A Thursday at The Church to remember.

This review is for a Thursday evening + Friday afternoon in late July. The Thursday visit was simply amazing. I've visited St. James no less than 50 times over the years, but this night was special. Walking in at about 5:00 pm I found all three stages simultaneously occupied by bona-fide 9's. If PSA rated strippers the way they grade baseball cards, they would rate these three "gem mint". Overall, there had to be more than 40 (maybe even 50) girls working and I would not rate a single one lower than a 7.

The Cuban girls were out in full force: Tiffany, Talia, Carol to name a few. While I don't speak Spanish, I've always enjoyed their company and the occasionally humorous communication challenges. Of course it's a game of faked attractions, but they are so good at it that it feels pretty darn real. The American women of color were represented by April, one of my favorite dancers, although she has better days and not-so-better days. Today was a good day, she was lively and entertaining. In the girl-next-door category, first place goes to Felicity; I had a real sweetheart of a gf experience with her. Finally, I had the privilege of catching Kendra a.k.a. Leah C. on her next-to-last day before retiring from the entertainment business and moving out of state. Chatting with her about her family, life experiences & ambitions was a highlights of my evening. Seriously. OK, that's not what you're here to read, so let's get down to some important details:

Private dances are $20. If a girl claims she is worth more per dance, move on; there are plenty of exceptional girls that don't charge beyond the going rate. The dances are about 3 to 4 minutes. The end of one song and the beginning of the next are often a blur, so be sure to keep count and occasionally verify your accounting with the CPA on your lap.
