Eden: about as bad as it gets
Let's put Eden out of business!
I went a few years ago and wasn't impressed, but figured that, as Tucson's only nude club, it had a purpose. Last night I went for a second time. I had an itch to stare lovingly at pussies, something that is almost always not possible at Tucson's other clubs.
I arrived a bit after 9 pm. The doorman warned me there were only two dancers and a one drink minimum before he collected my $12 cover. He said the second dancer was in the dressing room and would "be out soon. Actually, she's probably out now", he concluded. I went in. No dancer on stage. I got my drink ($6. 25, bringing my cost of admission to $19 after I put my 75 cent change in the tip jar) and took a seat at the stage. One song. Two songs. The bartender walked around, putting candles on tables, wearing a very sexy outfit showing amazing butt cheeks. Turns out that was the highlight of the night. Three songs. During all of these a dancer is sitting with a patron in one of the two-seater alcoves that line the walls. During the fourth song she walks to the dressing room. Fifth song the DJ announces, yes, a dancer! For two songs! Out she comes, to the stage.
If you've been there, you know the stage is shaped like a figure eight, with a pole in the middle of each end. There's a dozen of us sitting around the stage, and the patron the dancer was sitting with is still in the alcove. She walks to the far end of the stage and motions to all of us at the other end to join her there, and we do. Ten or so people (including two couples) around that end, and the guy from the alcove moves to the now-empty end. The dancer begins some pole work on our end -- and I will give her credit; her pole work was excellent -- and the lighting goes to a strobe effect. First song ends. She's still got her top and bottom on. Second song begins and the top comes off. More pole work. Then she goes top the other end of the stage, to the guy she was sitting with, picks up the handful of ones he's put on the stage and while looking at all of us on the other end, flauntingly drops them around her, whips off her bottoms, and gives the guy a good closeup. Then she comes back down to our end, does more pole work, and as the song is finishing moves closer to the edge of the stage at two places, getting within a couple of feet of some of us for a few seconds. The strobe effect is still on, making it difficult to see anything.
Song ends. She collects her bills -- probably at least 20 in total -- and goes off to the dressing room. The DJ says something about table dance music for the next few songs, making it clear there'll be no dancer for a while.
Me and a few others got up and left.
Eden bills itself as Tucson's only nude club. I had a 3 second glimpse of a pussy with strobe light illumination in over 20 minutes, and it appeared it would be another 10-15 before there would be another opportunity.
Let's boycott this place. It doesn't deserve another cent.
Question about club demographics?
Back in town after an extended leave from Tucson. Swung by Tens last week and noticed very different vibe than how it was just a few years ago. Seems to have hired mostly Latina and black dancers, and targets The hip Hop crowd now, which isn't my scene.
Was hoping users could update me about each clubs target audience and dancer makeup?
