[QUOTE=Knight62;2100585] With the hours these girls put in one doughnut once in a while is not going to get them fat[/QUOTE]Definitely, but before Mamasan Gigi at Admiral went on an extended vacation back to her home in Florida she'd always chew me out if I brought anything but plain, and maybe a couple glazed. She said too much sugar made the girls froggy and harder to control.
Coming from MA I called this place the other night to setup an appt and a papasan answered the phone? Does he actually work at the place when you get in there or just answer the phones?

Larry has been in the business a long time and knows how to treat customers well. I've had some good conversations with him. He knows the all about this business not just Rhode Island but just about anywhere else too. He used to run an AMP in Manhattan until Rudy Guiliani ran them out.
Dropped in at One Spa and drew Cara. Very cute, better than the three others I viewed while there by a wide margin in my opinion at least. Sweetie. Once I broke the ice since they didn't know me there it was game on and time extremely well spent. Standard fees for the service delivered. She even gave me a decent massage afterwards. Excellent experience! PM for further details. Worth a repeat visit.
[QUOTE=SmokeScreen;2099088]That is exactly why I wrote "MOST of the girls". There are many girls working there, they can't all be everyone's favorite, maybe she didn't like you (I'm not saying there's anything wrong with you) but we all like different people for different reasons, same goes for the girls. Don't forget, these girls have been working since 10 AM, you went after midnight, after working more than 12 hours wouldn't you be tired too? Try going in the daytime, read the forum for names of girls that have been reviewed favorably, then call for an appointment with one of those girls.[/QUOTE]I wasn't contradicting your account, I was just sharing my recent experience at NMS. Like you said "MOST" I only said "ONE" - I was only talking about one masseuse and only my single experience with her, I wasn't generalizing about either NMS or the masseuse. Note I also said I have had very positive experiences at NMS in the past. I am not badmouthing the place, just relating one single recent experience. Your experiences are different? That's great, I'd like to think my experience was atypical but even good places have their off times, or great providers have their off days. NMS isn't immune from that.
Also I am very sympathetic to the long hours the women work, and I adjust my expectations accordingly downward if I am stopping by late in the evening or towards the end of a shift (even if a place closes at 10 PM if I stop by at 9:30 PM I expect a less than enthusiastic response) - but especially so if it's after midnight like it was on my recent visit. I know anyone is going to be tired after such a long day of physically demanding work, so I don't expect the same level of service or attitude and I generally don't go late for that very reason.
While your advice to read the forums and make a reservation ahead of time is basically good advice, we all know that making an appointment doesn't guarantee the person we request will be available when we show up. It makes it more likely you'll get who you want then if you don't call at all, but no guarantee. AND I think if a business has a really good reputation and all that's been posted recently are rave reviews it's not unreasonable to expect at least a decent massage experience when stopping by without an appointment. On the night in question I was out late that evening so my choosing to stop by NMS was spur of the moment decision based all the glowing reviews I've read here, knowing they were open late and the fact that I was practically driving by on my way home. (also I didn't have net access to research who I should call ahead for).
This is a new spa that opened about 5 min from me. Stopped in yesterday and suspect it with be just a massage with no extras. Older women and the pics in their ad are totally fake. If I can scare up the 60 for an hour might just TOFTT. Be nice if I'm wrong and have something good so close to me.
Called Admiral Friday to book early appointment with Sunny. Was busy until 3:00 so called NMS to setup appointment with Bonnie, based on recent review. However, approaching NMS, saw a bunch of road crew?/ utility? Dressed workers in NMS area, including truck in the lot. No one seemed to be working, just staring at the traffic. Figured discretion being the better part of valor, abandoned appointment and headed to Admiral as a walk-in. Four cars in the lot and mamason advised everyone busy, with 30 minute wait. Napped out until next available. Which turned out to be Lana.
Lana is good looking, probably 30, and appears to be new. No English skills, so all my jokes fell flat. Yet she giggled anyway. TS was only fair, as was massage, which was lighter than my usual and was choppy, as she seemed to be concentrating on executing the steps. ST normal, but gave a good finish. Lana is probably someone who will improve with experience, and if I were a first timer would have been quite happy. However, knowing the talent at Admiral and NMS will not repeat in the near future. .60/.40.

Nice clean place, amateur massage from a middle age lady. If your not going to offer extras, at least give a good massage. Avoid.
Angie at Main Street: Massage was wonderful, HE with body pressed against mine, sitting between legs, on chest, on my legs. Really quite wonderful. The petit pleasant looking woman late 20's early 30's. Was one of the best ever for me. Rarely find this good in Raleigh North Carolina. Thanks to the folks gave me advice on Providence.
Who did you get your massage from? Gina? She gave me extras, though they weren't that great.

Monday being Memorial Day, I decided to honor my uncle who was shot down over Korea, with some strafing of my own. I guess.
I'm more of a lover than a fighter, because instead of carpet bombing I headed to DT for some carpet munching.
I drew Victoria, who I'd glimpsed before and had thought she looked pretty. Up close, she was less impressive, although still looked good from the right angles. She has hard implants on a tall, skinny frame. TS was thorough but mechanical and rushed. Massage was cursory. Extras were better, she was accommodating but didn't try too hard to convince me she was having fun. I leave the base 140 tip out up front (I will rarely give more at the end, only for exceptional service), and she counted it slowly, even after I told her how much it was. Not a big deal, but I know some guys find that aggravating.
Overall it was a basically decent visit, and got the full hour, but if I have to have a disinterested provider, I'd prefer a young bombshell at OS. I wouldn't repeat, unless I was in a huge hurry and she was the only option.
Was in need of a great massage and Sarah did not fail me.
Great table shower, great massage, great HE.

An older provider, but slim and took direction. The usual fee. A little face-slapping with Mr Johnson to wake him up, she started it. Pretty funny. Then mainly ds to complete and she liked it full throttle. Overall good, but I prefer the younger versions. It was late and I was in a hurry.
Haven't been back in a while and stopped in for a little 'Candy'...but she was on bacation. Mika suggested Yung who was way too skinny, average face and very sweet. She tried hard to please but had minimal skills. I also met Suzie...tall, older, hard looking...not my speed either. Oh well.you can't win them all. Yung is a very sweet girl but won't repeat.
If anyone has any recommendations PLEASE post them or PM me.
Drove by yesterday around noon, place was closed and no one answered.
Will try again next week and report back.
