CadillaCock, you are correct. Two of my Favs have already contacted me and asked if we could meet up OTC. I said yes to one, the other I have not decided yet, (might go around one time just to keep the contact active). I will continue going to the clubs, but won't be spending much money there, will just be fishing for new OTC contacts.

Ishmael[/QUOTE]Shit. Now Cheeters could fuck up the whole thing. The one strike rule will cover pr0 stitution as well. I hope some savvy state congressman / rep builds a loophole into the law. Between this and the licenses for massages, we could be in for some heat...
[QUOTE=BostonGuy57;1923762]I don't see a mass exodus of dancers heading out to street corners. I've been to two clubs since the story broke and two faves have already told me that if the booths go they will simply start doing OTC with their trusted regulars. It's pretty easy to get a hotel room around Providence or Warwick on Priceline for the same price as a half hour booth fee in the clubs.[/QUOTE]Bring back the Sportsman's Inn. It was genius.

Ishmael[/QUOTE]So a guy that was a partner at Cheaters years ago turns and jumps to the other team when shit hits the fan. What a hypocrite (unless he was not aware of what was going on, then he is an idiot). If he is so righteous now that he wants to comment on a online article, maybe he should have blew the whistle (unless he feared physical harm).
Guess ill have to tread lightly this week and hope I don't get picked up in a sting.
I think there is something else going on here. The city could easily pass some admin ordinance requiring anyone who works in a SC to be fingerprinted and have a photo I'd issued by some licensing agency, like a taxi driver or truck driver. Which would eliminate a lot of SC workers effortlessly, show the 'public' the city is serious and give SC owners some cover when hiring.
The selective enforcement stuff, the editorial says will happen, tends not to be good public policy. Are they really gong to target only female workers? Or have female cops give guys lap dances and see what happens?
Personally, I think its the first step to try and legalize the whole 'adult' entertainment segment, and to tax it. Its a slow process, but so was the way to legalize pot shops.

Require a birth cert as well as an ID when hiring. Better yet, use the standards they use for porn films; they are a legit industry. I want no part of minors. Even if I don't see a minor, I don't want any part of an organization that is hiring them. That type of shit brings the feds in. All fucking set. ICE works those sorts of cases and they've got a huge budget. Imagine going to the back room with a girl and some time later getting a knock at the door informing you that she was a minor. (Think Raging Bull). You had accepted a certain amount of risk because you assumed (incorrectly) that the ladies were all adults. Now you're in a fucking whole heap of trouble, possible federal concerns, registered sex offender (probably the worst level), nasty criminal record (you're a pedophile, not just a john)... It's bad news for every other SC because there will be someone out there that will want to eliminate the industry as a whole or just bring heat on the other clubs.
The powers that be that provide us with clubs, AMPs, etc need to keep the legislative noose loose enough for them to continue to earn and protect their business by checking and documenting that they are of legal age.
Just my $.02.
[quote]Or have female cops give guys lap dances and see what happens?.[/QUOTE]I would love to have some lady cop grind my junk. No thanks on the extras, just love every minute of it!!!
the state could very easily issue a photo i'd verifying age as they do for those that need a i'd but for various reasons don't have a drivers license.
but they won't for the simple reason the politicians are as corrupt as streetwalkers, no offense to streetwalkers. if a **** girl was nabbed and they had a fraudulently obtained state issued i'd you can't blame the club. but can the politicians second cousins kid from his third marriage kid who got the i'd issuing job be held at fault...? nah, not in ri.
Was feeling a little blue and thought looking at some breasts would cheer me up. Went to Desire as I didn't feel like going to Caddy for obvious reasons and most of the girls there are not my type. When I walked in, a blonde with not so well "bolt-ons" by the name of Gia was on stage. I opted to sit at the bar and observe for a bit. Another girl came on after that looked nice but as I was in the mood to watch, I just walked up and dropped 2 dollars as a courtesy. After her, a hot girl by the name of Alexandra came on stage. She looked just liked Rachel Bilson and had one of the nicest set of naturals see's I've seen and she was slim to boot (not model skinny, a healthy look). I tipped her very well to show interest and retreated to my barstool. Next girl up on stage was a dancer by the name of Lisa. She had pretty bad "bolt-ons" and had too much makeup on. I went up as a courtesy becuase no one was tipping her and her breast felt very weird to say the least. She might have been better off without getting implants IMO (I like natural and fake, but it has to be well done fake and feel and look almost natural). Went to the patio for a smoke and 2 dancers came out and they started to chat me up. One was talking to me about wierd witchcraft and superstitions, and the other seemed to be in a pissy mood smoking her cigar. I walked back in and made my presence known to Alexandra and she came over and offered a dance. Went for a nude dance (never again, waste of money most of the time IMO), and then went for another song. Odd thing was that she said I would have to pay the house again for another song and made it clear I would have to pay her for another song in a offputting tone. That didn't harsh my mellow and I enjoyed my dances and would repeat again if I had the chance.
1. I have almost never paid the house again for another song when in the booth, so that was weird.
2. I've never been told that I had to pay for another song, it's friggin obvious that I have to.
So either she was new to the strip club scene, or the clubs and the girls are making sure they are getting paid for every little thing because they are not making money with the city looking over their shoulder.

Caddy for a couple of years and now CD. Hot body, so so face, but a terrible personality. Can't imagine many repeat customers, but her body ropes in unsuspecting newcomers.

It seemed more like a jazz club with dancing and slutty waitresses.

[/QUOTE]At Desire you have to pay the $5 house dance fee on a per-song basis. Yes, it is stupid. You can pay for as many dances as you want up front and pay the entire fee but who wants to do that with a new dancer?
