| - I heard of this funky new lounge in ever expanding old town Scottsdale, a couple of months before I actually made it in. I knew it had some kind of weird hot seat toilets and karaoke rooms. I decided to check out the toilets with some of my friends after work. The comfortably smallish lounge is located across from Stingray Sushi. I called ahead to see what kind of crowd was expected. She was extremely friendly and said I should definitely come down and check it out. Oh-and there was to be a photo shoot taking place. Hmmm. When we arrived, Jamie -the hostess took us on a full tour of the place. A thumping rhythm was blaring through the air. A blend of styles made up the ambiance in the bar. Giant sepia toned prints of Hendrix, Morrison and Sid Vicious took up most of the entire wall behind the bar filled with very pretty Scottsdale ladies in their 20's and 30's. there were some slight Japanese accents but overall pretty normal and DARK. First off, Jamie showed us the Karaoke rooms each ranging in size and cost per hour. They were all complete with their own large flat screen monitor, microphones and songbook . Prices began at $60 on up. Looked pretty fun and I especially like the idea of not having to suffer through someone else's pain full rendition of "Not Ready To Be Nice", when I can clearly do that on my own and in private no less. I liked it, but I had to see the robot toilet! Jamie laughed when I asked and took us all immediately to the john where she, without hesitation, went right up to the commode and pointed out the various features on the wall next to the TP. It was rather uncomfortable for me looking at a public toilet and hearing this very pretty woman talk about how you can make the seat warm up so your behind would not be shocked with coldness when in need to drop the kids off at the pool. I am even uncomfortable now, just writing about it. The porcelain throne did some other bizarre things- but I had left the room as quickly as possible back into the bar looking for a drink.
Jamie set us up at a table along the perimeter. Samples of Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Yes, Billy Squire and even Neil Diamond rolled out over the pulsing beats. Very strange but I liked it. Within minutes of being seated my 2 friends (straight) and I (not straight) noted the higher numbers of well dressed men that seemed to cluster amongst themselves without any inclusion of a female. Hmmmm, we were very close to BS West the local gay bar. Oh well, I wasn't complaining and my friends are cool. Our server, also attractive was very nice and got my friends a "pitcher" of floral saki to split. I had a $9 glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. I liked my wine very much they got used to their 25% proof saki at $36 a pitcher which was shaped like a large bamboo shoot with a spout. Then the photo shoot commenced. Two ladies made up to look like Asian Geisha's were placed in suggestive positions, sometimes with young pretty boys that were totally into it (NOT). Over all it was pretty cool if....IF...1. You like really loud music that never plays a complete song. 2. You want to do Karaoke and stay in a closet doing it. and finally, 3. You want to pretend your straight. They serve food, too.
