For those looking for Kim from Ricks, she has been dancing at Sands under Heidi, but is now back as Kim.
Found some new ladies at Sands :)
I stopped in at Little Darlings the other night around 10:00. $20 to get in (10 cover + 10 unlimited soft drinks). The number of dancers was almost equal to the number of customers (about 15). $20 per song but there were a lot of 3 for $40 specials and every once in a while a complementary dances for everyone.
I won't kiss and tell so I'm not naming names. During the dance she told me to keep my hands to the side but she didn't mind me sucking her nipple. Was talked into 15 min in the Champaign room as we were waiting for my change she tells me to unzip so we can have more fun. She reached in to give me a little tug but when I got close I stopped her before I made a mess. She said not to worry that she was prepared for that but the time ended right about then. When I'm back in Seattle I'll stop in to see if anything else is available.
In search of that elusive combination of a knockout (body and face) who goes the extra mile. For me, might be all about the thrill of the search. Do I want a "sure thing" from a dancer I would rate a 7. Or attempt for the "home run" with a 9 and hope at the very least for some good dances if extras aren't to be had? Anyways, looking for recommendations based solely on looks.
While to each their own, my personal tastes are slim, flat tummy, perky breasts, small ass, gorgeous face, long hair. (ideally 5'.5'6 weighing 100-115 lbs)
In 20 years of clubbing, haven't run into very many in what I would consider the 9-10 category:
Those that would fit the category throughout the years.
Amber. Blonde from Federal Way DV about 20 years ago.
Tina or Toni. Very petite from Federal Way DV about 20 years ago (went on to pose for Swank magazine)
Heather. Brunette from Tacoma DV about 15-20 years ago.
Eve. From when Sugars was a "private" club (terrible dances though)
Summer. From Foxes about 10-12 years ago (not the Summer hard body that came later, the original girl next door looks. Long blonde hair, eventually got boob job. Also not very good dances)
Sky. From Honeys about 6-10 years ago.
Tiffany. From Ricks about 6-10 years ago.
Mary Jane. From Ricks (yep, the one with the notoriously lame dances)
Dalia. Currently at Pike DV (ok dances, no extras)
Anyways, anyone know of a current dancer I should check out, give me a hollar. Thanks in advance. TW

From talking with dancers who've worked both cities (many of our dancers spend part of the year there, especially during the "heat") , I understand Vegas clubs are geared mainly toward fleecing drunk tourists. They allow drinking, enforce minimum drinks per hour, the dance and VIP prices are much higher. Oh, and the bouncers sometimes bully customers for a tip.
Sounds like a dream vacation for a cheap bastard like me!

The times I've been in Vegas I have ended up spending much more money with little to show for it other than okay lap dances. On the other hand I've had BJ's, HJ's, full on intercourse, and even some interesting conversations at Seattle clubs on many occasions. Not with fatties or skanks, either. Vegas is a huge ripoff, IMO.
I have never been to Vegas but you can get high mileage in seattle. Naturally, it's about finding the right club, girl, and time.
I went to LD on a weekday afternoon.
The entry is $20. The hostess said they give you $10 off if you show them Westin's room key. (not sure if they do that if you are staying at one of the other nearby hotels as well)
They had 4 girls and two were hot. But as I was settling down, one of the girls went home saying that she will be back in a couple of hours (and she did)
I took Jenny to the back. She is a dirty blonde, early 20's, tall, athletic and very toned. I had great dances with lot of grinding but no stick shifting. After the first two songs, she agreed to do 6 for $100. I was wearing the right clothes and left happy after 6 songs.
I went to the hotel, are dinner and got back in with no additional entrance fee. Evening was more happening. I ran into the other hottie that l saw in the afternoon. Another 6 for $100 left me happy.

[/QUOTE]Does anyone else have a good story or experience here? I would love to try it out, but I know a lot of the DV clubs have cams in the booths.
One of the seniors sent me a PM about clothes. I thought it might help SC newbies.
