I deleted the one on the Monarchs page because I wasn't sure I posted in the right place. My bad.

Went to check Monarchs after calling it a day at SRI. Free admission till next week when the club officially opens. Glad it was free otherwise I would have been upset. The parking lot was full but don't let this fool you. When I walked in at about 8 on Friday I noticed there were more waitresses than dancers. Not a good sign. No drink hustle which was cool. I just took a seat and watched the girl on stage whose name I don't remember (because she wasn't worth remembering). I noticed Marie from SRI in the corner and I always wanted to try her but before I could this girl Candy sat on my lap. Pretty good looking woman. Exotic looking. Said she was half Irish and half Indian. She showed me around the club which was vaguely familiar to me--HT was the first Industry club I went to but that was a lifetime ago. I decided to give her a shot. There is basically one section for the 20 (topless) and 40 dollar (nude) dances. One row for each. I did the topless with Candy. I should have waited for them to run their specials since they kept running specials the whole time I was there, but whatever, the girl was honest and she's pretty attractive. Implants for sure and nfz down south but based on my 3-4 songs with her I felt she might be open to more. One thing is for sure. Even though this club is pretty empty, almost every patron tried her out. I think the struggle for many girls here will be getting people into the VIP. I don't quite remember but I think the lowest vip was 120. The problem is the Vip is grouped in one section so on a busy day you're right next to someone else. The other options might offer more privacy, but in terms if better mileage, that's the risk you take. Went back to my seat and started looking for Marie again and this time a blonde sat next to me. Her name is Paige. Cute body, but plain somewhat blemished face. Almost older looking bu I think shes in her early 20's. I bought her a drink just because she was fun to talk to. Got a few dances from her and I have to say her upper body is amazing. Nfz down south, but the feel of her upper body was amazing. After her I finally found Marie. Marie has this--I hate to say it--broken look, but I've always felt her body might be worth the investment. She came up to me and I took her up on the 20 dollar zone. I brought up that I recognized her from Sri and discovered she had worked there for 5 years. Wow! She asked me if I had any regular girls I liked at sri and I mentioned jade and cherish and kitty. Turns out she is really good friends with jade who now lives happily in florida. Said less to me about Cherish who I would really like to know more about--did she move clubs? Did she retire? Did she go to Vegas? I'd pay money for that intel (even though I could probably just call her). Marie has a great body but she gave me all these restrictions--that took away from part of my experience. All in all, it was all right. They kept running specials and an I pad raffle drawing for anyone who did vips. I probably won't go back here unless I hear really amazing things from others.

Cherish was my ATF!  And the way she has been described is exactly right except that she is definitely not Perla with limited Engish at that other club.  I remember her telling me she was trying to get into doing make up for weddings and stuff and I guess she must be giving that a go.  God, I hope she returns.   I keep searching the SRI roll calls hoping she will return, but I think she's gone.  I texted her a few times but no response.   Cest la vie! She was truly one of a kind.

I'm going to confirm what you said about Samantha. She did the same thing to me but unfortunately I think I gave in and I hated myself for it. I miss the days of old with girls like Jade and Kitty and Cherish. These were girls who played fair and I wanted to tip them more.
