Here it is so bite me already! Anyway, for years I post something on AFTSD and nobody says shit. This year, I figure that giving Shango the idea for the "Best of KwanzaSpeak" would be enough. But for some reason, all the boonies come out of the woodwork, and with a mere few hours left start giving me hell for not posting one. I've never really known what to put in AFTSD posts, and the really one incident that stands out in my mind over the years, was the time I got probably what is my all time fav, who was working in Houston at the time, to come back to my hotel room for some after hours nasty. I had gone down to Houston for business, and another business friend was coming in from California for the same. This guy had a customer, who had an employee, who was going to meet us and take us around that night, supposedly to show us a "good time". When I heard this, and knowing the guy from CA, this meant he thought he was going to get laid. If I'm not mistaken, I was in one of the two seperations I had with my ex wife. However, getting laid wasn't especially on my list of things to do. I was still pretty much strip club addicted back then. But, the bud from CA wanted to go clubbing with this guy, so after finally meeting up with him at the hotel lobby, we followed the guy out to party central of Houston. I'm not sure, but I thought it was off Richmond or something, south of downtown. We drive into this area, and there are people all over, I get the wonderful van parked and I find them standing by "Cabo". Here in Fort Worth they opened one of these up last year, but in Houston it was meat market central, I soon found out. We went inside. The bar area was assholes to elbows. Nothing but hung up looking, bummed out single young doods, and slick polished girls with boob jobs. I'm not talking strippers here...uh uhh, these were good, corn fed Texas girls. Pretty annoying, lots of the ole' kiss on the cheek, fake greeting, going on. Big groups of guys, and big groups of girls. Okay folks, I wasn't 21 at this time, and I'd been here and done this, and it sucked the first time. I wasn't in the mood. Too make a long story short, after hanging around about an hour, I told my bud he was on his own, and drove like mad hoping to get in an hour or so at my fav club before it closed, Caligula. This was before the crackdown in Houston. The ordinances had been passed, but they were on hold until the judicial system could have a whack at them. Caligula was the home of Nadia...or as some of the other strippers called her "Naughtya". She was the east german spy stripper. Tall, close to 6 feet, bleach blonde, big fake hooters, and some of the nastiest stripper garb I've seen on dancers. She was fun, no nonsense, no games, she knew what you wanted and was willing to oblige. She never pushed dances on me that I thought, and with that accent, you could really believe she was from Russia. The first time we had met, was with another friend over a year earlier, and she had told us she was from Russia, but she had written her pager number with curly "9"'s, and my west point grad bud said that was the way the east germans did it. Thus, we created her "east german spy stripper" persona. However, this time I had the feeling I was a little tired of Nadia, and hoped there might be some different action. But, it was late, about an hour before closing, and the serious nasty dancers already had their PL for the night. I was getting nothing, no walk by's, no smiles. Damn, this was bad. I had seen Nadia working the crowd earlier, but made no attempt to signal her. Finally, an "okay" looking dancer came over and I gave her a shot. She was young, had no idea of anything currently going on, and was actually pretty airy, a big no no, especially here and especially with me. She moved on. I was beginning to get scared, this wasn't a layover trip, it was tonight or nothing for entertainment, and Houston had never let me down. With about twenty minutes to go, here she came, out of the corner of my eye, Nadia had seen me. She comes up, friendly as ever, she sits, she dances a couple, and I wonder what in the hell was wrong with me, why didn't I grab her earlier when I had the chance. Last call, five minutes, and get out! Nadia had talked in the past of going to a hotel room or two, and so the idea came to my mind. We were saying how time had gone by so fast, and I told her "hey, I'm just down the road at the Hilton, if you want, come by and do some more dancing, no funny stuff, just whatever you want". She looked at me, hesitated and said something like, "well, I'm not sure it's late", but then said, "okay, I'll be over in a few minutes". I told her the room number and said I'd be up for twenty more minutes once I got there. She assured me she'd be there, which I already knew, in these cases, meant very little chance. But Nadia had always seemed pretty honest for some reason, or she was a good liar. I walked out, got in the van and drove it back to the hotel. I was in the room 5-10 minutes when there was a knock. I