Bachelorette party at Taboo

[Ichabod]

I have seen bachelorette parties at Campus and Stock before, but last night (Saturday) was the first time I have ever seen one at Taboo. There were 15-20 young women seated right around the stage, cheering for the dancers. But these were not the regular Taboo dancers. They had brought in 3 or 4 outside strippers (more like what you would see at a strip show for straight women), and the strippers did not even get naked. The party and show ended early (before 10:30) and all the women left. 

 

I really like Taboo, but it seems like an odd place for this sort of event. I also felt badly for the regular Taboo dancers, who just had to stand around while the party was going on (the women did not interact with them at all). But the guys themselves did not seem unhappy about it. Maybe it ended early enough to not hurt their earnings too much? I thought they said this was a newish thing there, and I am sure the owner was happy to get the extra drink sales.

This is why I more often frequent leather bars when I travel, since I want to be around men only.

Taboo has been hosting Bachelorette events for over 6 months.  You never know when they are happening.  I have walked in the bar several times during these events, and I usually leave or play the poker machine.  On Instagram, Taboo is advertising "Trans Tuesday".  I have also seen advertisements for other events such as the Jun 1  " Alexis Mygler'  (no idea who that is)  show for $35 cover and the July 3 "Cattriona" (no idea) show also for $35 cover. The regular crowd has been pretty slow since Covid, so the owner has to find alternate events to stay in business. 

I lean towards Twinks, and I have skipped Taboo my last 3 trips this year.  With Red Diamond currently closed waiting for their license, I spend afternoons at Campus and nights at Stock (which has a big Twink crowd on the weekends) and a few twink dancers now.

Has Campus gotten more lively in the afternoons?  Used to be my go-to afternoon place, but for the past several years it's been dead at that time...essentially no dancers.

Campus is still dead during the day.  There are 1-3 dancers, on average.  I always would start at Campus more to gamble since it was open.  2 of the Red Diamond dancers are there during the late afternoon. 1 is my favorite so I go to see him.   2 other Red Diamon dancers work at Stock .  I will be back in July to enjoy the nice weather.

According to Instagram, it appears that Taboo has now added Sunday as a trans night.  At this point, I don't see a reason to visit Taboo. Hopefully, if there are any good looking dancers left, they move to Campus or Stock.
