Okay guys, let's face it...strip clubs...

Okay guys, let's face it...strip clubs are a lot like baseball franchises. There are your Major League clubs where the girls are always dressed in gowns, the champagne court is where they want to get you since they just hit a homerun and lap dances are a double at best. The majority of girls in that type of club are the swing for the fence type. Looking for that high roller and ignoring the rest of the fans. Then you have the minor leagues where girls tend to start out their dancing career and the veterans end up when they have stayed in the game too long. These clubs are tiered in quality from Single to Triple A. The Purple Orchid is toward the bottom of the minor leagues. That's not to say you can't enjoy a minor league game once in a while. It's still baseball, but the hot dogs and the beer are served at a bargain price and the players tend to try a little harder for less money.

I've been going to the PO for the better part of 10 years now. I have seen some very fine rookie prospects hone their skills on that pole. Just make sure you exchange numbers with them the first night you see them because they are learning the game and tend to get called up quickly. I have also enjoyed the company of a veteran dancer being sent down to the minors for a rules violation at the Den. Either way, the lap dances have always proved to be well worth the money.

The club does tend to lean toward a more ghetto kinda regular girl and I have seen more than one crew come through with more bling on their teach than around their neck; but, all in all...a good bargain for your money and a nice change of pace from the high pressure sales atmosphere at some of the more sophisticated gentlemen's clubs in Philly.
