As promised gentlemen, I am giving a quick update on a Black's fly by now that I am back to the States (sadly)
After all of the back and forth on how the place has recently gone down hill, I had to reconcile my past last experience (albeit a couple of years ago) with the current comments over the last six months. I just had to see the deflowering with my own two eyes.
Note I was trying to coordinate this review with another global monger but we were unable to coordinate the communication to meet when we arrived seperetely in BA. I will not throw my fellow reviewer under the bus but only gently chide "you are a fag for blowing me off; I trust you impregnated a traviesta F->M direction in a slum privado". OK, just kidding. Things happen.
To the report. Arrived at around 2am with small group in tow. Doormen blocked the entry way and funneled us to the main reception desk downstairs to say "you must pay a cover to enter the club". When I expressed in english and spanish that this policy was ridiculous, I have been through many times before, where is Daniel, etc.", the drawbridge opened and lots of "sorry, welcome backs" ensued. Moral of story: feign shock or confidence when blowing by admissions. They have no constitution to really collect and I think they are just seeing what they can suck out of the entry wallet.
Entered my old stomping grounds to find about 50 girls and about 10 guys (including our group of four) The girls were mostly 6-7 range with a scattering of 8's and the very ocassional 9. There were no drop dead gorgeous 10's walking around including the dancers, who by the way were all available for take out. More on that later. First cold shower of the evening was to realize that, like many of the previous posts, the quality of gals here have gone way down from years gone by. Either that or I am just getting too damn jaded for this monger business.
Two newbies in our group plus myself and another sage Black's vet. Newbies having more because of selection than the vets, but hey, having a few drinks with pals and oggling potential porteno empanadas.
Somehow the newbies get seperated from the vets (I think the vets are mesmerized by the obviously better talent dancing on the bar and the lounge area tables) and I quickly intercede when Newbie 1, who is obviously in love with a chica from Brazil, says "Is $400 for the whole night until tomorrow a good amount". I say "yes, a great amount. In pesos you idiot". Several of these moments happened so I must share in summary, like the front door experience, Black's has gotten worse and not better with the whole they are gringo fat cats - soak them if they are stupid enough to soak. I am sure there is a spanish phrase in there somewhere.
The "To Go "rate, now that we established some level of "been there" with the girls in the surrounding kill zone, dropped to $150-$200 US per girl, with a leave at breakfast end time. Obviously a hell of a lot higher than the privados (which were awesome on this trip, the only way to go when you are just looking for diamond drilling without all of the fuss) and a bit higher than the one hour quick hit quote of $150 US. Still a relative bargain by US standards but read these boards and there is quite a lot of chaffe on the subject.
I mentioned the dancers earlier so I want to report. No question that most of the dancers were solid 8's with a couple of 9's slithering about. Interesting change from last visit was that 1) many dancers dance at same time in different areas and 2) all dancers are available for to go. I called over manager Julian (Daniel had left apparently and thank goodness since I shamelessly used his name at door and they thought I knew what the fuck I was talking about) and asked / mentioned that the talent was way below past memory in terms of number and average. He responded by saying "yes, we had a little unionization problem in December" (I was too buzzed and horny even to dig into that one) so "we lost a few good girls down the street" and that the "dancers were former floor girls that graduated." When I said I was more interested in the better quality, he quickly said all but one of the 6 dancers would leave for a "higher tip". That number was around $400US which was outrageous but I did not say anything other than to shake my head.
My own little post report - I pulled a very cute 8 gal from Paraguay out of the joint for $150US for a couple of hours and a promise of another $150US if I elected to keep her through lunch. Don't flame me boys, it is just sometimes my M. O. (you can;t take the options out of an options trader) She was 21ish, very cute, passable english and damn sexy. When the lights dimmed and the main event got going it was obvious that 1) I was not going to get the benefit of an until noon soiree since I was too damn old / drunk / tired / jetlagged to perform to previous standards and 2) she was only so-so in bed. Great to look at, beautiful smile, sexy as hell on the street but had very little game in the cama. A big yawn from me and could not wait for her to get the hell out of the hotel. Her name was Katrina, from Paraguay, 5'5" blonde blue eye, little birth mark on chin - lots of smoke but no fire so avoid. Maybe she sensed she was not going to get the other half of the option? Who knows.
That is my Black's report. Pls stay tuned for my Area-VIP and Madahos report. All very interesting.
Alhorse, I will not soon return to your hallowed ground though I did come back a few days later to pick up a piece for my wife at Cartier on the ground floor to assuage my guilt. LOL.
