    Default Taxi Dancers

    http://www.laweekly.com/ink/99/09/news-wright.php

    I know these types of clubs have been mentioned on here but I've never read this particular article before. It sounds not dissimilar to a strip club, but with less money since there are no tits out in the open for all to see.

    I can't believe these places are still around in this day and age, and so successful. I wish they had them here so that all the guys who just want to "talk" can go there and save me the headache.

    Its kind of a romantic notion though, at least knowing that there are still many men who want some type of connection with women outside of staring at the coochie....

    Your thoughts?

    The Deja Vu near here has a Taxi Dance on the menu but I don't know if this is what it is or not. Always wondered.

    Interesting article. Makes me wonder, if Missouri passes proposed legislation severely restricting current strip club practices, I can envision some sort of hybrid club with a combination of traditional Burlesque-style stage shows and fully-clothed "ballroom" dancing (with a huge potential for extras or "corner" girls) that would fit through the loopholes of the proposed law, much to the chagrin of the bill's ultra-conservative sponsor. Proving once again that when you try to legislate moral behavior too tightly, it just drives it underground with harsher results.

    I actually worked in one of these clubs very briefly when I was a teenager. I don't remember all that much about the experience, but I do remember my general impression: the places struck me as weird and depressing in a way that stripclubs never did.

    What the hell and where the hell is that? I lived in Houston for an embarassing number of years, yet am not aware of this type of establishment. Now the strip clubs/whorehouses I can tell you about.........

    Weird coincidence, I just read the term "taxi dancer" (like two hours ago) in a bio on Anais Nin (referring to June Smith, Henry Miller's second wife) and I was wondering what it meant.

    I'd heard of "dime a dance girls" in the 30s and 40s but I'd never seen "taxi dancer" until today (and now I've seen it twice,lol).

    Interesting article.

    Kat, here's a review I found on

    Other Dated Added: Sun Mar 28 2004 Submitted by: Rockcox

    The VIP Hostess Lounge is located behind a Whataburger on Richmond Avenue between Fondren and Gessner. It's modeled after the old time "Taxi Dancer" establishment. It is owned and operated by a Chinese family. Ladies who you can meet are from all over the world. I've sat with ladies from China, Brazil, Korea, Mexico, Thailand, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and the good old USA.
    The owner is paranoid about posts on the internet, particularly if posters mention names of individual ladies. When such a posting occurs, the lady is fired the next day.

    The ladies place is advertised in the Houston Press and the ad describes the ladies as "amateurs" and describes time with them as being similar to a "blind date". Rates average around $33/hour, and a half-hour minimum is required. If one "sits" with a lady, one can buy drinks ( soft drinks, bottled water) and this is expected. NB They lost their beer.wine license earlier this month (March)

    When you enter the establishment, the ladies sit off to the right and one can talk with them beforehand. When you pick a lady to "sit" with you, the owner checks her punch card, and she takes you to a large, dark ballroom with low couches. Each sitting area has a small table and is separated from other sitting areas by hanging plastic strips. Activities from this point on vary depend on who you picked to sit with. I find it best to talk with them a bit and show personal interest in them and what they do.

    Behaving like a gentleman, at least at the beginning, is a must if you expect to get somewhere. After a while, the lady may well snuggle up to you for some necking, fk and even dfk. After a while, I find they are receptive to being fondled and eventually, massaging their pussy. As they get warmed up, they have been known to give a hj and even to give a bj, both covered or bare. I've had several ladies let me cum. Then they drink more of their drink to wash it down and clean their mouth. Several girls were willing to go f/s but the low couches makes that a bit tough to do.

    What I have often done is get their phone numbers and after two visits at VIP, take them out for lunch or dinner and adjourn somewhere for f/s. I've had many happy times with ladies I have met that way.

    The VIP posts a sign with a tipping schedule recommending anywhere from $20 to $40. If I find a lady is a disappointment, I cut things short, give her a 20 buck tip and pick someone else. The owners encourage that. For a decent hj, I tip $60, and for bj anywhere from $80 to $100 buck. Many of the ladies are part-time, earning money this way because they are in college or taking specialized courses. Many are single moms. Many are doing this temporarily while job-hunting. The age range of the ladies is anywhere from 18 to 44.

    Since mid-September, business has been slow because of recent investigations about cops tipping off owners of similar places in the hispanic community about pending raids. The Chronicle and the Press both have had stories about this. Consequently, some of the ladies have moved on becoming independent escorts or working at modelling studios and spas. But I noticed that since February, 2004, business seems better. Recommended highly.

    I always see an ad for the place in Houston Press, it is called the Hostess Lounge... I always wondered what the hell that was about, I would find it interesting to check out. I wonder if it is a place where girls are accepted as clients, I don't really want to work there.

    i work in a downtown LA hostess club, it's a different scene than the strip club, but it's got an ambiance thats cultured and beautiful. for me its only depressing when it's slow and there's no money to be made. it can be very good money. you have to be pretty social and know how to bullshit the customers...if you're looking for sugar daddys, very wealthy buisness men often frequent these places, japanese are very generouse tippers. if you "date" outside the club you often get to go shopping and to nice dinners as well as being tipped for your time outside of the club. a girl at my club just received a mercedes from one of her "boyfriends", so it can be very good money

    Cheryl Ladd (sp) played a taxi dancer in a movie i just seen a few weeks ago. It is an older movie, but that is odd i just watched it, as i never knew about these. Ok i think we have one in my area. I need to look into it before i know for sure, i see some women as i pass by dancing very close and slow with men, dressed very nice, always nice cars, and it's a new place. I doubt it, but know i wonder.

    And these women appear to be 30's and 40's. It's closed tight and dark from the outside, but i often see in one window if i drive by slow, mornings it's not open, late night to early morning only it seems

    Hmm, probably just another bar, but it's very nice, pretty. But no name outside.
