Madame Cleo’s Chariot

POSTED June 16, 2008 BY Gerald Belmont

I’m pretty sure one of the “masseuses” at Madame Cleo’s drives this sweet piece of late eighties. It’s always parked right out front, come to think of it it could belong to a customer. All though they’d have to be a pretty good customer considering how often I see this car. Then again if I was ballin’ outta control in my Lamborghini Countage I’d probably treat myself to a few “massages” now and again… actually on second thought, no I wouldn’t. coooontage.jpg

    that cars as gross as the dirty sluts who work at cleos. somebody should make a live webcam of the front door of that place so everybody can see the faces of the filth who go in there to work or to buy sluts. might be a way to get it out of the neihborhood….

    I used to deliver mail to Madame Cleo’s. On Christmas eve, some girls in various states of undress asked if I wanted my present…
    I said no and walked out the door.
    They laughed at me…
    sigh…

    a few times i’ve seen the girls from madam cleo’s doing windows out front….that’s like telling a waiter to do dishes….

    I just noticed this morning that that amazing airbrushed artwork in their front window has been covered up with black plastic. Now it looks like a dirty magazine behind the counter at seven eleven.

    Shit, this posting is popular. Guess you all like fast cars and soft hands.

    If i was back in grade 8 and still had soft hands… i’d be all over the Countage…

    and whys everyone hating on cleos? so you dont do hookers, other lonely accountants do, I say letem have their fun. whats it to you?
