My wife was going to have a girl’s night out on Friday and go see Magic Mike. Something came up and she couldn’t make it so I told her I would go see it with her. I didn’t want to see it but in my ongoing effort to be a better husband I went so that she could see it. Plus I thought it was a chick flick and I could write a blog post making fun of it. But here’s the thing – it really isn’t a chick flick and I actually liked it and my wife thought it was ok but didn’t like it that much. I mean this movie has tits, a little F/F action, a blow job scene and M/F/F action. My kind of movie.
We arrived at the movie theater and I went to get the tickets with my wife standing behind me. The girl behind the window was very nice but when I said “two tickets for Magic Mike” she looked at me funny. It caught me off guard and I blurted out “I’m married, seriously this is my wife”. I turned around and she was gone and there was a guy standing there wondering why I just referred to him as my wife. I looked around and saw my wife looking at the Magic Mike poster and I said to the girl “there she is, that’s my wife”. The girl just looked at me with an “I accept you for who you are look”.
We go to the concession stand and get two bottles of water which cost about $50. We walked to the theater and went inside. It was so bizarre- it was like walking into my blog – it was me and 200 women and they were all looking at me. As we walked up aisle I felt the need to explain myself to all of the women staring at me so I kept saying “I’m here for my wife” as I pointed at her.
One of the things I love about my wife is her sense of humor but she picked the wrong fucking time to try and be funny. She looks at me and in a loud voice says “hurry up girlfriend”.
So the movie starts and the first strip scene all of the women in the theater start screaming. I thought that was cool cause I’m all about fun so when a scene came that showed tits I screamed “YEAH BABY” because I really felt the need to certify my heterosexual credentials. No one laughed which really bothered me so every time there was female nudity I got more obnoxious till my wife told me to shut up.
My thoughts on the movie and what it taught me:
Matthew Mcwhateverthefuckitis creeps me out. I don’t know what it is about that dude but he is freaky.
The dude who played the lead role can fuckin’ dance.
Male strippers get laid a lot.
I wish I was a male stripper (if I wasn’t happily married to a princess)
If I was a male stripper I wouldn’t make much money.
I could never be a male stripper.
I could never be a female stripper either because I am a man.
There are 200 women who think I am gay.
I could never pull off wearing a thong.
My dick isn’t as big as I want.
My dick isn’t as big as my wife wants. She just made me add that this isn’t true.
My dick will never be bigger than it is.
I wonder if they sell things that will make your dick bigger.
It’s not a chick flick and the story is actually pretty good and it isn’t sappy with an ending that is neatly tied with a bow.
Lastly it changed my rules on hugging etiquette. The following is an additional circumstance when it is ok to hug another man:
If you accidentally walk in on your friend having sex with his wife and not only does he not get mad but tells you to feel his wife’s tits it is ok to hug him.
I’ll be back in a second, I have to go change my panties!!!! That was hysterical …. I loved the Matthew mcfuck……I can never spell his name right either!
So, there’s a real story huh? Just to show you where my mind is, when you said tied with a bow, I was thinking of something else! That was great of you to go, I’m sure Lexie appreciated it. I may wait for it or come out in DVD. OK, let’s see what the Ladies think………..
Pat, I don’t think I am going either so can I borrow the DVD after you?
Oh my – I am debating on going – but the Hubs won’t go with me.
Have Lexie bring a BIG purse and sneak in two bottles of water…
I saw the trailer and wondered if Chatham really did all that dancing or did he have a double.
No Kim he is a dancer. He was actually a stripper in real life and he can dance. It’s a good movie and your hubby will like it. It’s not a chick flick.
If I get the Hubs to that movie the earth would move so much you all will think New England had an earthquake.
I went online and watched some trailers and I will say his dancing was hot
Now I REALLY can’t wait to go see it!!
I heard in a radio interview that Channing Tatum actually was a stripper before he got into acting.
And I usually sneak my own candy in because who wants to spend $20 for a bag of M&M’s!?!
It’s good, it really is
According to “People” & Ladybug he was a stripper for about a year and he was in “Step Up” (a dance movie). So, I think he did his own dancing. LB & I saw it yesterday while Manbug (Oval) saw that new vampire movie. I agree with Lexie. I did not like it as much as I thought (hoped) I would. Normally, I am fond of Matthew McC…. but in this moive I was just creeped out by him.
Oh… LB & I took BIG purses, but I caved for popcorn.
I missed something….Doodlebug, how are with Ladybug and Oval? ( if anyone was reading this statement they would think I’m nuttier than I am.
Oh, Rm, I was first and you missed me….HA HA
Sorry I missed you but you posted too quick. Just know this: all of the bugs are related.
For the record, Manbug and I are only related by marriage. Yes, we are both from Alabama originally, but it is not like that
.
Thanks, I can handle that.
OMG, the Alabama thing? I know it is so not PC and plays to every stereotype, but that was fucking hysterical!
Diane– the best part? I can say it because I am from there, but if you are from up north or out west it is totally taboo
. Other acceptable things for southerners to do (but not non-southerners): Deliverance banjo music and saying “bless your/his/her/their heart” after a huge insult. The downside– people generally subtract 100 IQ points when I open my mouth and I lived in Wisconsin for almost a year and couldn’t order pizza or Chinese food because NO ONE could understand me 
.
LMAO, Pat. That comment should win some sort of super stealth award. We’re like the WWII code talkers
. Doodlebug is my sister. I made her start reading this blog under threat of violence. She can’t view the blog at work so if anything good happens, I call her and read it to her 
.
isn’t doodlebug the child? who is Oval??
For semi-clarity:
Ladybug is married to Manbug/Oval. Their children are the babybug.
I, Doodlebug, sister to Ladybug and aunt to the babybugs. Ladybug forced me on the post to back up her story about the “granny panties”, which is true BTW. Now, I won’t go away LOL.
fucking hysterical:!:
Ya’ll are too funny
Manbug may not be speaking to you after you bitch slapped him on the other post
I’m not worried about Manbug… He won’t make the babysitter mad.
darn straight
You are awesome!!! That was so funny!
Thanks Emilia!
I agree on two counts:
1. Matthew is a FREAK! I have never cared for him but he was crazyass funny in this movie!
2. Channing Tatum has moves BEYOND Jagger! That man can pump and grind like no other and he was definitely the star of the show.
I thought the lead actress sucked and had no chemistry with Tatum and the overall plot was meh but I will own the DVD for the dance scenes alone.
Glad you took one for the team and went with Lexie. Now over 200 people in the population of Florida are certain you are gay and want a penis pump. You rock!
Thanks Amy, I thought the plot was pretty good but maybe that’s because my expectations were so low. The lead actress was pretty bad.
I agree he is creepy but Mats body is awesome! Just not his face or mannorisms. The lead actress was bad. Overall I loved it!
Amy, I agree, the plot (oh, what plot?). anyway, there wasn’t much chemistry between the actress and Channing, and what happened to the end of movie sex scene between them??nonexistent!!! any good romance novel would have put in a sex scene for them!
I thought the ending was weird, too. It was like someone got a little edit happy. I wasn’t expecting an Oscar-worthy plot going into this, but it seemed really disjointed. You’re right, LG, a good romance novel would have put a sex scene in for them. I think our expectations have been set too high by what we have been reading.
I thought Matthew M was smarmy in the previews! I haven’t seen it yet. And… yes, Channing Tatum should be able to dance because he’s the guy who was a stripper before he became an actor. ;D
(Only not really, but it’s fun to say.)
Makes one wonder how much is based on fact/life…
I’m still trying to figure out who the last guy you mentioned was! Someone said Matt Bomer, but I just can’t picture that!
Wait what last guy? And I think he was a stripper in real life. I think he helped write the screenplay.
Ok I’m confused. Who might have been a stripper in real life? Channing Tatum? [Him, yes definitely]
The “last guy” I’m talking about is the last guy you mentioned in your blog post. The guy who told his friend to feel up his wife. Do you know the actor’s name? … >.> Or say find a movie poster and point him out?
That would be Matt Bomer
Matt Bomer is gay, he outed himself at an awards ceremony recently. Not that it matters, in the grand scheme of great abs.
I TOTALLY CAN’T SEE THAT!!!
Can’t see as in can’t picture Matt Bomer doing that/acting like that. But I guess if it’s his character… Hm.
Ok, Channing was a stripper in real life. I don’t know the actor that had had the his wife’s tits felt.
What the fuck did you just type? Use the edit button man. Are you too excited by the movie to type?
Wow, a man’s opinion on this movie! I’m glad I’m sittin on a towel
When I went there were men there w/ their girlfriend/wives (M/F), but nobody yelled ‘YEAH BABY’. I would have howled at that! Channing Tatum CAN DANCE. Mike Mc whatever played a sleazy guy in the movie and he was GREAT at it!! I still say he is hot.
Have you checked your email
yes and I sent a reply
You, RM…you are a renaissance man….the alpha and omega of husbands…..a man for all seasons and reasons……..
