Mahal,
I was in Porto Alegre last week and got back Monday 7/3/06 and IMHO i don´t think it is a town for PFP. You were correct in that Carmens was closed last night but it is also closed on a Saturday night as well. Most of the locals including the Programmas go to another place (please excuse me for not remembering the name). All the taxi drivers should know it due to the popularity and the length of the queue, easily about 100metres long.
Madrigal (cover charge/entrada 50R) is just about bearable and you have nothing to worry about but beware of the girls , because they are not that pretty close up and for that reason the club is very dimly lit.
I was in there about 0200hrs after realising the shut out at Carmens and was instantly approached by a fake blonde. Nice enough around 6,5 wearing stockings a turn on for me, I think her name was Patricia. She forced a conversation out of me and I suddenly got in the mood for some action. She said she had recently got back from Argentina and was forced to leave brasil due to the competion from so many girls in the profession. I couldn´t quite get out of here the reason why she had come back.
Any way I ask her if she has any special skills, and she says what do you mean. I explain that I have never had a deepthroat blow job and instead of talking about it can she demonstate ont he recently emptied beer bottle on the table.
She gasps that she has never done such a thing and that she´d need a doctor if she attempted that on my "anaconda" LOL.
The conversation continues along these lines and I conclude that she isn´t really that enthusiastic.
The most consistant thing is that she insisted that I buy here a red bull. My instincts stopped me but the following day I bought two and to my horror I realised that they charge 30R each. Please learn from my mistakes.
The best place to be in Porto Alegre is Carmens you agree the price with the girl for an hour (usually 150 - 200) and pay the house for the room 100R. No place to dance and really a place for older generation or out of town visitors business men. Most locals will not be able to afford the prices. The waiters will prod any girl on your table that you like in an instant.
IMO the girls here are pure professionals and very cold, nothing like the GFE you´ll get in RIO or elsewhere.
Overall POA is not a town for PFP on the same scale as RIO or Sampa but if you are forced to go there for business, this is what to expect.
PS another club across the road from Madrigal called "sex club" not even worth going in there. The girls are so horrible, I quickly drank my beer and hurried out double time.
Ronaldinho has apparently bought a boite in POA called Casablanca. Obvioulsy registered and fronted by his brother which I am told should rival Carmens. We will have to wait and see.
Super Sir out.
