So after a particularly stressful day at work, I decided I needed a massage. (Even though I should have waited for two more weeks.) Was going to t.o.f.t.t. and go to that Planet Spa on 129th.ave.and 97th.street...but as you might agree: sometimes its better to go with what you know than with what you don't. So off to the No.1 Spa I go again.
As I only needed a Relaxation massage, I Decided to give Taiwanese Tiffany a try. Not as beautiful as Taiwanese Gloria, but gorgeous nonetheless. I think she had wavy brown hair and slim...probably around 25. Much better English than Gloria, and likewise chats at the beginning until you are relaxed, then respectfully is silent.
I did need a little deep tissue, and I found she didn't have the same strength in her fingers that Gloria has. Ironically, she used the same finger walking/pinching technique that Betty at Blue Sky uses. (Wonder if its something new)
SO...what she did do better than Gloria (and many others) is give a true FULL body massage: this means not neglecting the front and including the groins and lower abdomen. (And...you can get a receipt with her). Spent a little too much time on the back...but so do most. Only part that got missed was my feet.
As has been reported, no happy endings offered and more importantly...no teasing like Maggie, to make you think you might get more and keep you coming back. Probably no D.I.Y. either, like Gloria did and maybe still does.
So...I am not sure how often I would go downtown for a massage...but when I do: I would go to Apple for a deep tissue/Asian style massage when I need my aches and pains taken care of. Likewise, I would go to Tiffany for more of a Western Relaxation massage, when I am needing a stress release.
By the sounds of it, if some of you guys needs a different type of release, you would see Apple or Winnie.
