Re: Hostess bars?

heheheh.


The life of a Hostess is not one to envy. She is a slave of the bar. Especially, the owner. She may have money but she doesn't have time to enjoy her riches. Sad.

I don't know about everyone or what it was like back then but I think "slave" is too strong a term. I know a number of the girls, and they come in and leave when they please. They take days off if they feel like it. Change bars on a whim or leave the bars all together if they make that choice.

Remember the gal that could take a tall stack of quarters and give change?

Re: Hostess bars?

One afternoon a buddy and I strolled into a Hotel St. dive and my friend immediately announces "we just got off the boat and are gonna spend all our money on you!". Needless to say, we were quickly swarmed by all the 'perfume' and became the stars of the show, until about 15 minutes later when they found out we had no $ other than for the first drink... We survived!

At Hubba Hubba one night, sitting at the cat walk, a cute girl is out and pretty frisky. At one point she sends a round house kick towards my face which I knew was going to come way to close, if not in fact connect, but I wasn't about to even blink as the stilleto brushed the baby hairs of my nose.
I guess she was used to doing that, but not used to having someone willing to match her and give her the eye in the process.
She lost her composure...

Had a nice lil old fashioned pool cue brawl at the ancient Pantheon. They were drunk, and I wasn't. Nuff' said.

Chinatown used to be fun.

There's a cool article on the wonders of old Chinatown in this week's WEEKLY.

Hostess Bars.

$Money$ is made by drinking "nikohana" a mixture of tea and water or soda for a percentage. Example: Customer buys waitress a drinkie for $10.00. $7.00 goes to waitress and $3.00 goes to house. Champagne is $100.00 per bottle and there is also $500.00 and $1,000. Same percentage rate. All tips are waitresses.

This isn't from personal experience, because I don't drink anymore. But, a drinkee used to cost $20, which has recently gone up to $40. The logic of these bars is that the bad economy means less patrons, so raise the price.

Re: Hostess bars?

My oh my...this thread has certainly taken off...hasn't it!!! How many phone calls have you received, Auntie?

heheheh.

Hostess Bars.

My nights were spent drinking and karaoking till the bars closed.

Those were my days of wine and roses.

Now ~ I don't DRINK! I don't SMOKE!

My friend owns a Hostess Bar. It's the same wherever you go. Only the name is different. There is always a back booth tuck away in the corner. Foa wat, you ask? Don't ask...use your imagination.

Nah...I don't think Viaga existed back in the seventies.

I guess that makes his performance that more impressive. America's got talent!

Re: Hostess bars?

Cool, I thought, and I asked her for the name 'cuz I was going to come in for a glass of wine. <insert long pause here!> She delicately told me, "You're too classy for this place."!!! Further questioning on my part revealed it to be a hostess club.

Haha. Nothing gets past Detective Sue!

So my friend gleefully hung around, continuing to buy drinks until the last call.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Frankie. The world can be a pretty lonely place.

The main host in The Great Happiness Space says regulars are key to making top dollar. The ironic thing is it's important to avoid having sex with your regulars, because once they have you, they lose interest. He's developed many techniques for stringing his customers along and dodging their attempts at commitment.

Hey, that sounds like normal dating...

We were given business cards at the door, which I slipped into my purse. A while later, I had a car accident and wrote my phone number on one of the cards to give to the man whose car I'd hit....he never called me back about the damages.

LOL, nice one! I wonder if his wife/girlfriend found your card.

I have ever since wondered how he could have kept that erection, as bored as he and his partner looked to be

Viagra, maybe? Apparently Viagra ruined this porn star's career.



Who would have thunk this topic would illicit elicit so many interesting stories???

Club Hubba Hubba? They had an eye-level stage, so that when the lady was writhing along it on her back, you certainly got an eyeful.[...]

As did the old Stop Lite, altho' it wasn't downtown! 'Nuff said about that place!

Ok...that's the 2nd best post of the day!!!

Re: Hostess bars?

Auntie, too funny!

KL, those aren't like the bars I used to hit. Plenty panky went on, maybe more than your friend would admit to.
There used to be a dive just off Fort St. Mall where live sex on stage, and off, was the standard event.

I was seventeen, when I was taken there for a night out with my boss (that old reprobate, Howard Farias, of the Sandbox), and saw the live sex act on stage. I remember it as being rather lacking in passion, although the man did have an erection (I have ever since wondered how he could have kept that erection, as bored as he and his partner looked to be).

Re: Hostess bars?

Do girls really hang out and chat with the patrons all evening, or are seedy things going on behind the scenes?

Seedy things? Yeah, some illegal stuff happens. But a lot of it is really comical.

Give you an example. A realtor friend of mine was hung up on this one girl who worked in a hostess bar in the Ala Moana area. He's single, but at least 20-25 years older than her. For awhile, they were spending time with each other on a regular basis. As long as he had the cash to buy her drinks, they were inseperable. But then one day, he worked up the courage to ask her if she needed a ride home. The girl hinted that she would take the offer,..... after the bar closed. So my friend gleefully hung around, continuing to buy drinks until the last call. When the bar closed, he was all set to escort the girl to the car, when she told him to go on outside and wait for her while she freshened up in the bathroom. And like a sucker, he went outside to his car and waited,....and waited,.... and waited. Finally, he went back to the bar and knocked on the door, only to find the bartender and the mama-san cleaning up. The girl ducked out the back door and got another ride home. (Probably from a taxi.)

Sorry for my naievety, and bringing this up, as it may turn out to be a delicate subject, but I honestly don't get this hostess bar/club idea. Seems to me that a nice guy can talk to a pretty girl anywhere in Waikiki...?

Believe it or not, there's a lot of lonely guys out there who don't have the social skills. Or they're the picky type (like my aformentioned buddy) who's only interested in meeting very young and pretty women. They don't have the looks, personality, or confidence to find such companionship, so they seek it out at a hostess bar. Oh well. As long as the patrons understand that those "buy me drinkie" girls are only interested in them for the money, I suppose it's harmless. The guys I feel sorry for are those who think they have a chance at finding a meaningful, committed relationship at a hostess bar. Unless they're rich and willing to shower them with expensive gifts, they're only fooling themselves.

Re: Hostess bars?

MJ, was that the former, 'Club Ugly'?

No clue what was there before, Ron. Could have been a preschool for all I know.

Men read Playboy for the articles. They come to hostess bars for the stimulating conversation.
