Happy New Year and Many Thanks to the Ladies
To all the Massage Technicians and mama-sans / mangers. Spending enjoyable hours on your table made my 2018 much better than it might have otherwise been.
May each wonderful lady (and the brother mongers) all have a happy 2019.
End of year report -- visited A-Spa in WS today (3rd visit) - very nice end of year massage experience at a very clean and nicely appointed SPA. I posted an earlier review that included details of easy parking, TS facility, etc. All those details remain true.
House - 0. 8 (standard) - tip (with no pouting) 0. 6 Happy New Year.
Always be nice to the ladies.

Thai independents. My search continues
As mentioned in some of my previous posts, my ideal provider would be a younger, slim and attractive Thai lady, with decent massage skills and a wild side that lends itself to an expanded menu. My initial foray into this particular unicorn search was a 1 hr visit with Reya about a month ago. I won't rehash that here, since I provided a report on that session previously. Last week, I resisted the temptation to repeat with her (she's soooo close to where I live and visually a perfect match for what I'm seeking) and instead trekked to Fairfax for a visit with Alexa. Alex's ads, with the exception of one thumbnail headshot that likely isn't her, do not include photos. After exchanging a few texts, she refused to send me a photo and said she's a young looking 38 yr old and I could leave if I didn't like what I saw upon arrival.
Okay then, I decided to give her a shot. Operating out of a mostly empty apartment in Fair Oaks, Alexa was in fact a youthful looking 38 yr old, just as she described. She was very soft spoken and kinda quiet whenever I tried making conversation. She's only been in the states for 1 yr and said she can't wait to go home for good this year because she misses her family. The massage was decent and cost $ for 45 min. She remained clothed and no extras were offered or even suggested. OTC roaming was authorized after I inquired, but didn't seem very well received or enjoyable, so I stopped almost immediately. Overall the experience was extremely mechanical and boring. I certainly wish her well and hope she gets to return home soon. I don't think I'll be returning.
For now Reya is the clear leader in my book, but her limited menu means my search goes on. As for Alexa, if you're near Fair Oaks and need a decent massage and HE, have at it. But keep your expectations in check. My total damage was $ and left. 2 as tip.
