed to grope them (boobs/booty) while getting the stool dance (some dancers will give you an air table dance while at the stool but most will give and take contact especially if they feel you are going to be getting multiple dances) – also, the taller dancers, especially with their high dancer shoes, are often tall enough to be able to sit on you RCG while you are yourself sitting on a stool thus you are able to almost get a lap dance style $5 table dance So; about 1 minute after I sit at the bar upon entering the club; I get approached by a very thick BBWish ebony. She is light brown skinned with wide hips; a big ole ass; and bit fat natural Ds. As I mentioned earlier, I am into thick and curvy; so some would consider this dancer too fat or too big where I consider her stacked in the right places. She def had a few extra pounds on her; but her biggest body parts where the good parts (i.e. her big ass and bit tits) instead of her stomach or arms; etc. I like curvy and thick women; not fat women – and there is a difference – curvy and thick is being big in the right places (tits; ass; thighs; hips) even if she has a few extra pounds – fat is being big in the wrong places (stomach; canckles; arms; face; etc.) – it the tits and ass are bigger than the stomach; I’m usually good; but not if it’s the other way around. So this ebony that approached me at the bar as soon as I sat down was kinda the big framed brickhouse – she was tall (I’m 5”10 and she was a bit taller than me with her dancer shoes on) – big ass; big tits; wide hips – she must have been at least 170 lbs but she was stacked in the right places. She actually had a good approach in that she came up to me and started talking to me rather than just come up and ask if I wanted a dance. She told me she was originally from Long Island, NY and IMO that may have been part of the reason she was pretty personable. Having grown up in Miami, IMO many Miami people are ghetto and uncultured. I def see a difference b/w dancers that are from out of the area of south Florida and those that are native Miamians/South-Floridians with many of the native Miamian dancers either not being able to put two words together to have a convo or not caring to have a convo - and the out-of-area dancers also often being more well-spoken compared to the ghetto speech of many of the native Miamian dancers. So the brickhouse pleasantly chit chats for a bit and then asks if I wanted a dance (while I was sitting at the bar stool). I said yes since that is what I went there for. Brickhouse takes off her bottoms to expose her big ass with a long crack and proceeds to rub all that ass on me while I’m sitting in my stool (I was wearing very very soft, thin, loose, athletic shorts, and was commando so I was getting a good rub/grind). I reached around to feel her boobs and brickhouse proceeded to take off the top so I could get more than two hands full of natural Ds (her tits were big and round but a bit saggy but no complains from me – they were big and soft and significantly more than a handful). I got about 3 table dances are the bar from brickhouse and they were good 2-way contact. I then asked brickhouse if we could move to the couch area (white furniture area immediately to the left of the main room entrance). Me and brickhouse proceeded to the couch area for some more dances. Since the couches are low; in order for the dancer to grind on you; she must thus sit on you and thus has to have her bottoms on (club rules) – and thus these are considered $10 lap dances instead of $5 table dances like I got at the bar stool. Brickhouse explained if I wanted grinding in the sofas; she needed to have her bottoms or and it would be $10 per song; or she could just dance in front of me all nude w/o grinding for $5 per – I opted for the $10 grinders. We did two $10 grinders at the sofa – 1st song she was RCG on me and the 2nd song she was FCG. When she was in FCG position and had her big fat natural Ds close to me; I noticed she had some huge dark areolas which are a big turn-on for me. I wanted to suck those huge black areolas but brickhouse said we could not do it on the open main room but we could go to the VIP section in the back where dances are $10 per and one has to pay $7 each time to go back there. I had been to the back VIP area before and I said sure and we headed to the back. The dances in the back VIP area were a bit more mileage but not that big of a difference from the dances I had on the main floor – although I did get to suck her huge tits all I wanted. I got 3 more dances in the back VIP area from brickhouse and we parted ways after that. [the back VIP area consists of 4 or 5 open cubicles one next to each other – the cubicles are separated by high walls so you can’t see the PL next to you – but there is a bouncer that mans the area and tends to walk it – and there is also a camera so not too much can go on beyond a good two-way contact LD – kinda defeats the purpose of the customer paying $7 to go back there if the bounder is going to be snooping around and they have a camera] After finishing up w/ the brickhouse; I went back out to the main room and after 5 minutes or so was approached by a dark skinned; slim framed; big-booty ebony asking me if wanted some dances. She was talking a big game so we just went to the VIP dance area instead of getting floor dances. This dark-skinned ebony was from Houston and was pretty personable and well spoken – she was nicely made up w/ nice makeup and nice hair; appeared not to be too tall (~5”3); had a small frame (nice B-cups; very small sexy waist; flat stomach); had some big ole full lips which I like/get-turned-on-by; and had a big booty that was not necessarily big but it did stick out a LOT (I’m pretty sure her booty was enhanced b/c it stuck way too out there and she happened to be small everywhere else including having slender although not skinny legs; and the booty was very very firm; maybe too firm – come to think of it – even the brickhouse’s butt felt a bit harder than normal especially since her legs; although not slender; were not as big/thick as her ass – it seems to me the booty enhancement thing is becoming big-time/very-common with many a black dancer and Latina dancers). So I got about 3 or 4 LDs in the LD area from the dark-skinned dancer. Her dances were ok but more show than action. She seemed like a bit of a player since she had been talking a big game when she met me on the main floor but was kinda of tame in the back LD area. She was also trying to sell me on a VIP room. I am not familiar with the VIP room @ Coco’s but I guess that is a separate private room which one needs to pay the house $30 or $35 to use plus w/e one arranges w/ the dancer. This dark-skinned player said she would deep throat me in the private VIP room but she wanted $180 – please – I thought to myself. I said no thanks and she didn’t push it and I just paid her for her 3 or 4 LDs and I went back to the main room. I am pretty sure dark-skinned dancer was playing me b/c she had been talking a big game about the LDs she was going to give me in the back LD area and when we got back there the LDs were ok but nothing different from the normal – so I assume her big talk about deep throating me in the VIP room was also just big talk (although her big full luscious lips did make it tempting and I may have bit if she would have been more naughty in the LD area and if her price was lower – but I felt she was just trying to hustle me). So I headed out to the main room after getting my 3 or 4 LDs from the dark-skinned dancer. I sat in the main room for another 10 or 15 minutes checking out the scene and trying to see if there was anything else that caught my eye. I saw maybe one other dancer that looked pretty good but she was talking to some dude and being that this club is often not a high hustle club; i.e. dancers often sit around and don’t approach custies; I decided to bail and head to Secrets to catch the latter half of its dayshift. CONCLUSION: -------------------- There may have been about 8 or 10 dancers on this Monday afternoon at Coco’s and maybe 12 to 15 customers – so not a bad ratio at all for the size crowd and size club. There weren’t as many thick dancers as I’ve noticed during other Coco’s dayshifts; but there was at least the brickhouse I got dances from and the other dancers were medium build with pretty nice figures (not the skinny ones w/ no ass, tits, or curves, that I tend not to like). So although it was not an outstanding visit; I did enjoy myself and it was not a bad visit for a Monday afternoon.

