This place is the sister bar of Extasis, and has a similar layout/M.O. Afternoon shift features nom cover, 5-6 chicas working, none fat, free lunch buffet that tends to be carried over from day to day and re-heated. Beers are 2x1 until at least 9 PM, and cost 30 pesos for Corona/Victoria and that line. Privados are 50 pesos for the dayshift and 2x140 is advertised when the night girls arrive at 7 PM.

I went for a beer and some free grub this past week and was generally underwhelmed by the afternoon experience there. However, the energy definitely picked up when the 12+ evening chicas showed up right around 7 PM and started showering and getting all dolled up for their evening shifts. One to get excited about for those of you that like them REALLY skinny: Alexis, who came in looking GREAT in jeans, midriff showing top and a do rag, then proceeded to take it all off to jump in the glass walled shower. This chick is tall, dyed blonde, young, cute and extremely skinny. But of course to me she looks like a damned flamingo! If you're in Monterrey and like 'em real thin, enjoy.

Beware, they do tend to want a cover at night. I have been quoted 50 pesos before, but that was several months ago.

Got there last night right before 7 PM arrival of evening dancers, got to watch them shower, try on different clothing and get all dolled up before their shifts through the glass wall to the dressing room. VERY entertaining, though some of the chicas seemed a little shy about being stared at. Some decided to go all out and put on a show in the shower, though. Nothing like the old Scorpio dildo shows at Manhattan in TJ, though, unfortunately.

Flamingo girl Alexis wasn't there early last night, but the 10+ evening girls were a decent looking lot with no stunners. For 30 pesos for a couple beers, a possible free buffet (they still had plenty of food at 7 PM last night) and chance to see a bunch of naked chicks, you can do worse with your late afternoons.

There was a flit hairdresser in the dressing room making over many of the chicas last night. Not sure if the club provides this service for the girls or if they actually dig into their pockets to pay him, but I thought it was pretty funny.

For evening shift they did say that privados were 2x140. At Extasis they are 2x120 and you can decide you only want one for 60.

The private dances here are NOT privados, but rather table dances in a room upstairs with couches with all the other couples getting dances. And at 140 pesos for ~ 8 minutes during primetime, they're more expensive than they should be for a club of this ilk -- some nice girls, so so atmosphere.

Over a 60 peso ficha drink a girl told me that there is a room upstairs where you can get 30 minutes of anything goes for 1800 pesos, half going to the girl. No thanks.

Porker and I had visited TVO in Monterrey several months ago, and we were absolutely astounded at the continuous line-up of real beauties that were paraded before us one Friday night last November, one stunner after another.

Well, I had been meaning to return to TVO again since that night, just to see if what we had experienced was a fluke. So, last Friday night, I had the opportunity to revisit, and was not impressed what-so-ever.

Most of the girls I saw on the line-up were just average, or below average. I have no idea what happened to all the superstars.

It was also really interesting too because I noticed there was a girl that was on stage during the line-up that was suggestively dressed, but fully clothed. She was hanging really close to another girl, a girl that was obviously a professional stripper, a girl that was hanging out in all the right places, obviously with very little modesty. But, the modest girl was, in fact, the best looking girl in the place, even fully dressed.

But, I noticed that the girl that was fully clothed and suggestively dressed was modestly playing at unzipping her dress. She would start to unzip it, then before going too far, she would zip it right back up. Then, she would pull up her outfit slightly above her ass cheeks, in a slow and cautious way, almost in a contemplative and reluctant manner. Her behavior was so uncharacteristic to what I am used to seeing in the strip clubs of MTY, that I concluded that she must be a complete and total newbie. Once I determined that she must be a newbie, I watched with even more determination.

Anyway, during the line-up, she flirted with exposing her breasts, and pealing off her outfit. But, she never actually did it. Instead, she remained fully clothed during the entire line-up period, staying very close to her experienced companion the entire time.

Eventually, after the line-up concluded, the girl came on stage alone. She started to dance around the pole in an unfamiliar manner, obviously testing her ability to negotiate the pole, and playing with dance moves, deciding what might look suggestive and sexy. She was obviously very uncomfortable, and to a seasoned officianado like myself, I had by then concluded that she was most certainly a complete and utter newbie stripper.

Eventually, my suspicions were confirmed. All of a sudden, prior to removing a stitch of clothing, she bounded off stage, made a B-line for the dressing room, and immeidately slipped on her blue jeans. She was obviously un-nerved, and talking to one of two of the other girls. I can only imagine she was saying how she was just not cut out for being a stripper. Once she had her jeans on, she was quickly out the door, never to be seen again.

So, I suppose we should all appreciate the obvious difficulties that some girls must go through to eventually become so proficient at entertaining us. For some, it must be harder than for others. But, after seeing that little display, I had a new found appreciation for the girls that can pull it off, and make everything seem so effortless. Thank God for them!!!
