knasgoth01.21 2014 : I went to this place yesterday and I did not like it. Very drab and dank looking. I guess I couldn't chose the girl I wanted so they got stuck with a creepy older lady giving me a massage. I don't think I'll repeat the experience...
uchurei10.19 2012 : This place is in-between a DVD store and a Mediterranean restaurant. If you drive by at night it is very dark and hard to see the street address. Also the name above the store is something like "Lucia Fashion Boutique" which is wildly confusing when are driving by looking for it.
cdc08.18 2012 : [This long comment is my "first step" story for the other noobs out there like me! Hobbyist can skip unless you like seeing a noob fail. :)
Exec summary of only hard data I can share:
Mimi works on Tuesdays
Mimi looked young, 25-30, maybe
Not skinny, but nice curvy figure with a cute face and polite. GND
5'-5" maybe
My little story:
I walked in on a Tuesday and as some others have reported there was only one girl working. A nice looking girl. Not skinny but attractive and sweet looking as far as I could tell in the low lights and 20 feet away. She said, "Sorry. Busy with customer. Come back one hour. Sorry."
I called back in one hour, and it sounded like the same girl answered and she asked me to call back in 10 minutes.
At this point I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. :) I'm a total noob, and this was the second time I had walked in to West LA foot massage only to be told to come back in one hour. I'm 36, married. I've only ever gotten legit Thai massages for my sciatica at one nice Thai place, but I've started to get curious. After a week or two of googling I've found rub maps, TER, cityvibe, craigslist masseuses, naughty reviews, labest massages, etc. I've been reading all the reviews I could find to see if this is something I want to experience.
Anyway I call again and this time I get an older sounding woman, better English. Must be the mamasan. Asked her if I could see her girl tomorrow. She said sure. I then said I wanted the same girl. She chuckled. "Ahh, she only works Tuesday. Tomorrow different girls". I then asked for the girl's name, because I think I really liked that she wasn't a super hot, and for me intimidating model type. :) Mamasan said, "My name is Kim." I smiled and asked again for the girls name. Mamasan chuckled again and said Mimi.
With that I said thank you and maybe I'll see her next Tuesday. Mamasan said don't need appointment just walk in. Sure, I said, but i thought to myself with my noob luck it'll be weeks before I see my "Mimi." :)
So, I'm still definitely slowly dipping my toes into the world of you hobbyists (assuming anyone is still reading!). West LA foot massage is probably the best location for me, along with Upscale Spa down the block on Santa Monica. It doesnt sound like I would have the best first time experience at Palm Tree Spa up the block on Sawtelle. I don't think I'm ready for FS, and I'm not sure I want much more than teasing and sensual touching right now, especially as a married man.
Anyway, if any hobbyists out there have any advice for a married man curious about the massage experience I would love to hear it. In your experience, would choosing massage essentially be throwing away my marriage? I would not want that, and right now I'm probably lying to myself about even entertaining this "hobby".
Thanks,
CDC