Visited Tootsies on Tuesday evening shortly before 8:00 p.m. Free cover and half-price drinks everyday before 8:00 p.m. (and plenty of free parking as always). I’ve reviewed Tootsies before and thus will not describe the club layout details. For club layout details refer to my October 26, 2012 Tootsies review or the Tootsies website (there is a link to the Tootsies website on the Tootsies’ TUSCL page). I went to Tootsies on this Tuesday eve in order to watch the Heat’s season opener against the Bulls (Heat won!!!). Tootsies being such a huge club and having the large sportsbar attached to the main room; makes it a fun place to catch a game (naked women; booze; and sports!!!). My latest visits (and reviews) of Tootsies have consisted of going there in order to watch a sporting event. I don’t get too many dances at Tootsies anymore b/c: a) although I am a white Hispanic guy; I am into black dancers and Tootsies seems to rarely have any on staff (and if there is 1 or 2; they are not the thick rap video kind I prefer; but still, often I don’t see any at all) - thus I often opt to go to all-black SCs for my chocolate fix b) I am used to getting VHM and UHM dances at the all-black clubs; it seems that as of late; some of the dances I have gotten at Tootsies have been kind of low mileage (especially from the Cuban dancers). c) too many dancers with fake tits and fakes asses (not my thing) The club was fairly empty on this Tuesday eve. Although I got there @8:00 p.m.; I was there until ~11:00 p.m. I came out to the main room (from the sportsbar in the back) at half time of the game (~9:30 p.m.) and after the game (~11:00 p.m.). Didn’t really see a decent size crowd at any time. Although it was a Tuesday eve; it still felt a bit too empty for Tootsies’ standards and from what I’ve been accustomed to in years past – don’t know if this is due to people hanging on to their $$$ b/c of the economy and thus not visiting Tootsies as much; or if Tootsies is losing it’s luster; or competition from the many SCs in So. FL? The Heat game was due to start around the time I got to the club (8:00 p.m.) so I didn’t get too much of a chance to scope out the scene before I went to the back sportsbar area. I came back out to the main room @ halftime of the game to scope out the scene. A very pretty barely-English speaking Cuban dancer came up to me asking me for a dance. She was young (~23); very pretty long dark straight hair down to her waist and very nicely styled; very very pretty face; very nice figure (slim; curvy waist; flat stomach). Her figure also looked pretty curvy but it was due to enhanced boobs and butt (although neither was very big and was def in proportion to her frame size). I could not really tell at first when she approached me and was wearing her bikini, that she was enhanced. The club being a bit dark; and the fact that she approached me from behind and stood next-to/beside-me, did not give me a good angle in order for me to notice her enhanced features. She was also very proportioned which made her enhancements less obvious. I tend to be about the body and a nice/pretty face in a nice plus but not a requirement. But this girl had a very beautiful face and beautiful long straight dark hair that really made me take notice. Her figure was also nice but not the thick voluptuous type I tend to prefer/drool-over – but she still did have a very nice figure. I had some quick chit chat with this Cuban beauty (I am fully fluent in Spanish) and she asked if I wanted a dance to which I said sure and thus we headed to the LD area/room for some $25 LDs. When she took of her bikini top; it was evident her boobs were enhanced although they only looked like B-cups (but did not look too small on her slender body/frame which had very little fat). When I placed my hands on her booty it was very hard and I could tell, or was pretty sure, that her butt too was enhanced (but still, it was in well proportioned to her figure/frame; butt not too big nor too small for her frame size). She gave me a decent dance with some decent grinding but nothing out of this world. She asked me at least 5 different times during the one LD, if I wanted to do a VIP room with her to which I said no (I’m not an extras guy for the most part). She touched; not necessarily grabbed; my johnson a couple of times – she really didn’t do it with gusto – it was more of a touch as to see if was hard – I took it as her checking to see how horny I was in order to hit me up for a VIP room/session. I almost always get very hard during LDs and this time was no exception. Added to this is the fact I wear thin soft-cotton sweat pants and go commando; thus my hardness is pretty evident to the touch. She actually touched my johnson pretty soon into the dance and upon noticing it was really hard; she then started to ask me to do a VIP with her. I guess she assumed I was really horny b/c of my very hard johnson and assumed/hoped I would want to do a VIP b/c she assumed I was so horny – but, I always get hard during LDs and hardly ever opt for extras. As soon as the song was over; she got up and got dressed and said thank you. I was expecting she would ask me for another dance as most dancers do; but she did not and looked like she wanted to be done with it. My assumption is that she was only/mainly interested in selling VIP sessions and not in giving LDs. It looks like to me that she wanted to do just one dance for me in order to ask, or try to convince me, to do a VIP; and when she was not able to convince me, she just wanted to move on. This “fuck LDs” thing seems to be becoming a bit prevalent in some Miami SCs where dancers don’t seem to be interested in giving LDs (even @ $25 a pop for a 3-minute song) and are only looking for the big VIP hit/score like a bunch of sharks. And worse yet; although I have not partaken in extras with these sharks; I get the impression that many of these dancers that push for VIP probably give lousy “service”. IMO, many of them try to lure you by promising you the moon and then not delivering a pizza. I make this opinion based on their approach and tactics that I have come to see as a pattern. Many of them make the same claims of “taking you to the moon” when they are trying to sell you LDs and their LDs often times tend to be underwhelming – and if their LDs are underwhelming; I can only imagine/conclude their VIPs will also be underwhelming or right out suck (not in a good way). In my personal experience, the Cuban dancers are the worse, or most adept; at promising the sky and not delivering very much – it seems they just want or care about making the one time hit ($$$) and not about giving proper service for the $$$ spent. I’ve had better luck with white (Anglo) dancers and non-Cuban Hispanic dancers (e.g. Colombians); when it comes to delivering close to what they promised or agreed to. CONCLUSION; -------------------- Some previous reviewers have complained that Tootsies is not currently living up to its reputation. I also feel that I am not enjoying Tootsies as much as I did in the past. IDK if this is due to familiarity and I’m thus not as impressed as when I first started visiting; or if the club has really changed in ways I don’t find as appealing any more? One of the things I’ve noticed is a concentration of sorts of a specific type of dancer. These tend to be Cuban chicks that have recently arrived from Cuba (5 years or less); don’t speak very good English if barely any; are often very pretty and personable/friendly; tend to have small physiques and tend to be enhanced especially in the boobs and often also in the butt area; and tend to be a bit of a ROB by promising a lot and not delivering much. Not *all* dancers @ Tootsies tend to be this way, but there does seem to be a very high concentration of them. Also, upon getting my only LD of the evening (since I mainly went to catch the game); it felt that the song went by pretty fast. After finishing my LD and prior to heading back to the sportsbar in the back to catch the 2nd half of the Heat game; I hung around in the main room for another 3 or 4 songs and actually timed the songs w/ my cell ph since they