Police conducted a sting of local area massage parlors, netting 11 arrests for suspected prostitution. If you’re looking for a legitimate massage, here are a few hints that your joint may not be kosher:
- Scantily clad masseuses – the City has a specific dress code for masseuses that doesn’t include provisions for lace, leather, or any type of clamp. My colleague’s experience has been with a masseuse with Vickie’s shorts with “Pink” written across the butt.
- Late night hours – would your dentist be open at midnight?
- Wording on ads and windows that say “Full Relaxation” aka “happy ending”.
- You’re asked if you want to shower before the massage.
- Offerings of treatments such as “Thai Massage Chair” and “Body Shampoos”.
- Floor to ceiling lace curtains on all windows.
- Hot dames in school girl or nurse uniforms on their information pamphlets or flyers.
In other news:
Am I getting a tax rebate? I just got my tax return yesterday (8 days from filing – w00t!) and it’s already almost gone. I could use one of those. I promise I won’t pay off debts with it. I’ll put it right back into the Riverside economy!
Want a pet? – find it in Petfinder (for Riverside, CA). J wants a mini-horse or pot bellied pig. Not. Our dog Ruby would probably eat it and I think J just wants the pig for a luau.
Heading out for some yardsale-ing and to check out the Riverside Farmer’s Market. Maybe we’ll catch “In Bruges”. Cya.
