Fresh Pix

OK, now I've rested, so I had time to put together some more pix from the past week or so. Note for PIckaso's fans - he's making his first weekend appearance tonight, so check out this past Nude Newbie contestant with a big black cock.
Here are the new pix:

Update - Blizzard

I didn't make it to Newbie night on Monday, due to the blizzard, but believe it or not there were a handful of people at the Lounge. Mitch trudged in on TTC from downtown and was waiter, DJ, and dancer. A new guy from Brazil came in and auditioned in front of the audience. Another younger, toned guy also made it - I don't know his name, Mandy will probably put pix of him in her next gallery. I'm going to have more pix soon, but I didn't want to go to bed without showing you a sample of tonight - (which was a HOT night, 7 dancers, a late-night birthday party with all kinds of group shows).

9th Review - "Hot dancer Anthony"

It had been a long week, I was tired but on Friday I made my way to the Lounge. The guys were a diverse bunch and I'm sure most people would be able to find a dancer to their liking. For me the choice was easy - Anthony comes across as hi-energy and cocky on stage but was easygoing when he sat next to me to chat (I asked another dancer to send him over to my table). The guy has a mischievous grin, intense eyes and washboard abs - I asked him to give me a private dance. Anthony oozes sexuality with every move of his hot body - he has been fuelling my fantasies ever since the encounter - It was exactly what I needed. Todd and Amanda are to be commended for bringing this entertainment to west end.
Thanks, Doug - a VERY satisfied customer

Nude Newbies Week 7

Amanda has decided to schedule only 2 of the regular guys each Monday night, to warm-up the audience and get a chance to work for VIP dances. This week it was Silver and Anthony, and it seemed to work out nicely with only the 2 of them. Lucca came as a customer, and Mitch did his first night as a waiter. Thanks to all who were patient at the beginning of the night - we got slammed with about 20 customers within five minutes and Mitch was a bit overwhelmed - so Lucca took off his shirt, grabbed a tray, and helped to get things under control. Next week we'll be prepared with two waiters. Contest winner Josh is a hot guy - come back this weekend to check him out on the main stage. Nice crowd, a lot of familiar faces from the other club I work at, surprised to see me here, and the assistant art director from Sugar, a movie I co-wrote and one that Amanda has a role in. Amanda got all four guys who entered the contest into the strip-off, limiting them to the main stage, so that was quite a sight.
Here are some of the other pix from tonight:

Cold outside but HOT in the Lounge

After the last few weeks of brutally cold weather and the holidays, we really caught our rhythm this weekend. We had 7 dancers on both Friday and Saturday, and were pretty near capacity all night. We introduced Anthony (winner from Nude Newbie contest on Monday) and he seemed to do well. Thanks to all the customers who are making the travel (from Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph, and the occasional Torontonian) in this cold weather. Here are some pix from the weekend.

Nude Newbies Week 6

'Twas a cold, cold January night but we still had a party. SIX of our regular dancers showed up tonight (Monday night is "Nude Newbie" night, which means our regular guys are not required to show up, but are always welcome to entertain and warm-up the crowd). A few Mondays past we were PACKED, and ever since then our guys have been hanging out hoping for a repeat night. So if you're considering coming out on the weekend but can't make it, please do come by on Mondays because the boys are making it. There were also 4 newbies in the contest (well, one of them was Joey, who has entered the contest numerous times, so I guess he's not that new). Anthony was the contest winner, and he will be returning this weekend to try out stripping "Lounge-style" to see if he likes it. I took some photos last night of Joey's awesome candle show (he poured a bottle of champagne all over himself, as well as wax), and some other candid shots. Remember, Monday is a MIXED crowd, which means we always welcome ladies, especially the ladies from upstairs at the straight strip-club which rents the Lounge to us. See you this weekend. Here are links to the photos from tonight:

8th Review

After attending the Lounge for the third time (Last being Jan 9th. I must say that I enjoyed every minute of it. Todd and Amanda you are great hosts, and your waiters are very cordial and pleasant to deal with. Your male dancers are second to none, Silver, Mello, DeMarco, Lucas, and especially Steve and MitchThe atmosphere of your club is very comfortable and I will be back again and again.I think I have become addicted.
Thanks,

