Centerfolds, Seattle’s one and only strip club for women (which
hardly anyone even knows about), is celebrating its 17-year
anniversary. Seventeen years! Every Friday and Saturday night,
beefcakey guys strip, pole dance, and slap their own asses for a
giddy, giggling room of women with sweaty, crumpled dollar bills
in their even sweatier hands. A perfect no-boys-allowed place, the
‘Fold is rarely crowded. This is not for a lack of girls who want
some shiny man-satin right up in their grills, but because
Centerfolds is way the hell out in Ballard/Crown Hill. If it were
downtown, it’d be a whole different, uh, ball game. (Centerfolds,
8517 15th Ave NW, 783-8534. 8 pm–2:30 am, $15, 18+. No
alcohol.)

and why do we care ???
give the guy some stuffing
or show just his pretty ass
and they don’t want gay men? ho hummmmmm
@1 to that point, why isn’t there a gay male strip joint around here?
it’s not ‘way the hell out there’
jesus christ, do you hipsters ever leave capitol hill
Why would they leave the Hill? Nothing cool ever happens outside of it. Besides, the rest of us that live in other neighborhoods aren’t living the dream.
Greenlake, yo.
ANSWER TO ALL – we do not drive and so it takes fucking forever to go to the outer world on the fucking bus.
AND FURTHER – what the hell do you have to offer? My sex life is perfect, rent is cheap and I party 5 night out of seven.
So I am supposed to go to Ballard to drool? Lake City QFC? (there are two on Broadway folks)
This is the age of shrinking geograpy, and if i go somewhere it is on a ferry to the islands.
Not a chance.
Maybe my TS/TV/CD friend and I will put on a face and go see the boys and their family jewels. It might be worth a shave…
…because nothing says fun for a gay man like being in a room chocked-full of liquored-up, squealing, sexually repressed, pre-menopausal woman with wrinkled dollar bills in their clenched fists while a bunch of Fabio-looking wannabees give them facial dry humps to Tom Jones’ “She’s a Lady.”
When those ladies find out that a few of the girls have a little something extra, it might be quite a party indeed.
@7: Is that what goes on at that joint? I’m there!
I wish we had a Silverado. I hate Silverado but still wish we had one.
There are tens of thousands of free pix all over the net better than this.
Get some taste. Try google.
I miss the old days of Papa Bear’s or Dandy’s!
