Made a late-night visit to the new digs, hadn't visited since Mika left but given the earlier reviews on the "new talent" and the late hour, wanted to check it out but didn't request anyone in particular.
First, on the new space. It looks great, better than some of legit spas I've been to. I was expecting the TS to be up and running given the ads Julie had been running. Alas, was informed they were not working yet and maybe next week.
Ended up with Gina, although there didn't seem to be any choice. Was a total disappointment. While I'm standing in the entranceway, Gina goes back and forth into her room to confer with another girl in the room. I then get ushered into a separate room so that this other girl can leave what Gina calls "her room" even though the other girl wasn't with someone else. Extremely awkward, but I head in to put on a robe and hand over the House Fee. I ask about the TS, and she says it still isn't working. Obviously disappointed. She then follows that up by asking if I want to go, which should have been my first clue that this wasn't going to be promising. Should have accepted her offer.
Never expect much with the massage but hers was the worst I've had. Starts me off under two towels, pokes at my back and legs a bit, sprays my hands with hand sanitizer, and then starts just making figure eights with her fingers on my back. We're about 15-20 minutes in and she asks me to flip. No attempt at massaging my chest, or any sort of build up, just starts heading for the HE. I'm having issues getting into it since she's seemed so awkward and out of it, so I ask her to remove her dress. She agrees (her body isn't anything special...a little full for my taste). She's still not that into it, just seems to be trying to get to the end of the road, and I'm not that into it either. At one point, I ask her if she's ok and she says she's fine but she just seemed sooooo disinterested it was offputting. She then offers a CBJ and after a few minutes of minimal effort, asks why I haven't finished yet. Again, a turnoff. A couple minutes later, I pull it together to finish, she wipes me off, and while I'm just laying there, says "OK you're done" pushing me to pack up and leave. Get dressed, hand over $80, glance at my watch (we're 40 minutes in) and head for the door vowing that, despite the great digs, I won't be back anytime soon.
