LOL! I guess I wan't wrong about Lucky Spa
So, I was thinking of coming back through Tampa soon and figured I'd check in on the board to see if my first time report about Lucky Spa was an anomaly or if others reported similar experiences.
Well, after reading the many glowing reviews, I can say that I am completely let down. I thought I simply happened to get extra-special service because I am so damn handsome and sexy. LOL!
But seriously, all you guys that asked me for more info by PM and then didn't send me a follow-up report, you kind of hurt my feelings (joking). I don't always take the time to read through the Tampa boards, so it would have been nice to get some direct feedback.
Either way, I guess I will plan on stopping by Lucky Spa again, just hoping you guys are waiting in line with "take-a-number" tickets and a sign reading, "Now serving number 115!
Pure Massage in Riverview
[QUOTE=MrPringle;3270854]I went to pure massage two weeks ago. Didn't get any of the girls you mentioned. Instead, I drew a plump older woman and nothing extra was on the table. And trust me, I tried. Don't waste your time and money when we have so many better options on Kennedy.[/QUOTE]Sounds like you went to one of the 2 Pure massages in Brandon. They are completely different then the one in Riverview, this place is in Riverview right next to Lowe's and it's rocking.
I went in Friday and saw Ruby. As others described she is really cute and friendly and on the younger side (about 26 or 27). I had a pretty decent massage (about a 7 or so) but my mind was on other things. I was in the market for a complete package and was able to achieve that for 1. 6. Everything was covered as stated by others but she really showed me a good time. She didn't rush the service and allowed me to throughly enjoy inch of her. I was very satisfied and left thinking I will return again.
I was in and out in 50 minutes and paid for the hour but I can't complain as she seemed to really put in a good effort and the place was off the charts busy. I'm sure she was tired as she said she hasn't had a break all day so I can't complain about the 10 minutes.
I also saw the other one working and she was defiantly not old and plump. Ruby is much better looking in my opinion but the other one was fine as well.
Couldn't take it anymore!
All this talk about Luckys, I was busting at the seems. Even came out of retirement basically to check this place out. Got Fiona. I paid for 30 min. Was there for 45. Not sure if this is because I said it was my first to get me hooked, but it worked. Everything is verbatim as stated before. Went about 2:30 today got right in. I can only say, I've never left a place so clean and so satisfied!
Osaka Massage on Hillsborough. Status
[QUOTE=MaxxD0941;3280467]Is Osaka on Hillsborough closed? I see add for a new Osaka Day Spa on Florida, but no add for the old one.[/QUOTE]I have no first hand knowledge, but simply Googling "[u][i]Osaka Massage Hillsborough Tampa[/i][/u]" resulted in hits for a few yellow-pages entries and the Map Location / Address and Phone Number (but no real ads). So, I dialed the widely published phone number, also featured prominently right on the side of their building (from the admittedly aged image from Google Streetview Maps). After a few rings the call went straight into a system message advising that "The BrightHouse Networks customer you called has not activated their voicemail box. " To me, that indicates their phone service is most likely provided by their Internet Provider, BrightHouse (now a component of Charter Communications), and it's apparently still in service, but they're not answering. Curious. Either they're just "busy" this afternoon, or maybe have taken some time off (no ads), or they may actually be on their way to closing down.
If they're not able to stay in business, someone should tell the people at the recently wildly popular "Lucky Spa", on Kennedy Blvd, so they could snatch up the lease and open a second location! That would help the congestion problems at their current location! LOL! From the Google Maps satellite view, there looks to be PLENTY of parking out back at Osaka . . . like, 6 or more spaces! Of course, as busy as Lucky's has been lately (see Dom's post below), 6 parking spaces may still not be enough!
Massage with AA provider?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a massage parlor, but with an attractive / friendly AA provider? Feel free to PM me as well. Thanks!
Don't be unlucky at Lucky
This could just be paranoia, but with all the attention Lucky is getting lately, I thought I'd share my experience. Pulled up last Thursday around 11:30 a. Parked up front. While in the car, I see a guy pacing back and forth on the sidewalk in front of the sunglasses place and Lucky. Short white guy with a douchy look, wearing aviator sunglasses and a punchable face. He's got a cellphone up to his ear and seems to be waiting for me to get out of the car. I wait and casually look at my phone. When I don't get out, he walks into the parking lot / street just behind my car, glances at the rear of my car and then back to sidewalk. I figured let me see what's up, so I back up, leave and circle around on Kennedy and onto a parallel street so I can see what's happening. He's still pacing and on the phone. When I get back to Kennedy and drive in front of Lucky, he's gone and I went in without incident.
Just a warning. Be aware of your surroundings. Strange people, cars positioned strategically to block / impede your exit, et cetera.
