    I briefly dated one of the girls, and she was fairly nice.

    Just FYI, they get paid handsomely.

    Pure swimsuit = $35/hr
    Body paint = $70/hr

    I went to school for 8 years just to get paid $61/hr.

    And they have boatloads of tips. And the iced cafe is already $7-8.

    And the owner of Cafe Lu was a former waitress, now she's making mad bank. Heard revenue was in the millions last year. Ridiculous.

    San Jose coffee shops don't compare to OC's, esp. Cafe Lu, which hire a lot of young girls.

    Last time I was in Houston, I was driving on Westheimer when I saw this sweet BMW with the license plate that just said "Viet Nam". I pulled up beside the car thinking it was going to be some grizzled old Vietnam War vet, but instead it was a suave young Asian fellow. Nice way to rep his peoples.

    If you offer the ladies cream in their coffee, is there a backroom?

    Hold up. Why is this news? It's not a new concept. Where was the outrage when Travel Channel ranked Cowgirls Expresso in Seattle as one of the nation's best coffee shops?

    I wonder if Twin Peaks' grand opening at 59 and Kirby will make news. Oh no, lingerie serving waitresses.

    The steel cup brews the coffee. It doesn't mix.
