First time here, and didn't know...

First time here, and didn't know the rules in HI (had only been to Hawai'i By Night last year). Was just getting the "lay of the land" and a Russian lady approached me. We quickly found out that we both spoke Spanish, so we briefly conversed in same. However, I told her that I was just looking. Just after that, though, a Korean dancer kind of latched on to me, and wouldn't let go. I just wanted to know what were the rules, and I couldn't understand them from her. She kept pushing for the VIP, and said that it was all contact up there, but the way she was saying it was just weird. Drink prices for dancers are idiotic, but I found out later that the dancers got half the money at the end of the night. A really strange thing was that there were probably 10 servers on - and they're all men. I made enquiry about that, and was told that, were the servers women, they would distract from the dancers. I tipped the doorman, the bartender, and the server, and they all were surprised. The dancers all have these "cushions" on which they sit in booths, and lie on/perform on, on the stage. I told my server that I needed a "dancer that spoke English, who was normal". He found me Monica. Monica is beautiful - she looks like the singer Jewel's more attractive cousin. She gave me the lowdown on all the money - no house fee, but the club takes a 40% cut of private dances, and 50% of the VIP ($300 for half an hour, and $500 for an hour, but that would only get the dancer $150 or $250). The private dances are counted and kept track of by a guy sitting in the area (although not directly watching, I don't think, even though there were angled mirrors up top). Monica mentioned several times that dances were "$25, plus tip", and that was written several places. I asked her about the tip, and she said that the dancers kept that - didn't have to split that with the house. I mathed it out, and decided on 12 dances, and would tip her $100. Monica has a pretty good, close to great body on her - breasts are small, but pert and perky. She's got a bit of an ass, but it's not fat, and that's how I like it. Completely shaved. As another reviewer stated, you sit in the seat, and a wooden railing is lowered into place in front of you. There is a brass horizontal pole above. The dancer is free to lean over and into you. Touching, however, is forbidden. I was chatting with Monica as she danced, and she got to a point when we were talking, and she covered up her breasts. We had a bit of time like that, where we were discussing. I did look her in the eye most of the time. She said she'd been dancing for about 3 years. I did ask her for one good look at her cooch, which she gave me, but didn't "open it up" to see the clit. When my time was up, though, it looked like she had to settle up right there with the bean counter/dance counter. However, she had her money, and the tip was separate.

The nickel and diming was a bit annoying, but the women were, almost uniformly, beautiful. I see a lot of pretty Filipinas during the day, and they were well-represented here. Likewise, the white women were generally attractive, and, surprising for Hawai'i, there were at least 2 Russians.
