Maybe just rumors, but I’ve heard Henley’s to the point he’s even quoting himself occasionally on message boards. It’s heart wrenching to watch.

@CDGator …
While I’m not a fan of such (misnamed) establishments, I do know a couple of women who patronize them at least occasionally.
That said, I’m pretty confident CD does not fall into that category—my comment was made in jest.

The second part I totally believe. However, the “While I’m not a fan of such (misnamed) establishments” part…paint me as somewhat skeptical. And not that I’ve ever spent any time comparatively studying these artistic presentations…

100% authentic.
I never liked them. My ego was repulsed by the idea of paying for a girl’s attention. I wanted a girl to talk to me because I was charming and funny, not because I had 20 dollar bills in my pocket. I preferred to go into a social setting and talk to a pretty girl on my own merits. I guess it’s like fly fishing using your own ties versus buying a bag of farm raised frozen tilapia filets. Sometimes they don’t bite, sometimes you get a nibble but they get away, sometimes you catch something and you throw it back, but sometimes you’re fortunate enough to land a really spectacular catch.
I’d go if the situation required it (like a bachelor party where I was a groomsman or the best man), but they always made me feel weird.
Full disclosure—I tease sofla for doing it, but I actually dated a stripper too.

It was actually her real name and if you were in Gainesville during a particular time period, you may have heard of her.

On the advice of Counsel I’ll allow it. And technically speaking, “dating” a stripper implies an intellectual relationship, so obviously held in higher regard than simply frequenting said establishments, for artistic expressions, etc.100% authentic.

In WP, specifically at Rachel’s and Diamonds, it was extremely common for women to be there with their boyfriends or husbands. Diamonds was the after-after hours place so they’d go there still hoping to hook up. And you’d sometimes see even old women groups like Red Hats having lunch at Rachel’s. Always thought it was strange.

Wait a minute…so CD is a member of the Red Hats? Didn’t think she met membership qualifications!

The life expectancy is way lower in Appalachia. So late 30s/early 40s there is like 60s/70s everywhere else.

When I worked at Red Hat I would host a lot of customer lunches.
Every now and then a host/hostess would ask:
"Red Hat.. you mean like those old lady lunch groups?"
And of course I would reply:
"Why yes, just like those..."
