i am in a stripclub with Writercon people. They said burlesque but no this is lapdances and bad 80s rock. so i'm sitting here in a suit spitting out torchwood fic bunnies. The strippers can't dance but now they are stripping to The Who.

What. The. Fuck!?!?!

How, er, picaresque.

Sounds like you hand Surrealios for breakfast! Don't forget to tip your dancer! ;-p

(I just got back from a last minute bellydance gig. A friend had a couple dancers drop out last minute and asked if I could fill in. It was fun, included the last minute song change (the women right in front of me danced to the exact same song I'd picked). Crazy, but fun!

Can't decide whether I wish I was there or am very, very glad that I'm not.

Me too, me too.

I'm going with not.

Well, not as expected. But naked women = YAY

It’s weird — I’ve never met anyone who’s enjoyed their visit to a strip club.

From reading stuff like this, my impression is that part of the appeal of the strip club is the ability to give a beautiful woman hundreds of dollars in exchange for her pretending to actually like you. It boggles my mind that anyone could suspend disbelief thoroughly enough to make this kind of experience worth the money to them.

I hope the strippers stripped to something like Eminence Front and not Boris the Spider. :D

I would pay cash to see some strip to Boris the Spider. That would make my day.

I once went to a strip club in Atlanta and it was a truly surreal experience.

The best part of the evening for me (and we use the word 'best' here loosely) was when I needed to use the bathroom. They had no public ladies room, so I used the toilets the strippers used in their dressing rooms. I rather enjoyed the moment of genuineness that came when one peeks behind the curtain, so to speak. It was way more revealing than any single moment of them on stage (FYI, they get completely naked in Atlanta).

Buh?

I'd once imagined someone sitting in a strip club writing. Thanks for letting me know this actually happens.

*chooses maybe his most inappropriate icon for talking about strip clubs*

P.S. The strippers stripping to "Baba O'Reilly" would've just been sad. I hope that didn't happen.

oh lord. I'll get the scoop in a little while, but where on earth did you go???

[cozzene.livejournal.com]

omg there's nowhere decent in MPLS for that sort of thing; And I know the disgusting place you likely got dragged to. They should be ashamed.

IMHO, The best burlesque in town is this http://www.lilisburlesque.com/ and I think that Sweetpea is especially talented.

I once did a production of Grease upstairs at a strip club.

Don't ask.

The strip club was definitely anti-climactic. The Bettie Page look alike had merits, and was a serious fangirl, so we paid for a lap dance and basically she sat there with her shirt off talking about her dissertation. It was a wholly surreal experience.

On the other hand, your suit was made of yay.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who went...

a) The Who for the win. Feather duster used as bizarre spanking paddle? No. Just no.

b) Blue Drinks and Dancing Girls for the win. Ten dollar blue *shots* and nothing resembling a pole to be seen? No. Just no.