Question about clothes. I Never wear jeans or cotton underwear. Girls hate jeans as their skin gets raw. Cotton keeps the moisture (you know what moisture I am talking about). I use polyethelene / synthetic underwear and really soft pants such as soft linen tommy bahama. I use a mouth freshener. I try to shower just before, definitely use a deodorant and wear synthetic shirt (that slides on your skin and her skin) and a nice perfume but not too much.
In the dark room / booth they do not care how look but they do care how you smell and feel. You want to make it easy for them to give you high mileage.
Goodbye Jiggles. It was nice while it lasted. I hope that you move up Lake City into the old 'Ricks' building. And you keep the awesome VIP couch / chairs. But I hope that you tell your dancers not to spring the cost of the dance three dances in. That kind of sucks.
Anyone been there what they think went there last night only 1 black girl there and 1 asian rest white and some mixed white and other mixed but I saw two hotties smoking lexus and marissa wow wow wow didn't get a dance there $30 a song but alot of 3 songs for $30 red light special friend got a dance and he said wow but I think I want to go there more its like 2 min from 145th and aurora your right there and theres some hookers so you leave hard and find a hooker.

My friend ended up heading to the Lake City Vu; not sure on any others. A friend over at the Dancing Bare said they haven't gotten any girls from Jiggles.
Tahoe Dan:
Lake City Vu is ok. Fri / Sat will see a lot more ladies after 10-11pm. There isn't enough privacy for high-mileage dances, even in the VIP, but with the right gal the dances can be above average. I personally like that the girls dance 3-song sets on stage. The 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 'specials' aren't really a special since they cut the songs in half or more. I've gotten a number or two for potential follow-up but the price range was at least double what you can find on a board.
Dancing Bare update: They converted half the video store into additional club space and will be relocating the stage to the front. $10 cover includes 2 drinks (2 cans, no watered down glasses). They expanded the couch dance area and that 'private viewing / dancing' room is gone (now a dressing room). I didn't stay long enough to check out the restroom. This was an afternoon trip and I only saw 3 dancers. They play entire songs during the day. Mileage was good and supposedly better before the night manager came in.

A couple of WEIRD dudes out in the porn shop where you pay, and one worked there, the other was just visiting from another dimension. So, the club part was not as horrid as I had imagined, and when a dancer who had given me good dances both at Rick's and Honey's promised me the same performance, I agreed. Now the "VIP" area wasn't that bad, but the every time the dancer started going for the goods, the stout old DJ (and I use "DJ" very loosley) kept coming in. It was a wast of time and effort, and especially $$.
Damn, I miss Rick's.
[QUOTE=Mr Ralyh;1177472]I only saw a few dancers in my short visit there. On looks alone, they were 5-7. The place is still under construction so if you're looking for Polish, skip it for now.[/QUOTE]Thanks for all the help guys. I think this place should be skipped. Stick to sands and centerfolds.
I had some time available on both Monday and Tuesday of this week and after reading through the information here I thought I would drop in at the Sands. On Monday I arrived around 3:30 PM, no cover but I had to buy a $10 drink which proved to be two drinks as you got a receipt that was good for the second drink. There were four girls dancing and around six customers in the place. Perhaps the comment about girls dancing was too kind, every once and while a girl would go on stage for one dance and then there would be period where no one was dancing. The girls would ask if you wanted a dance and I when they each told me it was $40 per song I thought I would wait to see if anyone else was going to be more reasonable. Bottom line, each girl was quoting the same rate! So after seeing all of the girls and hanging around about two hours I finally decided to make an investment in a few dances and was I ever glad I did!
I returned on Tuesday to see if I could purchase another set of dances from the same lady but at around 6 PM I was told she had already left for the day. My second choice from Monday was also about to leave, but when I requested her to stay for a few dances with me she was happy to do so, and three dances later I was very happy as well.
