Wednesday Night Strip Clubbing

Ya know,

There’s really no delicate way I can …

Try to explain what situation of oddity I found myself in recently,

So I’ll just cut right to the chase …

This past Wednesday night I went to a strip club with 6 medical engineers I had just met at Friday’s.

There,

Now that you know the ending,

Let me tell you how it happened.

The night started off quite innocently,

As I had decided to engage in what I call an Easy Validation night.

Which mainly just means going to the bar in some chain restaurant, ordering dinner, having a drink, and on this evening, watching a bit of the Twins-Yankees game …

And socializing with whomever else was sitting at the bar near me …

Usually someone in town on business.

It’s easy,

Safe,

Plus I get to eat. 🙂

I kinda wanted to get there around 8:30ish …

So the game would be in play.

As such, I hit the mwall first …

To kill some time.

I really didn’t intend on purchasing anything,

And planned mainly to just check out Britney Spears’ perfume,

Curious …

Because a friend told me she was curious about it,

And likewise,

It got me Curious.

(Side note: I didn’t think it was bad, a nice scent, though the vanilla smelled a little too baby powderish to me. However, when my friend had checked it out earlier in the day, she ended up not liking it at all. So you’ll just have to decide for yourself. Either way, if you wear it … you’re Britney skanking, which personally, is something I would advise against !!)

I was also looking for a new pair of pumps …

Specifically,

I’m on the prowl for a square toe, black pump with a slender 2 1/2 – 3 inch heel.

I found the style I wanted at Aldo, but it was a 4 inch heel and I save that height for nighttime,

When I want to be the really tall blonde instead of just the tall blonde.

So I just decided to do some casual Amy-browsing.

Which at this particular mall means checking on the offerings at …

The Limited, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Casual Corner, Aldo, Nine West and Marshall Fields.

Banana Republic was closed for remodeling,

But I hit all the rest and made spontaneous acquisitions at three of them.

And in case my future husband is reading this post,

Please note that each and every item was acquired at a substantial savings !!

At The Limited I purchased a $49.99 simple black skirt (which I might add looks great on me) for $19.99 and a “too low-cut to wear around my parents” $39.99 top for a mere $9.99.

At Casual Corner I purchased a suit that I had my eye on for a couple of weeks, an attractive charcoal grey pinstripe pantsuit that fit me nicely … regularly priced at $249.99. I took advantage of two special savings deals going on there and paid only $111.99 !!

See dear … look at all the money I’m saving us !!! 🙂

However,

I will admit,

I made an acquisition at Marshall Fields that I should not have done.

As this was purely and simply a want, not a need.

In fact, I’m so embarassed that I succombed to allowing a material acquisition fulfill karnal desires … that I”m not going to even tell you what it was … however I can say I got it for 65% off !!!

By the way … have I ever mentioned how much I love Coach products ?? 🙂

Anyways …

After finishing my shopping,

I decided to go to Friday’s.

It’s a familiar place,

I like their hamburger,

I know all the bartenders, and …

They’ll usually let me watch whatever I want to watch on the tube.

However,

When I got there …

The place was packed.

Which is not how I expected or wanted it.

Usually at this time of night on a weeknight …

There are available seats on multiple sides of the bar so I can choose my bartender and my seating location.

However,

As I was completing my walk around the bar …

I found only one barstool that possibly appeared available.

It was four seats in from a corner of the bar,

There were three guys obviously together in the seats between the corner of the bar and the possibly available seat …

And their group appeared to round the corner to include another three bar stools.

For a brief moment I was thinking about just going someplace else for dinner and a beer.

There’s a sports bar across the street where I actually go from time to time,

But it’s a higher risk venue for me,

Being a more frequent hangout for people from my past.

Finally,

I resigned myself to the fact that I really didn’t want to expend any more effort thinking of a place to get a burger,

And …

Asked the gentleman on the left side of the seat if they were using the seat to which he replied no.

