So, you have convinced the Exotic Dancer, who earlier in the week won a $750 pole dancing competition at a rival Gentleman’s Club, to cruise home with you when she gets off work. (Which, is weird, since I recently swooped on an Exotic Dancer who won a $750 pole dancing competition at a rival Gentleman’s Club earlier this week. But that’s neither Brioni nor Armani.) But you still are far from Paradise (and I don’t mean Club Paradise in Las Vegas or Club Paradise in Kiev, Ukraine either). Either way, you have been keeping a grin on her now. And she wants to travel with you where they wear bikinis in the winter too now. And maybe she thinks, in time, you will spend a few thou. So, things are looking lovely (and I don’t mean that fly Exotic Dancer I know named Lovely that works at Scores in NYC, real name Cindy, either). But before she wants to come over to you crib, she wants to get something to eat. We all are familiar with the concept that Exotics like to eat after work. The pinnacle moment of the swoop comes when she says something like, “Do you want to go to Denny’s?” and you say “Sure, I will meet you there”. Wrong answer.
Side note: Exotic Dancers don’t always have the best taste in late night cuisine.
Wu-Tang Clan – Ice Cream
Meeting an Exotic Dancer at a place like Denny’s isn’t a horrible move on paper (after all, you are doing better that 99.9% of the guys in the Gentleman’s Club, since you actually Are meeting an Exotic Dancer after she gets off work). But keep in mind, you are still a few rounds away from winning a unanimous decision on the judges cards. Meeting an Exotic at a place like Denny’s, does open you up to many potential Cambodian Landmines.
Running into guys from the Gentleman’s Club that she fleeced for $1200 earlier in the night.
Running into regular drunk guy, eating some “Moons over My Hammy”, trying to put salt in your Game.
Tina Turner “Private Dancer”
So how does the upwardly mobile G get past this? Great question. The best thing to do is meet at your crib or luxury hotel room and keep some high-end cuisine on staff at your crib. I typically keep some freshly made insalata caprese made with Imported buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, basil vinaigrette, or Côte de porc charcutière with hand rolled gnocchi or freshly caught surf clam with nasturtium, cucumber and shallots in my fridge for situations such as these. At least, keep some imported High-end meats and cheeses in the fridge. Let’s face it though, you can probably have some pizza or homemade pastas on hand and it will probably do the trick. I just like to go for the style points that haute cuisine brings. Plus I like Salmón a la sidra con huevas de trucha at 3am.
Donna Summer – Bad Girls (at Johnny Carson’s in 1979)
Having Haute Cuisine on staff is preferable to cooking food at your crib as well. This is especially apparent when you have got two Exotics at your crib. The time it takes to bust out some Lobster Ravioli’s with a Peekytoe Crab Aurora Sauce could make the Exotics lose their edge. And we don’t want anyone to lose their edge, right?

Patra – Worker Man (not sure what is about Patra. Except she might be the hottest girl who has ever lived. But I am not sure why. Watch this and maybe you can help me figure it out.) Either way, I think it is time for a trip to Jamaica again.
DONNA SUMMER Bad Girls (Demo 1979) I like this version also.
The flawless 6.04 carat Blue Diamon was sold today for $7.98 million (or £3.91 million, the dollar is so weak right now. It can really hurt when you need to pick up some custom suits…Savile Row), the highest ever paid for a rare gemstone at auction per carat. It was expected to go for $6 million at Sotheby’s in Hong Kong.
My contacts tell me the bidding was pretty intense, as the Blue Diamond attracted potential heavyweight buyers from around the world. Blue Diamonds really only come from the Premier Mine in South Africa where the chances of finding one is a longshot, to say the least. Another famous Blue Diamond is the Hope Diamond (the largest in the world, at 45.52 carats) which now resides in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C. (were I have spent many an afternoon casing it).
The “Hancock Red” diamond, which fetched $926,000 (£456,000) per carat in New York in April 1987.
The Blue Diamond was bought by Moussaieff Jewellers and will be locked a vault in Mayfair. I have been meaning to go to London soon, anyway, this just gives me another reason.
Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao Vs Marco Antonio “Baby Faced Assassin” Barrera
This fight should be straight fireworks while it lasts. And how could you not like either fighter? Manny “PacMan” Pacquiao is a classic rags to riches story in the purest sense. Pacquiao went from selling cigarettes as a youth on the mean streets on Manilla to being the most influential individual in the Philippines, period. Now thats G.
Barrera is the ultimate warrior never backing down from a fight. Sharp as an icicle.
Pretty much everyone and their real estate agent is picking Pacquiao to win this fight in under 9 rounds. But keep in your dome, Barrera still does have a chance. It should be straight war all the way and in a war, fighters of Barrera’s quality always have a shot. And I think Barrera has more than a shot at an upset. Especially if Barrera can put together a master game plan. Anyone remember Prince Nassem Hamed?
As much as I would like to see Barrera win and set up a rubber match (which would be the best for Boxing), my gut tells me Pacquiao will send Barrera to an early post-fight cocktail. Win or lose, Barrera should enjoy it, he deserves it. (When I was a youth, and boxed Golden Gloves, I always used to have a post fight cocktail. Hell, who is fooling whom? I used to have cocktails before fights and still win…)
Either way, you don’t want to miss this one.
The Rest is Up to You……
Interesting side note:
In regards to Pacquiao vs Barrera, Bob Arum stated: “It is a very serious mistake to think that because Manny knocked Barrera out in 2003, he’s going to do it again.”
Arum added: “The circumstances are totally different. I think Manny will win, but not because he won in 2003, but because he’s really improved tremendously since then. (Trainer) Freddie Roach has done a great job with him”