Taking your wife to that movie was not only considerate but supportive of something your wife wanted to do. It was something you didn’t want to do and you get brownie points for that alone. And what happens? You were rewarded with female nudity, sex scenes, and tittering women. Did you envision yourself as a male stripper? Sure you don’t feel you’d measure up but guess what: it’s not the goods your have but how you shake ‘um baby! Come on RM, we know you’ve got the moves! Or not……I may have to see that movie now. I don’t care for Matthew Mc…..whatever…….either. I think there is something inside that man that is downright …. well…….not like the outside he’s projecting. He does have that wash-board though…..so…….2 points for that. I thought it especially GREAT that your wife has the sense of humor she does and in fact isn’t afraid to lend it your way……even if she did make you look like a gal-pal. It sounds like you had fun and were not bored. It’s all good then. About that water though…..the cost of that is just WRONG. If you’d popped for a box of candy and an ice cream you’d have had to forget about sending your kids to college………Thanks for the update RM. You are as always…..a terrific blogger and all around sensitive guy.
Thanks Skeletor but I am not a sensitive man I am an Alpha male goddamit!
Ya…right. We’ve got your number RM……
I AM THE MATADOR GODAMMIT!
keep saying it so you will convince at least one person
Cupcake Matador
Uhm, the Matador who keeps adding reasons to hug? LOL
LMAO! Oh my goodness. We just saw it last night and glad for a military discount. However, your blog is freaking awesome today. Matthew what the fuck creeps me out too. The lead stripper can dance cause he use to be a stripper before he got discovered. I also think where your club is located that will make or break you. Glad you enjoyed the movie.
What is it about that guy that is so creepy?
I don’t know, but he was really sleazy in that movie. I’m sure they could have found some else to play that part. What I don’t get is women think he’s hot. Really, I don’t think so.
He is really weird.
he is not creepy! he is sexy! am I the only one here who digs Matthew Mc —
So far, Lady G. you’re the only one I see that thinks Matthew Mcwhatever is hot.
I also don’t find Brad Pitt hot. He looks like he could use a good hair washing.
Thank you! Brad Pitt does nothing for me!
I don’t think Brad is hot either.
Same re Brad Pitt- never got him as hot…my SIL thinks Mattthew Mcwho is hot tho
Matt Mc did a show on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and he didn’t come across as creepy. IMO.
Brad Pitt isn’t all that.
I don’t find him attractive at all. I think it’s his smarmy smirk, his beedy eyes and he exudes a cocky, unattractive aura about him.
Not that a lot of Hollyweird actors aren’t full of themselves, but he excels at showing how far his head is up his ass.
That could be it. Yuck. Not hot at all.
Was he the one that was arrested for dancing around naked while he was high or something?
To me its the scraggily facial hair, his face needs some more fat – too thin, and his voice does get to me
Doodlebug and I went to see it yesterday at the 1:20pm showing and the theater was packed. There was one guy (I am pretty sure it wasn’t you, RM, because this dude was probably 80) and the rest were women. Like you said, just like this blog. It was a rowdy bunch– hooting, hollering, picture taking. I am with Lexie– I wasn’t terribly impressed but it was kind of one of those things you do once in your life. I’ve seen it and now I can move on. I do think my nightmare last night was induced by one of the very last scenes where Matthew Mcwhateverthefuckitis was stripping and he bent over at the end of the dance. Didn’t work for me. Joe Manganiello in the fireman’s costume did work for me, however
.
You are a good husband for going with Lexie to see it. Manbug probably would have gone if I had asked nicely and promised a lot of wicked things, but he went to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter while we watched Joe M. (I am sure there were other guys in the movie, but I didn’t pay a lot of attention
.
If you keep adding times when it is okay to hug another guy, you are going to turn into your huggy friend
.
First, that is the last hugging rule. Second, doodlebug bitch slapped manbug on the last post.
RM, you’re gonna get me in trouble. Ginger will come and get me. Just remember Ginger, THIS time I was on your side. I was NOT taking manbug’s side. Also, I’m the chief babybug sitter (innocent look)
Oh she did, didn’t she? I was going to let all of his strutting around about laziness and chore avoidance just slide by so he could try to keep up his street (oops I mean “blog”) cred, but she totally outed him.
LOL!
Sorry doodlebug but a good bitch slapping will not be ignored. But I don’t blame you – Ginger is scary.
I missed that. I will have to check it out. Poor guy– two redheaded women bitch slapping him.
Yeah, he’s fucked.
I would want to see it just for Joe M. He is definitely a hunk, when he’s not playing a vampire!
Him standing on stage in the fireman’s pants, suspenders, and axe totally makes up for Matthew Mcwhateverthefuckitis bending over
I will have to zero in on the fireman when I go see it. Thanks ladies.
Pat I agree about Joe, being uber hot, but he is a werewolf (yum) not a vampire
Yep…. a beautiful Were Wolf!
OMG toooo funny! I went with my gay best friend… A huge group of women asked him how he got roped into coming (he is “out” but definitely not an obviously gay man) and his response was “I finally get to be a FAG for my HAG!” in a lumberjack kind of voice. Couldn’t tell if the women were embarrassed or just confused but it got the ball rolling in the theater. I have to say it was the loudest movie audience outside of Rocky Horror that I’ve ever been to!
But honestly good for you RM for going with your wife. Took one for the team!
Love this post!
Great post Dhia, thanks!
Added note: I heard on some Entertainment Tonight show that Channing Tatum was being considered to play Christian Grey…….ya know the Fifty Shades hottie……
I just don’t how I feel about him as Christian Grey. I can’t picture it. If it’s true, curiosity may force me to see it.
I had read that Ian Somerhalder was always in the running to play the 50 Shades role.
That would be also, not always. Is there an edit button? I shouldn’t be multi-tasking again, causes a lot of typos
For whatever reason, I can see Ian Somerhalder as Christian Grey a little easier than Channing Tatum.
Ian Somerhalder has gorgeous eyes! He’s only 5’10″ though and I think Christian Grey was over 6′ tall. Maybe they could boost his shoes save for when Christian Grey might have to be nekkid and then who cares how tall he is…..
You are a brave brave man and I salute you for going to the movie with your wife. I could not stop laughing, again you have brightened my day. I am going to see it when I go visit my daughter, she is like me, she didn’t want to go see it alone and look like a perv, lol. Her husband won’t go see it and I don’t think mine would either. Again you were sooooooo brave!!
It really isn’t that bad and it isn’t a chick flick
LMAO! I can’t breath I’m laughing so much! Holy crap! I saw the movie on Friday. I thought it was good. The story was kind of a sad look at their life. I’ve known male and female strippers and honestly Magic Mike was pretty close to what it’s like for them. I know women were expecting a chick flick with lots of stripping, but it was actually a story about male strippers.
PS
Oh and about wondering if they sell things that make certain things bigger…um did you notice the pump in the lower left corner of the screen during one of the scenes?
That pump is a temporary fix, not a permanent one. trust me.
Already researched that, have you?
Already tried it.
LOL, my SIL, was showing me and my sis from Spain her vibrators ( she’s taking us shopping next week to her favorite store) and showed us the vagussy toy she got my brother ( he left the room as soon as he knew what we were up to
It’s a tube about 8 in. long with a soft rubber middle and apparently very male friendly….may take one home to hubby 
personal experience?
Damn was hoping to get hubby an interesting Christmas present and me a happy one.
I’m glad you took Lexie to the movies after she missed her girls night
I can’t believe no one laughed at your, “YEAH BABY!” I so would have if I’d been in the theatre, RM 
And I 100% agree with you, Matthew Mcwhateverthefuckitis, creeps me the hell out as well!
Excellent post! thanks for the laugh
I know right? That joke was funny.
I think they touted it a Chick Flick to get hoards of women to go see it. We women are strangely drawn to half naked men who bump and grind……….
Yeah baby!!
So I just read Hubs your post who cracked up, and I said, if RM can go, you certainly can go with me. He just looked at me and said I told you I would go because you told me if I went with you, I would get lucky! I forgot. Now we have a date for Tuesday night! I better remember!
Cool, have fun!
In my defense of forgetting, we are in our 60′s we have REMEMBER these things’
–in a loud voice says “hurry up girlfriend”.–
LEXIE!!!!!! High five! Thank you, thank you, thank you. You made my night.
Fuck you! I mean that in the nicest way.
Get bent. And I mean that in the sweetest way.
The guy behind him at the counter probably hoped he wouldn’t get bent. LOL
Hmmm. Is gay marriage legal in Florida yet?
Florida is redneck central. cannot imagine gay marriage there
LOL LOL! Lexie, you rock. Gotta love a mischievous gal.
Your spot on with Florida. It still can’t finds its head in its own ass.
Also about Matt Whatshisfuckingname.
I think he’s kinda cute. Course I think Joe and Channing are too.
The one cute I don’t get and never did…Leonardo DiCaprio.
He looks 12—still. Not cute.
Thanks for the review of MM, RM. And for all the laughs (as usual). You truly show your love to Lexie in all kinds of ways.
My sister is in the hospital (5th round of skin grafts for her burned face, neck and shoulders) and I told her that when she’s ready for a night out, I’ll take her to see Magic Mike, walker and all. That sure brightened her day
With all the bad-mouthing of Matthew McConaughey on this blog, what I’m hearing is that he acted out a part extremely well. Have to admit that I’ve been living under a rock. I haven’t seen Channing Tatum in any movie yet, so I’m looking forward to that experience. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to have a sensitive, er, macho guy yelling Yeah Baby at the first sight of a pair of tits.
