Hummers, naked women, Princess Diana

Tobacco Avenue rolls back through Shockoe, this time with a visit to Velvet:

“Co-owners of the Velvet nightclub said yesterday that there is nothing in life they appreciate more than driving their Hummers, watching young women take off clothes for money and researching the history of Diana, Princess of Wales - whose mural is plastered across their Main Street-facing brick wall. [...] To help greet the city’s visitors at Main and 15th streets, the men also commissioned a depth perception-handicapped artist to paint a picture of their favorite princess on the side of the gentleman’s club.”

Tobacco Ave turns all-seeing eye to 18th Street

New RVA satire blog Tobacco Avenue has the scoop in Tiki Bob’s Cantina move to “add Skee-Ball, guy in oversized mouse costume”. From the post:

“Bikini night is a lot of fun, like, I love bringing Cindy down here and she be shakin’ her thang an’ whatnot, know what I saying?” frequent Tiki’s customer Kyle Fredericks said of the bar’s revamping. The 21-year-old hails from Charles City County and is a self-employed chemist, mixing substances such as Vick’s nasal inhaler, drain cleaner and rubbing alcohol and selling his concoctions for $100 to $120 per gram, depending on market price. “Get my drink on, shorty, fuggin’, Soldier Boy ya’ heard.”