seemed pretty short. I actually timed the songs @ 2:45 in length. I have gotten many LDs in the past @ Tootsies and I really never felt the songs were too short; but on this night, they felt that way and when I timed them, they sure were (2:45 in length). IDK what is the rationale for SCs to cut songs short. I can see the advantage for the dancers in being done with the PL sooner and thus been able to be onto the next customer, so I guess that is where the advantage/rational is? But @ $25/LD; a song should be full length at ~4 minutes; $25 for a 2;45 length song is a rip-off IMO. Perhaps those that are occasional SC visitors may not know they are getting jipped; but anyone whom is knowledgeable of the SC game would tend to notice. I think this shit of some SCs offering less while keeping the prices the same (and sometimes increasing them); will backfire at least w.r.t. the regular SC goers and may be a reason why Tootsies may be losing its luster according to some reviewers; and why it does not seem as packed/full as before? I SC a lot and spend a good amount of $$$; but I often will not spend a penny if I feel songs are getting cut short and will often not visit that club. IDK if this a new normal for SCs; but on my last visit to Booby Trap (Doral); I actually left about 15 mins after walking in b/c songs were being cut short @ around 2.5 minutes (among other bad changes I noticed at the club) – and I have not gone back since (although I used to visit a lot). And Pink Pony (Doral) is also not that great in terms of song lengths; they seem to be ~3 minutes long. The only place I have experienced good length songs has been @ PTs Hialeah where I timed the songs @ 5 minutes long (I have not been to PTs in a while so IDK how it is currently). I like getting a lot of LDs and thus I spend a lot of $$$, so song-cutting is probably my #1 pet-peeve when it comes to clubbing. In many clubs, it may not be too obvious they are cutting songs short since they will play all the songs the same short length – so it wasn’t until I decided to time them one night at a club that I noticed how short they were actually playing them. Now I tend to do it (time songs) more often since I want to get my money’s worth for the amount I am spending. One last thing w.r.t. Tootsies is that although happy hour (free cover and 1/2 price drinks) is until 8:00 p.m.; if you plan to take advantage of happy hour, make sure you get there w/ time to spare before 8:00 p.m. b/c a) it’s a pretty long walk from the big ass parking lot to the entrance b) if you just get there right before 8:00 p.m. and try to order your 1/2 price drink; there may be a line of PLs there waiting to also get their 1/2 price drinks and thus you could run out of time while waiting in line c) the computer system @ Tootsies runs about 5 minutes fast. When I walked up to the bar on this Tuesday night to order my drink; the bartender told me there was only 1 minute left for happy hour – I showed her my cell ph that showed 7:55 p.m. – and she said “yeah but the register goes by it’s own clock” - and apparently it is fast by about 5 minutes. I only mention this b/c I was charged for a full price drink on one occasion when I arrived and my cell phone said it was around 7:56 or 7:57 but had to pay for a full-priced drink instead b/c the Tootsies register’s computer said it was already past 8:00 p.m.

Visited Showgirls on Fr eve 10/18/13 – arrived ~11:30 p.m. – cover was $6 – parking was free – had a Heineken for $6 if I remember correctly. I live, and do most of my SCing, in northern Miami-Dade county – thus I don’t make it out to Showgirls too often. Showgirls has not changed much in the 4 or 5 years I’ve been visiting it. The club layout has remained the same and is sufficiently adequate – and the talent and vibe of the club has remained about the same per my experience and is also adequate IMO. Showgirls is fairly laid back; seems well managed; gets a decent crowd but never to the point that is elbow to elbow (per my experience). I’ve always enjoyed my visits to Showgirls – they have not been out of this world per se but I’ve had a good time w/o having had any drama. The staff is often friendly and professional including the dancers – have only had a bit of unfavorable treatment from some white trashy looking/acting female bartender - but I have had this happen in other clubs too (one will not find the most refined and educated people working in these types of establishments). I am a white Hispanic male but I am mostly, and almost exclusively, attracted to black women/dancers – and I go to mostly all-black SCs in the northern end of the county. I’ve never had an issue in a black SC (knock on wood) although 98 to 99% of the time I am the only white person in the house. Having said this – one still feels a bit like a fish out of water. I also sometimes have issues w/ black dancers trying to ROB me thinking whitey may not know what the deal is or whitey may put up and shut up b/c he may be afraid/intimidated. I’ve been visiting all-black SCs for about 10 years now and although I am cognizant of not acting the fool; I’m also capable of handling myself and standing up for myself, and I do. Some of the brokeass ghetto dancers in all-black clubs try to ROB me by sometimes over-counting songs or trying overcharge per song thinking whitey has money; whitey doesn’t know the deal; or whitey won’t say anything. Because of this drama on occasion; I sometimes get burned out on the all-black SC clubs and decide to go to a more easy going mixed club such as Showgirls (there are also other minor things that aggravate me about some all-black SCs such as cutting songs way short and obscene cover charges). So I visit Showgirls when I want a change of pace and a good place to chill. I also enjoy Showgirls b/c unlike many of the “mixed” clubs nearer the center of the city (northern Miami-Dade); Showgirls tends to have a decent mix of ethnicities. Anyone well familiar w/ Miami-Dade county is aware the county is heavily heavily Hispanic and in particular Cuban heavy. Thus many of the SCs in Miami tend to be Latin heavy in terms of dancers (and patrons) and in particular Cuban. This means that there is often very little diversity in these clubs and one will not find too many non-Latin/Cuban dancers in many of these SCs. Many of these SCs may have 40 or more dancers; yet one may find maybe two white/Caucasian dancers; and maybe two black dancers (and sometimes none). Showgirls does not have as many dancers per shift as some of the other clubs in the northern end of the county; but they will have a sufficient # for the size of the crowd/club. It is often difficult to estimate the # of dancers in a club; but on this Fr night @ Showgirls I’d guesstimate there may have been about 30 or so dancers. One will often find white/Caucasian non-Hispanic dancers @ Showgirls and often b/w 5 and 8 black dancers (which in terms of black dancers; it is a lot for a mixed club in So. FL). It is difficult to exactly break down the dancer ethnic makeup @ Showgirls – I would say most are Hispanic; but there is a fair # of white/Caucasian and black dancers. The dancers are not Playboy material knockouts; but almost of them are LD-worthy. I think I saw only 2 (out of maybe 30 dancers) that I would not get dances from even if the dances were free. So I go to Showgirls when I just want to chill b/c I know pretty much what I’ll get there; i.e. most of my previous experiences have been pretty consistent – I even see many of the same dancers when I visit even though my Showgirls visits are usually spaced 2 or 3 months apart. And besides that I find Showgirls a good chill spot; I like to go since they often tend to have a fair # of black dancers which is my personal preference. So on this Fr night; I wasn’t necessarily in a desperate mood to SC per se; but did not feel like staying home doing nothing either. So I thought I’d hit Showgirls since I hadn’t been in a bit and felt that I could just chill there and take things in stride. And more specifically, I was hoping to run into a particular thick black dancer that is often there and that I’ve gotten