Third Time's a charm.

This is a summary of three different visits to the Purple Orchid. For those who haven't been, it's a large square building just over the bridge when you get on Passayunk Ave. I got there at 8 pm and paid about $10 for the cover charge.

There were about 8 dancers on shift, I was meeting a new friend of mine and I sat at the bar to wait. I was approached by one of the dancers and I think her name was Ariel. I don't really remember what she looked like, but I had once dance with her for about $20 in the open dance room. Her methods were good, but I was not ready to release quite yet.

My new friend arrived, and we went to the $30 dance room. I will not name her for obvious reasons, but I probably had the best 30 minutes of that evening while in there for a modest tip. (Inbox for specifics). I went back to the bar and got a a drink for me and the dancer i was with. I spent about another hour getting drinks and getting more lap dances from the girls as they came around for tips.

At midnight I decided to call it a night and left. All in I had 4 lap dances in the $20 room and some extended time in the $30 room. Extras are available from all the dancers, but YMMV. Start with the $20 before committing to the more expensive $30 dances. The lap dance time is about 4-5 minutes, and the DJ plays a mix of rap, Rnb and pop music depending on who is on stage. I definitely think PO is back and has been for a while.
