The Titles and the Reviews

I believe that the most interesting thing about the strip clubs is their titles. The titles capture the imaginary character of the gentlemen’s clubs. The title is the first thing that pops up into your eyes and brain as a passer-by. Then, right away you connect the title to a particular experience. For instance, ‘Haven’s Place’ associates to something extremely beautiful- a positive experience, a place where only good people with no sins have the right to be there. However, the place in itself comes out as absolutely ordinary with a decent façade you see on the outside ( read the reviews bellow). During the day the line between illusion and reality falls down and all the dreams about the world inside are destroyed.

Another place with controversial title is ‘Crazy Russian’ and as an Eastern European woman I felt personally attached to it more when I first saw it. Wondering why someone will call a strip club with that name? Stereotypes are used for titles to help associate a place with a series of sexual fantasies and juicy titles are used for better advertising. Russian girls are very often stereotyped as very sexual and feminine women and maybe a little 'crazy’ perhaps. ‘Crazy’ meaning funny, entertaining and seductive dancer…

But here is what people wrote about 'Crazy Russian ' bar that was announced for thе best strip bar in town for 2008:

'This is not your average strip club. Don't visit with nude women in mind. It's a pasties club. This place is an experience. Gorgeous women.'