dances from going back to at least 3 years – but I did not see her on this night nor on my previous visit. I did run into another black dancer that is there almost every time I visit Showgirls and have gotten dances from her at least for 3 years if not longer. I tend to like variety and thus visit many different clubs and get dances from many different dancers on a particular visit. But sometimes when I am not too hard-up and just want to chill; I may just want to hang w/ just one dancer that is cool and treats me well; and this was the reason I went to Showgirls on this night looking for the black dancer that happened not to be there on this night. But the other black dancer that I’ve known for a while is also cool. She knows I like black women/dancers and always makes a beeline for me every time I visit the club. I never turn her down b/c I do find her attractive and she treats me very well by always touching me and stick-shifting and allowing me to feel her up even when I’m not getting dances. So on this Fr night; I sit at the bar as I usually do when I visit most SCs. The black dancer I’ve known for a while (not the one I came in hoping to see) spots me and comes right over. She is of Jamaican descent; is pretty tall w/ a medium build; she has the bod of a 400-meter runner and although I am ~5”10, with her dancer shoes on, my eye-level is at the area b/w her chest and neck; so I assume she may be at least 5”9. She has pretty big C-cups which are firm and which she always lets me suck on; she has a pretty meaty ass although not the huge rap-video kind (I actually like the thick ones with the big bootys). She is not the most adept conversationalist nor does she come across as a road scholar – our time together when not getting dances consists of her grinding on me (with her clothes on) while I’m sitting at the bar and her occasionally stick-shifting me, and my hands roaming over her curvy black body. I usually prefer this kind of interaction (touchy/feely groping and not much talking) since I am usually pretty horny when I go to SCs and just want to feel and be felt and not necessarily have “conversation” – but on this night; I kinda of wanted to chill and have some convo – but did not really happen – but I’m not really complaining either. I also know that this ebony is touchy/feely all over me b/c I often spend a lot on dances and always get dances from her; but again – I’m not complaining :). So after having the ebony come up to me and spend some time w/ me at the bar and feeling each other up; she feels she already has me primed enough and asks me if I want some dances – I said yes and off we went to the LD area. I ended up getting 4 LDs in a row from her which were the usual high–mileage two-way contact dances I always enjoy from her – and why I also have a decided preference for black dancers – IME black dancers often give much higher and better mileage. After the 4 LDs with the ebony; I went back to the bar while the ebony went to pay for her dances (dancers have to pay the club $5 for each of the $25 dances they give). This ebony often sticks to me like gum b/c as I’ve mentioned she knows I’m into black women/dancers and I also tend to often get a lot of dances – she also tends to do whatever it takes to get me in the mood to say yes to her LD requests (i.e. stick-shifting; grinding on me; letting me grope all over the curvy black body; all while we are just sitting at the bar and not getting dances). As I was sitting at the bar post my 1st round of LDs w/ ebony; I was approached by a short; dark-skinned; meaty black dancer that I had actually met and gotten dances from on my previous Showgirls visit,. She told me she was actually 4”11 – she looked short but not that short – although I have always been more attracted to short women since I like curvy women and shorter women often seem to be, or at least look, more stacked. So I recall this 2nd ebony from a previous visit; but I am not sure if she remembered me or she just decided not to mention it. I recall asking her the 1st time I met her on a previous visit and her telling me she was either of Puerto Rican or Dominican decent (I think it was PR). Anyway – she was short; meaty thighs; nice pretty big size ass; and nicely shaped, full, firm, B-cups which actually looked good-sized for her smallish frame – she also had some hard nipples that were constantly in that hard state – yum yum. She came up to me at the bar asking for a tip – I turned her around and embraced her from behind while her butt was against my hard torpedo. She was acting all sweet and flirty trying to convince/sell me some LDs – as her back was to me and I was embracing her; my hands wandered up to her boobs and I felt her super-hard nipples thru her small thin bikini top and I could not resist so off to the LD area we went although it had only been less than 5 minutes since my first LD session w/ the other ebony. This 2nd ebony was pleasant and friendly but not as liberal and “giving” as the 1st ebony (but not too many dancers are as “giving” as the 1st ebony and why I often get dances from her and have a hard time saying no to her). Anyway – as I had mentioned, I had met this 2nd ebony on my previous visit to Showgirls 2 or 3 months prior. I got the impression she may have been sorta new to dancing b/c at that time I got dances from her (on my prev visit), she would kinda of cut me off when I got to “into the dance”. But on this visit; she seemed to be more “open” per se and allowed for more groping and even some tasting of her delicious hard nipples. I got 3 good 2-way contact LDs from her and made myself back to the bar once again. As soon as I sit back down at the bar; the 1st ebony swoops in to re-stake her claim. She says “I was looking for you” – she knows how much I like the chocolate and that I have a hard time saying no to it and she knows that if she leaves me alone for a minute; I’ll be with another ebony and she’ll be losing out on the $$$ I’m spending. So 1st ebony sticks to me like gum while at the bar and her not being the best conversationalist; she maintains my interest by dancing and grinding on me at the bar (while she is dressed in her bikini); stick-shifting me periodically; and letting me feel up her nice assets. She knows what to do and how to do it – after 10 or 15 mins of doing this; she always asks if we can do more dances – and I usually say yes b/c: a) I do find her sexy b) I can’t say she doesn’t put in the work to make her worthy of getting dances in return c) I don’t like to waste a dancer’s time by either talking to her for extensive periods and/or feeling her up; if I don’t intend to get dances from her So – as I was there on my 2nd go around at the bar with the 1st ebony; she tells me a 2-for-1 is coming up. They seem to have 2-for-1s at various times in the night @ Showgirls; but I’m not sure if they do it once per hour at the top of the hour or what the 2-for-1 schedule may be. So – I went ahead and took advantage of the 2-for-1 with ebony #1 and off to the LD area we went for some VHM LDs. Showgirls seems to do back-to-back 2-for-1s – I guess this is to give a chance to the dancers to convince a custy on a 2-for-1 if they were not able to do so on the 1st 2-for-1 round. So I went ahead and also did the 2nd 2-for-1 with ebony #1. So I got 4 dances in total but only paid for 2 since they were 2 back-to-back 2-for-1s. (BTW – a 2-for-1 may be a good deal; but the songs def seem shorter than the non 2-for-1s – IDK if they are exactly have as long; but they def seemed shorter – but this *is* often the case at many SCs). So after my 2nd LD go around with ebony #1; again I make my way back to the bar while ebony goes off to pay the club for her dances. As in my 1st go around with ebony #1; as soon as sit at the bar; I get approached by now a 3rd ebony while sitting at the bar moments after I had just done a LD round. As w/ ebony #2; this 3rd ebony also approached me for a tip while I was sitting at the bar. This 3rd ebony was light skinned; short (maybe 5”2); and thick in the right places. She had a bit of a hoarse voice and she looked like she had done her fare share of