There are some things worth calling in sick to work for...
In life there are times when taking a risk, stepping outside of our comfort zone, doing something different...pays off. Most people would not peg me as the type of girl who would go to a strip club but I did. Last week was a 'Mad's birthday. We didn't really get to celebrate it on the actual day so one night we were talking on Messenger and I made the comment that it was too bad that there were no (good) strip clubs here. (There is one but it has a skanky rep...) Soooo...I said "Hey...why don't we go up to Boise" and he was into it. We were going to try and drag along another friend of ours, but it didn't work out for her to go. Kind of a bummer, but we had a good time nevertheless. It was a small place called Erotic City. Because of the ordinances (not sure if it's state or city) if an establishment serves alcohol the, strippers cannot be completely topless. Erotic City only serves non alcoholic drinks so the girls were topless. That was a big selling point for us. There were 5 dancers. Devon, Lily, Roxie, Issa and Brooke. They all did a great job. It takes ...something...to get up on stage in front of an audience and take your clothes off. Devon was notably more experienced than the others. She had a few neat tricks and she knew how to work the crowd. Issa was new and had a fresh quaility about her. She got singled out by a certain acquaintence of mine (*cough*'Mad*cough*) for a private dance. Lily and Roxie did their thing but didn't really peak my interest. Brooke, however... She made sure that "Miss Independant" will always bring a smile to my face... She had a spunky attitude and she was enjoying herself. 'Mad was kind enough to buy me a private dance (that did last a couple extra songs...*shrug*) I'll spare the details, but sufice it to say...it was memorable. And I think Brooke had fun too. She said she didn't often get to dance for girls and usually when there was a girl involved, she was half of a couple. She did give me a couple of pointers and we chatted, compared tattoos & I marvled at her ability to dance in heels. (------>!!)
'Mad was sure that I was bored because I did spend a lot of time sitting back at our table rather than right up on the rail throwing money at the girls. Truth be told I'm a bit of a voyeur and there is somthing entertaining about watching. The guys who try to casually saunter up and grab a front row seat, the nonchalant way they reach into their pocket and pull out a few dollars, and then place it up on the rail. Then they try to sit back and look impassive all the while eagerly anticipating when the dancer will come over and reward them. It's hard to explain the allure of strip clubs, but it's there. It's not for everyone, but if you have the curiosity, the impluse, the desire to go...then go and enjoy yourself. Appreciate the bodies, the personality, the sensual movement. Get a peek at another side of your friends and youself.
