Biden-flation, or just GPS?
[QUOTE=LbjLakers23;6235735]Crystal Spa.
Got there pretty soon after opening and saw Coco. She is a very beautiful girl and very accommodating. Really good massage with back walk. Then the flip for some fun. BBBJ, cg, rcg, BBBJ / HJ to finish. Really awesome time with her. $$. 8.[/QUOTE]This would seem to confirm that providers at Crystal, or at least Coco, are still trying to command a 200 tip on top of the 80 house fee. I know she's been trying to pull that for over a year, so not sure we can actually blame Sleepy-Joe. Some guys are paying it and others are refusing (as did I) and sticking to the long standard 160 FS tip (as is typical even today at Yoshiko).
I used to go to Crystal quite often (mostly to see Joann when she was there), but with Coco (and maybe the rest) trying to drive the costs up, [B]AND[/B] with Joann now working out of the standard-priced Yoshiko, I've sworn off Crystal completely. Just not worth the risk of getting lousy service from a provider that resents being told to accept the standard tip rate when they *think* they should get more.
Yoshiko, I took my own advice.
[QUOTE=TTY954;6236628]Take $240, ask for an hour visit, ask for a light massage, if they ask what you want, say "number three".
Also with Yoshiko, call and make an appointment or you may be waiting an hour or more.[/QUOTE]By a miracle of scheduling and stars aligning I was able to meet Joanne by calling ahead and getting a slot for her slit in 15 minutes. I am certain they forgot about me in the sauna, I had to let myself out when I couldn't take anymore! I prefer table showers but I understand the rules these days.
Joanne is by far the sexiest body of all of the AMP girls. And I had the standard good time with her. Better than most honestly. After we were done she introduced me to Hanna, who started hugging me and wouldn't let go. I know its all an act for funds, but does anybody have experience with her? Is she at least as fun as Joanne, or letdown in comparison?
Joanne confirmed she goes home at Christmas, she admitted they had been busy today too.
Joann vs Hanna at Yoshiko

While Hanna may be "[u]a lot of fun[/u]", I personally found her to be LESS so than Joann. That said, my PERSONAL taste has Joann at near the tippy-top of my ATF list, which is topped by Momo, with Soda a close second, then Joann. After that, it gets to be a crowded field among which is difficult to put any single one in 4th place. Even so, Hanna would not be my #4... but that's just me.
Osaka Spa on Hillsborough
Has anyone been to the old venerable Osaka Spa on Hillsborough half a mile east of I-275 lately? I'm contemplating something different than the same old "high-end" places like Yoshiko, Crysal. Etc. , and thought a decent FS Tier 2/3 place may be interesting just for a change of pace (and lower cost).
Last I knew (quite some time ago), Osaka was a reliable FS place for 80+120, but those rates may have bumped up (the last thing I want to do is overpay to accidentally drive the prices up for everyone else), and the talent may have changed over to something dramatically different. I'm assuming that, if they're even still open, the table shower is off the table as it's a Hillsborough County / Tampa City location. Any scoop or intel is appreciated.
