"If you like your strip club, you can keep your strip club."

Nobody has actually promised that, but at least it seems to be the case for now in the newly annexed territory that Follies occupies. On most days it's the same old Follies I've come to know and love over the two years I've been a regular. On a rare day, they'll clamp down on dance action, but that's no different than it's ever been. Of course, there's no telling whether we're in the clear for good, or if things could still take a sudden bad turn.

It's been a little disheartening to see so many of my favorite dancers leave over the past several months. Especially since there haven't been that many new ones to get excited about, although that has improved a bit recently. And, as you can expect, a few of those past faves have returned after some time away. I guess it all goes with being a regular at any club. To a new visitor, the talent level now probably appears about the same as before.