living; i.e. she looked a bit rough around the edges and may have been in her late 20s or 30. I could not tell if she was pure AA; but from her appearance she seemed like a New Yorikan (New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent) or of Dominican decent – but I’m not sure. Her face was ok – didn’t need a bag over it but she was not covergirl material either – which is fine w/ me – and I am about the body and not the face – a nice/pretty face is a plus but not a requirement – as to where a body that turns me on *is* a requirement. I will more often than not turn down dancers w/ a pretty face but just an ok body whereas I will often get dances from girls with good bodies and just ok faces. As I mentioned; she seemed a bit older but not old (plus WOCs often carry their age well); and also seemed to have done her fair share of living per se and looked like she had squeezed out a few pups. She was a bit thick (which I tend to like) and was wearing a 1-piece swimsuit which was not revealing too much. Often times the dancers wearing a 1-piece suit do it b/c they may not be in the best shape or may be a bit self conscious about their body. Anyway, I was not too impressed when she first came up to me; especially since she came across as a bit aggressive and with her hoarse voice. She was trying to sell me on some lappers and although I love the chocolate, I had already had 3 LD rounds (2 w/ ebony #1 and one with ebony #2) and I was not seeing anything in her that turned me on (since her 1-piece covered almost everything). But as she stayed for a minute flirting w/ me trying to convince me on some lappers, she stuck out her tongue and gyrated it in a sensual/sexual way. I don’t tend to go for or be attracted to the “next door types” as some SCers; I like the freaks; i.e. I like big ole asses; big tits; full big lips; big round tits; thick legs; wide hips; etc. – I’m not into proportionality – I’m into thick and freaky. So this 3rd ebony sticks out her wide long tongue and moves it around in a suggestive way – I love big tongues like that and that is a big time turn-on for me. I am now kind of getting into her and I semi-slowly move my hand from her lower back onto her ass – DAMN – I was taken a bit aback – she had one phat ole ass – that thing was THICK and meaty (just like I like them) – definitely felt better than it looked since her 1-piece also had a full-bottom which covered almost all of her butt making it hard to tell what she had back there. That big ole booty sold me on some dances and off we went to the LD area. I got 3 LDs from her which were very good contact – but she did seem to be a bit mechanical and all about the $$$ - which we all (custies & dancers) know that is what is about; but that does not mean the custie should not treat the dancer a certain way, and vise-versa. But the dances were pretty good and I got some titty sucking and some good groping. This 3rd ebony actually turned out to be the one that turned me on the most on this night. She was the kind of chick that one sees dressed and thinks meh – but then sees her naked and says DAMN; I didn’t know that was what she was working with. This 3rd ebony did have a bit of a stomach; which is why she was probably opting for wearing a 1-piece suit. But for my personal tastes; I don’t mind a bit of a stomach if she has nice assets such as nice tits and ass – i.e. I prefer a dancer w/ a few extra pounds but nice big natural tits and ass; than a slim “in shape” dancer w/ no fat but no tits or ass either. This 3rd ebony had some big, round, soft tits (maybe very big Cs or Ds) that looked bigger and better than what showed in her 1-piece suit. She also had some HUGE areolas with are a huge turn-on for me and some nice pointy nipples. This 3rd ebony turned out to be built like I like them – big in the right places with big natural tits and a big meaty ass. She had much better assets than what showed when she was dressed. I got 3 LDs from her and then headed back to the bar where you guessed it, ebony #1 again swooped in on her investment (me). Again she says “I was looking for you” which really means I was looking for your wallet LOL. Again ebony #1 starts grinding on me at the bar and we ensued with 2-way touching/groping. As I was doing my thing w/ ebony #1 at the bar; a pretty, medium build brown skinned ebony with an nice butt (not hip-hop video huge but nice) and smallish but nicely shaped B-cups, was getting off her bar-top dance (dancers have to do a main stage and bar-top dance rotation). I had noticed this ebony earlier in the evening and thought she was very pretty and feminine – ebony #1 tells me to tip her and then tells me that is her sister (I guess stripping is a family biz – but hey – no complaints from me). I tip the brown-skinned pretty ebony and can't help myself but to feel her bod and butt – ebony #1 tells me to get some dances from her sis and ebony #1 leaves. The sis hangs there for a minute w/ me while I’m tipping her w/ some singles and feeling her proportional but sexy curvy ebony body and feeling her natural soft B-cups. I tell her to give me some dances when she is free and she nods yes and proceeds to walk the club asking for tips post her stage/bar-top set. The sis looked a bit shy and reserved and looked as she may have been kinda new to dancing. I waited for a bit but she did not come back – I couldn’t see her in the main room so I assumed she may have headed to the dressing room to freshen up as many dancers do after they’ve done a stage set. I waited around a bit and by this time it was past 2:00 a.m. and I had already spent a good bit especially since I just wanted to chill on this night and was not really too hard-up for dances. I also noticed ebony #1 had ram into another dude that she seemed to know pretty well and gave him a big hug and subsequently sat w/ him. I figured I has already had my fun for the evening and spent a good amount so I called it a night. CONCLUSION: -------------------- Showgirls offers a good consistent experience IMO – not necessarily a knock your socks off kind of experience; but not a “I feel like I wasted my time and $$$” kinda experience neither. The dancer talent is pretty good but of course it all depends on one’s personal taste – but in my objective opinion; the dancers are more than adequate both in terms of numbers and looks and they tend to be friendly and professional enough; i.e. they will not give you dirty looks or harass you if you say no to them. The club does have a tip-parade which can be kind of a pain. Many SCers, including myself; don’t like the tip-parade shit. I am ok tipping a buck for the 1st hour I am there or so to every dancer post her stage set;; but after that I sometimes stop tipping. So the tip parade can be annoying and put one in the uncomfortable position of having to say no if they don’t like doing this. But other SCers seem to be more generous and seem not to mind it too much and it can serve the purpose of giving one a chance to come into contact w/ every dancer in the club and thus this can lead to one finding the right dancer(s) as it happened to me on this night – plus often times one can cup a feel while tipping. The club is also well managed and there really isn’t anything aggravating about it as in some other SCs I visit. The dancers seem to always be on the floor circulating around and many will approach custies (not all) and many seem to hang with dudes at their tables. The dancers don’t seem to congregate by/with themselves talking with each other as in other SCs; and one does not see them with their faces buried in their cell phones and ignoring customers as in other SCs (I actually didn’t even notice the dancers with cell phones in their hands). I imagine this positive type of dancer behavior is due to good management. LDs are $25 per with some 2-for-1 specials throughout the night. I am not sure if 2-for-1s are on a set schedule (one per hour at the top of the hour); or if they are random? There is also a VIP room some girls try to push; but I have not partaken myself. All in all I recommend this club – whether it works for you is an individual decision.

