Lenny's, Tuesday evening.
I have not lived in Indy long so I do not know the past names of this fine establishment, but I did get a chance to experience it last night. There was about 5 girls in the line up, and not much talent, except for black hottie. I really don't think they have a lot of regular girls but I do think about any girl in that place will do anything for a dollar. I just don't think anyone wants what they have.

Just throwing some random stuff out there
Stopped by Club Venus a couple of weeks ago. You know how some guys on here joke about wearing sweat pants to a strip club. I just happened to have on a pair of old navy pants that are a little like track suit bottoms. OMG. Grindage takes on a whole new meaning! What was funny is that girls would walk by and rub their butt against my crotch (Make sure you sit on a stool, with your legs open facing the stage.), feel how much I appreciated their gesture, and would reach down and give Big Ed a little squeeze. I had several times girls would just walk by and sneak a squeeze.
And then I had a couple of table dances. Dayam! I don't mean to sound too pervy, but man, my choice of pants that night made a difference, for sure.
Venus is good for about 1/2 hour. If you don't see anything by then, you aren't going to. Usually pretty slim pickings, but I've gotten EXTREMELY high milage in VIP there. I noticed Venus doesn't get mentioned much. Thought I'd throw that out there.
Also, went by Harem late last Saturday. Man was I disappointed. Why? Every girl in the place seemed locked onto a guy/group of guys and there was only 1 free girl the whole hour or so I was there. I knew stopping by on a Saturday night would be dicey, but MAN! There was one girl who really caught my attention. A blonde with a big ass, wearing black frame glasses and her hair was in two pigtails. I think her name started with a "P". Paige? I can't remember. Anyone tell me who she was and if you've had a dance from her?
Also, I peeked my head into Silk N Lace, saw a couple of rough biker types, got a bad vibe, and high tailed it outta there. I know from previous posts that the place has been considered skankerific, but any recent reports from you guys on what it's like now?
Indy for the week, where to go from downtown?
Want a strip club with women in the 6-8 range with good grindage at a reasonable price that won't hear an English accent and try and rob me blind.
Thanks
RG = Waste Of Time. Go to BBF
[QUOTE=Dog Man]Last night we hit Red Garter, or they hit us as soon as we walked in. There are wonderful looking girls there and could walk from the hotel but the stripper police kept on me about where my hands kept going. I thought all of Indy was like Wild Cherry, my mistake.[QUOTE]
For eye candy, the Red Garter is fair to good. If you want to have what our membership would consider a good time at a club, go somewhere else. My suggestion for tonight would be a short drive down Southeastern Ave. to Brad's Brass Flamingo.
Tell me about the Gold Club's history
I first went to a strip club early this year and I went to BGC (now GCI) because a friend who used to live in Indy told me it was the best place to go. From the small-ish crowds, I've been told that this club has gone down hill, but, since I know no better, I have enjoyed myself there and like the prices. But since there is so little discussion about it, I was curious what others think and for any other local advice.
I tend to be an afternoon person but occasionally do nights after 9. I find there always to be some hot dancers there except that the line-ups are weak on Monday afternoons, and there are very few girls on Saturday afternoons. I think the most of the hot girls are good conversationalists, many in college or "taking a break" from college, others have young kids. It seems like a lot of the girls claim to work there because they say it is not a "whorehouse" like other places in town.
I never feel like there are bouncers hanging around the VIP rooms, and the amount of touching varies from girl to girl. I like the prices of $10/song table dance, $20/song in VIP room, $125 per half hour in the Champagne room.
Since I heard that GCI was not that great a place anymore, I tried PTs. Overall, I think the quantity of hot girls is higher at PTs, but because GCI is less crowded, it seems like you can easily spend time with the same type of hot girl at GCI, and they won't rush you to get to the dances. It just seems like GCI girls are happy to have a male to talk to. Plus, PTs $5 private booth entry fee plus $25/song prices add up compared to $20/song at GCI. I think the $125 Champagne room for $30 mins is much better than PTs $450/hr. Hey, if I have $450, I can spend 2 hours with some of the best escorts in town, why would I spend an hour in a Champagne room?
I find the wait staff at GCI more attentive than PTs, although the afternoon GCI staff is more cheery than their night staff. I don't think GCI is as run down as some think, even though their restrooms are nasty.
Like I said, I am new to strip clubs, and probably did things in the opposite directions, starting at Nevada brothels, to local escorts, to strip clubs. I never saw the point of strip clubs, but must admit I like the socializing, etc, that reminds me of sitting around the brothels hanging out with the girls. I still don't know how long I will go to strip clubs, but am curious about Dancers and BBF.
Re Loboboy and Brads Gold Club
I'd enjoy Brads Gold Club alot more if you had a Jazz Night. Me and my friends have been looking for a club that features hot ladies and gool jazz.
Seriously though, BGC is a mediocre mess of sloppy women and overpriced booze. Are you still making your girls suck off excise cops so you can keep your liquor license?
Thanks Cooter for the BGC perspective
Like I said, I only started going to BGC because a friend who used to live here recommended it. He once got some take out and was pleased. But given the slow business, I had the feeling that I was at a place that had a bad reputation.
I think I will try BBF and Dancers. You mentioned overpriced drinks at BGC, most of the time I can get a vodka a BGC for 4. 25, and always much more at PTs.
My first time at PTs was a Saturday afternoon and I saw the full range of the dances. The first dance was an AfAm girl. I asked what her personal rules were, and she said she would let me know if I crossed the line. She encouraged me to grab everything and I had her entire tittie in my mouth. I thought, wow, are all PT girls like this? So I asked to spend time with the hottest girl in the place, an IU student. She wouldn't let me do much of anything, so I learned the extremes of PTs.
