Was up in the area so I payed a visit to our friends there on main Street. It was late and Jenna was busy so Jessica took care of me. I could only get 30 minutes but it was a nice 30 minutes. She hit all the right areas and I left happy and satisfied. She is cute, on the younger side and has a nice spinner physique. Costs were typical for 30 minutes at this place and the service.

Several days later I was back in the area so I decided to call and see who was working. Jenna said Cici and Lisa were working. I said okay and drove there. This time Cici took care of me. She is cute, has a somewhat of a frumpy look to her, and also has a spinner physique. This time I got a hour and was very satified with the service and results. Costs were standard for an hour.

Both times were pretty good. I recommend and will return. Seniors and contributors PM for more info.

Due to New LEO Ordinances, In Providence, Many of the AMPs are closed.

According to the ProJo, ALL the AMPs in Prov are now closed.

The issue is that spas don't get an automatic rubber stamp and license approval for their $60 license application fee, the spa has to provide documentation for all it's workers, including arrest history and has to convince the board that they are legit. If they can't convince the skeptical board who assume AMP = trafficking and prostitution then the spa doesn't get it's license and is shut down. They have to go before the board and convince it they are on the up and up every year. It's old school politics. They don't want spas and consider them a nuisance so regardless of whether a spa meets the letter of the law or not if they aren't convinced the spa is legit they won't grant the license. They can try to argue the case with an attorney, but all it's going to take is one undercover officer getting offered a handy and the spa is going to lose it's license.

In the case of the one spa in Prov that was trying to fight to stay open they were told by the city board that they were violating workplace / residence laws by having workers sleep at the business and not providing tax statements so if they wanted to get a license they had to document all the women who would be working there, explain to the board what kind of training they were providing to the women about is legal and what's not, and fix their living / tax situation.

If you look at Section 14 (e) it refers to Rhode Island General Law Chapter 23-20.8 which governs massage therapists. Chapter 23-20.8-1 (2) defines "practice of massage. " This could easily be argued to cover reflexology. As this is a new law, its application has yet to be determined by the courts.

In the end, with no requirements for training, this is really just a measure to "ensure" the bodyworkers aren't illegals or being trafficked. On its face its not that demanding or oppressive an ordinance.

Here's the rub: (1) There's no mention of what the application process will be. There are towns in MA which require bodywork licenses, but there is no such license available from the DPL, which has exclusive jurisdiction over massage / bodywork licensing. Sneaky way of keeping the businesses out of town. Given the licenses will be available, (2) convincing these Chinese girls to sign anything like this. Chinese nationals are very skittish and distrustful of any type of government intervention or monitoring. Can't blame them. Maybe they'll get desperate enough to give up personal information, but I'd hate to be the one trying to convince them to do so.

For now it does, but it wouldn't surprise me to see neighboring towns follow suit. We can only hope not.

Meanwhile in NYC it can be a felony to provide unlicensed massage. I predict that once the dust settles Providence will be business as usual by spring time (if it ever arrives).

Went to Unique in Wey tonight and left extremely unhappy. This place used to be a decent go to for a quick, cheap rub & tug. I have been there a half dozen times with no bad experience although some were better than others. Tonight I go in and pay for an hour (Spring Special, LOL). I get an older lady but at least she's pleasant. Name is Jane, she says. After awhile with my text notification going off, she says she'd rather do a 1/2 hr. & I agree. Anyway totally lackluster "bodywork" but I'm there for the ending anyway so what the heck. So the next thing I know I'm getting the "ok, I'm finished" I said, no you're not what about the front. She says no front, all done. I said that I'd been there before and. She says "lots of people been here before". I was pissed. I dressed and left, no tip.

This place is not the Unique you know. Avoid!
