Remember the Harmony?

I first went to the Harmony (Church St.) with my brother-in-law in late December 1990, having read about it in Screw. If memory serves, we primed the pump first at the Xmas party at The Doll House, now NY Dolls, on Murray St. The Harmony review in Screw referred to the "buck a minute" dances, and I definitely recall some test drive dances of three dollars or so. Needless to say, we were hooked from the first.

Soon after arriving I was set upon by a dancer who at the time was 34 and at the beginning of the end of what was a very successful stripping career. I was 26, and apparently very much her type. But after I declined a dance with her she gave me the cold shoulder the rest of the night. Details are vague here, but that night, the Church St. location closed earlier than 22nd St., so we went up there to continue our debauchery. The aforementioned dancer also showed up, and said to us, with great disdain, "Came for some more pussy?" Indeed. Long story short, this woman was ultimately Fatal Attraction-style hot for me. She'd ignored me because my earlier rejection was too much to bear. We ended up spending an hour or so all the way in the back, very hot and heavy, for which I gave her five dollars. We saw each other outside the club for about a month or so before I broke things off when I realized the extent of her obsession. On days she worked she used to call me to meet her at Church St., and would give me the entry fee in singles so I didn't have to pay, then we'd spend time making out in those uncomfortable theater chairs. She'd later tell me that other customers who were waiting their turn were not happy that they didn't get the same treatment. So, 17 years later, and I sometimes run into her in my neighborhood. Time has not been kind to her, but she holds a special place in my heart when all is said and done, it was great in retrospect, and I'd love to be the object of such passion these days.

Tabu was my ATF, and as I'd posted elsewhere on this board, was the one and only dancer in my pathetic strip clubbing career to work me up enough to come in my pants. Sometime in '01, I think, a friend invited me to a club downtown, and I realized with dismay and nostalgia that it was the old HC space. Structurally it was exactly the same inside, and I could only wander around wide-eyed, heartbroken, recalling all the dirty fun I'd had in all those dark corners . . .
I got a number of lap dances there that were basically sex on a chair. A couple accidentally uncovered. Near the time the place shut down I was talking to two hot Latinas near closing time. I got the two for $200 dollars for the whole night (actually day as well since they finally left about 3 PM). We had a fantastic time and they were really into it. I think they spoiled me for future rent a dates. I am just glad that I didn't drink too much that night and my energy was up or I would not have survived the experience.

Do we *really* believe any woman gets satisfaction from anonymous sex in a grungy dark live sex lounge? I'm not even sure they have a good time when they ask me out to dinner after a friendly session at their place.

Go ahead. Try me.

While I expect most don't, I think there are certainly *some* women who do get such satisfaction. If you get off on dirty, anonymous sex, this would be the right career choice, after all.
 
Ahh the Melody/Harmony. Fond memories of those squeaky chairs, dark corners and half naked women everywhere.
In the mid 80's there was a dancer there, I believe her name was Lisa Be, a part time porn actress at the tail end of her acting career. Anyone know what happened to her. I got my first ld ever from her. I had to wait for quite awhile before she became free, she had this slow grind where she was able to turn around and feed her nipples to you without straining herself. Being young and naive, almost blew it after just a couple of minutes.
On another note, there was a older guy 50-60's that seemed to live in the 48st locale. he always showed up with a flashlite and magnifying glass. All the girls knew what he wanted, the girls on stage would lay back in front of him, lift the legs and spread wide. the old guy would then shine the lite into the cooch and start the exam with the mag glass. I got a kickout of seeing him goto work. maybe he was a OB/GYN. LoL.
The most intense experience at the harmony was at the Church st location and I almost blew it off. There was a dancer there, can't remember her name but she was about 25-27 y/o, white, dirty blond shoulder length hair, spinner body not gorgeous but cute. Anyhow, she asked to give me a dance a couple of times but I blew her off as I was waiting for one of the other girls and limited funds. Well the girl I was waiting for went into the "locker room" next to the stage & didn't come back out, well I figure its late & got get home, saved my funds for next time. On the way out the spinner was by the exit, oh well she smiles and says "are you ready now", what the hell, yes. She leads me downstairs and into the small hall, left of the staiwell. Lucked out & got a seat, tipped her I think 5bucks. She sat down and was grinding away and me roaming and squeezing her, I guess she really got into it because she reached back and started rubbing jr otc like crazy. I figure might as well see if i could wet my digits, she was soaked. She leaned back and said to get my fingers really wet and finger blast her ass, shes like its ok and shes clean, thats how she gets off. Who am I turn that down. I was only able to get 1 finger in her ass because of the awkward position but after just a few minutes of this she O's. She gets up and leads me to the corner of the hall where its even darker, whips out jr and gives me a hj till I blew into her hand. She thanked me for the O, peck on the cheek and I was off to the subway, found her wet spot on my pants getting on the train. Saw her couple times after that but never had a repeat of the 1st time. She disappeared and was informed by one of the other girls that the spinner got pregnant and had stopped dancing. Totally forgot her name.
Fond memories.
 
After i figured out a trick that let me get off everytime from lap dancing it was sheer heaven. Id lap dance with a variety of diff girls then pick a hot one to get off with. I distinctly remember slow grinding and looking right into tabu or sparkles eyes as they slow grind me and i cum warm and strong. They didnt even know it and kept right on grinding letting me pulsate again and again until i was done. I did this with practically all the girls there. It was like fucking each one of them. Handling them all over as i came from their thrusting. One fav position was when they turned around back facing me and spread their legs as they grabbed my knees or the chair in front for support. I remember blowing my load many times that way. Best part was that they didnt stopped grinding all they way thru. I came twice sometimes like that. Best 780-100 bucks ever spent. Shit i miss that place. Like fucking multiple girls at a whore house each time.
 
Wow. Im depressed now. No amp experience/ whorehouse experience ive had was as good for the money spent. Thanks guys for reviving this thread.
 
There are NO clubs offering the same experience. They all got too greedy. Lookit, get a gaggle of hot friggin euro, latin, black and white chicks, some good music and guys who don't mind dropping at least $500 bucks over time, and the scene works. Don't try to structure it, don't do champagne/private rooms - rooms w/ fees. And let it all flow. That was Harmony. And take note wannabes, it lasted a LONG time. That's how you do it. It worked so well, that it would carry on after hours on church street at the art gallery basement across the street (the blue angel or whatever that was).

What sucks more is not even Cat Bar remains. My routine was visit my fav bartender and friend bouncer at Cat Bar. Chill, flirt and drink w/ the dancers there. Stay depending on the talent and possibilities. Then hit the other partying on that block at Cordatos or the building on the other side of Cat Bar, or spend the rest of the night at Harmony and Blue Angel.
 
15 years? Wow. How could the memories of that place and the woman who worked there still be so fresh in my mind?

I've mongered on and off since then but nothing has compared to the exciting complexity of the Harmony. The tease. The intimacy. The dirtiness. The conversations. The pussy. Nothing.

Tabu, Lalique, Catalina, Meeshee, and Sugar are sorely missed. I paid lots of rents and kept the housekeeping staff at Liberty pretty busy with all the time I put in with those woman and that hotel.
