Ask the price before you order
In the past I have given good reviews to Hook. I will likely not go back anytime soon. Drinks were randomly priced. Same drink I paid 150 pesos for at MT came at price of 400 pesos here. I told bartender this was robbery but she said she already poured it. I told her it would be last drink she ever poured for me and that the nice tips I had always sent just dropped to zero. Ask the price before you order! I think they make it up as they go now. I am anything but cheap.....two trips ago on a slow night for kicks and grins I bought all the ladies a driink but that was when the cost has some relationship to sanity and maybe I was a bit tipsy. Not even sure I'll go back. I hope when the new place opens across the street they put hooks back in check. What a shame.

As many hard facts as I could get.
I got in today at 0:45.
There were 17 chicas (about 6 from the Caribean) and 14 patrons (5 coreans). Music was not very loud (much softer than before the shut down). The 4 poles were being used.
Took out 2 chicas at 1:50.
Chica drink: AR$ 350 (Corona beer).
My drink: AR$ 250 (Gin-cola).
Chica 1: "Elizabeth", Paraguayan. Arrived in BsAs 6 months ago. Rather heavy paraguayan accent. Hook is her 1st boliche (she mentioned she worked before at a privado, but I did not understand whether it was in Asuncion or here). Fair skin, blonde hair (chemically assisted). One braid in the middle of her head, ending in a short pony-tyail. About 165 cm high. Says she enjoys sports, especiffically that she plays soccer in a club in Villa Urquiza neighborhood. Typical native American Paraguayan (guarani) eyes. An inch away from being fat, but on the good side. Was dancing on the pole and got my attention. After her stint, came close to my stool, but did not approach me directly. Waited untill I invited her. After a very short, polite and professional Q&A, I asked her to choose a girlfriend to come out with us (on the theory that good lesbian action starts with a pair of chicas that want to work / spend time together). So she produced Chica 2.
Chica 2: "Karen", also Paraguayan. Arrived in BsAs 6 years ago, "when I was 19". Thin, 168 cm tall. Brunet, long hair with no particular style, very fair skin. No trace of guarani blood. Not much of Paraguayan accent. Proudly declares to be a seasoned proffesional, has worked in Hook since she got here, knows the places (both extant and former) and the people.
AR$ 2.000 each.
Good (not terrific) lesbian action: enthousiastic (not passionate) french kissing, mutual masturbation, tit sucking, but not pussy eating.
They both took very good care of me, proactively, with imagination and a variety of resources. Quality oriented professionals. Elizabeth's super-ego drives her to do a very good job. Karen, on the other hand, also performs well, but in her case I believe it is more that she actually likes it. Next time I'll start the conversation with Karen and ask her to choose the second chica.
Not all three-people is a Threesome
After leaving Marlene and Angie at Hook, I went to 977 Marcelo T De Alvear, from which I exit 1 minute later. I double checked that Ness was dead close, and at 3:10, I went back to Hook.
The paragraph above is a very sad, very sad indeed, but accurate description of the lousy state of affairs the City of Buenos Aires has fallen into in respect to night mongering.
Anyway, down the stairs in Hook again. Marlene was already doing the pole and Angie trying to get a client moving.
There were like 10 / 12 clients and about 8 chicas, a couple already in street clothes.
I decided to concentrate on a tall Dominican dancing on the stage. She was the most noticeable chica in Hook that night. I did not pay attention to her earlier because she is not particularly my type, but now I wanted a try.
She is Bella, 100% African descent, 175 cm tall, implanted boobs (a very bad quality job, as the implants fell below the nipples, which ended pointing rather upwards as a missile launcher on a Navy ship). Other than the bad implants / nipple thing, she has the body of an athlete. Long, curly hair, decorated with traces of blond dye.
We went right to the point (not much to discuss at 3:30), and upon my suggestion she brought in chica 2: Cindy. Bella introduced Cindy with an opening that later would have a deeper meaning: "she really knows how to do things".
Cindy is also Dominican, mix raced, about 150-ish cm tall, straight hair also with traces of blond dye. No boobs job. She proudly displays her natural mini-tits. Cindys distinctive trait is a 2.5 mm wide gap between her two front teeth.
Reflecting the underlying economics of the night, we easily settled on AR$ 1,500 each. I was rather surprised to see that the chica drink had fallen from AR$ 350 (see my prior post below) to AR$ 250.
Back to Anchorena street, and into the action. No weed this time.
What developed? Not much. It was decisively not a threesome. Just two women trying to please a man. Bella is completely worthless. It's a miracle how she's been able to survive in this business the 4 years she claims to have been in Buenos Aires. I guess she just gets paid to show her magnificent body (pity the lousy boob job).
Cindy is different story. A consummate, dedicated professional. She, I can see how she's making a living. It took me only two minutes to realize what the situation was, and I put myself completely in the hands (a figure of speech) of Cindy, and all went well. In the end, Bella tried to redeem herself with some massage, which was Ok.
I gave both an extra AR$ 200 for the taxi, left them on the corner of Anchorena and Santa Fe, and drove away after checking that they safely took a cab.
Not much to report, but still reporting
Date: Monday, November 11th.
Time: 23:40.
12 chicas.
4 clients.
None at the poles.
Zero excitement.
At midnight a dedicated dancer (excellent body and face) climbed to one of the poles on the bar, and left Hook after her dancing. First time I noticed a dedicated dancer in Hook (meaning a girl that is there only for the dances).
Other chicas started doing the poles and more clients got in, so at 0:30 there was a little more enthusiasm.
Chatted for a while with Marlen (please see my report of September 25th in this thread). She is now sporting perfectly straight hair, with touches of blond (dyed).
I left with Grisell and Sofi. I could see it was a poor choice and the service was not going to be something to remember, but still I wanted to try.
Grisell: brunette, 173 cm tall, reasonably thin, 35-ish, originally from Corrientes province, native American (Paraguayan) eyes.
Sofi: thin blond hair, 164 cm tall, chubby, BBW, distinctive Slavic traits, would look perfectly in place in a Moscow subway station, but her accent betrays her as coming from Paraguay or the Northeast of Argentina. 35+.
AR$ 1.500 each (both my drink and their drinks cost AR$ 250, parity of drink prices I guess is part of the legal defense against the threat of shut down, futile effort IMHO).
Very poor service, not even BBBJ (and I had taken a shower before we started). And it did not improve from there.
I did enjoy Sofi’s massage afterwards as I was really tired. I don’t know what Grisell was doing at that time.
We left in the same direction (neither was going back to Hook, although it was relatively early and they could have bid for a second engagement in the night), so I offered to share the cab. In the conversation, Sofi commented that the talk in Hook was that closure was to happened at the end of November, early December tops. “What’s your plan then” I asked. And she said she was going, as every year, to spend a few months in Miami. “Do you get to work there?”. Yes, she said, I dance at strip clubs, I work (as hooker), I do things. “Don’t the strip clubs ask you for a green card?”, No, only a couple of clubs that are affiliates of NYC clubs do. In NY or Vegas they ask you your papers. In most clubs in Miami they don’t and it’s Ok.
So there you go: another case of an international independent sex worker.
