I visited the Darling Cabaret three...

I visited the Darling Cabaret three times during my stay in Prague, on a Saturday, a Sunday, and a Wednesday. Okay, so you've probably already guessed that I liked it.

Darling is the largest strip club I've ever visited, with three levels (and three stages), a main stage where the best dancers stripped, and two smaller ones where less talented dancers did their thing for two songs each. And on the Saturday evening I visited, there were 121 girls present! Yes, that's not a typo: one hundred and twenty-one girls! Admittedly, that number was the club's claim (on a blackboard at the entrance), but my feeling from the number of women wandering around was that that number was right. All were in the 8 to 10 range in beauty, except for one. That one was a near-300-pound fatty who presumably was there for comic relief, but that was hardly the kind of relief one asks from a strip club, and I found her irritating and somewhat depressing.

Anyway, the main-stage show at Darling was impressive (especially Saturday), maybe the best I've ever seen. Girls danced for two songs (with not-too-painful) two-minute breaks in between and stripped to nothing by the middle of the second song. There was essentially no tipping and no break between their two songs, so the girls were able to concentrate on their dance, which was quite artful, erotic, and an amazing turn-on, even though they never spread their legs wide to really show off the kitty's details. After every two or three dancers, the three or four Darling go-go dancers did a less erotic (bra and panties stayed on) and classy number in matching costumes. One involved classical music and elegant Marie Antoinette attire, which they then removed to reveal Las Vegas showgirl outfits underneath as the music changed to rock and roll.
