Strip Club Reports

[SteveOak]

I have been working in Rockford off and on for the last nine months. Tonight was my third visit to Bigfoot.

The first visit was very disappointing. There was only one girl there that was not bovinesque. She was from Miami and seemed to know the score. I asked about extras in the club, she said that was a no go. I asked her about take out. At first she said no, then she said yes but that we would have to be very careful because she had a boyfriend.

The second time was pretty much the same line up, the Miami girl was there but there was a new one. Young, nice body. I tipped her when she was on stage and chatted for a minute. She came to see me after her set. After we talked for a bit she asked what I was interested in. I told her not anything that we could do here. She looked at me for a few seconds and said How about a 'handy'.

We went back to the VIP room and she managed to pull it off.

Tonight I went back. I would honestly have to say the selection was better. There were a couple of girls there that were OK and one that was quite pretty. I tipped her, $2, one for each side. After here set she came down to my table and sat down. She is from Cuba and speaks no English. LOL Once she figured out that I do not speak Spanish, she left.

I caught her a little while later and asked how much. That she understood. We went in the back for a couple of dances. Good rub and grind. Hands everywhere but the kitty was OK.

The guy in the VIP lounge that takes the money made a patrol every couple of minutes. Not like last time. I remember now that the girl that did the handy said she knew the manager. That was why she could get away with it.

So improvement on the dancers. There were several that were at least moderately attractive.

The mgt is much more tight assed though. Constant patrols in the VIP lounge. While I was in the club the DJ announced twice that cell phones were not allowed in the main area, only in the lobby or outside.

It depends on the club. At Heavenly Bodies they come up to you (almost too much) because it's a pain when you don't want to see them. It's pretty much the opposite of the dating world. I try to let the ones I don't want to see down gently. "Sorry- not tonight hun. Thanks for asking me".

When there's one I want to see (especially when it's crowded) I'll go up to the stage, tip her a buck, and ask if I can get some dances from her when she's done. I'll also tell her where I'm sitting or just sit at the stage for the song. That should do the trick. If they don't come by you- I'll try it one more time. If it still doesn't work- screw them. I never ask them again. If you go there somewhat often- they'll eventually recognize you and you won't have to ask them by tipping them. You'll become their regular. I don't consider it a big deal. I mean that's what I'm there for. The dancers I like will recognize me and come up to me asking how I'm doing, shoot the breeze a little bit, and if I want to do dances. Glad to hear it worked the last time you went.

Whenever I see a girl on stage that I like, I will always go to the stage and tip them. I ask them their name and they always ask my name. When they get off the stage, they will almost always make their way over to me.

I went back to Big Foot, the weekend following my last post. Shortly after I got there, like the previous visit, I had a Hispanic girl come over and ask me if I wanted to do dances. I turned her down, and never had another dancer come over to my table. Many of the girls that I had seen the previous weekend, were there again. Including, the two hot brunettes. Again, I couldn't get attention from them. This trip was playing out just like the last one. After awhile, I saw a hot blonde come to the stage that I had never seen before. I started tipping her at the stage. When she got to the 3rd stage, I asked for dances when she was done with her set. If I hadn't asked her while I was tipping her, she probably would have never came over to my table. I did get some really good dances from her. I just wish, once, one of of the hot dancers would come over to my table. I always feel stupid, having to ask them when they're on stage. Back in 2010 - 2016, they had a really hot blonde named "Danielle" that worked there. For awhile, I had to ask her when she was on stage. It took a couple years before she started coming over to me when I was at my table. I guess that's just the way it is at that club.

Rattlehead,

You're not the only one. I was the same color as the dancers I liked so I know that's not it. I was at Bigfoot a long, long time ago. I'm talking 15-20 years ago. I always had to tip the women on stage AND ask them for dances. For some reason, chicks there seem to sit and talk with their regulars, or their boyfriends instead of going around and asking guys for dances. It's weird. In a way it's good, because I hate getting hassled by dancers I'm not interested in. State Street Station (which is now closed) had a great set up. The dancers would go from stage to stage then eventually down to the VIP Room. You could wait for them there or ask them ahead of time by tipping them on stage. That was the best set up imo. Sadly, State Street is no more.

Well, I was bored as hell tonight, so I decided to drive down to Bigfoot. I haven't been there is quite a while. I normally go to Tiger Tail, if I make it down to Rockford. Anyway, I wasn't expecting much, since my last couple of visits were disappointing. Add to that, I was going there on a Sunday night. I REALLY wasn't expecting anything. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. There were 4 ladies in there that actually caught my eye. Two white girls with dark hair (Melissa, and Anita) really got my interest. Unfortunately, I still seem to be the "wrong color" for that club. Only one dancer came to my table in 2+ hours. A Hispanic girl that could barely speak English, approached me shortly after I arrived. She was trying to ask me for I dance, but I couldn't figure out what she was saying. I tipped Anita on 3 different stages, during the one set that I saw her do. She didn't get the hint, though. Thirty minutes after she got off stage, she walked past me and sat at the bar. I didn't want to chase anyone down, to ask for a dance, so I just gave up and left. I hate to have to ask them, when they're on stage or sitting at the bar, but it seems like that's the only way I get dances in that club. I guess I should have said yes, to the Hispanic girl.

