Massage Parlor Reports

Although not actually a massage parlor, there have been posts in this forum on Nina's Oils.

Last week Nina told me she is no longer associated with Nina's Oils. It is run by her former partner.

He is still posting under Nina's Oils. The posts appear to be written by Nina, but they are not.

The shop is still open with talent available, just not Nina.

I have Nina's personal cell and email address if any of her regulars wish to reach her (PM). She might start her own web site and start running ads on EROS.

[QUOTE=Wrek68;3361331]Uh oh. I just saw Channel 8 run a TV ad for an investigative report they are airing this week on massage parlors in Tampa. And they showed the reporter walking up the back entrance to what was formerly known as Kim's. WTF?[/QUOTE]I just saw the ad Wrek posted about. It was framed as Tampa's dirty little secret. It's supposed to come on at 5 pm. I may tune in to see what they say and if they talk to uncle LEO. If LEO is willing to offer some information about what he's looking for or may be moving on next it could be useful.

Several years ago I lived up north and was in a bad situation where the Feds were involved. My favorite spot was raided while I was there. Feds were pushing me hard so I called my attorney. He came to the spot, I didn't answer any questions and nothing ever came of it except a divorce. He told me the local mayor was trying to clean up the place and make a name for himself.

Fast forward now to the present, I still like to play but use a bit more caution. A very good friend of mine is LEO and knows what happened to me (he likes to have his fun as well). He called me last week and made it very clear to me to keep far away from Kennedy. He told me that the places directly on and around Kennedy are a target now from numerous agency's (Federal, State and local) He was clear it was spots directly on Kennedy or just off Kennedy, nothing outside of that area. He was telling me they are targeting stores bringing in ladies from Korea to work with no legal paperwork or licenses.

I cannot imagine this is related to the TV thing but who knows.

. . Just in case this gets buried off the Main Page of their website. Of course, this presumes that URL won't also be changed at some point.

On the plus side, as is often the case with this type of "reporting", the story actually serves as a public primer and guide for potential clients that are visiting from out of town, or local guys that didn't already realize these opportunities were located in this specific area (yes, believe it or not, I'll wager there are plenty of local guys that don't even KNOW where these establishments are. . . but they will NOW!). I know I've found "streetwalker" reports (from my old home town up north) extremely fascinating! I never KNEW! Not that I did anything about that, because, you know. . . streetwalkers are just not my cup of tea.

I wonder if they were given permission to take pictures and / or video inside the spa by the owner? Otherwise, it is private property and a cease and desist demand along with a lawsuit if they fail to unpublish / retract pics and video against the WFLA may be warranted. FWIW, I am not a lawyer, just play one on TV.

Would there be a higher chance of some kind of sting going on?

Of note is a comment toward the end of the report (at the 4:00 minute point in the 4:10 minute video on their website), by Jennifer Leigh, that "investigations are complaint driven," which explains a lot. Who's going to complain other than, perhaps, neighboring businesses (such as alledgedly happened with the former Nina's Oils location on Kennedy). Otherwise, possible complainants might be a wife of a client that "found out", or a ratings-monger of a news reporter that needs some sirens and blinky-lights for his news-footage. I remain of the firm opinion that the gentleman who reportedly entered Kim's Massage to "purchase a pedicure for his girlfriend" is nothing more than a red-hering, concocted to lend some (far-fetched) credibility to the indignant attitude of (imaginary) nearby residents.

Also curious is that the intrepid reporter, Mark Douglas, took A YEAR to conduct his investigation, supposedly based on receipt of an "anonymous letter detailing what goes on behind the doors of some of those Kennedy Blvd spas!" First, what kind of idiot would submit that kind of information to a news reporter? Of all the wild possibilities one could stretch their imagination to come up with, the most logical (to my simple mind) would be that the reporter, HIMSELF, spent his "year long" investigation visiting each of the many spas himself as a paying client, probably multiple times, and then disguised his notes as an "anonymous letter" so he didn't have to explain how he was so well informed (and why he was so sexually stress free, LOL).