It will be interesting if BGC will ever get out of the doldrums. They have renovation plans, but will also increase dance prices.
Suckered at HH? end of feature dancer era?
sounds like you were conned! I've only been to Harem House once and was not impressed. It used to be (and maybe still is) owned by Babes but it seems to be their less classy line of merchandise (sort of like Kraft selling Macaroni & Cheese shells with liquid sauce using an ad criticizing powdered Mac & Cheese while at the same time they themselves also have powdered Mac & Cheese).
I say this because in the '90s heyday of feature dancers Babes used to have feature girls but the Harem House never did go the extra expense. Actually I first started going to strip joints because of the features and rarely went to see just local girls in the '90s.
By feature dancers I mean national magazine models and XXX actresses who would visit Indy for a week (or two if they played at both Babes East & West or both Brad's). I have a huge men's mag collection going from the 1950s (long before I was born) through the present, pinups, tease, Playboy imitations (like the great Modern Man) up through groundbreaking '70s Hustlers (my dad left those openly lying around the house when I was in high school!) to current XXX magazines. To quote Gus Borden (Brian Doyle Murray) from the sitcom "Get A Life", "I have a nudie magazine bill that would pay for a small trailer"! So back in the '90s it was a huge thrill to meet these women in person.
Most of the feature dancers were very nice. XXX'er Christy Canyon got all excited when I brought a big stack of mags for signing, saying I was "a big fan"! A Hustler July 1996 model named Kimber Leigh (blonde with red shoes in the layout) was amazed that I showed her a subscription copy of the mag that she hadn't even seen yet (I got a lap dance from her, expensive but worth it! she sincerely said she enjoyed meeting me). Kimber wanted me to give her the mag but I wouldn't (other pix of her turned up in a foreign Hustler as those overseas editions sometimes printed tamer outtakes because of local laws).
One of my favorite features was XXX chick (& Hustler model) Alicia Monet. I met her several times from '90 to '93 at Dancers on the west side (she said a local dancer stole her leather coat there!) and Babes East. At the earier meetings she was very nice. Alicia let me take many pix of her beautiful bare feet, a request that would freak out some other feature girls. But the last time (in '93) she was hostile (supposedly she has a drug problem and once ran naked through a city in Germany!). Alicia claimed I hadn't tipped her enough that nite considering all the pix she had posed for in previous years (not fair; I had paid her asking price for the photos at those prior meetings)! So I bought one Polaroid from her and left!
At an earlier (& happier) encounter Alicia Monet said I could direct her and a cute local chick in a "2 girl fantasy" photo shoot. But it would have been just topless, there at Dancers, and thinking it would be too tame I declined (now I wish I'd taken her up on the offer!).
My biggest thrill back then was taking pix of the girls by themselves. But some girls refused, fearing I would sell the pix (which I NEVER did). Those girls only allowed pix if the guy was standing next to them (I guess they figured you couldn't sell it). Usually those uncooperative chicks weren't even full-fledged models, just wannabes who had an amateur pic printed in a place like Hustler's Beaver Hunt.
Some of the not-very-nice feature girls weren't really very attractive in person. Maybe their insecurity about their looks contributed to their bitchiness? One Hustler centerfold named Topsy Curvy (I think?) refused to sign a Hustler unless I bought a lot of expensive stuff from her first. I'm no cheapskate; I never cheated a feature girl for freebies and always bought at least one (usually many) items from a feature girl. Topsy's attitude turned me off completely and I refused to buy anything but SHE was the one who walked away in a huff (and she didn't attract any other customer besides me!). Another ugly female dog (name eludes me) said I was damaging her sample mags by touching them (I wasn't!) so I walked away.
But the majority of the feature girls were sweethearts. K.C. Williams was very sweet, and like Kimber Leigh was impressed I had a mag she hadn't even seen yet (an issue of the XXX mag "Puritan"). Some other guy there didn't have any cash to pay K.C. for Polaroids so she let him trade her a bunch of dildos or other such junk! Penthouse model Natalie Bach was very nice at PT's and asked me for ideas for an upcoming video! A Penthouse Pet of the Year, Cody Carmack was also a real sweetheart and she even "accidentally" opened her panties (while flashing a suspiciously sly smile!) during a show! Cody was very creative with her dancing, costumes and music (I gave her some suggestions, don't know if she used then). Cody tried to be a legit actress & even appeared in an "Equalizer" episode!
What ended the feature era in Indy? I'm guessing the clubs didn't draw any extra customers by hiring & advertising features (they used to take out lots of ads in the Star). I was usually the only guy at the feature shows who ever heard of these women & brought their mags to sign. I used to check the Star every week for feature ads. They used to run in the entertainment section but they later moved to the sports section (complaints from mothers & housewives?). Dita Von Teese told me she didn't make any money coming to Indy. It seems the clubs don't pay all that well and the features make their profits from Polaroids, 8x10's, videos, mags & expensive lap dances!
Also for me personally, meeting local providers up close & personal since the '90s took away much of the novelty of worshipping a porno chick or centerfold model from afar! I still have a huge collection of feature girl Polaroids buried somewhere so maybe I'll post the best of them here!
Where to go this afternoon?
I have a gap in my schedule today that will allow me to take advantage of the cheap beer and half price dances on Pendleton Pike. The question is do I spend the afternoon at HH where I know all the dancers or do I go to Babe's where the talent has certainly picked up (and is considerably less smoky)?