A number of the dancers during the day shift are from Rick's or Honey's. The evening shift on Tuesday appeared to be mostly black dancers. They encourage you to buy the lady a drink at $10. I later learned the ladies are required to 'sell' 6 drinks per shift or they must pay for them. Since one of the dancers told me this, take it for what it may be worth.
Stay safe.
Okay, so finally made it out to Sands post-Jiggles shutdown. I'd heard through the grapevine that it was a hot game in town, for mileage and for the cream of the crop of Rick's / Honey's still hanging in there.
Here's the thing: I'd only been to the Sands once before, about 3 years ago (I reviewed it here, actually) and was unimpressed. I'd gone in on a Friday or Saturday, and while the physical club was nice and well-maintained, there were very few dancers and they were all older women. I still got decent FS, but didn't go back because I could get that, or BBBJ, at Rick's at the time with a younger, hotter dancer.
Flash forward to 2011, and with Jiggles closing the Sands is one of only 3 independent clubs left; the Dancing Bare is allegedly a horrible dive, and Centerfolds is a joke of a club with piss-poor management. So I mosey into the Sands on a Tuesday night. I see on their website that they have Anya here, but she's not working. There are about 5 dancers total.
# Ambience:
The club itself is physically nice and in good repair; it looks like a newer Deja Vu, before the perpetually unwashed carpets get filthy. They don't charge cover or dick around with coming or going in and out, but you do have to buy a $10 drink (with a free refill) so that's basically the cover.
The stage show is intermittent; they'll have 3-4 dancers in a row then breaks of several songs in between, likely because they have so few dancers. The DJ is basically non-existent; he "DJ'ed" for a song or two, but after that the next dancer would DJ before going up herself. That's. Weird. Also, the songs are basically full length but they don't bleed from one to the next, and there is an incredibly awkward silence for 30 seconds in between songs, which they seem to pick from the jukebox by the bar. If you're talking to a dancer, as soon as the song ends EVERYONE can hear you. Be aware of that.
The "lady drinks" thing is annoying as fuck. If a dancer sits by you, or even takes you to the VIP, the lady manager follows asking about "buying the lady a drink". SexyTina who was there (from tnaboard. Com and jiggles) said that basically, for every drink they sell, they get $6 off rent, so "It really helps us out!" Shut the fuck up. You want financial assistance? Then dance for me and make it awesome; if you dance like a pro, you'll do well enough that the $6 'commission' is irrelevant. I'd think any self-respecting dancer would prefer to have a flat rate rent, as opposed to a side-gig as soda saleswoman.
# Dancers:
Okay, so on to the dancers themselves, and their dances. The girls have colluded so they all only offer $40 dances. I didn't bother trying to lowball because I only got one dance each from 2 different girls before leaving. The dancers weren't too bad- Centerfolds still takes the cake with basically cryptkeeper-like ancient dancers- although no one was amazing.
One is SexyTina from TNAboard. Com who briefly worked at Jiggles (had low mileage dances there, despite being a provider outside of the club). I didn't even dance with her at the Sands; she approached me but her attitude was. Off. I'd never seen her as a provider, and only once at Jiggles before it closed, but she sat down and just talked and talked, negative attitude, telling me how Seattle people suck, blah blah blah. Wow. Way to put me in the mood. No interest, although given that the one time I'd seen her at Jiggles she was low mileage- again this girl is or at least was a PROVIDER who had sex for money- I don't think I missed out.
I had an intel source tell me to look for Milla (late 30's, somewhat curvy, long black hair) who was there, and while she had killer red lipstick that I foolishly hoped meant "Oral queen", based on my one $40 dance (where she'd lift up her bikini, my hand would reach for tit, and she'd promptly pull the bikini down) I didn't explore further. The intel source said she was low mileage at Rick's when he knew her, but that she also got arrested for prostitution at one point. But from what I can tell, very low mileage dancer.
