I'm SO glad you're in a better place--literally and emotionally and all the other ways! Portland just seems like a better fit for you (and most other sane people). Yay for "the sun'll come out tomorrow" finally making its appearance!

^^^I live in LA currently and don't care for it. I'll be applying to grad schools soon and I'm looking at either Oregon State or one of the Kansas unis. I'm hoping to move sooner rather than later so I can get in-state tuition.
I'm at OSU!
Only read the first page so far but any publicity is definitely good publicity. When my club first opened it got slammed constantly, especially with one incident where someone walked outside in her stripper clothes and it was caught on the news :D That REALLY brought people in.
Yeah, vegan strip club sounds strange but in the end it'll bring them in like crazy because it's the ONLY strip club.
I was looking through the issue of Exotic yesterday and was excited to see the ad for Casa Diablo, although I'd have to say... the ad's not that great. Good info, but it's just not as attention grabbing as some of the other ads in the issue. But I can't wait to see pics of a SWer!
Best of luck, will definitely check it out when I come your way, as a customer if not a dancer.

i find the smug self-righteousness permeating all the discussions of this club way more offensive than any negative commentary that may have been made in some free paper about the club.
although i suppose portland was lacking in a place that combined self-righteousness based on extreme dietary restraint and 'unrestrained' hedonism in one convenient packet.

It's not extreme dietary restraint or unrestrained hedonism, it's animal liberation, compassion and sexual freedom.

and FYI miabella- you were on my ignore list, but I took you off just because I knew you'd have something illogical to say.

Well welcome to the world of feeling appalled at people's smugness in relation to their dietary preferences, Mia. Glad it only happens to you once in a blue moon. For the rest of us, it's daily--meat eating/planet destruction is probably the smuggest, in your face act that we witness all the time in person....not some free alt-weekly paper.
Yea Gypsy, that's why no one's been on there yet except one who made a "bye" thread, because usually they are uprorious in their illogical posting styles, but this shit is just......pointless and nasty. Oh boy, this is gonna get lengthy.

Back to the club....
Worked there again this afternoon/evening. Was slower than yesterday, but thats to be expected, given the industrial nature of hte area. I still did pretty decently, did several dances....
Talked with Johnny a LOT on marketing and promotion... So things here are definitely going well.

What a surprise. Another condescending post from miabella. >:( I'm challenging you to quote exactly what you found so offensive about our posts about this club. I'm NOT vegan and no one at this club (on stripperweb or real life) has given me any shit about it. No one has been smug, and no one has acted self-righteous. We're not sitting around the dressing room talking about how great it is that we're all vegan and we also strip. The club so far has been accepting of all girls. I personally like the club because a) it's smoke free and b) we're very free as dancers to offer input to the owner.
You don't even strip anymore. What's the point in being negative about a club that you won't even go to, that you have nothing to do with? I guess it's easy to talk shit on the internet, huh? I do remember you also talking shit about secular humanism and its dangers, so needless to say, I don't take your words seriously.

And so what if you were, right? At least you'd be in the DR hiding in the back keeping the controversial and offensive viewpoints to a minimum so people don't think you're self-righteous.::)

For real. I don't see how anyone would find this offensive. We are all enthusiastic about this club! I have never dealt with an owner that was so open to suggestion. He's trying to create a situation where we all make the most money we can.

Haha yeah! That was AWESOME... SOooo proud of you!!!
We'll see how long it is before the pole addiction take holds... First its only an invert, next you want to know can you do it this way instead... Before you know it your taking epsom salt baths and developing callouses on weird spots like the insides of your elbows.

Hehe. Well, if Susan sez it's worth checking out, then that's good enough for me. ;D I will eat just about anything, so the REAL draw for me to get my ass all the way up there from West Linn will be A) another SW MeetandGreet ala Lush, and B) the fact that the place is smokefree. Although I believe all SC's in Oregon will be smokefree after the first of 2009 (Hale-fucking-lujah!) so Johnny does have a bit of a jump on the competition in the regard.
When it comes to decor, I may not be as picky as some. To me, Stars is sterile and very unwelcoming. The Dolphins do it pretty well though; a good cross between homey bar and sleekness with a few cheesy, tacky touches. Good drinks are fine too, but it's the quality of the company that makes me coming back. So if Johnny can keep all those hotties happy (why does this seem to escape most managers?) and prosperous he'll do very well. Oh, and a good sound system is crucial!! :D
Best o' luck to all of you! There are several ladies on this list that I have met dancing here, but many special ones that I'm only now aware of their working here in PDX. I am sorry to have missed you all thus far, but also looking forward to correcting that in the near future!
best,

I'm sorry if any of you were offended by the rhyme. My vegan manager Lindsay came up with the slogan and I thought it was brilliant. It is not supposed to be derogatory towards women, it is supposed to bring veganism into them minds of meat-eaters. Again, I'm sorry if anyone was offended.

Alaska, I love your brain. Good call. Either Flip4Mac or Perian might help play this video. They're both free plug-ins. Can't test this until I get home.

Flip4Mac just worked for me! Okay story. Reporter's slant was a bit douchey but I suppose that was to be expected. And yeah, I'm not huge on the "meat on the pole" thing either - if a cow isn't meat, then neither am I - but whatever, publicity is publicity.

Did you restart your computer? I downloaded Flip4Mac and it didn't work, so I restarted my computer and then it worked fine. Your computer does something when it powers up that makes newly downloaded applications work right.
Lunarobverse
02-11-2008, 06:40 PM
I hadn't had Flip4Mac installed on my MacBook Pro, so I installed and it didn't work at first. Rebooted, and it came up for me. F4M only seems to work in Safari, not Firefox.
So, frustrated but beautiful Mac users: 1) Install Flip4Mac, 2) Reboot, 3) open the page in Safari.
And if that doesn't work, I'm uploading it to YouTube as I type this. As soon as it's done and working I'll post a link. Of course, since it's not my content it will probably get pulled soon so it may not be on YouTube very long...

They hate vegans, too. They thrashed my restaurant Pirates Tavern in a review two years ago. They also slaughtered a pet sheep named Sammy and wrote a step by step article on how you can do it too with pictures just too piss off the vegans. I pulled my advertising on them and vowed Pirates Tavern would never give money to them again. They are just getting trying to get revenge.
Word. Just so you know, the guys at Scapegoat Tattoo also pulled ads after all of the vegan bashing, especially the sheep article. Haters suck.
