Many moons ago, this was the old Eye
Full Club where I got my very first lap dance ever, and was my favorite
club. So I have some fond memories from my youth. Since then,
they've had at least 2 complete renovations, the last one being a massive
one that makes the entire building look completely different, inside and
out. In fact, it looked so different, I passed the building coming to
the club.
 Inside the Love Boutique: Plenty of DVDs, private booths for video viewing, adult toys, and sexy-wear. Perfect for breaking the ice on a very sexy date. |
The Boutique format is pretty standard with all Deja Vu clubs.
However, one added benefit here is a couple friendly dressing room which
contain 2 small areas within the room. The outside area has a small
cushy chair for the man (or observer), then a curtained off area for the
woman (or dressing person) to dress/undress, and come out to be checked-out.
Apparently, if a customer wants to purchase clothes for a dancer, he can
bring her in here for a "private" fitting. I really like this idea.
While we were hanging out in this area, I was surprised at how many couples
came through the store.
Back down stairs, the club is toward the right with the stage on the far
side of the room, along with the dressing room. The bar is towards the
right, and the DJ booth and lap dance booths are on the other side towards
the left. There are tables and chairs all around the room, making for
a comfortable setting for couples as well as club goers. Compared to
the way this club used to look, they have really upgraded the club with a
classy bar as well as a fancy bathroom.
The lap dances can be done in the regular ones downstairs for $20 (about 17
booths) and $150 for 30 minutes VIPs upstairs (about 10). The VIP
booths have beds and a curtain at the entrance of each one for privacy.
The booths are timed by a machine, and not by floaters. Each booth has
a vending machine like device which accepts paper money and keeps track of
how much time you have for your lap dances. Each dancer has her own
unique electronic key which she touches the machine with, which records her
ID and gives her credit for the money that is being placed into the machine.
While the time is going, there are green lights at the top to indicate you
are busy. When those lights go off, your time is up. So, the dances
are not timed by the songs that the DJ plays and remain the same length
regardless of the songs or events going on the stage.
Some may feel this is impersonal, because a machine gets involved with the
money transaction. But I'm enamored with this device. This
system eliminates one of my biggest strip club pet peeves where dancers and
floaters miscount the dances, and rip-off customers, either by mistake or on
purpose. I hope these machines are installed in every club in the
future. They tell me that the next step will be to allow the customer
to use credit cards to pay for their lap dances with these machines.
For me, that might be a disaster waiting to happen. Once they start
doing this, I'd have to leave my credit card at home, just like when I go to
Vegas. We all have our weaknesses.
As for the talent situation, there's a lot of young dancers to choose from
for laps and view on stage. On top of that, this club is not afraid to
put girl/girl action on stage. Most of you already know my affinity
for that type of action and so I'll spare you the long winded details.
Suffice to say that there seems to be an abundance of
bi-sexual activity
going on at this club. I felt like a boy in a candy store. Or
more like a dog in heat.
As with the Bakersfield Deja Vu,
this one is also very friendly to birthday boys and bachelor parties.
Mention either and you'll get in free and get to go on stage with all the
dancers who will do their thing on stage. Large parties can also get
admission discounts so ask for details. The bachelor on stage during
my visit seemed to be getting the "belt." Sometimes, you have to take
some pain with the pleasure.
All Deja Vu's have weekly specials, and this one is no exception.
Sundays are longer dances by 30%, Wednesdays are 3 songs for $40, and
Thursdays the 30 minute VIPs are only $100.
Between the innovative lap dance vending machines, the bottomless drinks (my second pet peeve of waitresses asking "Wanna buy the lady a drink?" while I'm getting lap dances is completely eliminated), young dancers with good attitudes, new upscale environment, and high mileage lap dances, I can highly recommend this club to anyone who enjoys good lap dances.

This is still one of the best
couch dance club in/near
LA, even with a lot of defections to
Sahara. Although the quality
has gone down, there are a lot of dancers there. Cover is $10, or $15 after
4pm on Fridays and Saturdays. One small stage near the entrance. Lots of
floor work here. The back
area is for couch dances
and is pretty dark most of the time. On slow nights, they have 2 for one and
3 for one laps as well as lights out laps (they turn the lights off).
Bikini ($12), topless ($20), or nude ($40) couch dance available (get topless). Many dancers will stand on the couch and with the proper incentive, give you the peek plus bonus. Pick the right day or night girl (days are a little nastier) and get a mouth full. You can't touch the dancer, but put your hands in the right place on the couch and she will do the work for you. With the proper selection, you will get the best laps in Southern California. Might be too much for some people.
Expert Customer Hints:
Watch the dancers doing laps on the couch on the right side of the men's
bathroom. If you see one that you like, and she's doing things that you
like, get your dance in that same spot. This is because the nasty dancers
like this spot because sometimes the floaters miss their dance and they can
hide their nasty moves.
You can buy the dancer a drink and she'll sit and talk a bit. Sometimes, features XXX stars on stage and nude couch dances by feature dancer. The feature used to commonly do girl / girl action on stage but I think they had to stop doing it. Tip the feature really big on stage ($10) and get some nasty action there. Don't go for the nude couch dance with the feature. Nothing much more than what you get for a topless dance, except it's $40.
Trivia: Jill Kelly, the porn star, used to dance there before she met and married Cal Jammer.
Favorites: Checkout Aja, my dancer of the month for July 1997.