Cris, I sincerely hope hope you sister is doing ok.
Thanks, RM. We’re hoping the doctor discharges her tomorrow. Will let you know.
LMAO! RM you slay me. I just got hubby to read the post as well. He can totally relate to your experience, he’s been in that situation one or two times with a movie I wanted to see that my girlfriends weren’t interested in. That’s what makes you guys ultra-adorable to us wives, not the size of anything.
I’m planning on seeing the movie for a guilty pleasure girl’s night out this week, not really expecting plot or characterization, however, sounds like there could be a story behind all the abs and booty shaking.
Thanks for your input and for the LOL this evening.
DON’T MISS THE FIRST 5 MINUTES.. thats where most of the skin and threeways are!
Thanks for the heads up (no pun intended for you, RM) LOL.
Ditto on the thanks for the info re the 1st 5 min…. my little sis comes tomorrow for a week so us 3 sisters will go to MM besides going to Lucy’s Sex Shop to shop with our SIL
LMAO!! Way to take one for the team and you should get lots of brownie points for going with Lexie. Very brave of you. Also, it is good to know that you revised your hugging policy, I am sure that will come in handy sometime. Funny as hell as usual!!
LOL Lexie, that was hilarious!!
My husband went with me too! The theatre was packed with women. He was a little embarrassed that he was the only guy there! I actually really didn’t like it that much. The first half was funny but the whole drug scene really hugged me.
Bugged me not hugged me. Lol
LG — I just realized how confusing all of these bugs are.
Bug family tree goes like this:
Ladybug and Doodlebug are sisters.
Manbug is married to (but not a blood relation to
) Ladybug.
Boy Babybug and Girl Babybug are LB and MB’s beautiful buggy babies.
Manbug refuses to acknowledge his bug family name so he has chosen the moniker “Oval” in an attempt to be defiant. BUT I will not be thwarted and continue to refer to him as “Manbug”. Oval is the actual name that Girl Babybug calls Manbug (her daddy). Again, “awwwwwww…..”
Makes perfect sense, right?
thank you for the clarification. I am so glad that manbug changed his moniker from that stupid other one that he started with. Oval is much better and actually means something!
Thank you also for clarification, ladybug! I figured you all are related. Love the bug family concept and picture!
RM,
FYI, a movie with half naked men in it IS a chick flick!
I will be going to see it later this week with my friend and when we were discussing the time to go, our husbands just sat there with the biggest shit-eating grins on their faces, because they know they will be getting lucky later that night!
Ooooooh, Matthew Whateverhisface is soooo creepy!!!! There were actually several men in the theater with us and were good sports. I feel like the women got jipped. Guys got tits. What did we get? Some ass and thongs and one penis prop silhouette!!
Exactly
Yeah I heard about the penis prop silhouette! Lol. Too funny.
It’s not much
They may not have been such good sports. Back when male strip bars were a big deal (places like Chippendales here in NYC, etc), the word among men was that if you wanted to get laid, you would go to one of those places once ‘the doors were open’ i.e they let men in there…..even though the crowd in those places tended to be married women (or unmarried women on a ‘gal’s night out’ or whatever, who were in the minority), word was you could often get lucky , apparently the married women were the worse offenders (on the other hand, I can’t say for sure, I was already a fallen man by then *lol*). In any event, could be guys figure a movie like this might get some women all heated up and get lucky…….though if it disappointed, then alas, they might get to share some milk duds or something……
Sounds to me like the people who made this figured out the description would turn away men and decided, as usual, to put elements into it that guys would like (judging by RM’s reaction, that is)…..that is the problem with trying to please everyone, usually that means they end up catering to guys anyway.
Lmao way to go Lexie I mean that with love RM I can’t wait to see it. I was 20 when the first chippindale calendar came out and I lived in Utah I always said I would meet Mr Feb. A few years later I was a nanny in CA and went to see the show. And you won’t believe it Mr Feb was there and of all the woman there that night he picked me out to flirt with when he performed. So know one can tell me wishes don’t come true
best night ever.
Awesome!
That is so awesome! Great Story. It give me hope that wishes can come true
Thank you Lady Godiva they do when you least except it.
Great post RM! You had me LMAO! Sorry, I know you probably didn’t think so, but it was so funny that Lexie called you “girlfriend” in front of all those women! And when you said “yeah baby” I would have busted out laughing if I was in that theater. Next time you should just sneak the candy and drinks in Lexie’s purse so you don’t have to dish out so much dough for refreshments!
It wasn’t funny at the time Lulu
I never understood why its ok to show tits but not dicks.
It just must come from the fact that men are sooo sensitive to the size differences that to show them, it would hurt other less endowed mens egos.
Because men run the studios and they made that decision because they have little dicks
Tits and dicks are not in the same category. Dicks and Vulva would be similar, but HollyWood will never show a woman’s bits. If you don’t believe, I would challenge you in a “name movies” that showed men/women anatomies. I guarantee that I can name more movies with a penis shot than you can of the opposite.
Am I the only woman who has no interest whatsoever in that movie? Male strippers just do NOT do it for me. Went to a hugely popular male strip club back in the 80′s with a bunch of gal pals and had a sweaty stranger sticking it in my face as he danced.
Not sexy at all. Total turn off. NO THANK YOU!
That is exactly how my wife thinks Victoria.
Victoria, I have no plans to see it either. I love my smutty books but I’ve only been to one male strip show and I was so uncomfortable.
Why was it uncomfortable were you sitting on a tack or something
Oh, If I had lots of money, I would fly you out here, put you up at the Bellagio, and drag you to the movie with me.! That would be fun! Channing Tatum has a fine ass
I’ve never been to a live strip show, have no interest in seeing one. This movie sounds like a fun girl’s night out type of movie, that is mindless and takes us away from some of the stresses.
But it’s sounding like it’s more geared visually for the men than women.
I agree Selena, no desire to go to a strip show, but I do enjoy naked men and Joe M is worth sharing a girls outing with my sissies who are True Blood/ Sookie fans
That’s kind of the same thought process my sister and I had. The movie was a fun girls’ day out thing, but I really have no desire to go to an actual male strip club.
Wait wait LG….I want the Bellagio too! A room overlooking the fountain!
you ladies will have to share the room overlooking the fountains.
RM, Lexie is a lucky lady. DH did. Ot want to come with me. Oh well, his lost.
Channing tatum rocked that stage. I’m a bit dissap
RM, Lexie is a lucky lady. DH did not want to come with me. Oh well, his lost.
Channing tatum rocked that stage and I agree Mathew mc whatever is creepy looking but his bod wat hot but I’m a bit dissappointed. The first half was great but in an attempt to make the move have a plot. The last 40-50% suffered. No plot needed. J/S.
Love this post!!!
Yeah but it was better than i expected.
RM, I LOVE that you went to that movie! 6 of us girls went Friday night and the cinema was full of screaming, over half of ‘em DRUNK girls and like 2 men. The 2 men were also the first to be out of the cinema when it was over! LOL
I really wasn’t interested in the tits BUT the ASS was mighty fine! Yes, Channing can dance and I could watch him all night long!
Big Dick Richie…. I want to know if that was ‘really’ him behind that screen b/c if it is I now have new found admiration for my ALCIDE! (from True Blood) LOVE JOE!
Matthew McF was really creepy in this movie… I usually really like him but not so much in this movie.
Loved your review!
Thanks Tracy!
Yeah, Matthew Mcwhatever gives me the shivers. I just don’t see the appeal! Funny post.
He is freaky
I think it was actually a great alpha male thing to do for Lexie, um Matador. After all, alpha men are secure in their maleness and alphaness not to feel insecure watching other men strut their stuff.
So definitele kudos to you! But maybe next time you should stop mentioning that you were there for Lexie ’cause that might seem less alpha male Matador like. Just sayin’.
But have to give Lexie props on her girlfriend remark. Lol! Yay, Lexie!
And thanks for going and letting us hear your take on MM, too.
Thanks WP!
I will show my hubby your blog, but I still don’t think he’ll come with me. Don’t know if I want to watch this with my 17 year old daughter. Will have to get a “girls night” with friends
BTW Matthew Mcwhatthefuck creeps me out too – and my daughters.
Note: My 17 year old daughter’s plans to go with her friends to see it fell through, so we did a family movie night and saw Brave in 3D. I think we all enjoyed that more than we would have MM.
I’m pretty sure I’m not going to see this one. Strippers make me uncomfortable. And kind of sad. I can’t quite put my finger on why. I mean, so many people say it’s empowering and all, but … I don’t know.
Because it is people who have completely sold out. Just like porn
I think it’s because I like there to be some mystery about sexuality. When it’s on display like that, it’s just not enticing. I am probably in the minority here. Also, the sell-out factor may be part of it.
Having gone to strip clubs I can understand what you are saying, elisabeth (and cut the sniggering, RM, you may be the matador but they don’t allow guys into male strip reviews until after the speckled trouts flapping in the breeze have been put away, so I am talking the female kind ). I have been to strip bars and there just wasn’t a big thrill there per se, most of the girls were as plastic as a recycled soda bottle and just as empty and it just wasn’t particularly titilating for me.
