Big Girls. Lower Prices
On a Friday night, I started at Studio69 where I suffered sticker (sticky it to the Gringo?) shock. (A review of that visit has been published.) I had been there before and prices were a little more in line with Obsession. Made two visits to Obsession, as I went back Saturday night. I am also planning to go back tonight (10/20).
I usually park in an unmanned lot across the street from the McDonalds on the USA side. $3/hour or $20 for sorta 24 hours. Two advantages: 1. It is very easy to get out of there and head north. 2. When traffic is heavy going into Mexico, it is hard to get to the other lots. When I parked on Friday at 7:30, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, so I paid the $20 (credit cards only). Maybe I would find a hottie that I could TLN cheap. (A guy can dream can’t he.) I say “sorta 24 hours,” because I arrived about 8:00 and the $20 ticket said my parking was good until 11:59 the next day, a total of 28 hours. Saturday I parked for free until midnight.
Obsession is not hard to find. It is across from Hotel Regis (where some of the street girls are rumored to hang out). If you come out of the border crossing and hang right, following the FENCE that Mexico didn’t pay for, two streets up, a left turn, on your left is Obsession. The week before on the Friday, I walked by with some non-mongering friends about 3:00 pm and the club was open with a barker trying to convince me to come in. I was in Nogales in June and walked by the club about 3:00 then and it wasn’t open. (I even tried the door to be sure.) I recall reading a temporary sign that they don’t open until 6:00, but never believe the signs in Mexico…or the people.
Cover was $10US each night. The Gringo price. (Four months ago it was $5.) Funny things: One, there is a sign on the door that says the cover is $17US, so I actually felt like I was getting a deal. Until. The local who came in behind me paid $100MX or a little over $5US. The local was about to pull out more money when the bouncer said it was OK. So, I paid more than the local, but less than the posted amount, and much less than at Studio69 ($24). Clearly the bouncer (Serigo) was making it up as he went along. I am going back tonight (10/20) and when I do, I am going to hand him $100MX and see if he lets me walk in.
Bar on the left. Seating on the right. Toilet on the left past the bar. The place has had a slight facelift, as there used to be prices painted on the beam over the stage. At that time, the beam said fichas were $13, so prices here have not gone up an unreasonable amount. The chairs are in good shape. Didn’t notice any other obvious changes. The stage is surrounded by seats at the rail and tables behind the chairs. Further down on the left side is a “reception area” where mongers can pay the mesera for private time with the women. There are small, uncomfortable booths with no door or curtain, but you are also not looking over a barrier at the neighboring couple, so there is some level of privacy.
Overall, most of the women are thick. Skinny girls in Studio69. Big girls here. There were a few that were truly sexy women, but finding one spinner here would be unusual. There was one girl that was close to an 8, but she was dressed in civilian clothes and seemed to just be buddies with some of the dancers. The female population (not counting the meseras who you wouldn’t want to fuck anyway) varied from six to twelve through the night. Mongers came and went (without cumming it appeared). Most sat with their favorite girl at tables along the wall their entire visit. A few rotated their company. A few more sat alone.
Beyond the showroom there was a large room with a futon where intimate activities took place during my previous visits. I didn’t take anyone back for full service this trip, but if nothing has changed, my past experience is that the mesera makes the futon into a bed. The puta I was with at that time explained that legally there cannot be a bed in the room. So, they lay down the futon and throw some sheets over it and fold it up when the session is over.
Friday, I sat at the last seat at the stage (intentionally making it difficult for a puta to sit next to me, as I didn’t have a lot of time or money to invest after leaving some of my bank at Studio69.) Between me and a guy that engaged me was a puta on the thick side that he was entertaining. He was also liberally tipping the girls on stage.
“How are you doing?” he asked. We exchanged pleasantries and I continued to watch the stage show. “Watta drinking?” Jack Daniels ($8) I replied. He came over to where I was sitting, said “Patron” and we clinked glasses. “Anything you need, just let me know.” I didn’t know if he was somehow associated with the bar, a shill, pimping the girls or the local drug dealer.
We chatted for a bit and he turned out to be a very nice guy. He encouraged me to sample the girl parts of the woman he was with. Indeed, I am now kicking myself because I didn’t get his contact information. He appeared to be white (in the dim light). Spoke fluent Spanish and English without an accent. My excuse is that I was a little buzzed from my Studio69 visit and unsure of his motives. Part of my motivation for coming back on Saturday was to see if this person was there. He wasn’t.