I have been SCing a lot most of this year and have spent a lot of mula. Lately I had been going every week and sometimes multiple times a week. I had decided I was going to take a break and try to abstain for at least 2 months in order to save up some cash. The last time I had SCed and spent some significant $$$ had been ~3 weeks prior to this visit to Foxy Lady – so I thought I was on my way to abstaining from the clubs for a while – and contrary to what I would have thought – for me it is hardest to abstain the first few days/week after I decide to stop going - for me, as time passes by, the strong urge/desire to SC is actually weaker than when I am constantly SCing – may be the same as for most habits – the hardest part is to stop and stick with it at first? Anyway – I was at the Miami-Dade College library doing some research on my computer (I’m not a student at the college but go the library there when I want to get some work done and don’t feel like doing it at home). For those familiar w/ the college; it is on the border of the hood (not the worst area; but near it). There are a lot of chicks at the college as in most colleges. This college being near the hood means there are a lot black chicks that go there and I love black women although I am white Hispanic guy. I had been at the college’s library for about 2 hours and wanted a break from what I was doing. So I headed outside the library and sat outside near the entrance of the main building of the college in order to check out the talent. I saw quite a few hot ebonies w/ great bods walking around. One in particular was a smallish-build ebony – she may have been about 5”2; light skinned; thin but not skinny (~125 to 130 lbs) – she had a small waist and a nice round booty. What totally blew my mind about this ebony was that she had what appeared to be natural DDs – she was wearing a super-tight spandex type tanktop with a thin jacket over it but the jacket was open showing off her guns. She had an impressive rack and was naturally blessed – and it was even more attention getting b/c she did not have a very big build – if one had not had a chance to notice her chest – from the rest of her build she looked like a chick that looked like she would be a B or C cup at most. Having seen this freak of an ebony at the college – plus several others – and with my proclivity for chocolate – of course the thought entered my mind of hitting a black SC in order to get some chocolate lovin’. I wasn’t really in the mood to hit a SC and was a bit tired – but having seen all those hot black chicks at the college was on my mind later in the eve when I was at home and it was making me a bit restless. I decided to go ahead and hit the SC to see how it would go and that is how I ended up at Foxxy Lady on this Wednesday eve. I like variety and don’t have a fave club per se – I have visited all the black SCs in So. FL and I rotate among all off them although I may visit some more often that others. I also sometimes visit Latina clubs (which most SCs in Miami seem to be) since I also find Latin women sexy – but I much more prefer/lust black women mainly for their curvaceous bods and high mileage dances. I decided to hit Foxxy on this eve since it’s not one of the clubs near the top of my rotation so I had not hit too often as off late. I arrived @ Foxxy on this Wednesday eve around 10:45 p.m. and stayed until a bit past midnight – the cover was $5 and I had a Heineken for $6 – parking was free on Foxxy’s lot across the street (I think one needs to pay if parking right next to the club). I’ve reviewed Foxxy Lady in the past and thus will not describe the club layout details - for club details refer to my October 26, 2012 review. In this review; I will just describe my latest visit. [Warning: I tend to get too caught up in details – so this review is very lengthy] Foxxy has been hit or miss over the last few years – but it seems they have made a sincere effort to better the club. The club’s parking lot across the street used to be all gravel/grass – Foxxy went ahead and paved about half of it a few months ago. The décor inside is also a bit nicer and so is the look of the building’s exterior – although it will not hit you as an upscale place by any means – at least it does not come across as a total dump as it did more so in the past. Don’t know if the changes to the club have been due to new ownership or new management; or the same owner(s)/management deciding to spruce up the place? Actually I have noticed most black dives in Miami having updated the looks of their clubs (e.g. Take One; Lexx; Secrets; etc.). I had it in mind that this was b/c Miami has become thee party town and in particular for AAs (e.g. Urban Beach Weekend in South Beach; etc.). So I had it in my mind that Miami getting so many party visitors and in particular many AA out of town partiers; that this may be the reason why the black Miami SCs have spruced up their places in order to attract these AA out of town partiers? This is just a theory/assumption on my part. These clubs are still dives – but they are more palatable and less intimidating than the hole in the wall dumps they used to look like. So I decided to hit Foxxy on this particular visit b/c: + I had been doing a lot of SCing lately and had hit most of the clubs that are high on my club rotation – so wanted to hit Foxxy for a change of pace + Foxxy is kinda a neighborhood joint – it seems to get a lot of regulars that like to go there and hang and thus the place has always felt pretty laid back – being a white guy that likes to go to black clubs; I’ve had my fare share of run-ins with black dancers being nasty or trying to rip me off – I’ve rarely experienced this in my previous visits to Foxxy – dancers are usually pretty personable and not as cutthroat as in some other black SCs – and the staff at the club is often very friendly and personable also – all in all it’s a pretty laid back place w/ not too much drama per my previous experiences. + some of the hole in the wall black dives in Miami seem to want to take after King of Diamonds by having $20 cover charges. I can see KOD having a $20+ cover charge b/c that is a huge multi-million dollar establishment; but a small black dive the size of a small 2 bedroom house should not charge more than $10 cover IMO. Per my previous experiences; I have never paid more than $10 cover @ Foxxy which was probably on a weekend - $10 cover of a weekend eve feels fare to me. + song length. My #1 pet peeve w.r.t. SCing is DJs cutting songs short. I don’t mind spending $$$ in SCs and I often spend pretty well – but I want to get my $$$’s worth. Black clubs are *absolutely* the worst at this (cutting songs short). In many black clubs; the DJ thinks *he* is the center of attention (instead of the dancers) and he will try to mix songs as if he thought he was in a dance club or a block party. The DJs will mix in a new song WHENEVER whether is 30 seconds into a song; or a minute; or w/e – it’s sometimes all over the place. I see this way more at black clubs since I notice that many black dudes that visit black clubs just hang out and don’t get many, if any, dances. I like getting lots of dances from many different dancers – so I get screwed (not in a good way) by the DJ cutting songs whenever and I sometimes find myself paying for 30 second songs/dances – WTF? I have no tolerance for this shit and will always leave a club if they are doing this shit. It also appears to me that the song-cutting shit