Then asked the cute dude to the right of the seat if he was saving it for someone,

To which his buddy two seats down quickly answered for him …

“Only for you !!”

Well,

I thought as I slid onto the bar stool and scooched myself towards the bar,

Looks like I’ve acquired some fans already.

“Coors Light?“, the bartender mouthed to me me which I nodded a reply yes.

Upon delivery of my watered down beer of choice,

I placed my regular order …

Cheeseburger, no cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion.

“And tell them they owe me some extra fries from last time when they skimped out on me !”

Now I’ll admit,

From the moment I sat down,

It was my intention to strike up a conversation with the dude sitting to my right.

I pegged him as having Hawaiian ancestory right away,

Which in my personal opinion …

Offer some of the most perfect male physical specimens planet Earth has to brag about,

And this dude was clearly in that category.

So while I started to nurse my Coors Light,

And watched a really good Twins-Yankees game …

I eavesdropped on the conversation of the group of six men saddled up to the bar on my immediate right and around the corner.

Now I was doing all the things a girl intentionally, yet innocently, does to get a guy to talk with her …

But I was getting no love in response.

Oh … I could tell he noticed me,

And I knew he wanted to talk to me,

It’s just that he wasn’t.

Grrrrr … men !!!! 🙂

So at a commercial break I figured I’d hand deliver him an invitation to talk to me and asked …

“So, are you in town on business?”

Yeah, yeah, yeah … I already knew he was,

In fact, I knew more about him that he would even venture to guess …

But he seemed sort of shy,

So I was sort of hoping my initiative would get him talking.

And fortunately for both of us …

It did !! 🙂

We ended up having a very pleasant conversation …

And I learned they were a group of medical engineers that had just met each other earlier that day who were apparently in town for some training of sorts.

I was certainly enjoying the one-on-one talking with him,

It was very easy,

Casual,

And paced nicely to allow me to keep track of the Twins-Yankees game.

However,

It wasn’t long before a few of his friends had joined up,

Standing behind me,

Including the one dude that practically jumped to offer me that seat a short bit earlier.

I soon found myself getting plenty of attention …

From the group of several incredibly good looking men.

So I figured I’d impress them with a Jedi bar trick,

And promptly dazzled them by “guessing” each of their home states.

From then on I was beyond showered in attention …

And, of course, I did nothing to encourage them. 🙂

Eventually,

I had satisfied my desire to be social,

And the Twins had tied up the game,

So I was ready to dig into my burger,

Enjoy my beer,

And watch the game.

However,

The small talk continued …

With each and every one of them.

NY was very much into me …

Laying on compliments and lines only a very cute, drunk Italian boy from the City can say where they actually sound sincere,

Even though he’s probably tossed them out thousands of times in the past.

Anyways,

After giving them some ideas of places to check out while they are in town …

And being appreciative, but non-commital to the repeated requests to go out to dinner with NY …

I tried again to give my attention to my dinner and the television.

But NY, HA, NE and FL were going to go to a nearby strip bar …

And NY was giving me the hard press to join them.

“So Amy, do you know about the strip club across the street?”

“Of course I do,” said without turning my attention away from the television screen, “I just clocked out from there.”

“What ??? You work there ??”

“I really don’t consider it work, it’s more like getting paid for a good workout.”

“Seriously?”

“Why do you think I’m paying for my meal in singles?”

“Wow,” said NY to NE, “You think she’s wearing red underwear?”

“Who said,” I taunted with a quick glance and turn away at NY, “that I’m wearing underwear?”

Seriously people,

I don’t know where that krap comes from …

They are certainly not Amy original lines,

As if necessary, I could identify each of my friends I plagarized.

It’s just that sometimes,

I really can’t help myself,

Nor care to exercise any restraint.

Now,

I think it was that last line that got them all.

And I found myself basically having to push them out of the bar to go to their strip club …

Leaving me to enjoy my meal.

