So I finally made it!
Where to, you ask? Well, I'll tell you monsieurs and madams -- Le Strip Club!
...And I had a BALL! *Hits TI shuffle*.
I've been wanting to go for quite some time now, but the opportunity never seemed to arise.
I've always said that this would be something I'd want to do with my significant other, but why the heck should I wait for that? Now, for some of you I know the strip club probably seems degrading and so this post is definitely not going to be your cup of tea because, now having gone, as a female, I have to say, going to the strip club was quite possibly one of THE most liberating experiences in my life. As a girl's night out, this was a good ass time. There were drinks, music and Cirque du Soleil acrobatics that just so happened to be performed by beautiful, naked women. This place was in fact AWESOME and les-be-honest, I definitely see why some men go.
So, now for the play-by-play:
When we arrived, we were kindly greeted by our male host, checked our coats and escorted to the main area. There were two floors; bar and stage on the main floor and another bar with seating on the second. There wasn't any open seating on the first floor and although the pole did extend all the way to the second floor we didn't want to sit in that section as we wouldn't really be able to see the main show. We'd gotten in around 12:30/1am and there wasn't much action so we decided to just hang around the bar and wait for a table to open up while debating if we wanted to take the party elsewhere. FINALLY a table opens up right in front of the stage. We get some drinks, some singles and wait for the show to begin. Again, it's still a little slow so we ask the host -- who had absolutely no qualms about sharing with us that the club was in fact associated with the porn company Vivid Entertainment -- If we could A) Request a Ratchét song a 'la "Pop That" and B) If there were any girls that "Bandz" would in fact make dance; and boy did we get it. First of all, she was gorgeous, she was hilarious, and she was talented. O'girl put in work. Next thing you know, we were throwing dollars and neatly placing singles in g-strings.The craziest part was, as the ONLY other females in the club, my friends and I were the ones really making the place pop. I was completely surprised. Within an hour or so of us having been there, while the men were still acting scared

No shade to the men, but aside from the birthday party we were originally there for, the night really did become about ladies celebrating ladies. I mean we had just met some of these girls and already, not only had we become oddly protective of them like friends we'd known for years but they were trusting enough make it rain on us and have us recycle the funds.
They trusted us with their funds! Where and when in real life does this happen?!?!?
Constant praise for each others talents, open appreciation for the human form, honest conversation, trust. It was a true sisterhood. I mean, sheesh; if that's not feminist, I don't know what is.
Look, I don't know, maybe it is just me, but if women acted like it was girl's night at the strip club in everyday life, then maybe we'd all be a little better off. Do you agree...Or #IsItJustMe
Oh, random side note: Shade Free Anonymous here, but WHY did we see Mr. Shad Moss aka Bow Wow in the club all by himself looking creepy, ummm, I mean lonely? The story about his 106 firing may have turned out to be false but sir, please still have several seats
P.S. -- Still can't imagine a girl's night out at Le Strip (and yes I will continue to call it that)? Well, now you can! Courtesy of Ms. RiRi: Pour it Up
No but let's make this a thing: acting like it's girls night out at the strip club in everyday life. (As Bey's flawless starts to play)
