In New York, it's all about...

In New York, it's all about fitting more into less space. Being no stranger to strip clubs, but not being a person who frequents them, I didn't expect to get much out of this establishment. Normally, I see strip clubs as the "ha ha let's all go throw dollars at naked ladies" norm that revolves around my Bay Area group of friends. New York Dolls has given me a new appreciation for stripping.

Generally if I go to a strip club, it's in a large anonymous group. No such things can exist here because the space is so small. But small isn't the right word. Intimate is actually appropriate. Granted, the ladies are sweet talking you because that's their job. They're good enough to keep your eyes off the stage and on them, and there's easily enough girl for any interested guy. Normally I'm not an interested guy. Normally.

Perhaps my Seinfeld physique draws the girls to me in this city. I only wish I had the same money, Lord knows strippers don't generally gravitate towards me. But the something about the girls at Dolls let's me drop my guard and feel willing to drop a few 20s on lap dances, something I'd normall have no interest in.I know there's nothing more than a little physical satisfaction. I know there's nothing more than a little fun that starts in the club and stays in the club, going only so far as my money can take it. And I'm okay with that. I enjoy it. I like it.
