Okay, I’m beginning to figure this place out. There’s a couple things you need to remember before setting foot in the CL.

The hustle for dances begins pretty much as you walk in the door. On a Thursday afternoon I hadn’t even reached the bar before I got a “where you goin’, baby?” The girls’ stage shows will give you a pretty good idea of what you’ll get in the private area upstairs. Unless a girl really captivates you, it’s best to ask your favorite girl on stage for a private dance after her set. The looks of the dancers vary, but there’s enough talent to suit different tastes.

Negotiate a price before you go upstairs. The pricing for LD’s is not set in stone. It’s supposed to be $25 for topless, $35 for nude, but it varies from girl to girl. I got a 2-for-1 for $40 but I got a good session and honestly couldn’t complain. The afternoon massage girl, a lovely Asian girl in go-go boots, was wonderful. Two songs for $20, and as good a massage as I’ve had in any health spa.