The other person I danced with was Alana, a slender dancer from Turkey. Decent enough bod, but her dances were also very low mileage and minimal contact. There's no passion there, although she lightly touched my dick through my sweats, and it felt mechanical as hell. She oddly told me that the daytime dancers are super hot. Wow, that's odd- usually it's the nighttime girls who are hot, and I've never heard a dancer say basically "You should come when I'm not around, you'll enjoy it more".
Also had this amusing exchange, after the first dance ended:
Her: Shall I keep going?
Me: Well, where do we go from here?
Her: What do you mean? What are you looking for?
Me: Well. Oral for starters.
Her: Well, the dances get better the more you get, but I don't get crazy.
Me: Thank you very much, here's your $40.
I had a somewhat similar experience with Milla but didn't bother asking her for extras; her poor dancing and my hints of "Where do we go from here" or "What more can we do?" were rebuffed without even acknowledging what I was asking for, so I didn't press.
# Pros:
Good looking club. No cover, although your first drink is $10 with a free refill, so. Cover is $10.
Reasonably private VIP; no patrolling managers, although the open seating means you aren't as private as at the awesome Jiggles or even Rick's.
Hey, there's a pool table!
# Cons:
Bathrooms have doorless stalls. Seriously, you low-rent jackals at Sands and Centerfolds: make usable bathrooms. The fuck is your problem?
Apparently low mileage, which is inexcusable when the signs say "$20 dance" and all the dancers collude to 'start' at $40.
The "lady drinks". Just charge them a flat rate on rent, you jackals!
This place is out there; Ballard is rather remote, and for the time it took to get there and back, it just isn't worth the trek out.
# Summary:
Overall, the Sands was a disappointment: it's reputation used to be "super high mileage, a touch pricey, but the women will be older". Now the mileage seems to be gone, so. What's the point? Unless a vet PMs me a specific day to show up, for a specific dancer, this "$40 near-air dance" is not going to work for me. For $40 / dance, they should be the best of Rick's on display, not tired women who can't figure out that with the low foot traffic, getting a steady customer base is your only hope- and your product as it is now is pretty lousy.
[QUOTE=Tacomang;1149545]I have never been to Vegas but you can get high mileage in seattle. Naturally, it's about finding the right club, girl, and time.[/QUOTE]What are the best places for that these days? I used to love Rick's.
Huge Kudos to you, Ricksfan, for that epic report.
The Sands always reminded me of the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks. A place to feel bored or afraid. They've always done that drinks hustle; it's their signature scam.
The situation is bad now, but it'll change. City regimes come and go. Also, the clubs are in a transition period. Someone will meet the demand eventually.
Strip clubs are always kinda hit or miss but being a regular helps. I liked Sands more in it's seedier squalid past.
The Sands is not the place to watch many girls dance on stage. It takes an investment of $ in clubs to determine if the dancer will provide what you seek and you need to be aware if you're being strung on.
$40 is a ridiculous price for a basic dance to me. Some girls are open to negotiate and others don't.
I had some excellent dances from Tina when she was at Jiggles. Nothing high mileage but comparable to the best $20 Ricks ever had.
Tried this place out Sunday afternoon. From the parking in the front and on both sides, it looked like this place was lively. Unfortunately, all that parking must have been people from the bars on both sides of this strip club. There was maybe 3 dancers, and only one other partron.
The stage was empty most of the time, I ended up just watching one of the TVs on the wall. Got a dance from Kris, who was from Ricks. A lot of good grinding, and she was significantly hotter than the other two dancers. No extras.
They have a lamp on the table in the VIP section that brightens up the whole area. I'm not a fan of that lamp.
Let me preface by saying this is my first post AND I remember the days of Ricks. What a little slice of heaven. After I moved away and came back, I found it was shutdown. Much to my dismay. Knowing I wouldn't find a similar experience anywhere near as cool as Ricks, I still wanted to try my luck to see how desperate the girls were down at LD and Sands. I work near LD so it was an easy stroll down there. Once I got in, it seemed like most of the hotter chicks were hanging out near the bar area. As soon as I sat down, several girls came up and asked me if I wanted a dance. Of course I waited for that very special "one" to come by and when she did I accepted without hesitation. She was smokin hot. Had a great body and was all about letting my tongue wander wherever it would, though I'm not into sticking my tongue in strippers' kooters. Anyway, after inquiring about a little extra, I could tell it was a NO GO.
