From Russia with Love...

Russian girls are the perfect genetic adaptation for the stripper profession, and you'll find them here in profusion (though one suspects many are from the former Soviet states and simply call themselves Russian in order to simplify conversation). But, with apologies for painting any demographic with a broad brush, women from Russia and its environs are often gorgeous and often sharks.

I don't state the latter as a positive or a negative, but rather a general observation. If you don't have shark blood in you, the strip club game isn't the right spot for you in the first place. But even as one luxuriates in the flavors of such delicious eye candy, you can't help but sense that mercenary vibe. Don't get me wrong--I'm not one of the delusional strip club patrons who thinks the girls are falling for me, but the disinterested detachment can be palatable. Not always, of course. But more often with this long-legged, pale-eyed breed than most.

All that being said, I love the place and make a point of visiting every time I'm in NYC, which is not a city with a lack of suitors for one's entertainment dollars. Recommended.
