I get to Raleigh about once...

I get to Raleigh about once a year and a couple weekends ago was this year's trip to The Men's Club. I got there late after having to watch the Pacquiao-Rios fight at Hooters (I guess TMC only does the UFC PPVs now). The thing that stood out for me was the relative normalcy of the dancers this trip. The blonde bombshells with big implants were just gone this trip. The girls were still in shape with almost no exception, but the stereotypical porn starlet look just wasn't to be found. There were several more non-whites than I recall previously too. Whether this is a plus or minus would be for your personal tastes--for me, I like the natural look but the ladies just weren't as attractive in general this go-round.

$40 for a private couch dance, which can still be fairly aggressive for NC clubs. It's just really pricy in my view--anyone charging $40 for four minutes of work better be outstanding at their job and while I had fun, it's impossible to think that's a great value. Waiting for the 2-for-1 special on the hour is a must.

I'll go back because of better past experiences, but $40/dance is just a moodkiller for my budget.