A few weeks later at Sands, a very young, attractive, thin girl gave me a dance worth paying for. Though, when the dance came to an end, she was very quick to ask if I wanted extra. I said yes and she said it would cost me 10 songs. Damn, sweetie, you're hot but not that hot! By the time we had been done negotiating, another song had gone by and by this time she was asking for more $. I refused and she got all huffy, hopped off me and ran to the management. I got out quickly, but WTF are they going to do? Kick my ass? Try it.
Something to look out for:

Anyone been down to Club Sin Rock
[url]http://clubsinrock.com/seattle-strip-club[/url]
Lately?
Driving past this place all the time, looks like they're always busy. Expected that this would be THE club in town with the others closing, but I thought wrong. It must be a Corporate club too, since it's all way too pricey there.
First off, unless there's a convention in town, this place will never be full. Kind of awkward too with how big it is and all the extra space. The girls were hot enough, a good enough selection when I went on a weekend night, but still not nearly as busy or exciting as I thought it would be. One reason might be the female's themselves. Some of them were friendly and cool enough, but others had some seriously crappy attitudes and chased the $$$$ worse than the most ambitious Rick's girl did. What reason is there to stay in a club after getting that "Well fuck you" look from a dancer just because you don't get a dance from them right off the bat.
Bouncers are douches, and the "manager" walking around doing absolutely nothing at least gave something to laugh at. Regretted going in there after I left, and wished I had visited Jiggles while it was open. This city doesn't really have anywhere to go anymore. Sin Rock was way better and easier on the wallet, but it's all the way down in downtown Renton. Not really a place most of us would be before or after visiting that club.
Now if they could only just build some clubs at each of the Indian casinos in the area, it would make weekends so much better and easier due to gas prices these days.
What else would be better than eating some good food, playing some table games, hitting the club, then if things don't work out, heading over to a newly built strip club at Snoqualmie?
So from various news sources, it looks like a couple news clubs will be popping up in the very near future.
Pandora's Cabaret. In Wedgewood, used to be an old Chinese restaraunt.
Black Pearl. On the Mukilteo Speedway right next to Paine field. Suppose to open in July.
Not to mention the old Ricks location is up for auction next week, and may potentially reopen as a new strip club.
Hi,
For some reason I don't see any posts here on Deja Vu on 1st Ave.
Can anyone give some details about Lily?
So I went to check out the new Pandora's club in Lake City. They still don't have their sign up outside, though it's pretty easy to spot as you drive by, it's right next to the Shanty Tavern.
Cover charge is $10 and drinks are $5. Inside they've got two stages, referred to as the "North Pole" (main stage) and "South Pole" at opposite ends of the club. The center area is full of the usual small tables and chairs, and along one wall are the VIP chairs.
The place was not extremely busy for a Saturday night, possibly because of lack of a sign or advertising, possibly also because of the Bite of Seattle. Still, business was steady, maybe 20 dancers and about the same number of customers. Dancers were pretty attractive although I didn't see any stunners, with a variety of races represented. I don't recall seeing any Asians though. Several of the girls said they had worked at Rick's but none that I remember specifically. All the dancers I talked to were friendly without being pushy. Dances started at $20, as well as $30, $40, or 3-for-$100 offered by different girls.
The chairs in the VIP are such that there is decent mileage to be had. I had dances with 4 different girls and all were very accommodating, and I left the club with no complaints. I hope this new club does well, I think it will make a worthy successor to Rick's.
LD: Same old same old. This place must have an extensive change room because most of the time the place is empty until there's a house dance. I thought there were < 6 dancers and then bam. 15! A cutie blonde spinner with tats was sweet but nothing extra. FYI, Briana Blair will be doing a couple shows this Fri / Sat.
