Henry VIII South's cover is $10...

Henry VIII South's cover is $10 after 7pm and a bottle of water is still $6.25. I take my seat on a stool at the counter facing the stage and start to watch the show. It takes me a little while to notice but it's the red laser light that gives it away. They have got a new lighting system. Then I begin to notice other changes. There is a new paint job complete with playboy bunny stenciled at either side of the stage. The ceiling above the stage has been painted in UV reactive paint…. Then it hits me hard… the Home Depot soccer goal pole setup is GONE… there are no poles on the stage… I take a quick look around just to make sure I'm still in Henry VIII south, yup the funky party carpet looks the same, the bar stools and chairs look the same even the photos behind the bar are the same but changes have been made. Heck even the bouncer has an official Henry VIII staff shirt.

I look around and the dancers look new, I don't recognize any of them. There are maybe 10 or so dancers on shift and there are a wide range of dancer types represented. From Small and skinny to round and curvy, as you can expect there are some highs and lows included. Some of the dancers hit high marks one aspect then bottom out on other aspects. On the whole if you can look past an occasional flaw, then there are some good bodies working the shift.

The lack of poles must be a recent thing every now and then you can see the dancer reach up to grab the bar that's no longer there. So that relates to the dancers doing more mirror and floor work. At one point one of the dancers took an entire song to wash and wipe the smudges and smears off the mirrors at the back of the stage. At first I was like WTF but then I think if this was anywhere else in the world then I would be happy to watch a hot girl wash windows so I sit back and enjoy ;0). There is talk that the poles will be back soon and be replaced with ones that rotate.
