I've been neglecting you all lately, with infrequent updates, and I hope today makes up for it. I was swamped with setting up the new Loungestrippers Live cyber-sex project but that is now up and relatively smooth, so I have been able to spend more time back at the Lounge. It's fun to not have to DJ anymore and just chat with some of the people in the audience, of course always trying to tape as much footage for the big screen, for the "archives". Tonight a guy drove in from Cleveland saying that he'd seen
Mandy Goodhandy and some of my slave videos on
AEBN. He had been reading the website and wanted to check us out. I was so focussed on the cyber-sex that I wasn't totally paying attention to what Mandy has been creating at the Lounge on the weekends, because really, she is the brains and creativity behind the place. I do a lot in my own way, but she is to be commended for knowing how to run this sort of operation. Last 3 nude newbies were good in their own ways. I was in Daytona Beach last week so I missed the contest, but I saw the video. Apparently someone high up in fashionista scene came, and left pleased and enraptured, saying "that was such a surreal trip" (but in a good way). As we say, you never know what will happen at the Lounge. After two Mondays in a row with 4 hot contestants, a full house, and great energy, last Monday was a bit sparse - only 2 guys, and one of them was a guy with a big cock and average body who just stood on stage for two songs and played with his cock. There were no stills last week, but one of the strippers taped the show so I've made a video and will be playing it this weekend. It's nerve-wracking having a Newbie night, because you never know if there will be contestants, but after watching tonight's video, I remembered that I have to relax, seeing that we are creating a surreal and relaxed and sexy atmosphere and everyone is enjoying themselves. I am not apologizing people, Monday is becoming a very interesting "trip" and I encourage you all to check it out. Even if you are straight, bring your wife. (see below for a mini-rant on a related topic). Especially this coming month with the "Nude Male Model Search".This contest will be held over a period of 4 weeks, with a $200 cash prize each week. The guys who enter have to be willing to be in adult videos, as that is the other purpose of the night - to find new adult models for the sponsoring adult video company. So that will guarantee some more hot footage for the big screen - I'm sure Mandy create a visually stimulating display of nudity with the contestants.Tonight finally broke the spell of strippers wanting their faces blurred. We had some
interesting contestants tonight - the contest winner
Lex will be tried out this Friday and one of the other contestants
Antonio will be dancing this coming Saturday.The third contestant was a returning contestant -
Pickaso. Lex has potential, he's very energetic and I liked watching his dance style - he has a sense of humor and manages to be sexy at the same time.
Joey did another great show - for those who haven't met Joey he's been entering the Monday night contests since the beginning. He's very enthusiastic and likes to put on a show. He no longer enters the contest but has an open invitation to dance any Monday. The last two weeks we've had a first for the Lounge - a mixed male-female duo show. Starring Joey and various strippers from
upstairs.
Marcos is the latest dancer to have a jerk-off video, which we will be playing this weekend. It is one of my favorite so far, shot by our waiter Baby Mario.
*A mini-rant, or rather an explanation about Mondays.*
I have heard that some customers have commented on the females in the audience on Monday. Not to get all in your face, but I want everyone to understand that we believe in having a place where different genders get a chance to mix, and we still provide a men-only atmosphere on the weekends, because even though part of me think there is something wrong and segregationist about not letting women into the club on the weekend, I also like it and appreciate it and don't think there's a problem with having all-boys clubs for certain activity. But I think it's good for us to get past the gay-ghetto mentality of not mixing, and appreciate the girls in the audience (by the way, there is not yet very many females attending on Mondays, but we welcome them and encourage them to come, and some weeks there have been a handful). But guys, don't complain about Monday - if you can't get over your hang-ups about the opposite gender, just think selfishly, if you like seeing straight boys take their clothes off, what better way to make it happen, a mixed crowd! And you always have the weekend to bond with your brothers. (And finally, 3 newbies ago, I mentioned that most contestants wanted their face blurred, but they still look good in a line-up so
here's a pic from that night. One of the contestants is
Tiger, who ended up dancing and can be seen this weekend. His jerk-off video should also be ready for this weekend.
[NOTE, FEB.2005 - WE NO LONGER TURN AWAY FEMALES ON SATURDAY EVENINGS. TRUTH IS, IT IS GENERALLY AN ALL-MALE CROWD ANYWAYS, BUT FOR THE RECORD, WE ACCEPT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO COME TO THE LOUNGE]