Pandora's: Two Ravens summed it up nicely. The place definitely has the old Rick's / Sugar's feel; the tables, chairs, couch benches, dance booths, lighting, and even the drink glasses seemed a carbon copy. There was a good assortment of dancers but being midweek not a ton of customers which surprised me since the parking lot was full. If this place picks up on the weekends, expect to park elsewhere and walk over. I'd assume the Shanty Tavern next door will crack down on folks. I only opted for a couple of dances. The manager makes regular patrols.
Rick's: A dancer at LD mentioned that Dreamgirls is reopening the old Rick's. It's a bit sad that the place will 'go corporate' but nice to see it's going to be used for something. I saw a Dreamgirls sign on the building after my trip to Pandora's. Three clubs on Lake City Way? Quite a boom. Let's see how this works out.
During my visit, I stopped by two clubs. Little Darlings and Pandora.
Little Darlings is apparently a Deja Vu club and does look nice on the inside. Its a smaller club inside and has the one main stage, you pay 20 to get in, which includes unlimited soft drinks. You're going to get hit up for the buy a girl a drink bullshit, which gets old. I went on a Friday night, about 11pm, there was a pretty good selection of girls there, probably a dozen or so. I lucked out, I was sitting down for no more than 2 mins when they had a 'free dance' special, complete with a free couch dance in the back, not much on the mileage, but better than nothing. I did manage to get 2 dances of the paid variety, they were okay. Hands werent really free to roam and no extras were to be had. Overall, not a bad club if you like to look, but that's about it.
Pandora on the other hand was not a good experience at all. I get there, pay the 10 cover and have a seat. I made the mistake of going to get a 30 dance very early on with a black dancer named 'Exotica' who wasn't overly attractive but seemed like she'd be fun in the back. Well, get in the back and its as advertised, she does her best through the pants work, the songs kinda run together and then the trouble starts. She of course has been stroking me the whole time and she gets the job done and when she does, she starts freaking out, saying I'm going to owe her 150 total for that. Of course, that isn't happening. I spend the next few minutes fighting off the shakedown and her threats of getting the mgr blah blah. So I peaced out. Too bad, though, some of the others were pretty good looking. Either avoid Exotica or avoid the club altogether.
Anybody try the reopened Rick's? A friend told me it owned by the Vu? Hope not as then it would probably be lame. Any reports?
Went in around 9 PM on a Thurs night and there were about 5 dancers working but it quickly picked up and by 10-10:30 there were around 20 dancers with a variety of body types, ages and ethncities. 19 to 40 yo, petite and thick, white, brown and black. The place is friendly and I always feel comfortable here. The staff is friendly and casual. The place is clean. Free street parking is easy to find. I always get a pass and so the cover is a reasonable $10. There is one stage and the girls dance for two songs. Lap dance booths are in the back, and there are several champagne rooms for $150/15 min, $275/30 min. Dances are $20.
The club is relatively small with tables / cushy chairs and wall seats around the edges up against the walls. I generally take one of the wall seats because then when a girl comes to talk with me we its easier to talk / hear and a little more intimate.
When I was there this night there was a free dance where all the girls got on stage and then fanned out, picking off customers. I got one from a hot blonde named Jewels who told me "I give the best dances in this club." I was skeptical of course since that's a frequent sales line. She wasn't kidding however. I had a great time with her. The free dance was followed up quite nicely with a 2 for 3 dance. So I got 4 awesome dances from her for only $40. She's a hot blonde with a big ass and great attitude.
I also had some very enjoyable and satisfying dances from Katalina and Kylee. And also Honey and Belial.
By 11 to 11:30 the place was packed with maybe 25 to 30 girls working the small club. Quite the partay.
It was amateur night and I got asked to judge 4 dancers. Three were quite clearly amateurs but the other appeared quite the pro with a variety of advanced pole moves.
All in all a very enjoyable night and I look forward to heading back.