Not saying I never had a good time….friends I worked with and I worked nights with one of my first jobs, and we would go to this neighborhood topless bar to talk and talk to the girls as well, just to wind down before heading home. Nothing sexual in it, just two tired guys and a tired gal chewing the fat (place actually had decent food, too, and their corned beef sandwiches on St. pats day were first rate).
I realize it mostly is about illusion and fantasy, about being able to ‘let loose’, but I usually found it was more about the people I was with then getting turned on…..
RM, did you feel the same uncomfortable need to help these strippers pick up their clothes and money?
No.
I forgot. There is a device that was shown in the movie, I assume for enlargement. Did you see that part?! Took a while for my friend to figure it out. I was LOL.
I COMPLETELY saw that. I asked if those really worked and my gay friend just shrugged and said, “So-so.”
Was supposed to have gone with my daughter but something came up and I couldn’t go.
After this review…will make it a point to make time to see it.
Strangely I have been to both, male as well as female strip clubs. The female one was like..eh seen one, seen them all. Lol! For the men, there was one turn off, one guy that had a mane of hair on his butt and it was not a costume. :-p
Now I am not sure whether to go. Lol! I mean, no chemistry between the main characters? No HEA? No long lasting enlargement? Phooey! Snort.
There was a sort of HFN..and the dance scenes were hot. The plot kinda sucked, it really was a story about the life of a male stripper. How bad do you wanna see Channing Tatum’s ass, thats really the question
And it is a fine ass
We have $6 tuesdays here, and I would have been happier with that. I paid 8.50 matinee and I wouldn’t do that again, for this movie. But I watch my pennies. The first scene is one that I’ve never seen outside an Xrated movie. No sex, lots of bare asses. I would have hated to be late and then find out what I missed.
Channing Tatum is probably the next big hunk movie star. Google him. He’s kind of young for us baby boomers, unless you’re Demi Moore
Seeing CT’s ass would be an aside, I want to see Joe M ….That and girl time is why I’ll go…
Lol! I do know Joe M. Yes it might be worth seeing him in that fireman’s outfit.
Thanks, MJ.
I seen it with the girls. Talk about a wide range too. From about 25-68, and in the group was three generations. The movie was not bad and I was pleasantly surprised that there was more dancing and less romance and I’m happy for it.
OK now the question is, cuz the consensus is that after women see strippers they MUST to get laid. I personally think it is just men talking to make themselves feel better and since they don’t measure up to strippers at least they get to do the servicing. Heck, NO ONE measures up to male or female strippers for that matter.
Did RM get lucky after Lexie seen all that man flesh?
No he didn’t
Bummer!!
Yes real bummer.
Hmmm, I didn’t leave that movie all hot and bothered either. Not really like that. Maybe the younger girl crowd that went together and egged each other on . . .
To be honest most female strippers aren’t that great looking, a lot of them look good because they are wearing a ton of makeup, have their hair teased out and a lot of them have seen the wizard and park and 73rd and could be a major shareholder in Dow Corning….and most of them, even at the high end clubs, don’t know how to dance….
Can’t talk about the male ones, but from talking to gay friends of mine, many of them are gay or like to swing that way, despite the fantasy they sell to women. And most of them might have decent bodies, obviously (ain’t no one going to ask me to be a male stripper, unless they do a remake of “The Full Monty” or something)….
Striip shows are an illusion and one that based on my experience dies pretty quickly……I have no problem with the clubs existing and god bless em, if it gives people a thrill, go for it, and I have known women who made some pretty decent money there and used it to improve their lives, gotten degrees and then moved on…..
Thanks Dude. I had gotten my wife convinced that she needed to go see Mickey Mike while I went to go see Ted. Now you fucked it all up. “See there’s going to be boobies” she tells me. Dammit – I can argue with that logic.
LOL. It’s not bad Captain Kirk you may like it. Welcome to the blog brother.
I saw the some things for Ted online and I thought it was a joke about the Snuggle fabric softener teddy bear….
That was so funny, as usual. I loved how you felt the need to cheer during the nude girl scenes. It reminds me of when I saw 40 Days and 40 Nights with my Payroll Department-all women. When the scene came up where he was dreaming that he was swimming through a field of titties all the girls turned and looked at me. I just shrugged and said, “That’s what we think about.”. It should be blow job night for you.
LOL. It should have been blow job night but it wasn’t.
RM – Scott wanted me to let you know that he posted a comment to you but is says “waiting for moderation”. Thank you
I got it, he won’t go to moderation anymore.
Thank you
First of all, thanks Pat for letting me know the new post was up–I’m registered RM, but still not getting a message when you post, and I LOVE your post! Was just talking to my husband tonight about wanting to see this, but NOT by myself, and I know he won’t go. I may have to hunt for some girlfriends…And Matthew Mcwhatthefuck has always creeped me out, and I haven’t got a clue what Channing Tatum is like, but have read the background on the film and know he was a stripper for about a year.
Years ago when I was in college, we used to hang out at a strip club called “The Klassic Kat” in Modesto, CA. I remember there was one skinny stripper with these HUGE tits–long before breast enlargements–and she wore tassels on her nipples and could get those suckers spinning so fast it was hypnotic.
Amazing, the things that make an impression!
Kate, haha, if you were in SC you could come see it with us
,
It is so hot here, but not looking forward to exchanging hot and dripping for layers and cold windy weather in 2 weeks
Kate you can still come with us, we are going next week sometime.
Thanks, Alix, but I’ve had time to think this through and will probably wait for the DVD. I want my husband to see it with me, and he can’t go to theaters because of allergy issues. We ALWAYS get someone next to us wearing perfume. Never fails, and then he can’t breathe and we have to leave. But thank you for thinking of me!
LOL I am still trying to fix your notification thing. I will say this about strippers – some of them are very creative.
The girls these days aren’t talented enough to do the tassle dance:)
Okay, I think we have firmly established that Channing Tatum used to be a stripper before he got into movies, and he has a sweet ass.
Either of these reasons would be enough to see this movie. RMs version? Hilarious! Go Lexie – you are my hero! LOL!
My husband said he’s coming with me to watch it so i won’t go alone. He’ll love the f/f action. So, is the walking in on the friend having sex bit in the movie?
Yes Lucie it is
Its a pity i am so late to this post because i am the leader of the group Whatthe fuckdoesanyoneseeonMattewMcwhatthefuckever…. Have never liked him and his accent drives me crazy- cannot stand it!! He would normally put me off a movie but i am hoping this time around the other guys make up for him.
So the lead actress can’t act. Does she have nice tits at least?
Her tits are fine and she is pretty but she is not a good actress.
In her defense, I don’t think there were any Oscar caliber performances in that movie
.
No none at all
Hi Luci!! That accent is southern, possibly out of Texas. Fairly common to me actually. I find Matthew sexy. Not calling him a hunk (that is Channing Tatum) but I like his charisma. What else can I say? So good that people like different things, or life would be really boring.
Well after LOL while half awake i gotta say the Damn Movie aint even out here yet and You know What, i dont think i’l Bother . As for Mathew McWatsitspeltlike i must be in the Minority Cos i think he is Bloody Georgeous . What can i say Daft Brit ,xx
It’s not out in NZ either, but now I know Joe M is in it, I may have to go
Hi Sheri….are you in NZ? My memory sucks…which can be nice when it’s a pleasant surprise or rereading a good book, but otherwise not so hot.
I’m in SC where it is scorching hot and humid, but back to NZ mid month…
I was wondering where you have been.
lol Yep, I’m in the North Island and we’re freezing our asses off here! Enjoy the hot weather while you can, MJ, though humid can be pretty sucky as well.
Reading over last nights posts… I went to a strip club with friends YEARS ago. If it was your birthday, they would hold a cake between their legs so the birthday girl had to blow it out
. Plus, if you raised your hand they came over and rubbed all over you, I sat on my hands!!! The worst though, after the show, they threw open the doors, and all these (??? ) Men came in thinking they were going to get REALLLLY lucky! It was gross, and the guys were not hot! Good Morning all!!! 
Yeah strippers don’t work for me either
Pat– I have never been to a strip club, but I have to say I think I would have the same reaction. There is just something about desperation in ass-less chaps that doesn’t work for me
.
It’s the same with porn. You are watching people that have completely sold out. They have sunk to the lowest common denominator.
Pat-
So the guys who claimed that were full of shit? Figured, guys don’t just lie to their mates, they lie to each other, too…a-holes *lol*
Manbug and friends were supposed to go skydiving for his bachelor party, but the weather conditions wouldn’t cooperate so they went to a strip club instead (even exchange, right?). His friends bought him a lap dance and the strippers put him on stage in a chair and handcuffed his hands behind his back. Then at some point during the lap dance, they wrote on chest and back with Sharpies! They didn’t even write sexy stuff. One of them wrote “colby cheese” on his back. I don’t know if it was a case of the girls thinking “What the hell? I have to be here anyway. I might as well write my favorite dairy product on this poor guy’s back.” It took forever to get all of that off his skin. I think that was his last trip to the strip club
.
Colby Cheese? WTF? That is hysterical. I went to a strip club once where for $100 they would take you into the back and blow you.
It has been almost 13 years and I still don’t understand the colby cheese thing. They were Tennessee strippers. Does that explain it?
I hope you only know that because of the posted price list or rumors floating around that establishment
That does explain it. The strip club I am talking about was in Millington, TN. It was called Danny’s.
