SO PLEASE.. FOR THE SAKE OF THE READER,, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO DONT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT EITHER CLUB,, WRITE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL NEXT TIME FULL OF ACTUAL FACTS INSTEAD OF "THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE" BULLSHIT..
Actually Fox’s Nite Life was the first strip club in town, Xcapedes was opened several years later as Mr. J’s. The former Owner of Xcapedes, Rhonda Lemons, deceased, worked at Fox’s Nite Life before going to Mr. J’s and later buying the business herself and changing the name to Xcapedes. Also, the sign at Fox’s did say 12 pretty girls and one ugly one.
I agree Ashvegas is informative and fun, Chad. It is also the only place you will ever get any kind of attention, since no one with even half a brain will spend any measurable time on that crap website of yours.
You say I should come to CarolinaStompers to take you on, but like I said, that would be a total waste of time and energy. In fact, registering might even be mistaken for some type of validation of your brand of Right Wing garbage.
So I searched your name on Topix and found nothing there.
The other place you suggested, MountainXpress, lists a couple of political items regarding your stepfather, but otherwise, the only other posts concern your run-ins with ALE over alleged involvement in illegal video poker machines. Nice. Is that your idea of community service?
You refer to my stupidity and I may very well be stupid. But not stacked-up next to you, your hateful/bitter Neo-cronies and let’s not forget your website– which makes FOX News and El Rushbo look like NPR.
Plus, what would you know about cool? I mean, the `70s & `80s called, and they want their Jheri Curl back. Happy New Year. Oh, by the way, it’s now 2009.
Dempol,
I like it over here at Ashvegas’s site. It’s informative and fun.
If you want to take me on come to Stompers, Mountain Xpress, Topix, or write an opinion editor of a paper. Believe me I love to take on stupidity like yours.
But not at Ash’s website. This is the coolest site around and your just not cool.
Chad Nesbitt
Boobs! (just trying to keep the mood light)
Not surprised that CarolinaStomper Chad Nesbitt is so well-informed when it comes to strip joints. In fact, his politics are exactly the same as "titty bars". They both pander to the lowest common denominator, objectify women and are just plain sleezy. Nesbitt’s homophobic/sexist joke about Asheville is indicative of his closed-mindedness and that of his political cronies. Their real handicaps are hate, ignorance and bigotry. Don’t believe me? Chad’s website speaks for itself. Someone please remind him the year is 2009, not 1909. Otherwise that West Buncombe County wrecking crew may feel safe and righteous in extolling the virtues of lynching, as a way to straighten-out urban social problems. They might be dangerous, if not for being such a blatantly whacked-out and ineffective political minority in this community.
Chad, you’re right – you gotta be careful around Ashvegas.
Miss Daisy, I think you’re right!
Go check it out Ash. I bet it will go a long way to overcoming the melancholy that’s pervaded your holiday season overall.
CG,
You must be talking about me. Don’t make fun of the handicap.
I majored in business admin. with a masters in partyology.
Dislexia has it’s faults. At least the words aren’t backwards.
Calm down CG. Have a drink and a lap dance.
How about politics night? Lol. Let the strippers decide.
Who tips more liberals or conservatives?
Hey Ash – When you go down there stay away from those 2 ugly ones they advertise. This is Asheville. They might be something else. Lol.
dude,
the first sentence of your second paragraph has the beginning of a dependant clause–indicated by the comma–which is then followed only by a parenthetical which is then closed by a period, thus effectively following a comma with a period. Were you a little overstimulated when you wrote this?

I think I found my naked news for the week. I can always count on you for the nude scoop, or nearly nude scoop as the case may be. I’m still working on the idea of being the first radio studio in town with a stripper pole. Maybe this will be my inspiration!
Chad, you are da man. Damn!
I could only read the first line of the club reviews without joining the web site, so I see that the club changed hands on Dec. 4. Reviewers say the club is spacious, the staff is friendly. I see that the average drink cost is $2.50, and that there are no shower dances. You can get a bikini lap dance or a topless lap dance. That’s about all I gleaned. Guess I’ll have to go to get the real scoop.
Lesley, there certainly SHOULD be a media personality night. Reporters need hugs, too. (or lap dances, as the case may be).
Celo, got it.

If Golden owns it he will bring in topless talent from Raleigh and Charlotte. His girls run on a circuit. Golden is the guy that gave bookoos of money to NC Speaker Jim Black on the video poker deals. He also ran an escort business in Raleigh. His clubs were called the Doll House and Treasure something or nother. Black was on some kind of Raleigh board that kept Club Vixen from moving in next to the Doll House. I had the owner of Club Vixen on my radio show at WISE. He talked about the politicos that Golden would set up with out of town escorts. Call Don Carington at John Lock, he also covered the story.
But this owner is probably a local from here. Bar business is hard.
Hope they run it clean and good luck to them.
Service industry night or "SIN" nights are late night events for bar and restaurant employees. At most places, you have to prove that you work in the service industry (pay stub, apron, large wad of dollar bills) , then you get a membership card and voila, weekly specials are yours for the taking. Sorry Ash, you don’t qualify. Maybe we could lobby for a media personalities night. Or maybe not!
Service industry nights are when other folks who work in the same business get discounts. Lots of restaurants offer service industry nights on Mondays or Tuesdays when business is slow anyway.
