Nice and Warm at CTM. . .
It had been two years since my one and only visit to this Springfield spa (wasn't so good back then! ). Made my return mid-afternoon today after seeing some nice reviews regarding the current providers.
In short, great stay! The interior of the facility was very nice.- clean and tidy. I spent my hour with Sara who was absolutely terrific. She is a real doll and extremely pleasant to talk to. The massage I received was firm (but gentle) and very relaxing. One of the best stays I've had at an AMP. I would definitely go back.
There is a "Sakura" born every minute. . .
I had received some good comments regarding Sakura so I decided to run down there this afternoon around 1PM to check it out for myself.
I arrived, rang the door bell and was greeted by Lana, my provider. I thought I had arrived in Dreamsville! Probably in her 40s (always hard to tell) and she was curvy in all the right places. Hallelujah!
She led me to my room where I requested an hour stay and table shower. The facility was below average in my opinion. The spas in FC are much nicer in terms of the condition of the facility.
Anyway, I think I paid $70 (I was a little distracted by Lana's assets). Lana came back and told me the shower was not available (something to do with the cold weather?). Regardless, I told her that was fine so I assumed the position on the table. She proceeded to give me a nice massage but used a towel.
Thirty minutes later (30 minutes might be generous), to my disappointment we were done. Hadn't I just paid for an hour? I hid my disappointment, decided to be gracious because Lana was someone I would like to come see again. I got dressed, left her a tip, told her how much I enjoyed the massage and hoped to see her again soon.
As a result, I decided to zip up to Springfield and visit CTM which I reviewed below.
Another Great Time At The Bay
I had another even better experience with Ms. Koko. The TS was excellent and thorough with tons of hot water, the massage very relaxing with excellent customer service. Standard fee's. Koko is very quickly becoming an ATF.
Stay safe.
Am I missing something here?
I decided to give the NOVA AMPs a shot and at each one. I was highly disappointed. I first went to SunStar and the lady was short and old but not ugly. I just don't find paying for it worth it. I then went to Enliven and the lady there was even older but had a taller and slender build which would have made her prime meat twenty years ago. I then checked out Rainbow and good God that lady was very ugly. She looked like one of those headmistress villains you find in children's books. What keeps these places in business especially since they only provide HJ normally?
CL Massage - (202 )352-1309*****MARRINA
"Hot Hand Massage from Beautiful Asian Lady" Is the title.
Wayward One has, on at least one occasion in the past, been unable to determine in his quarterly summary whether my review of a provider was positive or negative. In order to avoid any possible misinterpretation, this review is NEGATIVE.
Went off the reservation and decided to try a private label massage rather than an establishment. Did a little research, and this one seemed to fit the bill.
Crappy basement room of crappy S. Arlington hovel. "Beautiful Asian Lady". Maybe her soul, I don't know. Or maybe 30 years ago. I have been trying since I got there to come up with her age, and I've decided if it's less than 50 I'm shocked. Probably mid- to- upper, in fact. Frankly, I couldn't believe she was the actual provider and not just Ajima.
Paid for an hour, standard rate. The whole experience was 30 min at the max. On the flip, she began negotiating and immediately trying to get 50% more than standard for NOVA finish, with the use of a sob story. But market is market, I held firm. In spirit, and monetarily. But she went to work very mechanically and quickly, and now I had to look at her, so firmness elsewhere was difficult to obtain / maintain. With enough time and some extensive use of imagination, however, success was eventually achieved.
A minor, and in no way compensating, plus was that the massage itself (what little there was) was firm and her hands were strong. She went after and actually found and fixed some knots.
Won't do that again. And I wouldn't recommend to anyone else. She did offer a 4-handed massage for 1. 5, I never did get to see who the other 2 hands belonged to. Frankly, I was looking to get out of there.
Jeez, given my earlier in the week wrestling match and today's geriatric experiment, I think I'm going to stick to watching Skinemax while burning a small stack of 20s for a while.
You don't have to go to New Orleans
. To celebrate Mardi Gras
Tuesday evening out running errands and decided to see my ATF MMS at my ATF spa. Angie away, so instead I am introduced to a new friend (Joanne).
We exchanged pleasantries, confirmed the hour, paid the house and then off to the TS.
Its been a month since the table in the shower disappeared.- but now there is a chair. I hated the chair. Standing (as I did on my last three visits) was much more comfortable, convenient and fun. Not sure how her skills would rate if the TS actually involved a table.- but, cleaner than when I went in, we returned to the room at the end of the hall.
I've been here before when it was quiet.- but it was REALLY quiet this Tuesday night.- could hear all the ladies talking happily. No phone and no door bells.
Laid down on the table, and Joanne gave a reasonable massage. I've had better (especially last time).- but, I've had similar and worse.- If I liked to give a lot of direction I am sure she would have pushed harder, worked more on the shoulders, etc.
Must have been an electric power problem as the light went dimmer, I started dreaming. Pleasant time.- recommend the place, and I think if Joanne stays it is likely I'll see her again.
Always be nice to the ladies.

Beware Suspicious Posters
[QUOTE=Guitarman1]I see someone padding their post count, posting snippets of useless nonsense in order to get their post count up. Their history doesn't show any real detailed reporting.
I really hope everyone actually reads the reporting from someone before deciding to share any info with them.[/QUOTE]This is a real concern. We all would love to share great experiences we have had but we don't want to end up punishing the providers by having them arrested.
This is supposed to be a harmless hobby. Let's try to keep it that way.
