Thoughts.com Blogs - Cheeks...what a dive

When I turned 19 my best friend took me to Cheeks.Cheeks was a male strip joint,only open for women.The rules were if you were a man you had to come in a tux and had to pay a $50.00 cover charge.

Arizona's legal drinking age was 19.Though the law was changed the year I turned 19 to 21.Since my birthday was before the cutoff I had earned my right to drink legally and also the right to make an ass out of myself legally while under the influence.

I have to say Cheeks was a dive.It was filled with varying ages of women.The dancers,good grief.I'm sorry but seeing a man full body shaved covered in oil in a g-string is commical.Its funny, not at all sexy.Though quite a few women were going nuts.it was funny to watch.

Needless to say my so called bestfriend sat us center stage and had a stack of $1.00 bills.I knew I was beet red,I could feel the heat in my face.A lot like the hot flashes I put up with now.Shes goading me on,"put a dollar in his undies".Yuck,he was oily and sweaty,gross if you ask me.I was a good sport.For some reason this was important to her to have me fill a strange mostly naked mans underwear with money.After a few more Kamikaze's it got more pallatable.And I suppose most of the oil had worn off by them.

We went through the stack of ones,got three sheets to the wind.I still feel the same about this I have not been converted.Naked,oily sweaty men are funny to watch.Watching the goofy women getting silly is funny to watch.The gist of it all is its not my cup of tea.For those that enjoy it knock yourselves out.Live how you gotta live.

But,theres always a but.I did go a 2nd time.We had to bring my Mother in law Betty.That story is for another time.Taking that woman anywhere was an adventure.You'll find out soon enough.

I'll leave you with this saying from the movie Elf-Smilings my favorite!
Nothing like a smile to brighten your day:)