Also, I noticed that they put a stage in front of the dj booth, like they had years ago. I never understood why they took it out.

Tiger Tail is at Rock bottom as far as anyone with any standards or experience in this industry would attest too. They have lost too many good staff & dancers in the past couple of years. He has his own set of rules & jumps on the girls right in front of the customers for breaking them -- nevermind it was how the club operated for years before he arrived. He has driven away the best regular customers & messedd up the lap dance area (removed couches & changed config for his upstairs office). He DJ's sometimes too & he cuts the songs so short it could be a felony. If your within an hour drive & want Tiger Tail back to somewhat decent don't go again until Tomorrow is gone.

Was able to get Jane's phone number earlier this year. Have not seen last couple of visits and much worse she is no longer responding to her phone. Lineups at Tiger Tail last 2 months have been horrible -- full of fugglies, druggies & even a pregnant chick. I say why not just close Tiger Tail & Bigfoot & end everyone's misery.

Jane is at Tiger Tail tonight. My buddy wanted me to go down there, after I got out of work, but I had stuff to do. He text me a little bit ago and said Jane was there, but he was already "spent" from another dancer. LOL! Tiger Tail is still ok, but Big Foot certainly went downhill. I miss the old days of seeing Danielle at Big Foot.

So, I heard that Jane pissed some of the other dancers off. One of them insinuated that Jane fucked, or tried to fuck, another chick's man. I have now idea if this is true. This is a rumor from another dancer. Maybe this explains why she's no longer responding to her phone, and why you're not seeing her there. My buddy must have just got lucky. If she has left the club, since his visit with her, I hope someone gets ahold of her and finds out if she's working at another club. I never got a number from her, so I can't attempt to contact her.

Jane is still there. My buddy dropped $200 on her, in the lap dance room, just a few weeks ago. The only night I know for sure, that she'll be there, is on Saturday nights. She told me that she works other nights, as well, but I've never managed to catch her in there on any other night. I do know that she comes in pretty late (almost 11 pm), some times. Honestly, she' the only reason I bother to drive down there. I've gotten lappers from her, many times. She always recognizes me, even when I haven't seen her for several months. I've never asked for her number, though. She never offered, either. I've seen her give her number to other patrons, though. I've been curious as to her reasoning for giving her number to some guys, yet not others. I don't believe she's doing take-out.

As for the talent in there, it's definitely gone down hill. I stopped in there 2 weeks ago, on a Thursday night. I walked in at 10 pm, and left before 10:20 pm. They did their "Pussy-cat Parade", and I bounced out the door before the ladies came off the stage. LOL! They did have a really hot "shot-girl", but I was told recently that she's gone already. Damn! The ol' bikini bars of Rockford have seen much better days.

even a pregnant chick

A pregnant stripper? Well, that's certainly enough to get my attention! I'll have to check her out! Thanks for the tip.

Stopped in Tiger Tail for a quick one recently. A couple decent dancers. Then I saw Desiree. She's perfection! Maybe 20 years old, tiny, probably 95 lbs. Hot grinding dance. In response to a previous post, I've only been in there a few times but the bouncer & staff have always been really friendly to me.

[Rainman5000]

In response to an earlier post, both the main bouncer & manager are on a major power trip. Many customers have been drove away, others live with it as other options near Rockford are so bad. This club is decent now, but will go downhill fast. Trust me!! Most of the better\popular dancers are 30+ and money is starting to slow down to.

[RattleHead]

Man. I tell ya. So, been in Rockford for forever and never been to Tiger Tail. Crazy?! We wanted to go tonight. Unfortunately time and poker got away from us, so we didn't end up making it to TT until about 1:15. Pretty much last call time. We're thinking a beer and drop 20 on things, nbd. Fun night cap. The bouncer at TT was on an absolute power trip. There was a cover, right? We tried to negotiate because there's 10 minutes left in the night and we preferred to drop our bills quickly on the ladies. This bouncer guy said no, and everyone was paying the full cover and then all of a sudden everyone's getting frisked. Frisked?! I've never been frisked at a strip club before. Has anyone else? Am I overreacting? We're just two 30 yo white guys trying to get into a Rockford dumpy strip club. Maybe I'm overreacting. Hopefully not. Safe to say, TT is off the table and BF is just so. Sketchy. We're in a tough spot LOL.

Power trip? Really? The "cover" is $3. 00, not $10.00 or $15.00. SMH. Also, you're not the only ones getting frisked. Not by a long shot. Who cares what color you are, that doesn't have anything to do with anything. Yes, you are overreacting.
