Visit on Sat. Feb. 22 late afternoon thru night

This was the 7th or 8th time I've visited IR during winter vacations. I'm wondering what happened to my ATFs Tess the Tall and Roschelle the latina? Anyone have any info on if they switched clubs, etc? Anyway, got the free shot of Commemorativo for coming in early. Latched onto almost immediately by persistent filipina Crystal. Impossible to shake her so I took her up on several of her PG rated dances. A beauty but ultimately boring. Later Brooklyn born AA Chanel #7 dropped by and she sweet talked me into a few. A little stick shifting but something seems to be up, or down at the IR. The dances have become noticeably tamer. Worst of all, there must be 4 or 5 big burly dudes wandering around all night intimidating the dancers and clientele. Owner take note, this is counterproductive and will hurt business. Talking to the locals wound up being more fun than actually getting a lapper. The usual cadre of AA youth showed up later on, filling the place to capacity. The disturbing thing I noticed is that the entire dynamic changes around 10 or 11 from a few white or hispanic dancers showing it off onstage for a few handoff tips and lots of lapdances in progress to almost entirely AA dancers, some with massive, cellulite ridden asses, shaking it on all stages with the requisite dollar bill showers and few lapdance sessions. I'm not sure any of these women gave a single lapdance all night, just shakin it for the dollars. It is also apparent that liquor sales are paramount late at night. I've never seen bartenders work that hard and that fast for so long as I did that night. It got to a ridiculous point really hard to get a drink even sitting at the bar. They could use an extra bar back or so.

I got fed up by about 12 and headed up to Lido for a pleasant change.
