Rope Burn … or the day I learned how to lap dance
I snag a parking spot on Fourth and Colorado for my Venus Envy Training Sex Appeal class. (Yes, I hear the WTF) I hop out, clad in workout shorts, a tank top, and a bright pink scarf. The huge curtains at the front of Cuba Libre usher me in to semi-darkness, where a shadowy figure…