Was it worth the $100?
Yes
I am kidding I never went to the back room.
At the top end strip clubs 100 bucks would get you a drink and prob some change if you were lucky…..with the girls, they would do a 68, take your money and say they owe you one *lol*
Uh oh, thats one I don’t know. And this is the place to ask all the things your mother didn’t tell you. What is a ’68′?
You know what the 69 position is right? Well, 68 is you do me and I owe you one. 68 + 1 = 69
That’s not a strip club, RM. That’s a whorehouse.
My husbands friends took him to strip club too for his bachelor party. He snuck out and called me to come and pick him up. They are so not his thing.
Me either. When I was young and in the Navy we did it a lot because there wasn’t much else to do. The last time I was at a strip club was 5 years ago but it was for a business meeting and I wanted to leave so bad. It’s hard to focus on business when a girl is shoving her tits in your face.
a business meeting?
Yeah, long story but it was a business meeting.
Think about it…. What head does a man think with?
I meant it more like how much business could be done with the wagging of the parts in their faces
I meant the same thing. To distracted to talk business
Oh, you would be surprised the amount of business that goes on in such places and it isn’t just ‘goodfellas’…investment bankers and other ‘high end types’ often will ‘seal the deal’ in such places, and I know of taking potential clients out to the high end strip clubs and having 15 or 20 grand in bills (that get expensed, folks).
You deal with the oil and gas company guys (put it this way, houston and dallas and places in Oklahoma, heart of both the oil and gas industry and the bible belt, have more strip bars per capita then NYC, and houston and dallas have more, period…)
njbill- is it because its like an ‘all men’s club’? and men like to do business in that environment?
LG-
Partly that and partly that a lot of businessmen expect that kind of entertainment when being wined and dined. With the oil and gas guys, even though you are talking high end executives who drive very expensive cars, wear suits I couldn’t afford the dry cleaning on and so forth, yet they still have the wildcat mentality of the guys who used to roughneck in the oil fields.
In some cases I wouldn’t be surprised if it also was a way to ‘muscle aside’ women, it is like all male country clubs. A lot of deals happen outside meeting rooms and board rooms, and that is a classic way to keep women out. Plus when you are dealing with investment banker types, many of them in my experience have a maturity level that leaves something to be desired…..
I couldn’t have picked up Manbug even if he had called me. I was having my own bachelorette party. I was forced to wear a shirt that had lollipops taped all over the front and back with “Suck for a buck” written on it. All of the drinks consumed had a sex theme. Plus I almost got into a fight with the semi-pro ice hockey player with the most penalty minutes in the league for asking if his girlfriend “the titty ho” (in my defense I didn’t give her the nickname, I simply used it) was there. She and I went to college together and had the same major so I legitimately wanted to know if she was there so I could say hi. I just didn’t phrase it well. I also spilled his beer all over him and then proceeded to yell at him for getting beer all over me. Yep– one of my finer nights
.
It sounds like Ginger was at the party.
You left out the part where you made a baseball player cry by telling him in detail why he would never make it in the majors.
Dude that is hysterical, you have to tell that story.
Ok…wait….who is Zombie Killer??? A lot of people know a LOT about you Ladybug!
That is Ladybugs husband. we call him Manbug.
I’m the best friend not the husband. No penis, remember?
Prior to Ladybug making the “titty ho” comment we were approached by a college baseball player trying to impress us with his bright future as a pro player. Ladybug quizzed him on his position (pitcher I believe) and level of prowess only to crush him by telling him he would never make and exactly why. I honestly believe he shed a few tears. I’m sure the only reason we made it out of that bar alive was because our designated driver/bodyguard has a blackbelt in both judo and jujitsu. Good times.
That’s right I’m sorry I gave you a penis. I hope you at least enjoyed it while you had it. Zombie Killer = best friend who MIl wanted son to marry. That story is funny I have to ask LB exactly what she said.
Pat– as you can tell I really keep a lot inside and don’t share with others
. There are 3 people in this world that I trust to read this blog and appreciate it for its unparalleled awesomeness. And those 3 people know a lot of my dirty laundry and escapades. One of them in particular (I am not naming names but her initials might be ZK 
) was a party to most of my escapades. We live about 700 miles apart now so it is harder to get in trouble these days, but we’re still giving it our best effort 
.
I have read thru everything and you know, now I am not feeling the need to go to the movie…spending $7.50 to go in the door and $$ on the drinks I would get at the cinema pub. I could hear the rowdies when we saw Mad 3 last night with the kiddos.
Now RM – there would be no Man Hug if you walked in on the Hubs and me being hot and heavy…Even if you had on your cape you would have one fewer hand and he would lose…you get the idea
hehe
Yeah i wouldn’t let someone feel my wife’s tits either
Thanks for the review. I may be able to get hubby go with me now. I never felt bad for strippers until I was the only sober woman at a bachleorate party. I’m not really into touching people that I don’t know (especially if they are covered in oil & cologne). I handed the guys a dollar each and said thank you while laughing at my drunks friends who had no problem dancing with and touching them. One of the Strippers came up and asked me why I wasn’t “into him” and tried to get me to dance with him. I never realized that men could be that insecure and needy. It was sad.
Believe me men are very insecure and needy – even strippers apparently
I didn’t hava a bachelorette party, and I think I’m glad!!!
Bill had a bachelor party thrown by his army buddies( all just back from Vietnam Nam) and fixed him a mickey! Man was he sick, and we were supposed to be leaving the next day for Ct, for the wedding. Not a good day…LOL
So everyone who has bought Selena’s book??? Read it! It’s is absolutely hysterical, with HOT scenes. I almost fell off the couch this morning laughing so hard. RM, you and Lexie have to read it, but you can’t have my copy back!
I am going to read it next. And I need you to write a review on it.
I have to finish it first!! I keep having to run to the BR to prevent peeing my panties!!! Not to mention if I keep reading it all day, hubs is going to be soooo lucky!!
Please, I have to take three exams this weekend, and I need to study. But all I want is to read Mrs. Knox’s book and Mrs.Robbins’ book. I might read the books and say I did it for practice. Magic Mike is not on here yet, but I’m not so eager to watch it.
Easy solution, get a soft toilet seat and read it there….no interruptions taking a pea break and besides, br’s are the best reading room because no one is going to bother you in there….
Pat, you sure know how to make a writer blush, and it’s real hard to make me blush. Thanks so much.
RM I hope you and Lexie enjoy the read.
Can we post links here? If not, sorry….. There is a lot of talk about Channing Tatem stripping in his earlier life…… here is a picture:
http://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/2012/02/01/magic-mike-star-channing-tatum-sez-stripping-is-such-an-ugly-word/
I am towards the end of the historical i am reading and will read Selena’s book next. Looking forward to it.
Strippers were very popular here till a few years ago. Now the in thing is to go away with your friends for a weekend – you know, like ot Holland, Barcellona or wherever. Comes to a bomb and i am positive that strip clubs are not only visited for the scenery. I do not put much stock in the power to resist temptation of today’s youths.
My husband didn’t want strippers for his bachelor’s party but he has been to many with strippers. At one the strippers were transvestites. Me, I went to one Hen’s party with a stripper and saw enough to last me a lifetime. I was the only sober one left (didn’t drink any spirits at that time) and couldn’t even get myself to scream in faked ecstasy when he was left with only a crocodile thong covering his dick. Plus it was a small dick (when he finally chucked crocky) – nothing to get excited over. I said in another post i am uncomfortable with people i don’t know touching me so this made me uncomfortable too. That is not to say i wouldn’t be open to go to a kinky club, but with my husband. Cannot explain it but wouldn’t be comfortable with a group of girl friends.
Luci…a club in Barcelona??? I don’t care what the do, I want to go!!!!
We can meet there and go together Pat
. We went to a cool club in Amsterdam a few years back – Supper Club – cool but weird.
Lucie– I am like that, too. I really have personal space issues and don’t like to be touched by anyone to whom I have not given birth or legally wed. I have promised to make hugging exceptions at the RM/BBL international convention. I may need to pre-medicate, but you guys are worth it
.
LB, while we may not all be wearing bras, we will indeed be wearing more than a g-string.
And anyway, when women hug and do that high pitched squeal and rock back and forth, the molecules are prevented from actually coming into contact with each other, so you will not really be touching anyone. Where is my scientific evidence? I don’t need any. Karen told me this so it must be true.
Ow! Don’t hit so hard! I know I shouldn’t have said it but I couldn’t help it. Mary Ann was in control.
I love it, Mary Ann – perfect.
Diane– LMAO. I just spit water everywhere! You are the funniest virtual chick I know
. I love Mary Ann! That girl is a keeper 
.
Note to self: practice high pitched squeal and rocking back and forth (that shouldn’t make anyone nervous
).
you are fuckin’ hilarious! I am so glad I know you
LOL, very funny! Going to see it next week when it comes out in the UK. I once went to Thunder from Downunder (chippendale equivalent from Australia) in Vegas with a couple of friends…. I didn’t really like it. The guys seem to be bored and just going through their ‘routine’. They also traipsed around on our tables and sticking their crotches in your face. I was more embarrassed and waiting for it to be over. (although one of’em did say he liked my top
while said crotch was in my face LOL
That’s funny.
