I was in DC for an extended weekend between business tips and was able to finally see the new Secrets. I lived in DC when the bars were torn down for the stadium. I was at Zieg's for Ella's final performance of the era!
The new Secrets is gorgeous! I love all the possibilities and that the dance floor is now in the midst of all the strippers (instead of on the Zieg side of the bar) since I like to dance and look at the strippers! The nights I went there were two just incredible muscle boys dancing. One seemed to be a "seasoned" professional - Max. On the shorter side but nicely muscled and liked to tease with it. The other guy was this gorgeous Adonis - 6'1", 210ish, blond, beautiful shape. He said he was a swimmer in his "native country" (Eastern European) and he had the lats to prove it. I was in awe but all-in-all just one of the finest specimens I've ever seen dancing. And did I mention that his endowment was disproportionately large?
Anyway, I had a great time at Secrets. I can't wait to spend some time there over the holidays. Unfortunately I went from DC to NYC - where I had a fantastic time with a few other dancers. The NYC experience pales in comparison. But Secrets is an incredible jewel in our Nation's capital!