Nevertheless, this unwanted nuisance visibility could well result in the Tampa City Council being sort of "cornered" into taking SOME kind of action, lest this pesky reporter show up next year citing that the politicians "failed to act, as promised!" (watch the report. . . The morally indignant city council twerps did just that!. . . PROMISED!). Tampa City Council newcomer, Guido Maniscalco (District 6, which includes the subject area of Kennedy Blvd and considerable geography north to Busch Blvd) has reportedly called for a Tampa City Police Report/Presentation to be submitted to City Council on/around May 18th, and he's focused in on DOING something about this menace. If any of our readers here happen to live (and vote) in Guido's District 6, consider yourself informed when it comes time for the next election, OR if you feel the urge to write a letter to your councilman (telling him to stop wasting Police budgetary dollars and focus that funding on real crimes).

I still say the thorough listing of AMP names, along with the handy map complete with street addresses fer cryin' out loud, serves better as a GUIDE that may actually end up generating MORE volume for some of these places! For example, SEVEN STAR SPA features prominently among the photos and reporting, yet none of us more-well-informed consumers ever go there (or at least aren't reporting of going there), so that place may actually see a bump in business! LOL! If any of you all wish to "steer clear" of the places getting all this publicity, try going to Venus Spa, a few blocks north on Cypress Street. That place was totally missed in all this reporting. Even Orange Spa didn't make the video or written story, but they ARE featured on the handy map.

Girls are moved on a national circuit. There will be some backlash because it hit the news, but it will continue unless the Feds (FBI) gets involved. That won't happen.

I was glad that the "investigation" wasn't more thorough or substantial. I'm not sure it will have any staying power. They said that a woman wore lingerie and implied that other services were available. The Tampa council meeting isn't until next month and it seems like this is something they can give lip service to but not actually take action on. I'm less worried about getting busted than I am the quality of service dropping because girls are worried about getting busted.

This also seems to offer some explanation for why Magic Spa became Spa Land out of nowhere. They still call it Magic Spa on the little Channel 8 map.

[QUOTE=MrBill469;3350647]This is discouraging! I've not been able to get there as many times as I would have liked before reports like this start to pop up! This place seems to have frequent enough turn-over and NEVER seems to return any of the girls that eventually leave, even when they're stellar and we'd like them to do so. . . Kimmy comes to mind.

Based on [U]Hannah[/U], as reported by [b]MeetTheDom[/b], I'm almost afraid to even go there now! One could try to ask at the front window for a specific girl, or even NOT to have Hannah, but I've been lied to at least 3 times through that little window regarding someone I ask for, only to have Mamasan seem to "suddenly remember" after I've paid my house fee and been let in the inside door, that the girl I JUST asked about is "busy now"! Then I end up with whatever is available and no real choice in the matter (I haven't tried to ask for my 60 half hour fee BACK yet, but I have a feeling Mamasan is loathe to part with that which has crossed her palm).

There's been very little written about [B]MAGIC SPA[/B], just a ways west down Kennedy Blvd, but I'm wondering if anyone has any recent intel on that place. [b]FoolishNiss[/b] was reporting last year a name change to "Spa Land" and those (likely phoney) reports of NEW MANAGEMENT, but I haven't actually driven by lately. He also confirmed (in March of 2016) that they had been asking 200 tip and had been for at least a "couple of years" at that time (a year ago). I don't see how they can keep that up now since EVERYONE else is the area is accepting 160 at most. I hate to think that I've already discovered ALL of the decent (outstanding really) AMPs in the area, but if I have, they would only include the following (in my order of preference): Bay Massage (formerly Kim's), Crystal Spa (only really have seen Joann, but she's near the top of my ATF list), Venus (only because girls from Bay-Kim's have been known to show up here), Yoshiko (although I haven't made it to this spot in a while), Lucky Spa (until MTD's report, probably #1 in this order, but now lower), and Orange Spa (recent visits have moved Orange way down this list, although reliable, just not inspiring - I wind up at Bay-Kim's first).[/QUOTE]Thanks for the great info, I'll have to check these out. I called Lucky today to see if they have new talent available and she said all the girls had gone to a "ready party" or something like that. Anybody know what she was talking about?

I'd also be inclined to check their security cameras over the past year or so looking for him to see if he was doing any "intensive" research.
