Vivienne- Blair Street Sauna-Edinburgh

[Hooples cat]

Saw Vivienne again recently; she's one of my go-to girls and I hardly ever venture away from regulars (or indeed from saunas) now because of the risks of bad, or disastrous, punts. Hence my few recent reviews; Vivienne and Lucy (NTS) have been done to death, as it were.

Vivienne was excellent as usual; fantastic body, perfect fake tits, great service despite no anal or CIM.

But.....there was just the hint, for the very first time, of a slightly mechanical, "let's get the job done" approach during the punt. This, I think, is related to a point Cossack made recently when reviewing Natasha in BSS. On every day she works (about 4 days a week, double shift every time) Vivienne is just about booked solid. I can see why, given she's so good and most others are so poor, but...

When I was there I tried at noon to book her for 2pm but could only get 3.30pm because she was booked from 12.30 till then. Then, when I was in, there were two more punters booked with her after me.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a hygiene problem (at least superficially). She's always spotlessly clean and even in respect of the less obvious she seems to go to great lengths (or as much as she can-HPV jabs etc.) to protect from STDs. It's just that she's at serious risk of getting burned out. Much like the previously much-vaunted Heidi.

So that's it; not much that can be done about it (except you other guys leave her alone a bit more!!?).

But she and BSS's current popularity shows that the sauna as a business model (!) is far from dead; so why can't the others do it right? NTS were doing so until Kenny's axing, though as we know LSS is a lost cause.

Anyway...a wee positive to end on....Natalie from Poland's due back in NTS for one of her twice-yearly flying visits very soon. Enjoy!

good review - thank you 

I totally agree , that its a problem - Vivienne being popular as hell , as all the punters who entered when I went there ( before lunch ) - were all asking for her by name -
every single one I met during my hour visit
I actually timed my visit ( midweek and before lunch hour ) when I hoped it would be quieter - it was not , so they must be making the money -
BSS has to be doing a roaring business - as it was midweek and it was getting busier when I left BSS
As regards , the potential for Vivienne to get burn out , I think it is not helped when one girl does a no-show ( so only 4 others left to hold the fort ) .
This is surely exacerbated , due to Vivienne's popularity -
as I noted that the other punters were very willing to wait for Vivienne to be available - and not very keen to take her 3 other colleagues instead
- despite , them being attractive , to me .

Many thanks for the heads up on Natalie and I will make every effort to see her.

just to give the confirmation - I asked over the phone today with Newtown Sauna , and Natalie will be in NTS from next week for certain -
The receptionist ( lovely accent over the phone ) confirmed there is 3 on in the morning ( Jade , Lucy and Natalie ) and 3 in the afternoon on Tuesday onwards ...

I would say Kenny was far from blameless for the decline of new town. Gratuitous rudeness to the girls etc,he handed over a sauna with virtually no staff, but all these saunas are relying on rainmakers on the staff to bring in regulars, for every Vivienne there are 3 rubies. Blair st seems to benefit from the location, getting the tourists in,stag night boys, but some days, girls on the day shift are going home with 20£ in their handbag. hence double shifts are necessary.

Yeah I was going to say it was more Kenny seemed to cause the downfall.  Needs to be a middle ground between the draconian rules (Scott and kenny) and the walkover at LSS

That said if you know who to pick LSS can be OK though clearly not a patch on its prime

As far as management is concerned no one has come close to Justin at LSS in striking the correct balance mind you back then the only problem he really had was telling punters there was a two hour wait or informing wanabee LSS workers that unfortunately there were no situations vacant.
