From: EYE Subject: ASSC: aftsd..."YGWYPF" Debunked Date: Tue, 02 Dec 1997 12:02:39 +0000 [Erip] I spent my share of weekends perving the Melody Mardi Gras. What you seem to have forgotten was that aside from some of the era's porn stars (e.g. Bambi Woods, Seka) who did feature shows and then joined the house dancers for the $1 laporama, the vast majority of the Melody roster consisted of dancers who wouldn't get hired at the skuziest of sleazeatoriums nowadays. The pretty to beautiful young woman that now predominate in the SC's were drawn to the business by post-Melody quintouple digit inflation in the price of lap dances. Since ASSC is so fond of acronyms, keep this one in mind: YGWYPF (You get what you pay for!). [EYE] If SC wisdom was as simple as "YGWYPF", then there would be no need for this group. The fact of the matter is that you *don't* get what you pay for.... quite the opposite in fact. Unlike buying family size at the grocery store, strip clubs don't really offer a "volume discount". Okay, you might get a 3 for 50 as opposed to the 1 for 20, and that might seem like a bargain, but you only get one first impression, one seduction ritual, one lingering goodbye smile per transaction. Compare the dollar per hormone rush synapse quotient of method acting $20 lap dances with the cheap thrills of a pass the pussy dollar a pop grope-a-dope scumatorium, and most red blooded males will opt for the latter. And, by the way, I beg to differ about your "pretty to beautiful young woman" characterization above. The self consciously "beautiful" types are frequently ice queens, mercenaries or high toned phonies. Unless your lap satisfaction criteria is based solely on the most superficial impressions, girl next door types at the less pretentious clubs offer a more soulful bill of goods. No doubt, there are a lot of guys who agree with you regarding YGWYPF, and for your type there are Deja Vus and other chrome and glitz palaces with precious metal monikers, valet parking and all the other trappings of pretentious class, but I'm not buying it AT ALL. Give me a round the way girl stuffing her garters with Georges *anyday* over your silicone injected showgirl automatons.
