[QUOTE=SpacemanSpiff;4938298]When I was in the area last month, I was saddened to see Icon in ruins. It was always a reliable place for a blowjob.
Do they know how it started? And more to the point will they be back? Unfortunately I wouldn't expect a hole-in-the-wall type place like that to have insurance, but I'd like to be surprised.
Spaceman Spiff.[/QUOTE]That's funny because I was thinking the exact opposite. That it might have burnt down FOR the insurance.

[QUOTE=RaysBoltsBucs;4939242]I was with you. Sure it was an insurance claim.[/QUOTE]I know a guy that was a fire inspector and investigator in a former life. He told me that he was always impressed by the potential fire load at Icon, lack of a sprinkler system and creative electrical wiring. Add that to being closed for months and you get something that makes you go "hmmmmmm".

[QUOTE=LtAtlas;4938015]Been to the Vue several times in the last month or so, only game in town since Icon somehow burned to the ground. Most of the visits were daytime Saturday, number and selection varies. Only constant is barmaid Ellie, I love her ass. On the times when there were only a couple girls Ellie took turns on stage. Once I was able to talk her into a private dance, it was worth it.
Last Saturday there were 10 girls, and all pretty decent except for the Goodyear Blimp that's always there, and the one that thinks she's Katy Perry. Actually splurged and got private from one little spinner and then after recovering got one from a Blond with nice bolt ons. I dropped some $$$ but after this long drought I figure it's worth it.[/QUOTE]Any extras from Ellie? Asked a couple times for a private when she was on stage but no go.
[QUOTE=JTaylor99;4952410]Any extras from Ellie? Asked a couple times for a private when she was on stage but no go.[/QUOTE]Not that I've been privy to. I can tell you that one time I was there she was pretty busy with some skinny kid with bad ink. She disappeared from the bar for a few minutes and I went to piss. Heard some ruckus in the ladies room. A few minutes after I returned to the bar so did she and the kid. She had a little something on her cheek which she wiped off with a napkin. LOL.
Anybody have any experience / intel about "Joanie B Good"? She's at the vue sometimes, guess she used to dance down by port Ritchie or Tampa?

Someone on here gave me some info about her not too long ago, though haven't been able to get around to seeing her again. If anybody has any insights on other things she's open to I'd be interested in hearing that as well as LtAtlas. Thanks.
Allure is now open. Stop by this afternoon to see what was going on. The place was quite empty. A couple of the girls said that most of the girls were still working at the Vue and then they opened last night. Saw a couple familiar faces but didn't partake in any festivities.
Tuesday was reopening day. 6 girls, twice as many guys but some familiar faces there. Tipped a few on stage, but didn't try any VIP.
Allure up and running, also had a decent crowd by mid afternoon. Only 3 or 4 girls, but now that clubs are reopening some who had drifted elsewhere may begin to reappear.
New wrinkle at both clubs, if you're going to drink you have to buy a $1 bag of chips at the same time (you can add your choice of taco or a fur burger as an upgrade in the private dining room).
Guess that's how they are hoping to get around the restaurant requirement. Hell, Oz put in a pizza oven, but I still haven't had a piece!

I wonder how many bags of chips really get eaten or taken at Allure? I didn't touch mine and left them.

Had quite a pile when we departed for the back. Don't think I saw anyone eat a chip while I was there.
And yeah I long for a good furburger. Not many around. JoanieB comes to mind, but I've tried to convince some other to at least add a landing strip, but they think it's too much trouble to deal with, even for an added tip!
Stopped in to see Allure on Sat afternoon. Not one girl. Turned around and left. Went to Flamingo, lots of cars so I went in. Sat down at bar, ordered a beer and found out no girls. Barmaid was sweet tho so I stayed for a second beer, then Mike came over and said 4 girls on way in so I stuck around. Soon they showed up, all looked decent, final count was 7. Met a blond girl who I was into but she had to spend some time with a guy that was throwing cash at her, which I get. I was def ready to drop a couple benjamins on her but she went private with the dude, he came back out later but she didn't. Stuck around waiting for her, then gave up. I think her name was Allie or Alisha or something? Info welcome, she's my type.
Anyhow, left and went to Vue, 4 girls all sitting with someone. Tall black girl came over, talked me into private for. 8, not a bad time. Still wish I spent more time with the blond at Flamingo.

Went to Desires last week. Too many want to be players throwing stacks of singles all around. Knew I couldn't compete in that atmosphere so went to the Vue. That place was not happening for me either. Left with plenty of coin in my pockets. Going to try St Pete tonight.
Made the rounds yesterday. Went to Flamingo, 6 girls. Spent some time with kake, she's still pushing her pornstar / millionaire bs. Tries saying her old boss paid her 7 K to f_k, then says a club in Tampa offered her. 2 an hour plus her tips if shed dance there. Yeah, right. Got bored so left and stopped in at the vue, same old chicks but Ellie the Bartender was on stage so I stayed for a beer. She's hot but needs to learn to smile. Left and went to lolli, 7 girls, all pretty trashy. Some fat chick was hanging at the bar, said she doesn't go on stage but goes private. I declined but she kept bugging me. Finally I went to tip the girl on stage and went back to the other end of bar. The beast tracked me down and started her crap again. By that time the girl on stage finished and came over to thank me for the tip. I just grabbed her and took her private to get away from the pig. This girl was MUCH heavier than I usually go for, but she was pretty. Worked out pretty good tho, as she knew how to use what she had and requested painting on her ass. I obliged.
Be safe.