The last time I was at a strip club was in May of 2011, when I wrote a review of Centerfolds which can be found on a similar site (I'd written a review of the Sands that I posted to here as well). I haven't been back to this, or any, club since and had basically "retired" from the club scene. However, some of the fellow super-pervs who know my handle from other sites started telling me that Centerfolds had really improved. I finally made it out this weekend to check things out. And, well. A few months away have seen things really improved!
First, I got extremely lucky: when I walked in to pay at the front desk, one of my old favorites from Rick's, Mason, was just leaving- but she saw me and went back so we could hook up. Hard to believe it's been a year and a half since Rick's closed; I won't go into a blow-by-blow detail, but suffice to say her dances even exceeded what I used to get back when I saw her at Rick's! It was good catching up with her, and she told me similarly to what I'd heard through the grapevine that some of the dancers from Rick's / Honey's are still around, and seem to be working here.
I went in on a Saturday afternoon around 4:30 or so, and while there were only about 4 women working, and only one I recognized (Mason) , they were okay and seemed friendly enough; I got a couple of dances from a "Kisha" (thin, dreadlocks) before taking off, but no one was high pressure or pushy. Plus, and perhaps more importantly, the facilities were not the shambles I recall. And that's what's nice about Centerfolds now compared to my last visit: the owner (Mark?) finally got his act together sometime in the last few months, because the main floor looks pretty good!
First, the back wall, opposite the stage, finally has high back booths, and likewise the dance area just to the left of when you walk in is also revamped with very high back booths. The main floor has the Deja Vu style club seats, two to a table, and the stage looks decent. There's also a big TV just to the right of the stage, which was great to watch some football on. The bathroom is still, ugh, but at least there's a door on the stall, and it wasn't unstocked. But the lack of a door on the bathroom itself is ghetto. That's really the only knock left on the place: the stage is laid out okay, the booths are plentiful, new, and high-backed, and the lighting is the right level of dim.
Mason also told me that the VIP area- where if you read my last review from the last time I was here, I snuck in with my stripper friend to get blown mightily, but where the manager kept sneaking a peek- is being redone, to be more private. She's optimistic that it'll be popular, as when it was open before most dancers would take guys back: there's more privacy apparently now.
The other big plus to Centerfolds is that the managers were not prowling, at least during the day times. It was very slow- but not necessarily in a bad way, as it seems like this club is now (like the Sands apparently is) the kind of place you go when you *know* who you want to go see. It sounds like the owner is finally figuring out how to get people to not be weirded out by the interior and thus to stay once in the door- and apparently the rent is reasonable for the dancers, and there are no nitpicky managers (on day shift). Now if we can see more dancers, and thus more customers, and thus more dancers. We can all but resurrect the Rick's of old.
Now that the facilities are much improved, I'd really like to see two things to really bump Centerfolds up to a high level:
1) The bathroom still needs work- just the one stall, it has a door, but the bathroom itself does not.
2) Something, anything, that can be done about the parking. The sad fact is there isn't really a good place to park when you come out to Centerfolds- or to the Sands- but I don't know if the owner can do much. It just makes it inconvenient, since you have to park elsewhere on the street and then walk up, sweat pants all but announcing to everyone you pass "I am a sick pervert going to a strip club!".
Yet all in all, a highly successful trip to Centerfolds: walked in and immediately saw an old friend, and was happily entertained my entire time there. I will be back soon enough.
I was able to return to the Sands 2 times over the last couple of weeks. My usual fave. Blair. Only shows when she wants to so I was looking for someone else to fit the bill. Got a fantastic set of dances from Unique. African American dancer, short, and well built (like Blair) but was best about her was her overall friendliness.
This is a nice girl who enjoys her work.
Tonight I dropped by unfortunately as Unique was leaving. I chose Marilyn, a classic tall all American blond. She was sweet but only low mileage 40 dances were on offer. She was very upfront about it and did not upsell or bait and switch. If classic gentlemen's club lapdances are your thing I recommend Marilyn highly.
