Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Someone sent me a link to this site tonight and on it this girl http://www.miminewyork.com/ has done a kind of Manhattan club review (dated Thursday Dec 22nd) on her blog.
Have any of you read it and what did you think? Who is this girl anyway? She's claiming she's notorious. Is she really as hated by dancers as she says?

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
I just read her blurb and she seems sort of stuck up her own ass to me, but that's just my opinion.
-
Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Who really cares? She sounds like a stuck up "it's all about me" kinda girl, lol.

There's a good reason for that. She's from England.
Anybody recognize her?http://www.journalism.co.uk/images/mimi.jpg

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
No.But she looks like she has a moustache that she has to bleache regularly...

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
I like her blog, I have to say, and was really entertained by the whole thing, but I am surprised that she wasn't able to keep her anonymity. And yes, I definitely believe that the girls in the club would get pissy if someone told them a coworker was writing about them on the web which is why I don't tell girls I work with about my blog . . . I have had embarrassing though thankfully not dangerous moments.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
I enjoyed her blog... its a lot of creative writing.. not sure how true it all is but she sure did keep me entertained... I went back to the beginning to read and havent made it to the parts about stripping yet... shes a big stuck up, a bit prissy and a lot English... I love her sarcasm and humor. Dunno? I really liked it.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
I didn't read all of her blurbs but had the chance to read a full page. I thought that her writing was amazing. Better than anything I've read in a long time. I don't think that she is particilarly stuck up, she just has a knack for telling it like it is. That Mimi doll blurb was hilarious! I loved her work.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
It's amusing, but I think she's trying way too hard to become a member of the cliterati. This is ground that has been tread before, many, many times.
Love that someone posted a link to with the suggestion that she escort, though.
-
Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
I think she is pretty funny. The first time I stumbled on her blog was when she posted on here before. I stopped reading it after a while though.
I don't think she is that snobby, but I grew up in nyc so maybe I'm so accustomed to it, I don't really notice.
Are there any manhattan dancers who would dispute what she wrote about the places she's worked?
-
Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
I don't think the dancers would dispute it, but the management...well, that's another story.
I would have switched her description of Penthouse with Scores, however. But that's because so many Scores girls went to PEC and spoiled the club culture with their catty cokehead antics. Or so I've been told.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
She's English. Their speaking/writing style is different. Can sound snippy / snotty to the untrained American ear.
I think her writing is very creative and amusing. :thumbsup:

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Yeah, I have major problems getting on with Americans. An English joke is equivalent to an American insult, as we use something called 'sarcasm' quite a lot.
Re: moustache, it does look like I have one in that photo I agree, but I don't, luckily for me. I'm a relatively hair-free Anglo Saxon.
Most clubs I get away unnoticed, but I have a problem if I ever run into the girls from Flash. I got on with them great when I worked there, but they flipped out over the NY Times article, and some Russian girl at Rick's threatened to punch me for it (never met her before in my life, though she claimed I wrote about her extensively, which is interesting). The entire staff at Rick's knew instantly that I was writing a blog, which I put down to a couple of girls I recognized and the way gossip spreads. I don't tell people about the blog in clubs, it's too dangerous. I don't want them to read it. Sometimes I write stuff I couldn't tell people face to face (ie blow job hell) so there's that... plus it's for me, a way to cope with the good and the bad at clubs. Though I'm kind of worried about where to work next as I burned all my hair off with bleach and desperately need some extensions before I can audition anywhere else.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?

Girl I KNOW you want to take that back already! Are you trying to say that all of us English people are stuck up or what?
Watch out, I know more than a handful of English dancers working in the East coast and more are comming.
Be afraid of us, be very afraid!

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Best I've read in a while. That girl rocks. I dont care if it's true or exaggerated or what. Every club is totally different. Her writing is creative proof of that. Smiled the whole time. Glad someone on this forum pointed us to it.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Mimi, I figured you'd sign up after you saw the hits coming from this site...nice to see you here and welcome.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Oops, you've been here for months:
Well, welcome back.

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Hm.... Very much reminds me of Belle de Jour's diary that won The Guardian's Best Blog award couple of years ago. Except Belle was/is/if ever existed a london call girl. These sex worker blogs and books are definitely a rising trend. A nice read anyways, thanks mimi:)
Here's Belle's blog, if anyone's interested in it. She's no longer writing it -

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
Plus it has been edited as a book as well and translated to many languages. You might want to start the read from the beginning:)

Re: Have ya'll read this strip club review?
The bit of the blog I read was pretty amusing. I liked it.

I love British humor, although I'll never understand your television programs. Long live Terry Pratchett and satire in general!
I loved your blog. It reminds me of the satirical essays that I used to write in high school. "Don't bother unless you're willing to suck cock and share the herpes." Hahahaha!!!!
