I Dream of Genie

I listed this as Sunday, but this place was the death of me on the nights I could visit. Stopped Sunday on the first day in the area after a club on another planet was a no go. No cover, pat down upon entering. Took seat at bar opposite of rest rooms. Stage in center. I think the ladies danced to three songs, then circulated for tips. Almost all the ladies were extremely attractive in one or more ways. All were very personable and two extremely rude, inconsiderate annoying ones. Menu's were all over the place, but pretty much wide open. Some of the ladies were choosy on partners, others didn't care if you or they just finished with someone, it was all good, the next dude could clean her up or she would take care of any left overs the previous dancer missed. So yea, I had fun listening to some of the lines and BS offers as they were humorous and also clear indicators to levels of risk associated with your lady of choice. The ladies would make rounds after dancing and ask for tips. I had no issues with this. After enjoying a few dancers on stage (unlike Club E where i couldn't enjoy anyone on stage) and several gropings, I rubbed my drink glass and made a wish and Genie appeared. Had a great time getting to know her. After 30 minutes and several glaring stares from the gallery of ladies wondering when she was going to move on so they could take their turn, I decided to have her do some barside dances. While she was dancing for me, Jazz, who finished a set a few minutes earlier and came by for a tip. She was a bit forward and rude trying to steal Genie's interaction. I very nicely sent her on her way. So, not even 5 minutes later, as Genie starts to dance for me barside, Jazz comes up and inserts herself between me and Genie (Genie had her backside in my lap - so I literally mean Jazz inserted herself) and wants to go to the back room. I said I was spending some time talking to Genie and she could come back later. She said "well can I have a tip for my boobs then". I said if you were on stage again, I would have no issues of tipping, but I would like to finish the dance I was enjoying from Genie before entertaining any other offers and sent her on her way with no tip. Thankfully, that was the last I saw of her that evening. This was the complete opposite of Vixen (I didn't actually learn her name until Thursday - but it helps for the comment) who was coming off stage when I walked in the door. Vixen was making rounds for tips for her performance and noticed I had just entered. I had my money out and planned to tip her, but when she got to me, she said I know you just got here and I don't want to take your money since you didn't see my performance. Wow, never had a dancer take that approach so she registered in my book as someone I would like to take time to know if she made it around to me later. However, between then and now, Genie happened. I spent the next two hours I think with Genie. Could not have had a better time on this Sunday evening. Honestly, this made my whole trip and I still had 5 days to go yet. Had to force myself not to go back in (hence the Penn review) to slow down on my spend. I knew I would be in trouble and lack self control if Genie was there (and I was fairly certain she would be). So I stopped again Thursday night. Genie was with someone and I sat in the same location as Sunday and waited as we made eye contact and said Hello as I walked by to the rest room when I entered. Same story as Sunday, but change one of the names. Ladies again come around for tips after dancing, no issues. Vixen, who I remembered visually (I didn't know her name at the time) from the first impression on Sunday, stopped and sat down and introduced herself. After a short conversation, she remembered me and remembered I had a thing for Genie. I told her upfront Genie is why I came back on Thursday. She had no issues and I bought her a drink as she was willing to spend time with me until Genie was available. Genie on the other side was done with the guy over there and just killing time because she didn't want to be rude to Vixen. And then there was Sparkle. First, what guy wants to be covered in body glitter? Not many. Second, how drunk or dumb do you think guys have to be to realize you are just walking back and forth every 5 minutes asking (in slurred speech) for tips. So she kind of got the Jazz comment from Sunday. After a while, Genie came over and I had both ladies at my side. I would have liked to have spent time with both dancers, but i had a promise to keep with Genie. I enjoyed my time with Vixen and tipped her for her time at the bar keeping me company. Genie had clearly cast a spell on me and off the bottled VIP we went. My two days with Genie and short time with Vixen were absolutely the highlight of my east coast trip. There is zero doubt about where I will be or the first place/person I will visit when i return. Everyone has there opinions, but these two women were more than amazing in many ways and the only reason i will miss Philly.

As to the rest of the reviews about talent level being down, hit/miss, etc., I hit what I would think would be one of the slowest nights of the week (Sunday) and talent level I thought was pretty darn good. Glamourous, trashy, skinny, padded, all shapes and sizes and all but a couple had decent personalities. A little something for everyone. So while reviews are subjective, I found my experience to be better than what I was expecting based on other reviews. Maybe it was my lower expectations walking in that helped make my overall impression better. I think I would have had a good time even if Genie and Vixen (who I only briefly got to know better) were not present, but they made my visits off the charts amazing. For now, all I can say is "I dream of Genie."
