Sigh. Ten years ago, this...

Sigh. Ten years ago, this used to be one of my all-time favorite places to visit in Southern California. Back then, it was an upscale club with gorgeous girls and lots of contact. Now, it's still an upscale club and the girls are still attractive (... not gorgeous, but definitely good-looking). But, it's ALL about the money. Had a couple of 3 for $100 dances with different girls. All the girls were lookers, but the dances were lacking in ... shall we say ... inspiration. And, I hate the fact that you have to go back to the bar with the girl to pay for the dances. Makes it feel way too much like a business transaction (which it is, but let's leave a little fantasy in place, shall we?) ... plus you get both the dancer and the bartender pushing for a tip above and beyond the $33.33/dance price. If a girl deserves a tip, she'll get it -- I don't need the bartender to remind me. Maybe if the dances had been more satisfying, I wouldn't have minded so much. But, as it is, I may have to try some place new next time I visit sunny Southern California.