Shemale Stripper Amber Returns

I was happy to get a call from Amber (who I went to university with, and was a co-cast member with on Kink2 with) last week. She was one of the original shemale strippers, and had taken a leave of absence a few months back. She's returning for a few weeks, or longer, and will be seen at both our locations - the Lounge on Wednesday, and downtown on Tuesdays. We've got some new blood coming to the Shemale Strippers soon - a pair of shemales that will be working as a duo act only, until they are comfortable with stripping solo. Check the Ladyplus website for updates as to when they will be starting. I also took some new shots of Aloha on Wednesday - as usual, she is very picky about her images, so this is the only one she approved. Isn't she beautiful?

5th Nude Newbie Night

Another Monday, another nude newbie night. This week brought us 3 new newbies. Well, of the 3, two have already entered in the past (DeMarco and Joey), but Pickaso was a true new nude newbie. To round off the entertainment, four of our regular weekend dancers made appearances (after hearing that Silver entertained a full house on his own last week, they didn't want to miss out on the potential cash). Mitch, Mello, Steve Works, and Silver all showed up to perform before and after the contest.
I had another customer tell me that Mello provides the BEST VIP dance they've experienced in their life. Celebrity guests include Mitchel Raphael (editor of fab Magazine) and Paul Bellini, award-winning writer (Kids in the Hall) and "Troll" columnist at fab.
Monday favorite Joey made his usual good impression on the crowd, with his hyper dance style and active "chain-work". Pickaso was a pleasant surprise - at first he looked like a shy guy, maybe just on stage to see if he could win $50, but he was actually quite comfortable socializing the room, meeting the mostly male audience, and definitely did his share of VIP dances in the back. (Joey MIGHT have done his first dance with a male, but we'll leave that for you to find out - he's VERY shy about dancing for men, being a totally straight boy, but I know he's been asked numerous times, and he just MIGHT have taken someone up on it... but I won't tell, you have to find out for yourself.) I will tell you that Joey is a bit kinky, and took his late-night candle show a little further than before, pouring candle directly down his underwear much to the audience's delight. And poor Stevie Works, who innocently danced on stage during Joey's show to attempt a duo, which resulted in Joey screaming and running away (Stevie hadn't been informed that Joey doesn't do duos...) But at least he tried. It's currently late Tuesday afternoon and I have to get ready for our downtown Shemale Strippers where tonight marks the return of famous shemale stripper "Amber" (also known as "Nina" on the Showcase series "Kink"). So I don't have a lot of time to do tons of pix from last night, but here are a few to give you a taste:

7th Review - by Paul Bellini

We had the honor of award-winning writer Paul Bellini (Kids in the Hall, fab magazine columnist "Troll") on Monday, and at my request, he sent this review of his experience.
I agree with his criticisms: the prices are a bit steep, unfortunately that is one area we have no control in, it is the standard "strip-club" prices for Mississauga and we don't own the club or earn anything from liquor sales. (Also, as a general rule, it's safer getting bottled drinks when you're buying from strip clubs in the airport area, ie: get Beer or Vodka Coolers instead of mixed drinks.)
We're working on purchasing a video projector so that we can play Mayhem North videos, I am hoping this will be operational within a month at latest. Here's Paul's Review:

"I went to the Lounge for an amateur night one Monday in January, not knowing what to expect. The club is far away, but worth the trip for one very important reason - body hair. The strippers don't shave or wax or anything horrible like they do at other male strip joints. They are rough and natural and sexy. One of the dancers that night looked like a fur rug, and one of them even had facial hair, which is very rare on a stripper. It helped also that the waiter was unbelievably cute. (THIS WAS NICK)
My friend and I kept hoping he'd put down the drink tray and jump on stage, but sadly, it didn't happen. By far my favorite of the dancers was a scruffy guy named Mitch, who reminded me of a sexy hillbilly. He couldn't dance at all, which just made him seem even hotter. I wish I had stayed for a table dance.The atmosphere of the club was very Sudbury - casual and unpretentious. Everyone seemed to be having fun. They could improve a few things, though - less horrible love ballads and more sleazy rock songs, for instance, and how about putting up some hot pictures on the big screen mounted over the stage, and charging less than four dollars plus for a bottle of water! - but I'll be back. It was lots of fun."

