The whole purpose of this early trip to Memphis was twofold
One being the spectacle of it all
Second being that beers were a dollar until one pm
Platinum Plus opened up at nine-thirty am
And we were there to walk inside on the dot
The place was empty except for us four
The red fabric draped walls and clusters of comfortable chairs spread out before us
All surrounding the center stage
Paved in black with two stripper poles
Lights lining the edge of the stage and walkway
With a curious double hoop brass bar arrangement on one side over near the DJ booth
Sort of like the place on big bars where the waitress goes to pick up orders
But all brass tubing and not sitting on top of anything but the floor
We found a good place to sit
In a cluster of chairs close to the stage
And a waitress came over to take our order
While the DJ did a sound check
"Check, check, check
The big sound of Platinum Plus coming at you
Check, check, check-ola"
There was some activity behind the stage curtain
The waitress brought us a tray of beers
Which seemed strangely proportioned
And become clearer when we held them in our hands
On the one hand
It made us all feel like giants holding regular beer bottles
But in the reality land of the other hand
We were regular sized people
It was the beers that were small
8 ouncers to be exact
Pretty much a dollar's worth of beer
So we told the waitress to keep them coming every ten minutes or so
Just then the DJ spouted off in his best strip club wah-wah voice
"Welcome to The Platinum Plus Champagne Room
Be sure to tip your waitress and the dancers
And get ready for........Angel!"
Aerosmith's Pink poured out of the speakers
Almost deafening our virgin ears
As Angel took the stage
Wearing a white bikini underneath a white cowboy vest and white cowboy chaps
Angel stomped her white cowboy boots out to the first pole
Tilting her head back
Causing her white cowboy hat to tumble from her head
Releasing her blonde hair to cascade down her back
She gave us the eye
As she slowly rubbed up and down the pole
Unhooking one button on her vest
We started gathering up some small bills
As it was clear that we were going to be using them
A lot
