[QUOTE=Cienega32]After more sports book, I checked on Cleo's at about 7:15. 4 girls with 1 nice and petite with great legs. The other 3 were a little bit chubby but nothing like I've seen in the recent past. I chuckled loudly when the one girl told me $60! "What happened to the $30 I used to pay?" was met with a big smile and "OK - $40 for massage, oral and sex". I took legs upstairs. I talked "Carla" into joining me in the shower and she has a cute little body with a little bit of tummy damage from 2 kids but great thighs and a nice little box.

Read many good things about Cleo’s, so I hit at 3:30 PM.
After I rang the bell a male voice told me to come back tomorrow.
They close at 3:30 on a Saturday? WTF?
A drawback to Cleo’s is there are no other MPs close-by that you can use for back-up.
So I paid a taxi to take me to Siluetas’.
Had a great time.

OTHER STUFF
Walked to Shangri-La restaurant afterwards.
Great food & ambience for 100 pesos.
All the restaurants I try on Americas Ave. are very nice.
They aren’t cheap though. Average price is around 100-120 pesos plus tip.
******************************
The cabbie tried the old trick of walking into Siluetas with me so he can get a kick-back.
But I was on to him. I just walked around the block until he left.
Had an interesting conversation with him.
‘so you see much violence?’
“yes sir I can take you to the pharmacy. Anything you want sir.”
‘no, do see much violence, not Viagra’
“yes sir I can get you Valium, Viagra, anything you want sir. No prescription sir.”
So I guess I know who to go to if I ever want to be a junkie.
***********************************
At 3:30 the pedestrian entrance at the Santa Fe was packed.
So I hit the pedestrian entrance at the free bridge, which took about three minutes.
***********************************
Took a cab to the free bridge b/c it gets dark so quickly now.
Walking around Juarez in the dark is too high a risk for me.
Pink Lady's & Casa Colorada
[quote=bbond]a recent visitor to juarez reports that pink lady's and casa colorada are closed, can anyone confirm or deny that?[/quote]i visited both places on saturday & wednesday and both were open, i was also told pink lady's had a good crowd on tuesday.
they could've of been closed monday, but do they close up a place for only 24hrs?
so i don't know how reliable your info is.
also, pink lady is pretty good about monitoring ****d girls.
Juarez Expeiences More Deaths
Gentlemen,
I read the "El Mañana" newspaper, from Nuevo Laredo, daily. Juarez is not a good place to go these days in my humble opinion. Please correct me if I am wrong. There have been numerous multi-person assassinations in recent days. Do they stay away from the touristas?
Stray bullets know no address

It seems to be as such at this point. Their beefs are "inside" and now are shaking down local businesses more - perhaps to compensate for any lost funds?
If you listen to some on this side of the river, one would think everyone is running around with a gun in hand just shooting anything that moves. Those being the ones who use phrases like "My friend heard from their cousin who knows someone that heard..." in most cases. Read some of the local (El Paso/Las Cruces) online newspaper forums for some of that "insight".
But, myself, I do expect it to carry over to American tourists sooner than later if only because of the economy, the upcoming holidays/shopping trips and the ability to blend in with the big crime. Very opportunistic atmosphere.
Right now, it seems to still be the Policia as being our biggest "threat".
Just my .27 pesos worth...
