Massage Parlor Reports (Formerly Pine)

I was on the way to Anna's and passed Fantastic Feeling. Lights were on and the Sign said Open. I did not stop.

Instead went to Anna's. Broke my rule. Forgot the name of the girl. I'll need to call Anna. Chinese girl. About 25. Medium thin. Pretty face. Well toned. Good English. Excellent massage. I said, I can tell you are licensed. Yes she is. Fascinating discussion. Based on the massage, and license, I was thinking perhaps no extras. She allowed roaming but did not tease. On the flip, however she did go to work. Competent. Not great. One handed. She only works three days a week. No other job. No school. Of course, that is an interesting "fact pattern" in my opinion. She asked, you say you come here a lot. What is the range of your tips? I say $40 - $100. I explained the union scale. She says she would never do it for $100. I said that is an interesting answer. That means there is a number. But not $100. She says, if I did it at all it would be much more than $100. I got $100 from another customer for HE. I said, that tip is very unusual. She says, he must like me. Anyway, now you know why I forgot her name. Granted she was cute. But we really are messing up the natural order of things with tips like that. Bob.

[QUOTE=SamSpade;2636788]Hey Bob, maybe you can ask Lester, How do you fuck that up? I drove past yesterday and today. The place is closed, but they haven't emptied the place out yet.

Moving on, I was looking in BP this morning and saw an ad for a grand opening (aren't they all?) in Vernon Hills, at least by the Zip Code (60061) posted on the ad. I called the phone number twice and got no answer. I just checked back on the ad a minute ago, and they changed the Zip Code to 60047, which is Lake Zurich. No wonder they're not answering the phone. They're probably still driving around in a moving van, looking for a place to set up. The reason I'm mentioning this, I thought maybe the Fantastic gals where looking to strike out on their own. If anyone finds out more, please post it. I was never that big a fan of the place, but they were standard fare for standard price.

One other piece of news. Went to Green Spa in Libertyville a few days ago, another old standby. Massage by Libby was OK, but after that everything was upsell. That which was once included is now tacked on, like asking for whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on top of your sundae. Until I hear different, I'll just get in my car and drive to greener pastures.[/QUOTE]

Bob, When girls ask for outrageous amounts I laugh and they say some guys pay it and they are right. I was quoted a lot for a full meal. I countered and she said ok but bring more the next time. I said this is what I pay and I'm not giving you more the next time.

She just looked at me and said nothing.

[QUOTE=Lurker02;2639519]Anyone been here?

[URL]http://chicago.backpage.com/TherapeuticMassage/best-choice-fantastic-service/30217442[/URL][/QUOTE]First, it advertises in the "massages" section, rather than body rubs, escorts, or w-m. Second, LF is far from a hotbed of monger mania. Don't expect much for long in downtown Lake Forest. You're not in BG, Libertyville, or Waukegan anymore.

She just looked at me and said nothing.[/QUOTE]Does the name "Kim" ring a bell? Best looking one I've ever seen at FF, but the massage was only so-so. And then it was ripoff time. I ask her to drop the top, and for more still she does. Except for one little thing. She has a bra on, and that apparently wasn't included in the price. I swear I'd rather have a plain looking MT who's honest than this beautiful piranha in a skirt.

At Anna's. Girl's name was, I think, Josie. Been there two months. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday.

Never met a Kim at FF.

Paid a visit to Lux. The hot women there, had me dreaming about then all the time. So I was excited to go there. All the women I dreamed about were gone. All new ladies not as good looking as the ones I met. Time to move on and find greener pastures, and still dream about what a good time I had had.

[QUOTE=MrSmartyPants;2635148]Went by the Waukegan place on Green Bay (boycotting Sunset for now.) they appear to be closed. Went by twice during business hours in the last few days; closed.

Today I called them and their phone is disconnected. Bummer!

And for the heck of it, thought I'd try Fantastic in Lville, been over a year. It too appears to be shut down.

WTF?[/QUOTE]It's open as open can be. It's just that the hours are terrible. I like a legit session just fine but that was all I ever got here. Have you had a different experience? Anyone?

I have never tried Fantastic Feeling on milwaukee. Vaguely recall hearing it was a Euro place with no extras and a bleak vibe. I'm looking for a new place since my Waukegan spots have dried up. I suppose there's still a few Lbville spots, (but I hate the. 8 door fees.).

There is also a UTR asian place Practically next door and across the street from asian royal on Milwaukee in deerfield.

Oh. I only tipped $50 even though she claims one guy gave her $100. Sorry for the confusion.

As a practical matter, I normally go to regulars two or three times a week. Then once a week, I go to reliable spas (and occasionally an unknown spa) to meet new friends, and hopefully the new friends become regulars. Bob.

A couple weeks ago I drove by this place that was still under construction in the downtown area. Although the name sounds promising, I'm guessing their legit, because their license number is displayed on the ad. If anyone else tries them first, let us know what it was like.

I went to Dragon. Toftt. Good massage, seems like HE can happen but not the first trip. The 1 lady working wasnt maybe a 4 I guess. The owner and her are married. Met owner. Nice guy. Felt weird trying to hard to get fun with husband at desk LOL. Left and went to Sunset and had a VERY good time. People saying its DIY have no game LOL. Sorry but I had a petite 28 year old and we had a blast. I think she liked me but I feel in couple trips I can hit a home run. Heh.

Still hadn't been corrected until I realized I had been calling her the wrong name! Anyway, she's my fav there. Never had the upswell but only offers he. Still, a good massage and pretty to play with.

Still don't know WTF happened to me at Sunset. Long time regular. Maybe I started smelling like Bacon or something. I went the first day they opened, and a dozen other times, always a HE without asking, no negotiation (actually, just once, was a buzzkill). Shot down the last two or three visits in a row though, I shouldn't return. I already said I wouldn't return, in a moment of weakness returned again anyway, got shot down amd given the SS routine from a new girl on her first day. Said the "boss would kill her".
