Looks like they're rolling out the red carpet for the guard

Wait, did the pink palace reopen? I thought it got shut down with a federal raid back in the 2000's and never reopened?
Open legs is more like it. Amirite?!
I believe Platinum Plus was what was shut down. The Pony has been open for at least 15 years in Memphis, not that I would know.
If you're talking about the Purple Church (Platinum Plus) not only was it shutdown, it was torn down. Used car dealership now.
In a Pony related note, that TN game weekend should be, shall we say, "smothering with activities"
Travesty. So many prayers were said and maybe answered in that building.
I think we had a Tiffany’s in Jackson back in the day. Or so I’ve heard.
Damn. I probably need to be tested for dementia if I can't remember such an iconic american landmark that was so influential in the lives of graduates from Mississippi State and elsewhere.
Yeah over near Northside Drive and Meadowbrook Road. Err, not that I'd know.
What's the betting line that the talent in the picture will be the actual type talent that will be doing the wrestling? My bet is it will look more my 600 lb life than these two ladies.
What separated Tiffany's from The Mt. Moriah Performing Arts Center in Memphis back in the day was location. Tiffany's was in a little bit more of a sketchy area (even moreso today). Back in the day, Platinum was in a relatively nice part of town (these days, not so much). But they were fairly equal in quality.
Again, allegedly.

Lainey Wilson told a pretty damn funny story about HARDY taking her to this very event at their Memphis location on Theo's podcast a couple of weeks ago.
Honestly, who thinks of this stuff? That's not something that remotely makes me want to get involved...
I read my 600 lb life wrong and thought wow, you've got a lot of woman.
I remember hearing about some guys getting kicked out of Platinum because one guy ran out of ones and decided to throw napkins during the trio of goodness show.
They then went to King of Clubs where you aren't thrown out unless you shot the wrong person.
I assume that King of Clubs has to be shut down by now.

True story, rednecks from the GTR came up on Bachelor party. I told them to behave in the Purple Church. We aren't there 10 minutes and a stripper, trying to drum up business, bends over shakes it in one boys close proximity at the table. Ole boy, gooses her with a long neck bottle. Girl quick as lightening spins around and slaps ole boy. Ole boy took exception to this and stood up. Bouncer had ole boy in a sleeper hold quicker than we could realize. Long story short we all got kicked out 10 minutes in.
It's gone incredibly viral though. I have a several non sports fans friends in different parts of the country that have reached out asking my thoughts...
Just add gambling to it and it'd be the male trifecta
You have not bar hoped until you bar hop in Philippine Islands. I always designated the Non-Drinking NCO. I went with a bunch of Marines and held their wallets. Long neck bottle is nothing. I saw a women sit on a long neck bottle with 8 dollars of quarters. Stand up and the quarters are gone. She then counted out dollar amount and dropped that many quarters. Ya'll can keep your lame frat stories. Go to Wisper Alley in Okinawa City or the Naha Music Club in Naha City Okinawa. That's hard-core stuff not this weak *** titty bar in Memphis.
Was Tiffany's the one on Lakeland in the building now occupied by Bonsai? Circa early to mid 90s?
Dear God, don't let my Dad tell his stories when he was in 3rd Recon Battalion in the Philippines in 1963. They will make you blush...well, probably not you. He was in Vietnam in 1963 before the war started reconing the shoreline for an amphibiansous attack. With that 15 foot drop off 5 foot from the shore they never found, or needed, to do a landing.
Here's the ship he was on...I know not many give a **** but read the Vietnam era, that was my Dad and 15 other dudes. They went in teams of 8.

Friend used to manage a bar in downtown Birmingham back in the day. Not even a strip club. He had a lot of stories. Short version, don’t cause trouble in his bar. If you do you’re getting your *** kicked. And then you’re the one going to jail.