(If by some miracle someone reading this knows this guy, about 5’ 5”, lean, short hair, glasses, maybe in his 40s, lives on the other side of the border, spends a lot of time here, and is very outgoing, I would like to get in touch with him. He said he is in agriculture, and I am interested in starting a related business, hence the reason I kick myself for not getting contact information or learn more about his profession. Reward if found.) Anyway, onward.
On Saturday the puta he was sitting with beelined to me. I asked about the guy, but I think she was concerned that I wouldn’t hang with her out of respect for the brother monger. She was reasonably playful. Thick, but not fat in the middle. DD natural boobs. And a shapely ass that she kept moving my hands to. I bought her a ficha ($15 for her little cerveza). She wasn’t big on trying to communicate orally, but she made it clear that she was happy to do oral by using her beer bottle or fingers as props. I told her that I wasn’t ready, but I was interested. She was very fuckable and kept pitching, occasionally squeezing my manhood. However, after about 40 minutes (and three fichas), she got frustrated and left without comment to sit against the far wall with some of her fellow dancers (including the aforementioned 8). No real loss. Nobody else approached her and the few mongers in the club that she approached all rejected her. During the course of her time with me, I gave her maybe $8 in odd tips for popping out her boobs (which looked and felt great) and some tame lap dancing.
A dancer came on the stage who was covered in tattoos that looked like they were done by a six-year-old. Small Bs. Maybe 5’4”. Average face and body. Not my cup of tea. However, after her dance she came and sat next to me. She speaks a little English and was charming, so I bought her a ficha to be polite. Turns out she was very sweet. Not a lot of conversation, but she gave me a massage in the chair that made it clear that she knows what she is doing.
It is about 10:30 and now there are about eight girls and eight mongers, and a fairly consistent stage show/rotation. Three mongers sat at the rail, plus me. Very few of them tipped the girls on stage and then only specific dancers. (I tipped every stage dancer a minimum of a few dollars.) The girls must be making some money on the fichas and small tips while sitting. Still didn’t see anyone going to the private cubes or rooms, but my attention was frequently diverted.
I continued to buy fichas for tattoo girl. The logic being that it was fun trading hands with her aand she was pleasant to be with. Bought her maybe five fichas total. The meseros are not as aggressive as the ones in TJ, but they did keep tabs on clients, occasionally verifying the volume remaining in the bottle of beer.
About 11:30 the stage rotation started repeating and my parking meter was going to run out at midnight. Exceeding the time risked getting my car booted. And I wasn’t feeling like any of the girls were worth risking getting the car booted in exchange for an arriba. I considered asking tattoo girl for a BJ, but I decided to save my money for another time. I tipped her about $20 in small bills during our time together and another $20 when I left to thank her for hanging out with me. The whole time the other girl who approached sat along the back wall with little action. If she had hung with me she would have at least made another $40+ in tips and likely I would have taken her for an arriba, but she wasn’t patient enough, so I probably dodged a bullet.
On my way out, there was a sign that I took a photo of. I had some idea of what it said, but I checked with Greenbeans to confirm. This is what it says according to he who is fluent:
Bucket of 5 (1/2 = 12 oz bottle) $19
Lady drink = $14
Private dance $22
Bottle beer $4
Little beer for chica $15
A little high compared to TJ, but fair prices and a bargain compared to Studio69. The other thing is that the Obsession girls tend to nurse the beer for 15-20 minutes. Most HK girls have their drink down in 3-7 minutes and are asking for another. CC and BT girls go 5-10 minutes, so the price at OB is a little higher, but it is a reasonable value.
Walked back to the border after purchasing a bottle. About six people in the line. The border agent asked me what I had to declare and I hoisted the bottle. He asked me if I brought it from the USA (which might have been a hint that if I had said “yes” he wouldn’t list it, as the limit is two liters a month) and I told him that I bought it in Mexico. He then quizzed me on the price and if I saved anything. I said in the USA it typically costs $35-$40US. In Mexico it was $300MX or about $16US. Smiling, friendly, seemed like an OK guy. I am going to get at least one more bottle this month. Not sure that he logged it in my records, so I might try to bring over a third bottle. Not sure what they will do. If I try and they make it an issue, I will place the information in the comments of this review.
Got to my car a few minutes before the midnight deadline. Thought about walking across the street to McDonalds to get a snack. (The Burger King closes at midnight.) Didn’t see anyone around who might be booting cars, but I thought it best to get down the road. The way my luck runs, I would get booted two minutes after the parking expired while I was ordering my double quarter pounder.