Great review, RM. I went to see it on opening night with two friends. We had a blast. It reminded me of the movie Boogie Nights, only with guys who were actually in my age bracket tarzan guy notwithstanding.
When it started we all screamed like we had dollar bills and it was our 21st birthday. SO. MUCH. FUN.
On another note, I saw moves that we do in Zumba class. My instructor used to teach in Miami….
Yeah the women in theater were going nuts
Whoops, had already commented (again) when you tweeted. Sorry.
You and Lexie should watch Boogie Nights. Mark Walhberg (marky mark) is the main character.
I saw it and I liked it
Ok, let me get this straight….Ladybug is married to Oval , we have two baby bugs , doodlebug is LB sister, and Zombie killer is the friend. do I have that right? My brain hurts. You must be giving family rates RM.
Happy to meet you all, bugs, ovals, and zombies…. Sigh..
Lol Pat love your comment! You forgot to mention that Oval was previously known as Dryhump. There is a Zombie Killer?? Where is she/he?
I feel as if i live on the sidelines here. Night all!
WOW, Pat! Your memory is incredible. Do you take ginko biloba?
You have it right and I am amazed because I don’t even think I realized how confusing it was until I read that.
Zombie Killer is LB’s best friend who introduced LB and Manbug/Oval almost 16 years ago and thus started all of this bug craziness
.
And, Lucie, you also get a prize because thankfully Dryhump did change his name to something better (Oval). We promise no more name changes and that’s all of the bugs because I really don’t see my mom joining these conversations
.
Good night, Lucie. Sweet Dreams!
Thanks ladybug….I can never remember where I put my keys….but for some reason, some things stick in my brain. Which blocks out all the other stuff!
Scout knows all and sees all. I am convinced it is Pat who is The Ghost in Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series.
Is that a good thing??
I can honestly say I didn’t strip to pay my nursing school tuition. Besides…..Catholic Guilt~~~ I would have had to say a LOT of Hail Mary’s!!!
The Hail Mary’s could have been part of your act.
Yes, it’s a good thing.
Diane, I think you’re right!
LOL This thread is hysterical.
Pat, do you still have your Catholic girl’s uniform. I think I have mine somewhere in a box. A group of us posted our high school pictures on FB one day. OMG, a lot of the males were going crazy, seeing us in our uniforms. LOL
LOL RM, that would be an interesting show, Pussy Cat Dolls in nun’s uniform, gyrating to Hail Mary. (I’m going to Hell aren’t I?) LOL
I’m going to my H.S. reunion next month, I’m thinking of bringing a few of the nuns that taught me a copy of my book. They’ll be so proud. LOL
Great post, RM! I, along with two of my friends, went to see Magic Mike on opening night. We had a blast cheering and screaming like we had just turned 21 and wanted to stuff some g-strings with dollar bills.
The movie actually reminded me of Boogie Nights, only the guys in this one are in my age bracket-Tarzan dude notwithstanding.
Hah! Another great story by RomanceMan.
Asking LB exactly what she said and getting an answer would require LB remembering the entire night and that isn’t the case. I have no idea what I said to him. I do, however, remember sitting by one of the players for our university’s hockey team (remember– we are from Alabama and went to college there. Yep– ice hockey in AL– we imported the players
) and squeezing his bicep in what I considered a completely stealth manner. I also remember changing someone’s boyfriend’s name and screaming it to the whole place. I remember thinking I was a pool shark (not the case 
). I remember talking a lot of smack. Thankfully, our bodyguard/designated driver took care of us and we survived. I like the idea of blaming all of this on Ginger. That girl could get in some trouble 
.
“So what movie are you going to?” My 69yr old mother asked after I told her I had to cut our lunch short on Friday. I looked her straight in the eye and said “Prometheus”. After Channing’s first butt shot, one friend dropped her 50oz Coke, the other started with the purring sounds that lasted the duration of the film. So when the movie ended and we helped my friend unstick her flipflops off the floor, we went home. My husband asked how the movie was. I told him Channing really can dance, Joe must do hourly ab workouts and eat only eggs and chicken, the CSI guy should stick with CSI. I still don’t know who Steve Nash is but it’s spooky how much he looks like Mickey Rourke. and Kudos to Matt, even with his crazy eyes and Mrs. Beesley haircut his ass is holding up remarkably well. My husband rolled his eyes and went out to mow the lawn. I changed clothes, hopped back in my car and headed to my Zumba class where I can pretend I too can dance worth a shit.
Heidi–LOL I think you win the prize for the best review I have seen. I am so happy to hear that someone else thought Steve Nash looked like Mickey Rourke. I couldn’t get past that thought through the whole movie
.
Steve Nash is a basketball player and doesn’t look like Micky Rourke.
mickey rourke was so handsome and he ruined his face. total shame
I hear you Trudy. He was soo hot in 9 and 1/2 weeks then he slid off the rails. Still a good actor though.
Oops — Sorry, RM, it’s KEVIN Nash. I don’t know who Steve Nash is. I may rock at Chuck E. Cheese basketball, but I never watch college or NBA basketball.
LOL! You’re right RM I meant Kevin Nash. (Tarzan) As you can probably tell, I don’t watch basketball.
Kevin Nash is a former WWE wrestler. He still shows up occasionally. (I have an 8 year old son, I know more about wrestling than I should).
I know what you mean Kim B. It’s all about Football at my house.
Thanks Ladybug! I Know I should know that guy from somewhere I just don’t know where.
IMDB said that he was/is a WWE wrestler. One of his aliases is The Sexecutioner. LOL
LOL Thanks Ladybug. Now that you say that he does look like a wrestler. Mystery solved. I’ll leave Steve Nash alone and let him go back to playing basketball. And the Sexecutioner can go back to Sexecutioning.
LOL Heidi!
Thanks Selena
I look at strippers, male and female, as exotic dancers. I love to watch dancing, I love the way the human body movies. (I do watch So You Think You Can Dance). So it depends on the talent of the dancer whether the stripper is any good. A bored stripper creates boredom in the whole show, and that would be boring
Nakedness doesn’t bother me either. I love to be in situations that are awkward to most people, and be able to act completely nonchalant, like its no big deal. I’m not an ogle-er.
LG, I love dancing as well, grew up in a family of musicians. Took Highland Dancing (yeah, an Italian little girl highland dancing…long story) and I also like So You think You can Dance, although, the past few seasons it should be named, so you think you can have sex on stage. I don’t some of those choreographed numbers.
Nakedness doesn’t bother me either, however, strippers and what really goes on behind the scenes is a whole other ball game. Most of them are so high on drugs, it surprises me that they can actually perform. It’s a dangerous life for a lot of them, sadly.
I have a friend that went to strip clubs in Denver for awhile, and he got to know the girls who worked there. He said alot of them are college kids working their way through school and just doing it for the money.
Yup, they are all back in the dressing room studying for their chemistry exam.
maybe not chemistry, how about basket weaving? or psychology? or some less difficult major than pre-med!!??
Although I am sure there are pre-med students who are stripping to pay those tuition fees.
LG, there probably are a very few but that cliche has been around so long, I think every woman that ever went to college stripped to pay her tuition, except for you and me. But come to think of it, you never did tell us how you paid for Vet school and you do live in Vegas. Hmmm.
LG IS A STRIPPER, LG IS A STRIPPER, LG IS A STRIPPER!
I’m speechless. i don’t even have a comeback.
Tell him that you are an exotic dancer, not merely a stripper.
LOL! I didn’t know anyone who stripped in University, but I was suspicious of a few professors.
RomanceMan, I am an Exotic Dancer, not a stripper.
HA! That felt wonderful, even if it wasn’t true. I so wish I could really dance.
I don’t know, LG. I have a feeling you’d be a great exotic dancer, better than RM, I’m thinking.
thanks so sweet of you to say that
I have no idea why, but thanks 
I am an exotic dancer, too……I have two left feet, trip over my and the person I am dancing with’s feet, have no sense of rhythm or motion, and when people ask me what the hell I was doing on the dance floor, I tell them I am into Exotic dancing…..
So I left this alone yesterday hoping someone would slap RM down with it:
“I really felt the need to certify my heterosexual credentials.”
But no one did unless I missed the post (and I apologize if I did), and it is just too easy, but RM, What hetero cred?
Well Diane, thats because its Mary-ann’s job to do the smacking. Duhhhh.
LOL, but she and I don’t want to be greedy. Have to give other people a chance too!
guess that one just went whizzing over my head
Just that I’m not gay Diane – not that there is anything wrong with that.
I loved Matthew McC. in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days – that was a great writer’s movie. I love Channing. I want to have amnesia with him.
What does that mean?
LOL! Good one, Trudy.
RM she’s talking about the movie THE VOW. Where Channing plays a husband whose wife gets amnesia and can’t remember that Channing is her husband.
It’s based on a real life story.
rm, the Vow is a movie you and Lexie need to watch together, esp if you’re in the doghouse.
Sounds like a chick flick. Maybe I will surprise her with it. Brownie points and all that.
Wife with amnesia? That must be interesting, since she doesn’t know he is her husband, does that mean he is cheating on his wife with his wife? Is she guilty of cheating on him since (presumably) she would sleep with a guy not her husband?
