Cloudy day at Sky Massage
Got off work early so thought I'd treat myself to a massage. Got there and was met by Candy. Paid for an hour.
She asked if I wanted a shower, and I did, as it was shown on the rate card. Was led to the shower room and proceeded to get squeaky clean.
During the shower the doorbell went off twice. She told me to go lie down on the table. Laid down on the table, fully prepped for a massage et al.
After a two minute massage, she asked if we can do only 1/2 hour since she had customers waiting. I agreed. Two more minutes and she had me flip over and started.
Giving Mini Me kisses on the forehead. A few minutes later, I was done. She bolted out of the room to get the next client.
I tipped her $20, and she was insulted. I pointed out that I paid for an hour, was there 20 min and no real massage. What did she expect?
If I go back would request someone else. Prob won't be going back, as HR is same distance for me.
Kelly at Spa 36 on Himes Road
Just saw Kelly at Spa 36 on Himes Road just north of I-275 (near Walmart). Kelly is tall, young, very pretty, good English, natural B's. Typical of the normally outstanding girls at this location. I think she's leaving soon, so she may not be around more than another week, but Spa 36 usually has similar girls in their rotation. Comparable talent to Crystal, Orange, Yoshiko, and Han River.
I haven't been to Venus Spa in ages (on Cypress between Himes and Dale Mabry), but the last time I was there (ages ago) the talent there had gone downhill a bit. That's usually all it takes for me to scratch someplace off my list, especially with so many other reliable places in the area. If anybody has any recent news about the talent at Venus, I'd be interested to hear.
Went to the Ritz. Not good
[QUOTE=TPAMonger;4517218]Anytime I hear about 6 shops or Lavender, I like to remind the Ritz is always nice too. I say this all the time if you scroll back but my favorite is Harlow there but any of the girls are sweet. Gabbie, Mia, Brandi.
[URL]http://www.floridarelaxationstudios.com/schedule.html[/URL][/QUOTE]Was back in Tampa for the first time in several months. Went to the Ritz since prior trips there were good. Drew a blonde girl named Corey. Seemed to rush things. Was all business. Had a bit of an attitude. I think hygiene is an issue. I caught a whiff, and woodie died a quick death. Couldn't finish. Almost ran out of there. Never again. Ritz was not impressive at all.
Leather and Lace The Palms
[QUOTE=VinoVeritas;4533373]I had a very similar experience with Corey -- including the parts about "rushed" and "woodie death". The girl likes herself but doesn't much care for her selected vocation. Rather than bug-out and call it a bad day, I doubled-down, asked for a different provider, and drew Gabie. In my opinion, BEST MOVE EVER. Totally redeemed the experience there. I will go back, but I'll also check the schedule first!![/QUOTE]I've never been to the Ritz, so I can't speak to any janitorial concerns there, but I've been to the Largo location many times and it seems clean to me. I've had very nice times with Mia, Morgan, Madeline, Annabelle and Harlow.
My only complaint is that they leave you in the room for a long time before they enter to start the proceedings. The Six Shops does the same thing and I don't like it.
6 Shops New Talent Electra
Made it over to the Palace on Monday at the Ulmerton spot to check out some of the new talent and saw one of the new girls Electra. She's new to the business. Visit was non rushed and she was very accommodating, everything is covered & YMMV. Highly recommend worth the $.70.
Tampa experiences. Kinda blah
Visited some places over the past few weeks.
First checked out Happy Massage in Brandon (on Oakfield). Their ads were very suggestive saying things like "hot girls" and "we know what you want". So I walk in, pay $40 for a half hr (never pay for hour, waste of your money). The girl at the desk was blah looking and I asked if anyone else was there and she pointed at a picture of what I assume was a massage license and a pretty face so I said yes to her. The girl comes in and is pretty cute, definitely mid 20's, pretty skinny but good looking. Spent the first 20 min on my back, that was annoying and got tedious. Then spent the other 10 minutes straight rubbing my ass and inner upper thigh. Then she asked if I wanted to pay for 10 more minutes and said it was $10, I assumed this was prep for HE so I said yeah and flipped, then she asked me where she wanted the massage and of course I pointed at jimmy and she immediately started saying sorry she can't do that. I looked at her perplexed and she just kept apologizing. So I said, ok I don't need 10 more min and got up, dressed, and left her a $10 tip. Honestly for a bad 30-min massage, $10 is a generous tip. That's what I give actual professional LMTs for an hour of a legit massage.
It was after 10 by this point so my options were fewer, but I stopped by Lucky Penny on Gandy. The woman was definitely in her 50's but didn't look bad for her age, had a cute skirt so I said sure. She gave a decent rub and finished me, never asked for an amount for the HE and was happy when I gave her $40.
Also I visited famous Chris a few weeks ago but she's gained a lot of weight from her pics. I stayed for the rub ($100 half hour) but had a hard time staying hard because she was just so ugly (Sorry if you're reading this Chris, update your pictures), she finished me but it was hard to enjoy it. Other guys might not be as picky but I do prefer younger girls under 40 or at least that are in good shape.
