Check out the old Death on the
Wild Side
Cartoon Strip Dirt and I did 120 cartoon strips that took
over two years to complete that were loosely based on my novel.
Unfortunately a computer completely crashed and I was only abot
to recover these files. There are also a few Scott
Waggoner cartoon images in the Leech pages. The guy
upstairs? That's one of SCott's masterpieces....his
portayal of a typical dancer's boyfriend, Boner, with his
brother sitting on his shoulder.
The
gentlemen's clubs are typically open until 4 a.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. on
weekends. Over at PT's Diamond Cabaret one can dine on gourmet fair that's
on a par with what's served in some of St Louis's finest restaurants. Showgirls
are featured here on a regular basis, particularly in the PT's clubs. And
if staying up until 6 a.m. is not late enough for you, there's always Pops
next door to PT's Sports and Diamond Cabaret which keeps its doors open twenty-four
hours a day or Mustang Sallys over on route three on the way to the clubs
in Brooklyn where you are likely to have an uproariously good time until 8
a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The
Saint Louis Metro East Adult Entertainment Scene is full of contradictions.
Over on this side of the river men and women can find anything they want.
Here you will find swinger's clubs, at least one club that specializes in
men liking men, along with some of the finest gentlemen's clubs in the land.
There's a seediness about certain areas with their massage parlors, adult
book stores and other adult establishments you might want to stay out of.
Such seediness might deter you from experiencing what the finer establishments
offer
Gentlemen's
Clubs are called Gentlemen's Clubs for very good reasons most fail to even
think about. That hypocritical segment of our society I call "The Mothers
for a More Boring Nation" point accusing fingers at club owners--"You
guys just call your clubs gentlemen's clubs to whitewash all that smut you
stand for." The truth is, the well-run establishments are gentlemen's
clubs for men who choose to behave like gentlemen. These places are for the
discerning guy who wants to escape from the hard nosed unforgiving battleground
of the business world, everyday tedium, and the boredom, snobbishness, and
pretentiousness he typically experiences in other kinds of bars. Just consider
the following facts:
I.
Believe it or not, one is far safer in a gentlemen's club than in most other
bars. The mere fact that such clubs are often referred to as titty bars, topless,
or bottomless clubs means that many conservative elements of our society want
to close them down. This means that the club owner has to make every effort
to insure the safety of his guests to avoid the serious risk of getting shut
down. A well managed club is ready for trouble and its staff is usually prepared
to deal with it before it gets out of hand. Your typical non-adult type of
bar on the other hand often experiences fights simply because its owner does
not share the same degree of risk of being closed down. Trouble often develops
in regular bars and even when a fight is imminent no one does anything about
it until it's too late. Parking lots are usually well lit at the better adult
establishments and there are usually cameras both inside and outside the
club that is constantly monitoring what's happening both inside and outside
the nightclub.

A man is much better off bringing a date into a gentlemen's club than he is
in many other types of bars, particularly if his date is much younger than
he is. Let me give you a good example. I took an attractive woman out to lunch
to a bar-restaurant just down the street from where I live. The woman was
over twenty years younger than me. We took a table a few feet from the bar
where we ordered our food from the waitress. A very drunk young guy came over
from the bar and sat down with us and started to run his mouth. The establishment
did nothing about it and I had to resort to being very rude to the drunk to
get him to leave. This could have easily developed into a fight. This kind
of event rarely occurs in a gentlemen's club. For one thing most of the entertainers
are a lot younger than most of the male patrons so it's not unusual for an
older guy to be sitting with a very young attractive female. And once again,
should trouble start to develop, the club's going to nip it in the bud.
3.
There isn't nearly the amount of snobbery, pretentiousness, or cliquishness
in gentlemen's clubs as there is in other bars and nightclubs. Face it, most
of the women here have their clothes off to one degree or another. Talk about
baring oneself. Most of the male patrons are risking disapproval from the
public simply by being here in the first place. So everyone's in the same
boat. There's simply no need to put on airs and most people simply don't.
There's a general atmosphere in gentlemen's clubs that goes like this....."Most
are not going to approve of what any of us are doing here in the first place,
so let's just move onto the more important things in life such as having a
great time."
4.
The music's far better in gentlemen's clubs. Today's popular music is geared
to the very young and I suppose this has been the case for at least the last
thirty years or so. Most patrons of gentlemen's clubs are over thirty. Therefore
a club's DJ's has to serve up music that's appealing to his clientelle and
not for the young and dumb.
5.
There's a lot more pretty women in gentlemen's clubs than there are in other
kinds of bars. I am reminded of a guy around fifty who captains a tug boat
for a barge line. He's the classic thirty days on and thirty days off kind
of guy who works on the Mississippi. We were talking about why we enjoy going
to gentlemen's clubs and he said this: "You know Jack, I used to go to
those other kinds of bars and it was always the same kind of shit. There's
a lot more guys than gals in them and it's always five or six guys who are
chasing the same drunk bimbo. And there's always all those stupid fights breaking
out all around you. So I started going to titty bars and suddenly I'm surrounded
by all these gorgeous gals. And there's no more fights breaking out all the
time. I doubt if I am going to wind up marrying any of these gals but I can
enjoy having a few beers while cutting up with them. Then for awhile I stopped
going to the titty bars and it was back to the same boring shit again. I'll
never hang out in regular bars again."
6.
The degree and quality of social interaction is far superior in a gentlemen's
club than it is in most "regular bars". There's all kinds of bars
and nightclubs to be experienced out there. The typical neighborhood tavern
is typically filled with a bunch of guys from the area who are simply out
to get drunk at the lowest possible cost without having to drive very far.
Many of them are three sheets to the wind during the daytime. One's typical
experience in such places are...."Same old shit. I completely wasted
my time talking to those fools." On the other end of the spectrum are
the upper caste establishments found in the well to do sections of L.A., Chicago,
and St. Louis that you might call yuppie bars. The snobbery and stuffiness
in such places is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Then there's the pickup
places or meat market bars. It is in such places that you are likely to encounter
the largest number of total idiots. Contrast such places to the well run gentlemen's
club where a man is going to feel safer, have a lot more pretty women around
him, where the music's far better, and in which everyone in general really
doesn't care much about the public image he/she presents. The whole atmosphere
becomes all about everyone having a great time and having lots of fun while
doing it. Here you are more likely to find free spirits such as yourself.
It's in the best gentlemen's clubs where you are likely to find the writers,
the engineers, the true artists not to mention men who are truly successful
in the business world. It's here where you are likely to rub elbows with all
kinds of fascinating people, including hordes of enticing women. And if you
stop and think too long that none of this seems to be going anywhere, just
stop and consider that we are all going to wind up dead anyway. Such is the
ultimate meaning of life so it's not really going to matter anyway. So let
us all enjoy this train we are all traveling on and grab all the gusto we
can.
One more thing......This site is not just
about the Saint Louis Metro East Adult Entertainment Scene. This huge
multi billion dollar industry that encompasses more than 2500 clubs should
be savored wherever you find yourself, in all its aspects. Enjoy.
