And here I was planning on getting a haircut this week.

Easter weekend was a gas, mostly because of the news that my brother-in-law has a gig working the door/security at the local nudie bar. Definitely livened up the conversations at the dinner tables on Saturday and Sunday; he's already made the transition from "This job is gonna be SO cool!" to "This job kind of sucks", as I imagined he would after his first day.
I'm expecting to get some pretty neat stories to share, along with free passes to the club, soon!
Exactly, Vin. When I was single, had some money to burn, and would go to such places, the thrill wears off after about a half-hour to an hour. By then, you've seen all the dancers working that shift and their assets, made your judgments about which one you liked enough to consider getting a lapdance (likely event of the night) or VIP room visit (rare), or if you and your buddy want to shoot a game of pool instead.
My brother-in-law's also reaffirmed that the majority of the dancers have more issues than the National Geographic. Drugs, booze, daddy problems, pimps, finances, etc. as well as an almost universal loathing of men in general. To be fair, though, some dancers like guys, have no real issues other than making money for college or something, and have relatively normal lives, but those ladies are in the minority.
He did say, however, that this particular club is going upscale - better dancers, renovations to the building, dress codes, etc. to cater to a higher (translate: more professional, wealthier) clientele (think Scores in NYC, or the Penthouse Club). Which is fine, and makes a lot of sense, but I'd figure they really need to expand the building to really compete with the Philly and NYC clubs.
Truth be told, I never saw the appeal of strip clubs. Yes, I've gone to them... but where other men go batshit insane with stuffing singles into g-strings, I just felt cold. I could never figure out whether it was a latent Puritanical streak in me, or the fact that beautiful women should just be admired...
It's been quite a long time since I went to one, and even when I was younger, I'd go somewhat sporadically. Chances are, if I do wind up going to the one my brother-in-law works at, after about five minutes, I'd be more interested shooting the shit with him than watching any of the action on stage. Hey, I'm married, I can get the real thing at home.