6th Review - "The Latest and Greatest..."

Lounge Regulars James and Paul decided to write a review, after their 3rd visit.

WOW! The Latest & Greatest Gay Venue--and in the suburbs no less! My partner and I enjoy an evening out from time to time, and "adult themes" fit in quite nicely to our plans. So, for the last month or so we have been putting in the odd appearance at the Strippers Lounge.

Amanda is a "fabulous hostess" who immediately makes you feel welcome. She interacts with the audience, dancers and staff as she weaves her way around the club making for a class act all around.

The dancers--well, what can we say? Young, hung and absolutely willing to do anything on a chain or on stage... and then you can take them behind the dividers in the VIP area. Not to be missed. Lots and lots of FUN.

Reasonable admission, fair drink prices, (*NOTE FROM TODD: WE DON'T OWN THE BAR, AND HAVE NO SAY IN THE DRINK PRICES, WE RENT THE ROOM AND THE COVER CHARGE IS OUR ONLY INCOME) and an evening's worth of fun anytime you make the time. Definitely worth checking out...and then you can always check Todds Blog to see what you missed if you had taken the time to make it out!We'll be back...See you soon?

5th Review - "It's Like Being in Amanda and Todd's Living Room"

Lounge Regular Doug decided to write a second review, after visiting the Lounge 7 times

THE LOUNGE – IT GROWS ON YOU
On a drizzly Friday night at about 10:00 P.M. I decided to drive out to Mississauga and see the boys at The Lounge – a new male strip club. On my drive out with two friends, I began to question why I was doing so when there are a number of places I can go to in the “Village” which is within walking distance from my apartment. It was my seventh trip to the Lounge which does its male strip gig on Friday, Saturday and Monday nights. The other nights are devoted to Shemale strippers --- bad enough male strippers in Hazel Country but can you imagine shemales as well? Hazel would truly need a respirator to get over that one.
On my way back home, we talked a bit about the experience and the bottom line is that we enjoyed it a lot. Certainly, I was very content having experienced the best VIP dance ever with hot and horny Mello, one of the club’s boys. He was so hot that even at my age I jerked off when I got home just thinking about him. Also, I thought a lot about why the Lounge turns me on. On the surface, most indicators might point to the Lounge as a somewhat unsophisticated, unorganized place. It lends new meaning to the phrase “laid back”. The boys don’t continuously harass you if you are over 30 trying to coerce you into the VIP booths so they can make some cash. They too are “laid back”. Nick, the one waiter goes about his business in a quiet, unassuming and efficient manner. With some exceptions, one begins to wonder why the hosts, Amanda Taylor, of shemale fame or infamy and Todd Klinck, definitely of KINK fame and infamy don’t get a choreographer and whip some of these boys into shape --- professional dancers they are not and perhaps never will be. Amanda greets you at the door and then roams the room with her wireless mic announcing dancers and making comments. Klinck acts as the DJ and is constantly running back and forth from his station located up front close to the stage. In fact, he moves around so much your head starts to spin from watching him. Sounds crazy --- so what draws me to make the drive to sprawling Mississauga where you have to pack a lunch just to get across an intersection? Last night it hit me. It’s the very things that I just described. It’s the laid back attitude and ambiance and the homey atmosphere --- the not knowing what may come next. Just as an example, at one point last night, there were five naked boys being as creative as one’s imagination can fantasize --- all on stage at the same time with Amanda, the hostess egging them on, again with her portable mic in hand and her purse or suitcase slung over her shoulder. At another point, Klinck the KINK gets on stage, unfortunately fully dressed keeping you wondering what the hell he has going for him other than his claim to be a wicked junior master --- and starts to spank Toby, one of the hot dancers. Before you know it Steve – another dancer joins in and takes over beating Toby’s ass. Klinck better watch out or Steve make usurp his position as the king of young, dominant and ruthless MASTERS. To top it off, after Toby is standing there, legs and ass cheeks spread with a very noticeable red ass, Amanda announces that Mello, the hot horny one who gave me the best VIP dance ever is coming on stage to make it all better. Melo jumps up on the stage, places his mouth clearly over Toby’s ass and begins to kiss it --- making it all better. So, it’s a unique place and both Amanda and Todd are no fools. It’s obvious that they know what they are doing. After all, neither of them is a novice to the “sex” scene. They know what we perverts like, what turns our crank and that’s exactly what they deliver. It’s all those things that at first appear boring and banal that are anything but --- they make the place a success, at least from my perspective and I am no novice to the male strip club scene --- as a client, not a dancer --- after all who wants to watch a sixty year old strut whatever stuff he has left. It’s like being in Amanda and Todd's living room with some down to earth, real boys --- no attitude, aiming to please --- and please they do.I should mention Monday nights when they audition new dancers by holding an amateur night --- I have come to love them --- it’s a fun night, again, in a very laid back way.
Bottom line? I love the place. It’s real and the boys know what they are about and more important why us guys are sitting there. If one is looking for down to earth reality, in a casual setting, with hosts Taylor and Klinck being no fools and dancers that deliver, it’s worth a trip to Mississauga.

ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY

Friday January 2, 2004
One month on....
"You never know what's going to happen at the Lounge but it's always going to be friendly".
This is one of the things Amanda said on the mic tonight, and after talking to you guys at the club, I'm glad to hear we're creating a friendly atmosphere. Don't ever hesitate to let me know if you have a problem or something nice to say. Tonight was a good night. 6 Dancers, a decent sized crowd, Adam, our back-up waiter made an appearance, and Mitch returned after missing last week with a haircut and a trim of his beard that makes him look hotter than ever.
Mello was also in tonight.
Kinkiness seemed to be the theme tonight, after the regular 3 cycles of dancers the floor is open to random shows and kinkiness (we welcome audience participation, just ask us first so we can be reassured that your participation will be within the law).
A festive line-up started with Toby, back for his second time. Toby was joined by Steve Works (who I think is so sexy in an unconventional but conventional and perverse all at the same time way) and then joined by Mello (who was at Nude Newbie night a few weeks back) and then finally Mitch, making this our first foursome. (More pix here and here.)
After that, Silver entertained, and then I made my first appearance on the Lounge stage, doing a live spanking on Toby. This kid from Ajax is a pervert guys, on the surface he's so blonde and blue-eyed and innocent looking, but underneath.... well let's just say that he's pretty open-minded. I was joined by Steve Works, who seemed excited to get a chance to spank Toby, and we spanked him together, in the middle of the room on the chain and on the stage. Mitch came up to get a closer look, adding to the voyeurism of it all. For the finale, Mandy made Mello kiss Toby's ass better. As it got late, the shows got sparser, as the boys had been entertaining all evening and now it was time for them to make their dollars, but Steve Works hopped on stage with a barstool and an erection and entertained the last two guys sitting front row. DeMarco appeared from the VIP booth with a HUGE hard-on and jumped onstage to pretend to fuck Steve across his barstool. I like watching Steve and the others get involved, they're getting into the flow of things. My prediction is that Steve is going to become one of the star dancers. Speaking of star dancers, Rabbit disappeared again, it's obvious he's going to just be one of those great things that stumbles in once in a while and then disappears into his other life and / or partying. The good thing is he's a really sweet guy and doesn't get messy when he shows up, so stay tuned, there might be future sightings of Rabbit hopping around.I'm not on tomorrow, but say hi to Amanda and Nick and whoever ends up waitering.

4th REVIEW

I've only been out of the closet for 5 years and so have not had alifetime of experiences with places like The Lounge. I have, however, in that short space of time visited a number of venues across Canada as well as in the States and Europe. On the basis of 2 Monday and one Friday visit, I must say that the Lounge rates very highly for its atmosphere: rather laid-back - relaxing rather than punchy-active but still vibrant, welcoming rather than just accepting, serving rather than hustling. I've really enjoyed the dancers, especially Justice, Silver and Mellow, and wish Sirus (a Newbie) had stuck around for a while last Monday.The whole place seems rather wholesome...a rather strange term to use for a gay strip joint. But people of like minds should be able to enjoy themselves in harmony, safety and comfort. I find those qualities here.Chris
