Minx research the Queensland party scene

So Minx decides to go on holiday to rest and relax by day… and party by night. Where else would you go but the sunny state of Queensland, the state that has the reputation for being the party place to be in summer?

The People: We entered our travel plans into Redhotpie’s new Travel section and soon after started to receive messages and flirts from the locals. We made plans to meet up with a couple who were also travelling to the Gold Coast at the same time as us. We met with another local couple on a night when we travelled to Brisbane. Once the weekend came around we met a few more people at the local parties listed on rhp.

Everyone we spoke to online were friendly but a little less keen to come out and meet in person if they had never done so before. The crowd at the parties we felt were very different to Melbourne in the sense that if you didn’t approach someone – they certainly were not going to approach you. Most of the couples stuck to themselves but once we started to make conversation with them they were almost relieved to start socializing… just not enough for them to have made the first move!

The Entertainment: We attended quite a few venues while in the Gold Coast and Brisbane including Hollywood Showgirls, Players Showgirls, Toy Box Showgirls, Hooters (restaurant), Sin City (nightclub), Waxys (pub), Mirasoul (restaurant in Paddington, Brisbane), Minx Gentleman’s Club and The Cabaret Club.

For a fun dinner out you must head to Hooters! Great conversation points also if you’re with a couple that you want to get talking about girls. The mention for Mirasoul is because this is one of the best restaurants/bar’s that we have been to in a long time – the venue, service and food was absolutely amazing.

Head to Sin City on a ladies night for free drinks until 11pm – and Waxys for a laid back pub meal/ live music.

But the best of all was checking out the strip clubs. The first thing we noticed about the Gold Coast is again the stark difference to Melbourne – in the GC the prices are almost double for private dances, there are hosts who double as supervisors/ time keepers for the dancers and there is far less crowd interaction. If you prefer to watch the most amazing looking girls doing very little, head to Hollywood but if you prefer a more fun atmosphere with girls that are look a little more realistic (but still hot) head to Toy Box. The ‘must do’ if your in Brisbane and game enough to head into the valley is to head to The Cabaret Club – no other place offers $5 lap dances. Sure the dance duration is short (1 song) but the girls get to the point and get up close and personal (no 5 minute intro’s of them swinging hips and taking off their bra), they start topless, look amazing and leave you wanting more – and for another $5 you can have it again and again and again!

The Rhp Clubs: Due to the fact that we were only here for one weekend we only got to attend 2 clubs on a Friday and Saturday night. On a Friday night we dropped into Liazons in the Gold Coast. Unfortunately we arrived on what was a ‘quiet’ night as the hosts described that their big Christmas party was the previous weekend so we didn’t get to witness a lot of interaction but those that were there were very friendly and welcoming. The venue was quaint, and reminded us of a comfortable local pub.

On the Saturday night we headed to Brisbane to attend the Couples International members’ only Christmas party. The venue was set out great with private play rooms upstairs on one side of the venue and public play rooms upstairs on the other side. This was again another realization of how different the Victorian crowd is to the Queensland crowd. In Queensland people are more private, closed doors when playing, strict rules of no interaction unless formally invited. In Victoria there is a lot more public play. The ‘members’ of the club also didn’t seem to all interact very much. Most couples sat in their pairs awkwardly waiting for someone to start a conversation with them and not many looked comfortable. We started a few conversations with some sexy young couples who told us that out of four visits to the club they’d only ever chatted to another member once! If these guys were in Victoria they’d surely have dates lined up every week with eager couples. Regardless, we got ventured upstairs to the public play area and soon had the bed filled with 2 other young couples playing, girls kissing and pleasuring each other while the keen crowd gathered to watch the ‘show’.

Overall: We had a great time but if you’re not willing to initiate the conversations and socialize then don’t expect others to. If you’re from Queensland and your reading this then I suggest you get out and meet some rhp couples – even for a drink at a bar… it’s not as scary as you think and you will be surprised how much fun it is. If you’re reading this and you’re travelling to Queensland I strongly recommend that if you plan to meet couples – you should start chatting to them online beforehand. If you’re lucky enough to plan your trip when there’s an rhp event on, maybe plan to meet up with someone whose local and already registered their interest in the event. Queensland may not have lived up to its ‘go hard party’ reputation for us but we think it certainly has a LOT of potential. Enjoy!
