Strip Club Reports

[Bdreener]

Quick news note:

Bandaids was closed for about three days last week for remodeling. I haven't seen the results but should be by the club in the next few days. I hope they didn't make it too sterile. I really liked the vibes there.

Thanks for the report Higgs!

I went to Bandaids last Friday just before 3 PM for about an hour. I had to kind of laugh (at myself) about last week's 'closed for remodeling. ' I have been to Bandaids many times before and should have the place memorized, but I didn't notice anything different.

They may have done a lot and I just didn't notice. It was very busy with both dancers and customers. All I remember was getting a few beers from the super busty bartender and getting several dances. I guess I was so busy hunting antlers (TM Bubba) at the deer farm that I didn't notice that the deer farm had remodeled.

I did have a great time with a few dancers in VIP. I won't mention names but I have a few favorite Latina dancers that really want you to have fun there. Just don't overstay you time in VIP, unless you can afford it. They will keep you going.

However, VIP is still $20/ dance at Bandaids compared to several other clubs that have raised to $25. Not looking to spend more for equal or less at other places, but always open to suggestions from this board.

Got it from another long-time Asian dancer at Hiliter that Butterfly was fired, had green card issues, and had to return to her native Cambodia. Enjoyed many VIP sessions with that girl, she has been, and will continue to be missed.

Thanks for the update Higgs I always enjoy them. Keep them coming.

On to the update:

Though I haven't posted many reports over the past months doesn't mean I've been a total homebody. Work, necessary life activities and occasional meetings with my SB has interfered with my usual club visits but here's some highlights of the past few months.

I've spent most of my club time at Essex and Bandaids with an occasional foray elsewhere. One of these "elsewheres" was Dirty's about 4-5 months ago. Who should sit at my table but Tiffany, the awkward dancer who, in the first month of two after the club reopened under that name, bragged that she passed an audition at the club. I'm too nice a guy sometimes. I let her sit in an adjacent chair for awhile but then got up and moved to the bar. She followed shortly after and I had to tell her point-blank I wasn't interested. Lesson learned: tell her when she approaches or immediately after she sits down.

BigTim was in town in early April which called for a gathering of BigTim, Dave, Heellover and myself at Sugar 44. Seems the others have taken a liking to a dancer who is there on Friday and Saturday nights. She's nice enough (ducking to avoid getting my head slapped by BigTim). She's probably one of the nicer dancers there who will do a decent non-VIP dance. A month before I had another dancer first wanting me to go directly to VIP. I rarely do VIP with a dancer who is an unknown quantity (and quality). Going to one of the lounge seats for a dance with her, it wasn't a big surprise when she said I'd have to keep my hands at my sides. I think I got one dance from her, said thanks, gave her the money, and got up.

Though I like Bandaids, I've often gone to Essex primarily because, good or bad, I'm sure to run into at least one, sometimes three, of my faves or regulars at Bandaids and my cash would quickly evaporate through drinks, tips or dances. Essex has a different vibe, cheap drinks on certain nights, and often new dancers. Some of those new dancers are extremely hot but get trapped into hanging out with customers at the bar who do nothing to help them out. I hear occasional complaints from dancers that guys want them to socialize when they, the dancers, are there to make money.

I was at Essex on a Saturday night about a month ago. Not a great night but ran into Paris, one of Newbie's faves. I saw her about six months ago and she had filled out too much and lost much of her shapeliness. However, this evening it was apparent she'd decided to make some changes. The result was a very nice body, still nicely thick, but with the restored curves. Had several nice dances with her.

On a night of recon about 5 weeks ago, I decided to stop at Le Girls, the place on Washington around 52 d Street. You may remember it has a nude side with no alcohol, and a topless side with alcohol. Nothing to get excited about but it was a little weird. A doorman / security was a little pushy about wanting to show me to a table but I walked past him and said I was fine and heading for the bar. He got into a defensive attitude ("Hey, Man, did I do something to insult you?") I just kept on walking. I had one dancer, not great looking for generous sized boobs asking if I wanted company (she asked again about 30 min later) but I just wanted to check things out from the bar. Had a dancer show up with more charm and we talked for awhile. She had to take the stage, returned, then said she had to go freshen up. Time passed. While waiting, I foolishly turned away a nicely shaped HWP dancer with a nice attitude. After 15 minutes I gave up on the dancer I was waiting for. The HWP cutie was gone. I Left. Went to Bandaids. Spent too much money on faves.

Two week ago I realized I hadn't been by Christies' on Baseline for a very long time. It could even be 10 years. They had a $12 cover. Went inside. It had been so long since my last visit, I even wondered if they had remodeled. Sitting at the bar and taking it all in, I realized that nothing had changed. Same bar location, same stage, same entry into the dressing room. Same schtick while changing dancers on stage. Bored. Left. Went to Bandaids. Spent too much money on faves.

I'm usually cautious about giving dancers names. It's my belief that there are people reading the forum who don't necessarily have the best interests of the clubs, dancers or the stalwarts here in mind. I'd rather call out the dancers who clearly aren't completely honest or not worth our time. One evening at Bandaids, I met a dancer named Selena. After a short conversation, I agreed to a dance and she tried to lead me to the VIP area. I refused, but there weren't any open spots in the lounge. I gave her a tip and she complained it wasn't enough. I shrugged and moved on.

