The Daytona Beach City Council recently...

The Daytona Beach City Council recently passed a law prohibiting the exposure of any breasts or kitties on stage in strip clubs (and which was recently upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals). It went into effect on October 18, 2007.

I visited Molly Brown's on a Sunday evening just after Daytona Beach's crazy new anti-strip law went into effect (see my review of Lollipops for more of the sordid details). Only three girls were there at about 9 PM, and another arrived later (pretty dismal even for a Sunday evening). They danced, one at a time, on stage for three songs, taking off no clothes and exposing nothing, so it was pretty much like being outside on the beach, maybe worse (even more dismal). But the backroom, private-dance action was unchanged, and I bought several dances from Jade and Susie, who were very good and about the sweetest and friendliest dancers I've ever met at a strip club. Just to pass the time, Jade spent the rest of the evening talking with me. Of course, there wasn't much else to do. Certainly taking off any clothes on stage wasn't on anyone's To Do list.

On the whole, I would say that it wasn't a total loss of an evening. But I'd say that the totally lame stage show really killed the fun for me, and I probably wouldn't go back. In fact, I don't have any plans to return to Daytona Beach, for that matter.
