"So, once he sobered up, did Andy have any stories about this rolling bachelor party you were telling me he went to Friday night?" Karen asked her daughter as soon as the waitress at their regular Sunday brunch spot finished taking their orders.
Brianna thought her mom was being oddly persistent in asking again for details of Andy's night. She and her mother could always talk about even the most private subjects, but Karen's interest in her son-in-law's drunken night out was baffling. "It wasn't a rolling party, just a bus ride home from the strip club they were at. There's really not much to tell. Once he finally got up Saturday afternoon, he told me he was kind of embarrassed to have been such a lightweight in front of a bunch of guys he had just met. He was barely able to walk by the time they left the strip club and was out of it all through the various stops the club's bus made to drop off each of the guys. The two guys who more or less carried him into our condo said he had been passed out ever since they boarded the bus."
"Oh," said Karen, "Somehow I thought it would be a juicier story than that. A visit to a strip club is pretty much typical for that kind of thing, isn't it?"
"Yeah, I guess so," replied Brianna, "In fact, a handful of the Bride's party, including me, went to one ourselves Friday night. I was just getting home myself when Andy showed up!"
"Male strippers? Wow, we didn't have anything like that available for us girls when I married your father; what were they like? Tell me all about it." asked Karen, clearly hoping for details.
"The evening was actually pretty mild at the start," Brianna began, "Mona, the maid of honor, arranged everything. A limo went around town picking us all up, and we had a glass of champagne on the way to The Striped Frog, that new French restaurant downtown. Besides me, there was Toni, the bride-to-be, Hanna, Toni's cousin, Hanna's mother, Margaret, and Mona, of course. Technically Hanna shouldn't have been having champagne; she just turned 19 a few months ago, but Margaret was right there to supervise. We had a great dinner out on their patio, with wine and a bunch of silly party games. After dessert and more wine, we all piled back into the limo and were driven to a bar on the edge of town, out on Route 46 near the airport."
Karen interrupted, "Wait, go back and tell me a little about your companions."
"Sure," said Brianna, remembering how her mother always wanted to know every detail about whatever adventure her daughter had. "Toni, the bride, works with me, she's only been living here a few months and doesn't know many people here yet, that's probably why I'm in the wedding party at all. She's 31, almost 6', blonde and fit, seriously fit, I think she's run a marathon or two. Hanna is tall, but a little less so, around 5'-10" and on the heavy side, not really fat, just well padded. She's got long strawberry blonde hair. Her mom is in her early fifties, in pretty good shape but fairly short; Hanna must get her height from her dad. She's got close-cropped dark brown hair. Mona is the standout of the group, around 5'-8" with spiky short red hair and a killer body, fit but curvy, especially her boobs; she's sure to get lots of attention from the single guys at the wedding reception! She's the same age as Toni, they were roommates their last couple of years in college."
"That's great, now I can picture you all out on the town, though I don't know if I believe that Mona could be the standout of any group you're a part of," said Karen.
"Thanks for that, but being my Mom, you're not exactly impartial!" replied Brianna, laughing.
"You're just being modest. I had the picture you gave me from that modeling job you told me all about pinned up on the wall next to my work area for a while, and ended up taking it down because I got tired of men whose teeth I had just cleaned asking if you were single! Go on with your story; you were just getting to the bar, what was it like?"
"The modeling job I told you about, but definitely not ALL about," Brianna thought as she looked across the table; she was a little distracted at hearing her Mom had put a photo of her in a bathing suit on display at her workplace, and was glad the photo she'd given Karen showed her in a conservative one-piece suit, not one of the tiny suits she'd worn later in the same show!
"The bar? Unimpressive, to be honest," Brianna replied, "after the restaurant and limo it seemed like a step backward. The place was your basic bar/roadhouse, with a couple of pool tables at one end and a stage at the other end. It wasn't exactly seedy or dirty, but it seemed kind of rough around the edges. I wondered why Mona had chosen this place to be the last stop for our evening until I noticed a sign saying it was Lady's Night, no male customers allowed from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, with featured entertainers: a troupe of male strippers from Russia named Bolshoi Boys. Mona had clearly done some planning, arranging reserved seats for us right next to the stage. Margaret seemed pretty put out by Mona's choice of entertainment, but Hanna told her, 'It's no big deal, Mom. I don't imagine we'll see anything I haven't already seen in my dorm!' Margaret didn't seem much happier to have that to wrap her head around, but stopped objecting and took a seat next to Hanna.
"Wow, I've never been to a show like that, did they actually get naked?" Karen asked.
"When we arrived there were three dancers on the stage, all wearing some sort of sparkly jackets and pants. Before too long they were all down to just a sequined g-string. They were better dancers than I expected, in very good shape, and were good at firing up their audience, going around the edge of the stage and acting like they were going to take off their g-string!"
"Well, did they or didn't they?" Karen asked.
"Despite a lot of encouragement from the audience to take it all off, after their tour around the stage the 3 almost nude dancers headed offstage in a sort of mini conga line, treating us to some twerking as they left but not taking off their G-strings. As soon as they were off the stage another trio came out, all wearing black leather jackets and some really short black leather shorts. One of them had a microphone and addressed the crowd in fairly good but heavily accented English; he spoke slowly to be understood, saying, 'Hello ladies, I am Dmitri. My two comrades behind me, Mikhail and Yuri, are setting up our own private bar, with shots of our favorite Russian vodka for any lady who will dance with us. Please, come up, have a drink and have a little dancing with your choice of dancer! A minute or two later, they had a couple of bottles of Green Mark vodka set up on the table in a large ice bucket, with at least a dozen iced shot glasses ready to go. Our group just looked at each other, wondering if any of us was going to go have a shot.
"While we were dithering, a couple other audience members stepped up to the stage. Dmitri reached down to take the first woman's hand and helped her get up onto the stage. Mikhail escorted her back to the bar, where Yuri was waiting with her vodka. She downed the shot and Yuri took her hand and began dancing with her. At first they just had a basic slow dance, but after a while Yuri expertly dipped her back and spun her around, pulling her tight to his body and grinding with her. When Mikhail and his partner came to the center of the stage Yuri and the first woman moved to the side and Yuri helped her back off the stage. Mikhail and the second woman danced closely from the start, and he seemed to have his hands all over her, mostly in innocuous areas but drifting to her butt and even briefly sliding up to her boobs!"
"But nobody in your group wanted to go on the stage?" Karen asked.
"I'm getting to that," Brianna paused, wondering if she should give her Mom the full story, eventually continuing, "Hanna was more than ready to take the stage, holding her hand up like she was answering a question in a class. I noticed Mona standing at the side of the stage talking with Dmitri, who nodded and walked straight over to Hanna. Before Hanna stood up Margaret jumped up and held up her hand to stop Dmitri. He quickly grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her up; between her momentum jumping up and his pulling her arm she stumbled up onto the stage. Once she was there she explained to Dmitri that the young woman holding her hand up was her daughter, and warned him not to get too fresh with her."
