This is more of a case of expectation because of someone's status. Serena is a nationally recognized figure and has worked hard to be an elite athlete. Many athletes of the same status would have the same expectations. I also understand if there really was no room because of prior reservations why the establishment would tell her there's no room. I wonder if the owner had a conversation with her or if because they didn't recognize her, just shined her on. "Who is this black woman demanding stuff at my restaurant" A real conversation in a calm manner might have avoided all the public outcry. Being a black person myself, I can understand Serena's instinct on that account. It's not just, "Those people always play the race card." There's actual experiences in one's life that point to that as a possibility. Non-melinated folk need to keep that in mind. The other side being a celebrity is also in play. We, the global public, have elevated the ego of our icons. So finger pointing is probably not the answer either. We created celebrity so we must accept some of the blame.

Things haven't changed that much.

I remember years ago Rhino Clubs regularly had porn star feature dancers a few times a month. The CEO, John Gray, was married to Christy Canyon. I believe with the explosion of free porn sites and situations that evolved into Only Fans, the whole feature dance thing faded. But I live in California so maybe it's still a thing in other parts of the country.

Last time I was here, girls were very open about the level of fun that can happen in VIP. Just have a simple conversation. If she is vague, then that tells you she's probably very tame. There's a lot of girls here and the ladies know you can always find someone to vibe with so if they are serious about entertaining they will let you know. Never be afraid to inquire or walk away if you don't like the terms.

Who was the girl that you've known for awhile and suddenly raised her rates? Message me privately.

And let's not forget the ones who step away and then return at a later date. One dancer I met 20 yrs. ago greeted me recently. She's in her mid to late 40's, still has a strong body and obviously dyes her hair. She says she works days and is out by 11:00 to get her sleep! (her words)

Really? I've gotten UHM here many times. Extras have always been on the table.

Go to a COI club and watch the interaction and talk to some of dancers. Each COI club has a different atmosphere. As a general rule, it's good to have about 3 - 4 hundred with you not just for extras but for any drinks and admission. You may not need all of it but come prepared. The atmosphere can also be different depending on night or day shift. The important things are to have the above mentioned amount and then go in, observe, and talk to the entertainers. You will know fairly quickly what's going on.

Madeliene Khan was Oscar nominated for this. Unusual at the time for a comedy like this. She might have even won. Can't remember. Loved "The Sherrif is near!" and "authentic western gibberish!"

Thought the Feds busted them years ago.

First of all, I hate the term, "woke." Originally it was meant to mean being aware of past injustices and moving forward with more equity. Then the term got hi-jacked by opportunistic hard right folk as an umbrella term to encompass everything, even unreasonably silly extremist ideas, the original term had nothing to do with. That being said, a traditional beauty contest like Miss Universe needs to adhere to the standards the title implies. Miss means female and unmarried. If folk want to have a contest that includes multiple definitions of "Miss, " that should be a separate contest with a different title.

The only "rule of thumb" or poles that matter are in that particular spot at the moment.

It's interesting that many folks identify with one party or the other but when it comes to specific issues, party affiliation doesn't really matter. That's why when I vote I always ask, "How does this or that stance free me?" Then I decide. Aside from politics making many of us apathetic, specific concerns are what matters to the majority of people. So maybe there is hope after all.

There's a complicated history behind what's happening. The loser in all this is humanity. It feels like the people, many of them original natives to the area, just want to live their lives. The regular people are caught between rebels on one side who want to decimate everyone on the other. The big problem is that innocent folk are used as shields and killed at a higher rate than any of the warring factions. Terrorism is evil and so is the colonialism that spawned the extreme response. We can't go back and correct what has happened so there has to be a better way than cowardly wholesale killing that is so intractable.

I never initiated kissing but some women have taken the opportunity to lay it on me. But these were women I had extended conversations and danced with prior so it wasn't weird but just kind of surprising. Guess I always believed that part of the sexworker's code was not to kiss because it was deemed to "intimate or familiar." That thinking always made no sense to me because kissing is just the warm-up and if you're already doing stuff beyond that....but, hey, my logic is not necessarily their logic.

Wow. Was thinking of going there but your review has me re-considering.

I'm a teacher and I don't feel the schools in my area are indoctrination camps. In fact, my colleagues and I strive to lay out facts and invite students to use critical thinking examine how the facts affects their lives. I stress everyone's unique lived experience gives them a lens in which to interpret the effects the facts have on how they are living and what might lay ahead. As a teacher it's my job to encourage critical analysis and common sense. I also make it clear, facts are real. There are no "alternative" facts but there can be more information uncovered that will add to one's critical analysis. We must all live our own lives.

You sound like an east coast dancer maybe NYC or Conn. I'm a SoCal clubber so those rates sound higher than the market I usually frequent. That said, during pre-negotiation while you're "vibing" with the customer, get a feel for what they like and throw out a mid-range number as an off-hand comment and gauge the response then adjust rate as necessary.

Cake considers herself top tier and charges those prices. For me, there are better options here. I admire her hustle but I will never pay that asking price. I'm always willing to move onto the next if I'm not satisfied with the offer of one. No need to be rude, just stand firm in your convictions. As with any merchandise, you may have to dig a little before you get what you want.

Clearly a title to get clicks and people to read the book. Using current "buzz" words is the go-to media attention getter.

Basically all clubs in this group do the 3 for $40 thing. Sometimes they only do it when announced, other times it's just the normal course of business. VIP's on Thursday are $80 for 15 min. On other nights it's $120 for 15 min and $180 for 30 mins. Or so I've been told. Tips are whatever you and the dancer negotiate.

Everyone's experience is different. I didn't think the "racial" observations were necessarily across the board facts. Those statements were from one guy's POV. The only "liberal" and "conservative" issues relevant inside a strip club, "obviously in my own opinion bourne out of my experiences," is what the dancer is offering in terms of entertainment value. Of course we all have preferences in terms of dancers and that, along with the region, laws, and other factors, influence one's level of enjoyment. I'm a black man and my first thought when I enter a club is neither statistical or political. As the night wears on, I may be confronted with those issues but I do my best just to have a good time but I won't back away from anything that threatens my good time.

There's the weird misconception floating around that implies that any discussion about race is racist. The discussion itself isn't racist. One could argue certain personal views can be seen as racist but folks are bound to disagree because we have different lived experiences. Racism is actually based on economics and the use of those economics to gain control of resources over folk of another persuasion. The information itself is not racist. The problem is that the point about disparity in economics is legitimate but when we conflate things and push ideas to extremes is when it becomes ridiculous. Open, honest conversation will expose informed and uninformed thinking and that is necessary. Classifications are a way of imparting information and if the act of imparting that information causes economic harm maybe it should be addressed but, I've said it before, the real important color in all this is green. Everybody, no matter, who you are, loves the green. Round about way of saying, if the classification of a place or system disturbs you, find a different place to get your data.

Always talked to Sabrina and did a few couches with her but never pulled the trigger on VIP.

Risk A---Sabrina is down for the same type of action comparable to TL @ TJ's?
