Archibalds is one of a handful...

Archibalds is one of a handful of downtown D.C. strip clubs. Until recently, there were really only three, and Archibalds was the middle-class option. I spent a lot of time there some years ago, but hadn't been in much in recent years It's fairly small and a bit rundown, but the owners put in new upholstery, replaced the tables, and keep the floors clean. I've been to worse places.

On a late Sunday night, only one of the two downstairs stages was open. Half-a-dozen dancers were working, but with the shift winding down, they weren't all that eager to talk to a new customer. I sat down and ordered a drink; $12 for a modest shot of decent bourbon on the rocks. The waitress was friendly and hotter than most of the dancers, but all of them were at least passable, and one or two were very attractive. Mostly white or light-skinned hispanic, from what I saw.

I sat through four dancers on stage. The first, a medium-build blonde in her early 20s named Candy, was enthusiastic and did a lot of work on the side poles. She tried to sell me on a private dance, but I wasn't buying. Next up was a bored-looking latina. Then Candy again, because she'd agreed to cover another dancer's shift. I ordered a beer and was pleasantly surprised at the amount of beer for $8; it was easily 12 oz and might've been a full pint. A much, much better value than the bourbon. Last up was a dancer who had a really interesting build; she had the face of a Mediterranean goddess, and a really thick body. Big tits, fat ass, nice curves. Very, very sexy, in my opinion, but I can see people disagreeing.
