A fall from grace

I started going to Flashdancers when I was in college. In the early days I would go solo during my lunch time during my internship days and it was a fun way to blow off some steam. There were pornstar quality women dancing and the waitresses were smoking hot too. Speaking of which, they used to let the waitresses give dances if you took them to the champagne room and there were quite a few that I took back there. Yea, college days were the shit. Prices were also obviously much lower when it was $350/hr.

Fast forward more than 20 years later and good lord it's changed. There's probably half the number of girls working day shift (I was in around 2pm) as the old days. I'd estimate around 15-20 (at best). And they all looked either coked up and old or young, rail-thin and ugly (like 5's and 6's). They also mostly looked like Russia sent us their worst.

I usually don't bother to get a drink until I know for sure that I'm going to stay, but that didn't stop the many waitresses from trying to get me to sit and order for their two drink minimum. As I floated from the front of the bar to the side of the main stage, I just didn't see any talent worth grabbing a dance with until finally there's this really hot, light-skinned Black dancer who looked mid-30's. Tall, lean and great boobs that at least looked natural. I thought we locked eyes and as I tried to make my way over to her, another guy approached and took her to get drinks. That's always the worst. It inevitably adds an hour to what otherwise ends up being the guy getting a dance or two but thinking he's getting somewhere with her by buying a vodka and red bull.