tends to be more pervasive on busy nights (i.e. party weekend nights) – don’t know if they have different DJs on these nights (party weekends) that like to show of their DJ skills by mixing songs all over the place or what – but what they are doing is screwing over the customers that like getting dances and subsequently screwing over the dancers b/c customers like me won’t get dances then. Per my experiences at Foxxy; I’ve had not experienced too much of this song-cutting shit – a full song should be b/w 3.5 and 4 minutes long – I’m not sure if songs @ Foxxy are this long but they are not super-short either and at the very least they are not all over the place as in some black clubs - songs @ Foxxy are usually of approx. equal length from song to song even if they are not super-long – but @ $5 a piece as long as they are 2.5 to 3 minutes long and they are *consistent* - then I’m good. + the main drawback of Foxxy over the last couple of years had been the talent – it was more often miss than hit – but it looks like just like the club has invested in its infrastructure; it has also vamped up its dancer roster. IDK if the club is putting more effort into hiring better looking dancers; or if the fact that the club itself looks nicer that it may be thus attracting more/better dancers? On this Wed. weeknight; there may have been about 10 to 12 dancers in total which is not bad for a weeknight and for this size club. All the dancers were young and in good shape – no hogs or girls one would not get dances from even if they were free. As has been my observation – it seems most clubs tend to hire the young; petite; and thin type dancers for nightshift; and one could often find a bit older; and thicker; dancers in dayshift. I actually often prefer a bit older dancer and definitely prefer the thick ones vs. the slim ones. On this Wed night visit to Foxxy; most of the dancers were on the slim side and very young looking (most seemed under 23). Having said that; although they were slim; many of them still had nice bods. I prefer my women thick (not fat – thick does not equal fat) – I like big round natural D tits; wide hips (40+ inches); thick meaty legs; etc. The dancers on this night; although not thick; did still have nice bods; i.e. descent size boobs (large Bs or Cs); nice bootys (not the brickhouse type like I like; but still firm bootys that stuck out; no flat asses for the most part). I got good 2-way table dances from 5 ebonies on this night. Table dances are full-nude $5 dances with good two-way contact (most of the dancers will grind on you and let you touch ass and titties). Lap dances (LDs) are $10 but I don’t think too many custies get these since the table dances are high mileage. Also, most of the seating @ Foxxy is high bar stools – there is one small sofa in a corner and a couple of low chairs/tables. If one is sitting on one of the low chairs or the sofa and you want the dancer to grind on you; then that may be considered a lap dance and the dancer may charge $10 – but as long as you are sitting on a high bar stool – those dances are considered $5 table dances (that has been my experience). The 1st of the five dancers I got dances from was a semi-tall (~5”7) dark skinned slim but not skinny dancer. She was kinda straight in the hips and had a smallish ass for a black girl; but she had some really nice and very firm C-cups. I noticed her when I first got to the club and she was on stage with another dancer that was slimmer and smaller boobed but had a nice firm booty. Although Foxxy usually has one dancer at a time on stage; these 2 ebonies were dancing together at the same time – don’t know if they were a team or if one of them was a newbie and thus why she had another dancer with her on stage? I got 3 dances form this dark ebony for $15 and gave her a $20. Don’t know if she was new or if she just didn’t want to do much for a $5 dance – but she was not doing much and did not even take off her top during the 1st dance. After the 1st song/dance I asked her if she did not take off her top; she said she would and took it off for the next 2 songs. I enjoyed squeezing her very firm Cs and her dances got a little bit better in the 2nd and 3rd songs; but they were not all that. I then got dances from the only semi-thick dancer that I saw on this night. She was medium build and height (~5”4) – not a brickhouse but pretty thick. She was light skinned; youngish (b/w 21 and 23); had nice personality; was neatly put together (nice styled hair; nice makeup; nice outfit; smelled good; and seemed to have her nice light brown skin oiled up especially around the ass). She had pretty big natural Ds which were pretty full and def more than a handful – her legs and ass although not slim by any means were not brickhouse thick either (pretty meaty thighs and ass just not supa-thick like I like them). She gave me some good contact dances with good grinding and let me touch a lot of ass and tits. She was wearing a tight short top that looked like a full blouse but it was tight and came down to just below her breasts (with cleavage showing). When she first started dancing for me; she took off her bottoms but did not take off the her top. During the 1st song I was grabbing her boobs over her top and she then lifted up her top and let those big puppies free – they were definitely nice to have in my hands and to squeeze. I’ve noticed many black dancers will sometimes not take their tops off when they first start dancing for you – I tend to think it is b/c maybe the black custies are about the booty and the grinding and may not care much for the boobs – or they just don’t say anything; or they don’t tend to be the touchy feely type? I love to touch/grab/squeeze and have noticed that either the dancer will take her top off once she notices that you are interested in the boobs by you trying to feel her boobs over her top; or they will take their top off if you ask them. I then got dances from a very petite girl. She may have been 5”1 at most if not shorter and very slim (she looked like she had a 13 year old’s body). She was pretty nice looking and she had approached me when I first got to the club – but I had just gotten there and don’t like getting LDs until I’ve warmed up and had a chance to take in the scene – she was also very petite and slim which is the opposite of what I prefer. The 1st time she came around I told her I had just gotten there and did not want any dances right now – but she came back a while later She was wearing a pink fishnet dress and this 2nd time she approached me she came very close to me and I noticed thru her fishnet dress that she actually had some nice boobs for her small size (the 1st time she approached me was from behind and I just got a good look at her small build when she was walking away). So she asked me if I was now ready for some dances and I said sure. I asked her if she took off her dress when she danced and she said yes (I asked b/c I’ve had dancers w/ fishnet dresses that didn’t take if off while dancing - I guess they felt they were “nude enough” via the fishnet dress?). I got 3 LDs from this small build ebony which were pretty good 2-way contact. She had what appeared to be B-cups but on her small frame it made her look busty – her breasts were very soft and she had pointy/hard nipples (her boobs were a bit smaller than a handful but felt good to the squeeze/grab). The 4th ebony I got dances from was not really my type. She was dark-brown skinned; small frame; but