Though it took a bit of prodding to get her to reveal her age, Bridges was more than willing to open up to MEL about how she makes it work running a rub-and-tug business. I actually avoided the sensual element for a long time, for most of my career.
I only added that in the last, I would say, three to four years now. I actually called an agency. The guy who owned it was a very open-minded Chinese man, about He treated me very well. He thought I performed a good massage and thought I was attractive. He had girls of all shapes and sizes. They were all beautiful in their own way. He had an office where clients would call to book an appointment.
It was a minute walk from where the massages were actually performed. He was very smart about protecting himself. Not so much with the girls though. The massage rooms were in an office building near 35th close to the Empire State building. The landlord knew what kind of business the Chinese man had and came one day when a young woman was arrested for negotiating sexual favors with a client before the session started.
I can promise you they all did that even though it was not advertised as such. Not only that—none of them was a licensed therapist, which is usually what the law gets them on. Asian houses are especially prone to this. From there, I just started my own practice.
I bought a location up in Westchester now. What does your massage room look like? The Manhattan space does not belong to me. There is a guy who has a room and a list of therapists he uses and rents to them by the hour. We bring our own oil. In Westchester, the massage space is in a room in an apartment in a very large old house.
