I heard about, maybe back in...

I heard about, maybe back in 2005 or 2006, the big shut down in Nashville, and since then, Nashville doesn't have any good strip clubs. Well, in a city featuring music (especially country music), I understand the mayor's efforts to make the city more clean in order to better market it as a city of art (stripping in this case doesn't count as art).

It was a Thursday night back in last August, after a storm. This club is a BYOB club. The cover cost me 18 dollars, (they seem have free admission in the afternoon) way overpriced. Also, the non-alcohol beverage is overpriced, too. At that night, there were more dancers than customers. Immediately I entered the room, I started finding the best looking girl in this club, as I do every time. I finally found that the (only) girl that was dancing at the stage was the best looking that night. Actually, even now I still feel that she is probably the best (or best 2) looking Caucasian girl I have ever met in real life. (Note: as a foreigner, this criterion is not as high as you may think of) What make that night unforgettable to me was that after stepping down the stage, she walked directly towards me and put her water cup on my table and sit with me after paying the stage fee. At first, I thought she just wanted to temporarily use my table to hold her water cup since my table was near the counter and I had not tip her yet during her stage dance (didn't get time to do it yet), so there was no particular reason why she approached me. However when she finally sat with me and would not move to any other place or hit any other customer (well, that was a slow night, not many customers to hit even if she wanted), I felt so fortunate that it might be the first time in my life that the girl who I thought was best looking also thought I was nicest (as she told me later as I asked her why she came to me) and chose me. Such mutual feeling was rather rare in my past life. She was 24 yrs old (1 year younger than me), a single mom (divorced since her husband betrayed her, and she had to raise two kids). I finally got half an hour VIP from her at the very end, and she was so glad. (It seemed like few people do that in this club.) She was a shy girl, at least shy in this industry compared to other girls. She was also very kind as she did not ask for any beverage from me even thought the waitress came up many times to persuade me to buy her drinks (which I didn't like about this club) Actually before I found my ATF in Indy last October, I once seriously thought about driving 4 hours south to see her once in a while.

Enough for my story at that night, now it's the time to give a relatively more serious review. This is a nude strip club (I think that's why they cannot sell alcohol), but not all girls dance nude. Some of them may only dance topless, like my girl that night. Also, the stage is well distanced from the audience. You have to throw dollar bills on stage to tip, thus the dancer may not even know who tip her. Totally no interaction between customer and girl during stage dance. The bouncers suck! When I was doing the VIP, they sometimes walked back and forth, as if they own the girls. My lap dance and VIP is strict no-hand on experience. Though it may be partly due to I had a shy girl, I highly suspect that, in such a strip club desert, it could be generalized. One good thing is that, maybe only for time when dancers outnumber customers, the girl, if finds one customer to work on, will stick to that customer and will not walk around the club unless she has to do the stage dance. This is better than BBF, my ATF club now, where girls, including my ATF, shift back and forth between customers, especially regulars. Even though for night I visit my ATF, I pay her (much) more generous than her other regulars, other regulars still get a good share of her companion/time, not much less than the time she spend on me.
