[QUOTE=CaliScorpio;2894303]If you're a fan of Katie, you have until the end of this month to see her. She's sold the shop and is moving out of state. Over the past couple of years, she's been my go to MT when I needed a theraputic massage and relaxing finish. Wish her all the best with her new opportunity.[/QUOTE]Any idea who is taking over the shop?

I feel bad for these women, they are probably in constant fear of LE, deportation, and now they have to worry about scumbags robbing them. I hope that they catch this jerk. SaintChuck.

Well I remember just a few weeks ago there was a lot of talking on this forum about how this new girl almost made us laugh with all her "conditions " and excessive prices asking for a ton of money and not even willing to see anybody past 45 years old. Here is an "old ad" to prove it.

And after a couple weeks since she is not "fresh meat" any more, plus all the competition in the area (offering more and for less $$ I can imagine her clientele just started to decline and guess what? Her "conditions" are not mention on her new ads (so if you are over 45 years old I assume she would see you, LOL) and better than that she has dropped her prices "for good" LOL! And here is her brand new ad which the Title reads "change donations".

The ad stated that she only saw men between the ages of 18 and 40. Her price was $$ for an hour massage and it clearly stated that FS was NOT an option. I guess that little thing called reality came and bit her on the ass. Her phone probably wasn't ringing off the hook with a bunch of guy's in their 20's wanting to spend $$ to get a HJ from her.

On the shorter side, 50 ish, a little frumpy. She had on a low top dress. Any time I see a lot of exposed leg I get hopeful but in this case I was hoping for too much. Didn't end happy so I only left a small tip.

She invited me to come back and visit the other girl but not sure if I will.

I know there has been talk on here about her but nobody has confirmed of they actually scheduled apt with her. I called her and something seemed off. She kept trying to get me to say things about money and services. Felt like Possible LE but I'm not sure. I ended up not going through with it.

Hahahahaha. I can't.

[QUOTE=Piemaster;2856732]I had a dream that involved her. It wasn't a terrible dream, but not a good one either. It was a overly exhaustive process to even meet. She had a "manager", a big girl, that I wouldn't consider poking. It was an up-sell from the start. I opted for BBBJ, at the high rate of. 7, which included full nude play. She was into it, while her manager waited in the bathroom, essentially listening in for her moment and when I asked about full service while she was going down on me, Kool-Aid man busted out of the bathroom with the up-sell. It was awkward and too high, so I declined.

The event continued and she was into it and even talked dirty to get me to finish. At which point Kool-aid man busted out again asking for a tip. Instead of arguing or starting a fight, I gave the requested. 10 tip and promptly left.

I have since had negotiations mentioning the excessive rate, with no success.

Overall, I liked playing with her tits and pussy, it was a 7/10 BBBJ while I fingered her, but with the. 8 total I doubt I'll dream about that again.

Since Crystal Lake has turned into a dry hole and Bamboo has become less than a sure thing, I went back to Gilberts last week. Set appointment and met with Emily.

I have also seen several good reports about World Spa on Algonquin Rd. A few weeks ago I paid a visit to the place in Gilberts and I didn't find it to be all that great. I had a girl named Summer who thought that she was some kind of princess and that I should just throw money at her. She wasn't that good looking and had a bad attitude. If Gilberts had a decent staff that place would be a gold mine because it is very nice inside. It is just as nice as any legit spa that women would go to. I would make a return trip if I see reports that they have some new staff. SaintChuck.

I had summer too. Same experience as SaintChuck. Too far a drive for me to make without knowing there is better talent. Emily sounds like same old average to me.

Again these ladies push for $130 on the flip for a total of $200.

Are any of you guys actually paying this? I just said okay then give me $100 back and got the standard ok but next time you pay $120. I pay the $100 because for $20 more then an apartment you get an actual massage.

I pay a reasonable tip that I want to pay. If they agree, then we have a deal. If not I usually tip for massage only.

I totally went off the grid and tried Korean (not usually my thing). Drew Young.

When it comes to extras, hold your ground and don't give in. A few weeks ago in Gilberts the girl wanted. 6 for a standard handshake. I told her no way, I would never pay that much and then I told her she could just finish the massage. After a few minutes she realized that I wasn't going to cave in and she ended up taking her shirt off and giving the handshake. I always wondered when the girls give the "next time you pay more" line, do they actually think that you are going to come back. Like you are suppose to come back next week with a stack of cash and say "look honey, I brought a bunch of cash with me today. " Since I have stopped giving in to their demands, I have never had even 1 girl deny extras because I wouldn't pay the high price that they asked for. The girls know that your. 4 is better than the. 1 you might leave them, and most of them will come down from the. 6 price fairly quick. SaintChuck.