Hey, speaking of Bandaids, what happened to the Cubans who used to swarm the place? I hadn't noticed any in the past few months during the evening hours. Didn't really care for most of them. Just curious.

There are some who say that Phoenix clubs aren't worthwhile. I'm sure there are better cities for strip clubs but there are also worse. Take a look at the Nashville SC forum. It's dead. However, it's pretty easy to get laid for nothing in middle Tennessee. Just make some social contacts and get a party invite. Good chance you'll find someone there.

Speaking of invites, I walked into a Phoenix club about 4 months ago and went home with three new phone numbers. A couple were dancers wanting to coordinate club connections but all three included OTC invitations. If you don't act like a jerk, demonstrate you're not LE, and willing to show some generosity, you too can make contacts.

Stopped in at the Blue Moon yesterday about noon. 5 or 6 girls working. 3 AA, one large and Mya. Got a dance with Mya and she explained the changes. Cameras in ceiling. Girls are no longer allowed to touch, except on top of clothing. We are allowed to touch boobs, but nothing else. For $47 dollars for three dances, not worth it to me. Won't be back. Sad.

[The Gooch]

I just wanted to let everyone know that due to personal reasons I am no longer going to be active on this board. It is not due to legal issues, I have no LE problems. I am no longer going to post things. I wish you all the best of luck in your future monger endeavors.

I miss my homie. 😞.

It's been quite a while since I posted anything. Work, life events, etc. Etc. Have made it difficult to find the time to post. Let's start with:

Update Notes.

Centerfolds: signs in front of the club say it's now open every day of the week beginning at 9 PM. Sometimes the electronic sign has said no cover for certain days, and drink specials (non-alcoholic, of course) on some days. My contacts are saying it may be a year or two before they may open the other side and serve alcohol.

I've driven by Minks (formerly Exotica and a couple other names) a couple of times and it appears to be closed. Lights were on but it's locked up. I then drove by an evening a couple weeks ago and it's dark. I'm not totally surprised. I've never owned or managed a club but they never seemed to find a balance of being fair to both dancers and customers. I think I've commented on this previously.

A couple weeks ago I was driving down Grand Ave and peeked over at the location of the Peoria / Glendale Christies (formerly Pink). Still dark with no sign but there were workers doing masonry on the building. Don't know what that could mean.

Last Saturday night I found myself in Scottsdale and decide to do a recon. I was tempted to stop at Bones or Skin, especially since I hadn't been at the latter in years. Decided I didn't want to experience pasties. I considered going to Christies's on Baseline but decided it was out of my way. I drove East. I'm pretty sure I drove by the Pink Rhino on Van Buren but it must of been completely unlit because I didn't even notice it in the dark. The apartment complex across the street objected to it reopening. The complex was built when a club was already running across the street but the Pink Rhino is on hold.

Continued to 32 d St and down to the Christies's there. Sign is on but in need of repair. Parking lot empty, doors closed.

On to the area around 16th Street and McDowell. I wanted to check on Taboo, the nude place. It has another name now but it's dark and locked up.

Later this week, I'll actually talk about visiting open clubs but that's all I have time for tonight.

Greetings Higgs,

Glad to see that you are back posting again. Sounds like the valley has too many clubs for the locals to support. Most of the clubs you mentioned are not on my radar screen anyway. I may not be back until this fall, so not sure what I'm missing. Only my adventures at Bourbon and now Sugar 44 with Dave. Also really missing the BBQ at Little Miss BBQ. Thanks for keeping us all posted on the club scene in the valley.

I stopped in looking for my old friend China who has been traveling recently. For about the third time I was snagged by # She always seems to remember me which is nice. She is somewhat heavier than I like but is always very friendly. She has pretty nice natural D. DD's. I ended up getting 6 non-VIP dances during which she gave very good service and allowed plenty of concealed roaming going both ways.

I decided to blank her name just in case management is reading.

[PhxGuy1]

Stopped by Blue Moon yesterday during day shift. They now have cameras in the ceiling over the private dance couch areas. The girls no longer take off their clothes and don't provide extras. Since high mileage used to be the one attraction of this place, I won't be back.

[PrinciePain]

Staying in Peoria tonight. Any suggestions between the Glendale clubs or Bliss?

Xplicit! Ask for Betty, she has a great personality.

[Desert Rat]

I've had some pretty good recent post-Spring Training visits at Bourbon Street lately. Some great dances and attention from the ladies. Anyone having success post-ST at BSC or any other clubs?

I have never set foot in Bourbon Street but one of the hottest and most expensive escorts I ever fucked said she worked there. Lady said she was a sugar baby in New York for a super rich guy for a couple of years.

[Tetes6921]

Maybe things have changed. I quit going there because when the girls come off stage they disappear to a back room and don't work the floor.

I wouldn't say it's changed dramatically, I just wanted to point out that lately I've seen some improvement there in terms of getting quality ladies to pay attention and wanted to make sure this board was aware. Might just be good luck on my part.
