Intro: Living on the east coast, I rarely get to California, so when I travel and have free time, I try to make the most of it. This was my first-ever trip to clubs in the COI area, and over three days I visited Bare N Legal, Tropical Lei, Synn, Paradise Showgirls, Spearmint Rhino, DejaVu Showgirls, and Bare Elegance (in Hawthorne). See individual reviews for details from the perspective of a non-local.

I visited Bare Elegance from 2:00-5:00 on a Monday afternoon. Free parking and no cover at that hour; bottled water was $5.00. I sat at the bar waiting for TUSCL contributor lopaw, who came about 2:30, and she and I shot the shit for about 90 minutes. The details about the club are a little hazy in my mind, since I spent most of my time there at the bar just talking with lopaw. However, occasionally she and I *both* were seriously distracted by the amazing display of naked feminine pulchritude on stage or walking within a foot or so of us. Occasionally, one would stop and give lopaw a hug, since this is one of lopaw's favorite clubs and the girls seem to really like her.

I don't know how many girls were working – probably 10 or fewer – but I gotta say, I was just blown away by how beautiful these girls were. Now, I realize that tastes differ, and being that they were all pretty much of the same type, maybe none of these dancers would have tripped your trigger (I'm talkin' to you, Papi Chulo -- lol). All of them appeared to be white, tall, 20-something in age, and *perfectly* proportioned, most with probably B-cup boobs, maybe one A and one C (Jill, a blonde who was a little thicker but still stunning). A couple had enhanced boobs, but at the hands of a skilled plastic surgeon. Whether or not they would be your cup of tea, I think by just about any objective standard, these women were gorgeous. Pretty faces, perfectly shaped breasts, flat stomachs, long legs, tight booties, and flawless skin (with very few tattoos). What makes it even better is the fact that the girls walk around the club completely nude. Lopaw said the management pays them more if they stay nude all the time. Fine by me!
