Recently tried Riverside Massage formally Beautiful Life
[QUOTE=Bret M69]Hose,
Can you clarify your Beautiful Life/St. Charles/5th Street recommendation from a couple of weeks ago? (1) Are you referring to Riverside Massage at 496 S. 5th or are we going to the wrong place? (2) Did we (MkeMike and I) misinterpret you or is this a serious case of YMMV – maybe for long-term clients before the busts around the area?
I had read MkeMike's negative review last week but based on your recommendation decided to take a chance wondering if his experience was just a simple case of YMMV. I've done well so far navigating first appointments but, unfortunately, my experience (report below) wasn't any better.
Before sending this today, I re-read your post from last November that said this place is connected to Sunrise/Olive-based on that alone it surprises me that anything extra is available now.
Thanks for clarifying if you can,
B
Here's my St. Charles AMP report:
RFT display ads earlier this year advertised Beautiful Life in St. Charles using (636-xxx-0758). Now the RFT ads for the same phone number don't mention "Beautiful Life" and list the address as 496 S. 5th, St. Charles. The storefront window at that address says "Riverside Massage".
I probably should have asked for a line up as I ended up with a fugly 50 something Chinese woman. She provided a decent hard massage but there's better out there (Brenda, Annie) if that's all you are looking for. Draping was with a towel and diminished a little as the session went on but was erratic and difficult to navigate the waters. At one point based on the trend in proximity/contact I thought things might proceed a little further and then it reversed. At the end as I was leaving she aggressively asked for a tip for the hard massage, which I normally provide anyhow. If you want a great teasing massage with nothing more than self service then I think you get a better massage, more tease, and better attitude at Evergeen in Des Peres. Based on this experience, I wouldn't invest time/$ here unless there is a more promise in both provider and result.
Side note. Colleen (of Colleen's Cozy Massage Place) recently moved to Florida – her message says she may be back at the end of the year. She was on my list of potentials to try out with limited info posted on the forum but that will have to wait.[/QUOTE]On Hose's recommendation I tried Anna the older gal. She is way more aggressive and draping is minimal. At the very beginning she asked that I please tip her at the end of the rub. I said of course if you earn it. They have very limited understanding of English.
Any way the massage was really great while I was lay on my stomach. Great back work. Then on the flip I started to ask about a HE and she gave me the look. Held her hands up like they were in handcuffs. She went and got tissue paper. I proceeded and tired to at lest get her to rub the guys a little below. No can do - well finished up.
Upon leaving she stalked me outside asking for a tip. I said next time - sorry trying to make a point. I'm not sure I have the patience Hose has.
