"Hi Tracy," I said as I answered the phone.
"Hi Gloria, are you available to do me a favor tomorrow night, it'll be fun, I think," she said.
"Doesn't sound like a rousing endorsement for whatever you have in mind," I said with a laugh.
"That's because I'm not sure. A woman I work with, her friends are having a bachelorette party, she knows about it, and I was asked to go. They are going to a private strip club, all male dancers, all you can drink etc."
"You've been to bachelorette party's before with strippers, no big deal, so why the apprehension now?" I asked.
"Well they're in their 20's and early 30's and I'll feel like the old lady of the group, so I was hoping you would go with me, she said it would be okay if I brought a friend."
"So you want another old lady to go with so you won't be the only one?" I said laughing.
"Exactly and I paid for you already," she answered.
Tracy and I are both in our mid 40's and if I have to say so myself, we're considered "hot."
I have short blonde hair and she has long brunette hair. Her breasts are bigger than mine, but I'm not small. She has a better butt, but I have nicer legs. We're both married to successful men, but we're each successful in our own professions. I have two teenage kids and she has three. We've known each other forever and we both like to have fun!
"Okay I'll go, what the heck," I said.
"Wonderful, the dress is summer casual, it's in the city and I'll drive. I'll pick you up at 7."
Tracy picked me up at 7:30 which is pretty good for her, love her dearly, but she's always late. She didn't even have time to come inside and say hello to my husband. He knew where we were going and wanted to tease Tracy about it, but he'll have to save his jokes for another day.
We got into the city without any delays and were able to find a parking lot only half a block away from the club we were going to.
There was a line of ladies entering the door. There was no indication that it was a club, no signs anywhere just a regular steel door, with two guys checking tickets. It made sense, this was a by invitation club for parties only, no off the street business. There were just as many women our age as ones younger. I pointed this out to Tracy and asked if I should go home, we had a laugh.
When we got upstairs there was a sign saying all dancers, servers and patrons are 18 years old or older.
Tracy pointed at the sign saying at least we won't run into any of our kids.
The room was large with a runway in the center of the room, standing cocktail tables around the outer walls and some tables and chairs scattered around. There were bars on either end of the room. It was a lot nicer than what I thought it might be this could be fun.
There had to be at least 50 other women already there milling around talking and having a drink. Tracy saw her group the same time they saw her and waved us over. I was introduced to the bride to be and the other friends. They were all very nice.