However,

They left only after I promised them that I might catch up there with them later.

And only four of the six left,

TX and PA stayed behind.

TX was a gentleman and pretty much stuck to maintaining a conversation with someone on his side of the bar …

But PA was giving me the full court press.

He was drunk off his butt,

However he didn’t act drunk …

Except showing bravery I doubt he’d exhibit in a sober state.

He asked me to go to his hotel room with him at least a half dozen times,

Resulting in an equal number of “No thank you’s” from me.

And he was the first man to ever ask me …

“Are your breasts real?”

Every now and then,

While I tried to finish my burger,

Be pleasant to drunk PA,

And watch the game …

TX would come over and give me a backrub,

Offering me a break from PA’s persistent attempts to get me to sleep with him.

Finally,

I finished enough of my meal …

And decided to bug out.

I thanked PA for all his nice compliments,

Declined one last request to go back to his hotel room,

And said goodbye to TX.

(I should say though that when leaving, TX asked me to assist him in a prank on PA, which I did not only convincingly, but without a moment’s hesitation, a feat I’m pretty sure earned myself a place in his “Really Kewl Chick” Hall of Fame.)

Once in my car …

I started to head home,

But decided to swing by the strip club first.

Thinking I might actually go in and join them.

I sat in the parking lot a few minutes,

Trying to decide if I should walk in there …

To meet up with the guys that had left earlier,

Who adored me in a flattering, pleasant way.

I flipped-flopped a few minutes,

But finally turned my car off and walked into the strip club.

Now,

I think it’s been probably 15 years since I’ve been in such a place …

And when I walked in the building,

I was surprised at how not-dirty it appeared.

I expected a lot of slime and smoke and ugh …

But it was very clean,

Not nearly as dark as I expected,

And really didn’t present to be that slutty.

There was a big dude right inside the door …

So I stopped at him and said I was looking for …

“Your boyfriend“, he offered.

“No, just some friends of mine. Oh, there they are,” I answered and started to walk towards their table.

“There’s a $4 cover ma’am.”

“I’m not paying any cover, get one of those butts over their to pay my way in, they are the ones daring me to show up.”

And that’s exactly what he did …

Obtaining $4 from NY who came to my cover rescue.

Now I didn’t stay a long time by any means,

Though it was far from a quick visit.

But I can say …

The guys absolutely loved me,

Especially NY,

And I had a blast.

There was a lot of laughing, talking and joking around …

It felt just like old times,

Though it wasn’t.

The boys wanted to buy me a lap dance,

Which I adamently refused,

Reminding them they were lucky I showed up in the first place.

I really didn’t look much at the girls,

However I will admit …

I did notice that though they were all very cute,

My breasts bested them all !!! 🙂

When I left,

NY walked out with me,

Though I left him at the entrance,

Where he watched me get to my car.

As I approached my car,

I couldn’t help but notice I was looking right at …

The bowling alley were I used to spend my Wednesday nights.

Wow,

A lot can change in a year.

I’m sure there’s some meaning there …

Irony or something,

But on this past Wednesday night,

After an evening of non-stop flattering attention from a collection of incredibly good looking, intelligent men …

Sitting close to a gorgeous NY boy,

With his arm around me,

Engaging in lots of fun, flirtatious brushes of touch and close speak,

Having a Coors Light in my hand which I didn’t have to spring for,

Watching a really good play-off game on the tube, and

Seeing out of the corner of my eye the spectacle of an attractive woman giving a lap dance to the guy sitting on the other side of me,

Well …

I really wasn’t thinking much at all about bowling !!! 🙂

Editor’s Note: I would like to put any inquiring minds at ease and point out that I remained fully clothed the entire evening and as hard as it might be for some to imagine, behaved very classy the entire evening !! 🙂 Yes, there is a balance that one can strike between being fun, edgy and respectable at the same time. About the only first that came out of the evening was that it was the first time I ever kissed a guy … in a strip club that is !! 😉