On the other hand, my wife has cheated on me plenty of times and I have cheated on my wife with my wife….ya know, all those times when she is exasperated at me and when we are in public and someone asks her who I am, am I her husband, and she says “nope, not my husband, never saw him before”…..
bill, you’d best watch the Vow with your…mistress or whomever
LOL Bill. It’s in the wife’s rule book that we deny who our hubbies are at times.
The best amnesia movie is Overboard with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. I love that movie!
I love that movie too.
I like the bourne movies, because he has amnesia but then kicks the shit out of everyone……
LOL crazygranny. Overboard is a classic.
YOU ARE SO FREAKING FUNNY, I LOVE YOUR POSTS!!!!
Thanks Mary!
Hey everyone!
I am heading out to spend some quality family time with my Mom for the 4th! Have a great Holiday those of you in the US! Talk to you all when I get back!
I dunno if someone has filled you in just yet. I didn’t read through the 200 comments (give or take a few lol) but the lead role is Channing Tatum. He was in “Step Up” and your right, he can dance. *sigh* I’m glad you shared your experience. As always your posts make me chuckle. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie sometime this week while the kiddos are with their father figure. Have a great 4th. #peace
Thanks Tyhada. Yeah I wish I could dance like that, and look like that, and be rich like that.
Loved it! Going out tomorrow and buying the hubby some new sweats, a red thong, and some hip hop lessons…
Well ladies, my mom thinks Joe Magliono is cute. .Soooo… I was looking on my pinterest board to show her the pics of Joe, and she says to me,” what in the hell are all those pictures for??” I said, to look at. So she took my ipad and sat there looking at all the pictures!! I have got to say I really didn’t think she would want to see all that. She just couldn’t believe some guys dicks were that big! Lol. She kept saying that has to be fake. Some of her comments had me rolling. then my dad asks me to find him some women to look at! So I said ok, and he looks at me and says, I was joking I wanted you to ask me who, so I could say Brad Pitt! also, I was sitting between them on the couch and he kept trying to see what we were looking at. All this because I asked her if she wanted to go see Magic Mike.
Hysterical! To picture you with your mom and dad looking at nude male photos – priceless!
Funny!
I shared a picture of a man hanging by his penis with my dad. It was all D. Dye’s fault, btw.
Yup, the wince was there as he could not understand why a guy would do that.
Your mum rocks!
Morning Luci!!!!!
Morning Pat!
Your parents are way cooler than mine. One of mine would have just burst into flames at the suggestion.
Same here ladybug my parents
still watch I love Lucy reruns
That is too freakin funny! LOL Your parents rock.
RM? I’ve changed my email address for this site to see if that might work better for getting the notices of new posts. Will let you know.Sometimes my “domain mail” addy doesn’t go through as well.
G’night, all. I’m walking away from the computer.
My tech guy is still trying to figure this out
How do you explain to a 7yr old boy, who was the first human? That was his question to me on the way to his great grammas house. He says, I think it has to be a woman because she has the babies.
I tried to explain evolution and the religious way ( don’t remember what its called). Trying to explain we evolved from apes was interesting. Then try and explain god…
This kid is a thinker and way to smart for his britches.
He’s like my older daughter. She has been asking difficult questions since she was 5. I tried to explain that a theory is a possible explanation but she refuses to have anything in common with apes. I thought that talking about where the babies came from was going to be uncomfortable but it was not. She’s able to ask more uncomfortable questions.
Just ignore them, it works
Yah, right. They just keep asking til you give them an answer.
My daughter asked ‘who is God’ when she was five. That’s the hardest question to answer. I hate giving cryptic answers or even vague religious ones but since the reply to this question is an issue of faith there isnt a completely satisfactory answer you can give. I had to explain the we cannot see God etc etc but that she would understand better when she grew older.
My little girl didn’t have problems with the concept of God. She asked why God invented moms if they don’t let their kids do anything?. And why, if we were going to have three kids, didn’t have her the first, so she would be spared the big brother?
LOL, Grettel. My 4-year-old asked (while sitting right beside her 8-year-old brother) why she couldn’t be an only child. I told her that wasn’t nice, blah, blah, blah. And she responded, “Yeah, mommy, but we both know it would be better if I didn’t have to share everything.”
I think the only reason I find her to be such a challenge is because she is just like Ginger
.
Maybe she’s like my alter ego too. I used to be a really good girl (my mom says), my dark side could be anywhere, lurking…
Did I get right,is Ginger your alter ego?
Yes and she can be quite bitchy
You did get it right, Grettel. What is your dark side’s name? You have to give her a good name that reflects her personality
.
Thank you, RM. You are such a sweet talker
.
Well, I don’t know her name yet. I’m sure she’ll let me know her name, eventually.
I like Ginger she doesn’t fuck around. I dig chicks like that.
Definitely a woman, if it was a man we likely would have died off…….would likely get lost someplace and eaten by something because he wouldn’t ask directions, would starve to death because it would be 6 million years until the creation of take out restaurants, die of sepsis because he couldn’t clean the place where he took a dump and when the first woman showed up would probably either be to shy to go up to her or would make such an ass out of himself she would rather be with an orangutang.
Mr. Njbill: are you trying to get some points?
I am seriously having difficulties keeping up with all the replies!! does anybody have a system they would like to share????
I keep track of how many comments, then I scroll down to recent posts and click on 1. It takes you to that comment. Then I go back to fecent posts or just scroll down the comments and look at the times
Recent posts. Geez, I can’t type this morning
thanks crazygranny! I’ll try that. After I get a few more hours of sleep this morning, that is
Its exhausting keeping up with this new format but fun at the same time
I’m still trying to get used to navigating my way around it, and not only love reading the blog but also the comments.
Geez you women are never satisified. On the last blog everyone complained about not being able to respond directly to other people so I spent months transferring to wordpress and now you are complaining it is too complicated. Women are impossible to please sometimes
But that does not mean you should stop trying. Please continue to cater to our every whim. I’d like a Tanqueray and tonic and some mango and papaya. By the pool is fine.
Ok go wait by the pool. I’ll be there shortly.
Oh, awesome. And don’t forget the slice of lime for the drink. And if you could make a sort of papaya boat and put fresh berries in it and then arrange the mango around it, that would be just perfect. You know these pool towels are a little rough and I have very delicate skin. Could you run them through the wash again with some fabric softener? Thanks, you’re the greatest. I’ll just be waiting here under this umbrella.
Romanceman, baby, I mentioned when you were on R&R that following the replies was a challenge for me. And I’m not complaining, I just asked for help doing it, because unlike a man, I can ask for directions.
LOL good one LG
It’s in the woman manual……we have to be complicated, difficult and complain……a lot…..
My husband went with me on the condition that I buy the tickets. He said there was no way he was going to go up and ask for 2 tickets to Magic Mike! I’d like to say that hubby was being nice, but I think he was hoping he’d reap the benefits of me watching men strip.
When my son found out that his father had gone to see the movie, I could actually hear his eyes roll over the phone as he said, man, dad, you are totally whipped!
LOL I wish I would have thought of that for the tickets.
OMG YOU ARE SO FUNNY. I AM GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW…PLUS I WILL LAUGH WHEN I SEE BOOBS THINKIN YOU SCREAMING OUT. You should come on our podcast seriously…people love your blog.
I would like to be on your podcast and will but right now things are a little crazy in my life so I need a little time. I will be doing a podcast also – but not for a while.

Although I’ve never been to a strip club male or female, I have interviewed a stripper and two hookers. (All in the name of research). I took them out for lunch. My husband tells people, he’s the only guy that shelled out money for a stripper and a hooker and never laid eyes on them. LOL
I thought I was going to get the stereotypical stories of why they are in the business, etc. It wasn’t like that at all, it actually made me sad and the thing that shocked me was their ages. I thought they were in their 30′s, early 40′s, but they were barely out of their teens. Nothing I said to them would make them change their lifestyle. They were forthcoming with information and open about their lives.
I often think about them and hope they’re healthy and that they somehow have moved on to a less dangerous occupation. (I know, those pink glasses of mine are always on.)
Selena, thank you. I get upset when people trot out that cliche about they are all just working their way through college to validate the fact that they are paying someone for sex and that this person is not truly a victim. While a strip club will state that there is to be no prostitution, we all know what happens in the back rooms. Instead of having to walk the street, their “johns” let them work inside a club. Plus the drug use and abuse is rampant. And the fact that so many of them were sexually abused as children. OK, off my soapbox about the sex industry.
On a lighter note: I finished What a Girl Wants last night. OMG, people, run, don’t walk, and buy this book! It was fabulous. This book belongs in your beach bag this summer. The perfect summer read! Good job, Selena!
I second that emotion!!!
Hey, Diane, some day we’ll have to discuss this a little further. I wanted to bring those girls home, clean them up, feed them and lock them somewhere away from that lifestyle. But I know that was my rose colored glasses talking to me.
Thanks for mentioning my book, I’m so HAPPY you enjoyed it.
It must have been so frustrating to look into the eyes of someone so young and see that they were already numb.
And I visited Hawaii alomost 3 years ago and your book was killing me, in a good way!
