Chrissy and Bow Tie Massage
Chrissy, who used to offer the Lomi Lomi massage, is now working at Bow Tie massage in the Dova. My understanding is that there are no extras. Dang it!
Bow Tie Massage vs. Ocean Spa
I had an interesting weekend. I finally got to go to the brand, spanking, new Bow Tie Massage, and yes I saw Chrissy of Lomi, Lomi fame in the building, but she did not massage me.
So here are the points:
1. The place is actually clean.
2. The steam shower / sauna is great! They allowed me to take a shower first.
3. There are plenty of clean towels and nice clean robes.
4. The staff is friendly.
5. An African-American lady massaged me, and it was okay, like bottled water on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. It was very lackluster. She was more concerned about NOT touching my penis than actually getting into my hamstrings.
6. BUT, the undisputed highlight of the entire experience was the quote, unquote "hot tub time machine. " That tub is big and addictive. I got about 15 minutes to soak in it.
7. They finish you with a piece of cake and some tea.
The hot tub time machine is the bomb-diggity, especially if you have a lady that can go in there with you. The damage was about $120.
On round 2 of my weekend, I found myself in Cordova sweaty and smelly after a long day at work. I was too lazy to travel down to the Q, so I dropped by Ocean Spa for the table shower.
I saw some nice looking, young Asian ladies working there. Unfortunately for me, the place was so packed that the housemother ended up massaging me.
And believe it or not, she actually did a pretty good job on me teasing my family jewels relentlessly.
She gave me a wonderful table shower. To quote the great King Jaffe Joffer played by the great James Earl Jones from the all-time classic movie "Coming to America:" I was taken to the table shower room and "BATHED THOROUGHLY. ".
Now I did not receive a happy ending, but I did get a "my glass is half full, not half empty" ending not quite what I wanted but still more than I bargained for, so I might return.
Glad Memphis AMPs Have Switched to Tipping at the End
Only place that was open on the 4th was the Q. I haven't been there in a while, so I got asked a few times if I was a first timer. Other than that I got a nice massage, by a sweetheart. 80 +40 tip, and she didn't whine about the money.
I remember the policy at these places was for you to get off the table pull out your money before the fun started. What a buzz killl.