open it, Nadia strides in. She's wearing a white cotton workout suit, and she is really fucking, drop dead hott! (tm) in it too. I'd seen this happen before, with a dancer I knew in Vegas, who I went out with a couple of times to eat. The first time she was dressed in jeans and a sweater, and she looked even more of a knockout then she did in the club in her outfit. I wonder what this sensation is called, but a few of the other assc'ers I've mentioned it too, have agreed with me. By the way, as a short off topic mention here. The other time I went to eat with the dancer in Vegas, it was dinner. She showed up at the hotel to pick me up (ha...suckers), and she was wearing this full length black dress with a decent amount of cleavage showing. We went to some local mexican place and went in. Now, I paid attention because I knew what I had done as an observer in this situation in the past. EVERY guy (hey...EVERYBODY) in the place was staring at her, and then me, when we walked in, and I'm sure they all had the same question..."what in the world is that woman doing with that guy?". But fuck them, I had a damn good time, my ego ate their asses alive. Back to the story... Nadia comes in, askes me if I want her to dance nude or topless, I tell her topless, she says "well, sorry it will have to be nude since I'm not wearing any panties"...Gawd, what a line. She strips it off, not that I hadn't ever seen her pussy, Nadia would flash it continually while dancing, and while just sitting in your lap at the club. So, tune the radio, and I sit in the nice comfy chair while I obviously have the most fun laps of my life. It's grope central, and for my standards, it's all I want and lots of it. After awhile Nadia is doing some nice moves on the bed and says "you can masturbate if you'd like to". Huh hmmm, "well, uh, that really isn't one of my things"..."no problem, but you can if you want". Back then, I was still pent up about some things, and this was one of them. I also had the fact that I thought I might stay married by some miracle, but that wasn't the main idea. However, if Nadia had told me I could do a money shot on her, then that might have pushed me over the edge. Nowadays I might be more inclined to do it as well, however, nowadays I don't spend money that would entice a dancer back to the room anymore. If this is good or bad, I can't really tell. She mentions that there had been some guys in the past who had paid her just for her to watch them wank it. I've heard this line before, but I figure she might have really done it. Anyway, for about an hour, I'm having fun, Nadia is trying to become my second skin, and woody is at full attention. We talk some, Nadia was single back then, so no hurry to get along. I told her I'd try and look her up next time in Houston, and out she went. I've never had it happen again, and honestly don't really care if it ever does. It was great, it was fun, it was pathetic as hell, and no, I'm not telling how much it cost me. When she came in the room, I put down a certain amount of money on the end table and told her to do what she wanted for however long she wanted. I will say that it was comparable to how much I might have spent in 2-3 hours at the club, but this was pretty well non stop entertainment. Nadia made money, she was smiling when she left, and when I saw her again in Houston, right before she left for Vegas, she smiled at me then. She had moved from Caligula, but Jim Forte and I had found her after going to several other places. The laws were going into effect in about a week, but no one was sure if it would make a difference. They did. Nadia had told me she had already been ticketed a couple of times for "lewdness" and if the laws took effect, it would keep her from getting a license to dance. She said she would move to Vegas, and soon after, she did. I saw her again in Vegas, just this last Jan, during the CES get together. Jim had emailed me a month or so earlier, saying he had seen her in Cheetahs, and mentioned me to her. She said she remembered me. It had been well over a year, but I saw her one night in Cheetahs, when we jumped in there too get somebody. The place was packed, but to me she stood out as always. Blonde as usual, big firm tits as usual, see through white nothing of a dress on. She walked up, we hugged, talked a couple of minutes. I told her I would be back in before I left. But I never made it. By this time, my spending and interest in clubbing was on the waning side. Nowadays, the clubs are more social get togethers with another friend or two than a dance excursion. I knew I didn't really want to go in and spend serious money with Nadia, anymore than I would have with any other dancer there. Nadia was fun, but I never lost the context. I knew she was in it to make money, not to hang around. When I saw I wasn't interested in really getting dances, I had lost most of my interest. Nadia probably is my most all time fav dancer. I'm just glad I never ruined it by trying to think it was anything more than it was. Borly