barely any ass and absolutely no tits (the last 2 attributes are what made her not be my type). But she came up to me with a very friendly attitude and often times the friendlier types often seem to give/allow more mileage. This chick was kinda of a player – her dances were not that good and she did not seem as nice as when she 1st approached (she probably needs to come-off/approach as very nice and friendly at first b/c she is not too hot). I got 2 LDs from her but she seemed to think we had done 3 – whatever – I gave her $15 and she went on her way. The last (5th) dancer I got dances from was a pretty and sexy dark-skinned ebony. She seemed about 22 y/o; had some very nice either very large Bs or C-cups that were pretty full and very firm – had a pretty face and nicely made up hair; and sexy full lips; and a pretty nice booty firmness and size wise. Although it was hard to tell; I think her booty may have been enhanced (this seems to be very popular now a days among black dancers, and Latinas to a lesser extent). I was not 100% sure her booty was fake; but it kinda felt like it and the skin around certain areas of the booty felt a bit rough. She did have tats on parts of her ass; so the roughness could have been from that? I prefer my women natural and specifically I hate fake tits. I will almost always turn down a dancer with fake tits and although I prefer a natural ass – an enhanced ass is not as big of a turn-off to me as fake tits – and I have gotten some really big time grinding in the past from dancers w/ enhanced bootys. This dark-skinned ebony had a nice friendly demeanor and gave me the best grinding dances of the night. I like getting dances on high stools b/c it often allows for easier grinding by the dancer. If the dancer is tall enough with her dancer shoes; she can sit on your junk while she is dancing for you w/ her back to you while you’re sitting on the stool. But short dancers can’t really reach to be able to sit on top of your junk while you are on a stool and thus they will often just bump their butt against you while they are dancing for you. What I do with the shorter dancers is to get a wall-dance instead of a stool dance. I stand up against the wall while she dances for me while both of us are standing up – this has the effect that she is better-able/easier to get close to you and grind you – and also you can kinda spread your legs a bit and make yourself shorter in order to align your junk with her booty. I got 8 dances in a row from this last dark-skinned dancer. I got 3 on my stool and the next 5 as wall-dances. I was only planning on getting 4 or at most five; but this dark ebony was really grinding me good and I kept saying one more – she also gave me free access to her very firm large Bs (or C-cup) boobs which I enjoyed throughout all the dances. After I got the 8 dances in a row from the dark ebony – I thought it was a good way to cap off the night. I stuck around for about another 5 minutes to see if anything else grabbed my attention – but since I had already gotten dances from 5 different dancers and there were not any dancers there that night that really really did it for me (i.e. a dancer(s) that I had to have); I decided to call it a night. CONCLUSION: -------------------- Foxxy Lady seems to be stepping up it’s game – at least the club has made improvements to the physical aspect of the club – and as of late the dancer talent seems to be better in terms of quantity and quality, than in the recent miss more than hit past. I would not say Foxxy is superior to most black clubs; but it has improved enough so one can go there; have a good time; and feel they did not waste their time or cover charge. In my past experiences; the club has always been fairly laid back; the dancers and staff friendly and professional enough; and the dancer roster has gotten attention to and being upgraded as of late. I like to rotate among many different clubs since I like variety and thus I don’t necessarily have a fave or go-to club – but the recent improvements @ Foxxy means I’ll be less hesitant than in the past when it comes to deciding which club(s) I may want to hit for the night. One last thing I did notice about Foxxy that was different from the past is that I saw several dancers walking the floor asking for tips after their stage set. Not all dancers did it; so I’m not sure if it’s something that one dancer started and other dancers picked up; or if it’s a new Foxxy thing? I had never seen a tip parade @ Foxxy before and it’s rare in most Miami black clubs – only other black club with a tip-parade I can think of is Take One Lounge – but I have not being to Take One in a long time so don’t know if they still do it? I tend not to like the tip parade and will often avoid SCs that do this – but with dances only being $5 at Foxxy; I guess I can live w/ it as long as it’s not too excessive – plus it gives the dancers a chance to at least make a little something something in a club where not too much big spending seems to go on.

I’ve reviewed Booby Trap on several occasions and have had a good time there over the last couple of years. My last visit to BT was ~2 months ago and I wrote a review of that visit. I, however, had never visited BT during the dayshift. I have SCed more lately during dayshift and have gotten better mileage and QoS – however since I’ve never visited BT dayshift in particular; it had been on my bucket list for a while. I thus made a trip to BT on Saturday 10/5/13. I had visited Tootsies earlier in the day to watch the Hurricanes’ game. I felt like getting a couple of LDs @ Tootsies after the game but did not see anything talent wise that appealed enough to me to spend my $$$ (wrote a review of my Tootsies visit). So I decided to leave Tootsies after the game and go check out BT dayshift. I got to BT around 7:00 p.m. This *was* a Saturday dayshift visit so I’m not sure how well it compares to weekday dayshift. I self parked anticipating the parking lot troll to hit me up with the customary $3 for self parking (at least it’s $3 @ night; don’t know about daytime?). To my pleasant surprise; I did not see the parking lot troll – don’t know if they don’t charge daytime or if the dude was away from his spot at the time I arrived. As I make my way thru the small lobby towards the entrance of the main room; I noticed a cashier at the entrance. I was anticipating no cover since it was 7:00 p.m. (still dayshift IMO) – but to my surprise the cashier tells me it’s a $10 cover. I said “ok thanks” and walked back out. The parking lot was 3/4 empty; it was already 7:00 p.m. and I assume the dayshift I wanted to check out would be `till 8:00 p.m. so I only had an hour to check out the dayshift. I was unwilling to pay a $10 cover @7:00 p.m. in a dead club and I was unwilling to pay a $10 cover just to check out the dayshift. As I described in my previous BT review ~2 months ago – it looks like things have changed @ BT - new management? – don’t know – but things are not the same. I called BT later in the week to verify the daytime cover – was told by the girl on the ph it was $2 before 5:00 p.m. and $5 after 5. Don’t know what the deal is w/ the cover at BT – it seems to be different for different days and different times. I may still go check it out at some point during a weekday dayshift just to see what is like – but per my previous visit; the talent and overall vibe at the club was down – so I’m not sure I may even bother with this club at least for a while.
