We have been running our T-Girl Strip event since March of 2003. We have mutually decided with Diamonds Cabaret to close the event. The last day will be Wednesday April 28 2010. It is the end of an era.
The main reason we are discontinuing this event is that Todd and myself want to concentrate 100% on our downtown venue Goodhandy's. We have been putting a lot of effort into renovations and improvements in the club, and will continue to do so as we move forward.
We will be holding T-Girl burlesque nights starting in May, every Monday and Tuesday evening. There will be shows from 10:00pm till 1:00am, in a similar format as The Lounge. And the ladies will be available to join you in the sex-positive Diamond Room, between their shows. And of course our Thursday nights at Goodhandy's, "Wall-To-Wall T-Girls", will continue as always.
We will be allowing all Gents, Couples and T-Girls to attend on Mondays and Tuesdays. And we will be scheduling certain T-Girls to entertain on stage.
The other reasons for closing the Lounge event:
Some people have been getting sloppy about leaving condoms in the booths at The Lounge, therefore bringing attention to sexual activity. Sexual activity is not allowed at The Lounge, and we have tried to enforce this over and over. Diamonds Cabaret does not want to lose their Adult entertainment license, so they can't continue with these complaints being brought to their attention, and we do not blame them.
They have no intention of housing T-Girl events in the future, unless we decide to start this up again, because of our already established positive relationship with Diamonds Cabaret Management. And there would be much tougher rules put into play.
We have also been dismayed at the number of public postings regarding The Lounge, on message boards. These postings imply exchange of money for sex at our event, and continue to insult the up-keep of the venue.
Todd and I have numerously defended our case, and sometimes enough is enough.
The people who consistently complain, berate and moan about our event should be proud of their contribution to the end of this era. We only hope that in the future people will start appreciating what has been provided for them and keep their whining to themselves.
If you do not like our events or our venue, please feel free to stay at home, and stop bothering the rest of us consenting adults who wish to have fun, and overlook minor flaws in our T-Girl venues and occasional faux pas in behavior. These things usually get fixed and resolved in time, but some may never get fixed. We are both advocates of the decriminalization of sex work, and we sincerely hope that the Supreme Court challenge (currently underway) by brave radicals and volunteer law students, will result in a much freer Canada. In the meantime, we all must live in a world of grey areas and we would hope that those intelligent consenting adults that have similar philosophies to ours would use better common sense in their public communications.
Thank you all so much for supporting The Lounge event for so long, we really have enjoyed your support. We will be handing out free passes to Goodhandy's to those who go to the Lounge this month and we hope you enjoy coming to our new Monday and Tuesday T-Girl Burlesque Nights at Goodhandy's.
Please note: We will be scheduling as many ladies as possible this month, including return appearances from some past crowd favorites, with the intention of "going out with a bang!" So please enjoy the last month of the Lounge with us.
Love and respect,
Mandy Goodhandy and Todd Klinck