Geez my fellow BBLs are demanding! Besides hugging i also have to learn how to squeal? Maybe if you were all mice it would come easier
, that or Gabriel Garko lookalikes 
Seriously, Lucie. You and I have a lot of work to do between now and the convention
. By the way– I checked the blog on my phone the other day and my keyboard is tiny so typing comments on there is nearly impossible. So I was telling my husband that I need to remember to wish you a happy birthday when we got home and mentioned the time difference. He asked where you are and I told him Malta. My dad overheard us and told me all about his stop in Malta when he was in the Navy. He was very impressed with it and talked about wanting to go back someday. I loved hearing him describe his short time visiting there.
See Lucie and you didn’t believe me when I told you my Navy story about Malta.
What was your Navy story about Malta? That you stopped there?
Yes and Lucie didn’t believe me because she said no one ever stops in Malta.
My dad did in 1968 or 69. He loved it.
Oooh LB i have a huge smile on my face. Love it when people talk well about our little island
.
Actually RM, you said you hadn’t stopped in Malta. You were counting on my hopeless memory right?
Shit Lucie I think your right we were talking about Sicily I think. Sorry. I guess I’m the one with the hopeless memory.
Heads up, everyone! I would like to suggest that the official RM/BBL convention t-shirts be MAUVE
You are too fucking funny!
Damn, what did I miss again??? Why Mauve?
Because Muave makes me cry.
Do you even know what color that is?
Yes it’s muave
And the spelling is M U A V E. Maybe you are crying because you can’t spell!
Isn’t that exactly how I spelled it?
My husband says such colors as mauve don’t exist. He says women named those colors with fancy names, but they are the same colors with other names. He can be so inconsequential.
MAUVE IS M A U V E. Look it up! I did
RM, why does it make you cry??
how did she know that?
Because I told her
Take your edit button and shove it so far up…….
Don’t blame me for your poor spelling. You went to an Ivy League school. I went to high school.
Very funny fish boy. Just remember this. I don’t have access to your edit button but still my bitch witch powers managed to screw with your blog that day. I don’t need to resort to your tricks.
Lucie– I wonder if it would be difficult to find super hot shoes to go with a mauve shirt? Mauve isn’t a great color to begin with so it would be necessary to wear some awesome shoes. Are you in charge of shoe selection?
Yep, shoe selection – that’s my job! Although I am not a fan of mauve either we will find something def.
Love the new shoe picture! You are definitely on shoe selection
.
Lucie, love those shoes on your avatar.
Grettel, not to start up the whole male/female brain brawl again, but studies have shown that females tend to see more colors than males. So while men may truly not see any difference between mauve and lilac, for instance, they need to understand that women do.
Did you see that study today? Some women have this gene that allows them to see 100 million colors but it is only in women not men
That is so they can tell if their mate is lying, they need to see the subtle changes in skin color to determine if they are lying or not.
I’m sure that’s.
See you lost me at subtle. My husband sucks so bad at lying that I don’t need to look for subtleties. But he keeps trying.
“Did you finish loading the dishwasher?”
“Yeah almost but I had to stop because my sinuses are bothering me and I couldn’t bend over.”
Riiiight.
Diane– LOL. That’s awesome! Do you think your husband would like to compete against RM and Manbug in the chore avoidance competition ?
Manbug’s classic answer is “See? I would have but this thing happened.” He doesn’t even really bother making anything up. And now I know that he is suddenly jumps up and takes another shower less than 2 hours after the first one that he is trying to avoid something. Thanks for the heads-up, RM
.
How do you feel about “gillyflower”? Mauve isn’t on that chart I posted so we need an equally emotional alternative color
.
Eggplant and plum might be close to the mauve he hates too.
Gillyflower makes me sad but doesn’t make me cry
Mint makes me feel the same way
.
Mint makes me think if pot.
Mint makes you think IF pot. If pot what? If pot was mint, you would be rich? And not that I would know, but I have been told that it is oregano that looks like pot. Not all herbs look like herb!
Is it weird that I don’t even catch the typos anymore? I am usually a stickler for that sort of thing, but I am losing my touch. I had about 15 in a comment I made a few minutes ago.
Mint seems like a non-committal color to me. It is just so light. Come on already! Just darken up and really be green!
Why not, Diane? That’s a classic
. I just posted a picture RM’s facebook page about men and women and color differences.
OMG!! Petroleum?? What colour is that – sounds and looks horrible!
I have never heard of a color named petroleum either. There are some weird ones on there.
Chlorophyll – sounds deadly
I have never seen some of those words used for colors. And what is “torquoise” ?
Ok, got behind on the conversation again
sorry. RM, why does Mauve make you cry??
Because he is a sissy boy who likes to go on blogs and change things people wrote. And make it look like they can’t spell.
OH Diane,!!! did he do that to that spelling post of you rs???
LMAO
Oh, I’ve got to tell him. He will be happy to know he doesn’t need to make more excuses why he doesn’t understand the difference between colors.
Your comments about “size” reminded me about the tons of penis enhancement emails I get daily……and I’m just not in the market. Here’s a sample:
*Get bigger – grow and long and hard one today.
*Enlarge w/free sample – fantastic groiwth guaranteed.
*Get bigger with herbal remedies.
*Have the pecker of her dreams.
And MY personal favorite:
http://www.grossballs.com
So, does anyone else get harrassed with all this daily or is it just me???
why do you get these? aren’t you female? When I was a kid I would get ads for boys stuff (sci-fi magazines) but my name could be male/female.
i get these emails also unfortunately. Don’t you LG? Hmmm i thought everyone did, now i am worried lol. where did they see me and think i was a man?
Hey, Marilyn, I usually get emails asking me for my bank account because apparently, someone in nomansland trusts me enough to deposit 10 million dollars into my account. LOL
Maybe you get these because of the online sextoy stores you visit??
There’s a convention? Where do I sign up?
Sign up here, the time is still to be determined (we all want to but there are no plans
)
What happens at a convention, gets posted on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. LOL
I think we’ll all have to be in disguise…
We’re supposed to be anonymous!!
Rolly eyes, Pat! You’re my inspiration
The only people who can go are those who are trustworthy and will agree to complete anonymity!
LOL I’ll have to dig out my Wonder Woman costume.
Ok, people. I think it is pretty obvious that we are not going to be able to find a tee shirt color that we all can wear. Plus, we do have privacy concerns to take into account. I would like to suggest that we all wear those fake Groucho Marx glasses with mustache and nose and maybe for formal evening wear we have a replica of RM’s cape.
Are we wearing anything with the cape? Because the braless thing and just a cape will probably get us arrested regardless of the shoes that Lucie chooses.
The shoes I choose will be fuck-me shoes so the clothes you wear, or not, need to match those
I think thats a great idea. and you won’t get arrested in Vegas! get that double sticky tape for the cape to stick to your cleavage so your nipples don’t come out of the cape. oh, I guess we could wear tassles too. not sure if thats legal in public?!
Ummmm…..hate to ask this, but what if you don’t have any cleavage??? I guess I could get those invisible “push up” things?
LOL LG.
Hey, we were in Vegas this past February for a conference. I spent two days visiting the Mob Museum, the people there were so friendly.
I think we were the only couple there that didn’t gamble. I’d rather shop.
LG couldn’t follow the lines anymore. Turquoise is a cross between light blue and light green – beautiful colour. The sea is sometimes turquoise here.
I will go with Selena’s Wonder Woman costume, i hate moustaches. Cat woman will do too.
I love the color turquoise. Cat Woman and Wonder Woman, we shall take over the world!
Black heels for me, blue and red for you Selena!
Thanks, Lucie, I’ll take those red-heeled shoes any day.
Have a great evening!
Sigh……I guess I’ll have to dress in overalls and look like a little girl with a bowl cut for Scout!
I love the color turquoise, but they spelled it wrong on the chart. I wear turquoise and teal a lot. Maybe that would be a good t-shirt color. Could we find shoes to go with that? Oh wait– I forgot. Now the shoes need to go with Groucho Marx glasses and we need a second pair to match the superhero cape for the formal dinner. Lucie, you have your work cut out for you
.
Trawling for shoes is a dream job. Bring it on!
What chart? I can’t see a color chart here, but that’s okay, I’m usually confused when trying to keep up late in the day. LOL
Selena– I posted the chart on RM’s Facebook page.
Thanks, LadyBug, I’m on Facebook as well, and have pressed like on his fan page, but didn’t see the chart.
Selena– look on the far right side where it says Recent Posts
Thanks, Ladybug, will do.
UH OH. I’m Lady Godiva. Where’s my white horse?
No shoes for you LG, just a blonde long wig and a white horse.
Thats My Style
yep sounds perfect for you !
I love turquoise also. Maybe we should all get the Mardi Gras masks w/ the feathers and stuff.
Hooray – this could be bigger than ComicCon!!!!
Only thing is, RM will wear his disguise and we’ll never get to see what he really looks like (I like the muscle uniform, though *Sigh*)
He could be like Wilson the neighbour on Home Improvement. We can only see part of his face. Which will be a vast help.
Damn, I wish I didn’t have to work all day, I would rather hang out here.
Oh – I forgot to say that I read “About Last Night” by Ruthie Knox and it is simply wonderful – I read it straight through until 4AM and was wiping the tears away…..thanks RM for posting the review.
Night people! I hope i will be able to make heads or tails of what goes on here tonight, tomorrow morn
GOOD NIGHT
Night Luci!!!!! <3
