My partner treated me to my first ever hustler club for my birthday, and it was a night that I'll…read morenever forget! It was a Sunday on MLK weekend when I visited. My partner paid for the club's entry fee, so I honestly can't say much on their prices. I was just so intrigued by what took place behind the doors of a spot I was once too nervous to walk into. Upon entering, I saw a few people sitting around a stage where a dancer was performing. The music was loud, clear, and lively enough to dance along to. However, it was tough to be excited when the dancer herself didn't look happy to be there. A majority of the dancers were disengaged with the audience, using tricks to keep focus on their routines (e.g lip-syncing the words). I don't judge them for that- who knows what awful guests they've dealt with- but seeing a series of dancers get on stage with empty expressions and low effort stunts made me sink into the dark reality of these careers. In no time, I found myself longing to take each of them far away from this club and from Bourbon Street, and hide them away from prying eyes. It was because of this that I needed to walk away at several points. I had a couple drinks at the bar, and it tasted exactly like sparkling water with a hint of cherry- the flavor just out of tongue's reach. I also went to their restroom, which was incredibly cramped; there were two guests arguing in there, and I awkwardly had to squeeze myself behind them just to get into a stall. Fortunately, the night got a lot better after my final bathroom break. When I approached my partner who had been sitting in his seat, he handed me a $50 and said, "Go tip that girl." There was a new dancer on stage: petite, short dark brown hair, and most of all- happy. At least, she seemed happy. She was the only girl who made eye contact with the audience, displayed epic moves, and smiled throughout. I gave her the tip, and she giddily invited me to stay longer for a private dance. While I won't get into specifics, I will say that she was an excellent dancer and an even more wonderful conversationalist. I hoped my efforts to connect- even for those few minutes- were enough to show that I was grateful for her courage in doing this for a living. Maybe I'm too soft-hearted for clubs like these, but still, it was a night I'll remember for the rest of my life. While most of the performers looked disinterested, the drinks weren't great, and the bathrooms cramped, it was all worth it just to see that one great performance on my special day.

New Orleans is a great city for burlesque. Several different groups perform shows on a fairly…read moreregular basis. So far I have seen three different shows. All were very different, but entertaining. The Dirty Dime involved several different acts, but one really stood out. The act involved a performer and a pole. It was the most physically demanding performance of the night, and her athleticism was very impressive. This was not some cheesy strip club pole act, but more a display of the performer's strength. I was amazed at what she was able to do. Other acts involved a Silence of the Lambs act, fire dancing, sword play and even a special birthday surprise for lucky birthday boys and girls. Another great part of the show was the host Ben Wisdom. His quick witted responses to hecklers, and humorous style of commentary was much appreciated. If you are a fan of burlesque, or have never been to a show, check out the Dirty Dime Peepshow. I think you'll enjoy it. Note: As others have mentioned, come early if you want a seat. The venue was very crowded and smokey.

After some proper exploring of the rest of Bourbon and French Quarter, we were not ready to call it quits yet and found the strip clubs were still open..well then, bring on the bar and the gorgeous ladies! In a female strip club I take my role as crowd enthusiasm enforcer very seriously. I am there to offer the talented and beautiful performers over the top applause, compliments, and encouraging energy. With my body positive and empowering "you gorgeous girl" vibe I hope to offer a little respite from the usual clientele just giving that oh so creepy awkward stare from the corner. Every performer we saw here was over the top gorgeous with incredible athletic talent and impressive agility. It was so much fun how interactive many of them were. They complimented me back while they were on stage, admired my long feather lashes or costume, and performed challenging dance tricks with the patrons gathered around the stage. I liked the overall set up of the room with the different stages, comfy chairs, and bar in the back. I made friends with several other people sitting next to me watching the performers and was happy to see them get into the spirit of respectfully applauding the talent of the ladies performing. Drinks were good and everyone I met here was incredibly nice. As the night came to a close the only thing I wanted that this place didn't have was fries. When the call for fries became too powerful I had to finally call it quits, say goodbye to the lovely dancers, and head off in search for a delicious 3 am Ash Wednesday snacka. This place would be unstoppable with fries..seriously.