Nothing worse than having to get off the table and dig thru your pants to fish out a few hamiltons. Too many other options out there to have to play that game.

On Thursday evening I had some free time and decided to visit Blackjacks, as I hadn't been there for over five years. Upon pulling in, the person assigned to lot security said it's three dollars to park, plus $13 for admission; he further said there's no alcohol, but I didn't care about that last part since I was there to see the ladies. Still a $16 initial hit makes you wonder whether or not to proceed. But proceed I did, as I was keen on updating what I knew about the club. What happens is that the lot security fellow takes you inside to the cashier, who then processes both the cover charge and the lot fee.

So once inside I ordered a Diet Coke at the bar: $4 + $1 tip; one should note that their kitchen is open until midnight. Apparently without the burden of the liquor license the club is free to offer both topless and nude dances. I was first approached by Evie, a tall statuesque blonde, about 5'9" or so. I said I would wait, whereupon she advised that there was going to be a club-wide special coming up in a few minutes: topless dances would be 2 for $50 and nude dances would be 2 for $80. (Regular prices are $30/ dance for topless and $50/ dance for nude.) So then via special announcement the DJ called all the women to the stage and, after they were presented, they filtered out into the crowd.

Before Evie got to me, Ariana, a well-endowed Latina with a tight body, approached and asked if I'd like a dance. This time I said yes, and I went for the 2 for $50 topless. I had a lot of fun in the VIP area; Ariana had great dancing skills and was very kind. After the dances are over, one follows the dancer to the cashier where payment is made; I elected to go home as I had somewhere to be shortly thereafter. On my way out, I saw Evie and said that I'd have to catch her next time. Side note: there's one Latina lady who offered back massages for $10. I declined. (If I had more time, I would have like to sampled the one or two African-American dancers, as my tastes run that way.).

Total damage: $3 parking + $13 cover + $4/ drink (and $1 tip) + $50 for two dances = $71 total. I'm still not sure about the value proposition here, as upfront costs seemed a bit high; the dances seemed high as well (in that the regular and discounted prices for topless dances were $30/ song and $25/ song, respectively). At least the DJ didn't cut the songs short. I'm thinking the Mannheim Rd clubs in Melrose Park might be the better deal, or, if one wishes to make the trip, to head out to Bigfoot in Rockford (on which see my post in that forum for a visit on Friday, 6/3.), but then one has to keep in mind the cost of gas.

For example, I fail to understand the need to charge for parking as they seemed to have plenty of it and the club isn't in a dense urban environment where space is at a premium.

SaintChuck: I agree it's good to have these forums where we can share and so that folks don't have to repeat the experiences of others (or, if they have exceptionally fat wallets, they can repeat such experiences).

SaintChuck, clear your inbox. Your PM is full.

[QUOTE=SaintChuck;2941588]I can't believe this dump is still open. I remember about 15 years ago I had a buddy that alway's wanted to meet up there. Once in a while I would meet him up there for a beer. After a while they started that crap where it was 2 dollars for parking. Every time I went there I made sure that I had a ziplock bag with 20 dimes in it, the guy would get furious. One night I walked out to my truck and he must have spit on my window like 100 times while I was in the club. I didn't care because I was done with the dump anyway. Right about the time I stopped going, they had a Mexican girl dancing and she was about 6 or 7 months pregnant. Very classy place. SaintChuck.[/QUOTE]

Wish we had more reviews on strip clubs on here- of course most of the ones in Chicago are terrible. I'm in the minority on here as I'm one of the few who likes to hit strip clubs provided they don't charge insane prices. Many of the guys on here view them as a waste- that's fine to each their own. I have no idea why Blackjacks charges for parking. Not to go off on a tangent here but Vegas is having their own parking controversy as MGM is now charging customers to park at all of its properties in Vegas which is complete bs. Locals get a reprieve until end of the year. A lot of people including myself are infuriated at it and are boycotting all of their casinos. It just makes no sense. You can only put so many straws on a camels back before it breaks or in this case says screw you and goes elsewhere. Even the vips are ticked off at the principle of it even though they can afford it. Businesses don't get it that once you lose a customer- whether it's a casino, strip club, restaurant, etc. it becomes damn near impossible to bring them back. They'll spend their money elsewhere and get into a new routine.
