PRIVATE BOUNCER

If you want to flirt with Darcy Smith, beware. You'll have to get through her personal bouncer first.

Brendan Reed, a 6-foot-5, 315-pound tough guy Smith affectionately calls "the medium-sized one," is one of three muscle-bound diplomats Smith uses to ward off admirers when she goes clubbing with her friends.

For $10 an hour plus expenses, Reed ensures that unwanted Romeos don't start dirty dancing or asking for the women's phone numbers.

"Some men can be really aggressive," said Smith, a 30-something entrepreneur from South Orange, N.J. "It makes the experience a lot more pleasant. My bodyguard's my most valued accessory."

A free-lance bouncer trained in judo, Reed hovers stealthily in the background of bars and clubs, and Smith often forgets he's there.

"Guys don't know when to draw the line," said Reed, who goes out with groups of women three to four times a month. "The club scene is getting worse. Bouncers [at the door] are there to collect their money and go home. They don't care" what happens on the dance floor.

Smith is married and owns the West Village restaurant Andavi with her husband David Kokakis. But waving her ring does little to dissuade cocky New Yorkers.

He probably speaks like Sylvester Stallon as Rocky Balboa, "woa, Andrienne!"

Smith is married and owns the West Village restaurant Andavi with her husband David Kokakis. But waving her ring does little to dissuade cocky New Yorkers.

Q: If she is married, what (in the hell!) is she doing hanging around in nightclubs by herself?

A: She is an attention-seeking Barbie who gets validation by encouraging men to buy her drinks and hit on her. Only she has taken her arrogance one step further by hiring Sluggo, here, to do her dirty work and weed out the more officious members of the male population that she amuses herself by attracting.

Her husband must be a real moron.

[SweetCaroline]

Right, but don't tell him we missed him cause you know how he gets!

[teenyelliott]

How much you wanna bet she's a skanky ho?

[Dashing Dasher]

I certainly hope that you did not forget the point and laugh.

YES!
And nudged others while I pointed and laughed to share the bliss.

[Dashing Dasher]

I picture him saying, YO, DASHER!!!

Wanna do it again?

[peacebaby]

too gross a visual, dear. He's not for you.

[Millee]

OR her husband is in another night club across town checking the action out.

I agree though, I wouldn't go to a night club without my husband. When I do meet a girlfriend for a drink it is either at a restaraunt or at one of our homes for dinner.

[PaulaB]

There is so much red tape!!!

If you don't see me for a while call 911 cause I'll be buried under it

[PaulaB]

Amen

[Thombo2]

"What does she do to bring on the throng of admirers?"Well sober she isn't that attractive,but back in my partying days after a "few" drinks i probably would of hit on her.I suspect hiring bouncers to keep agressive men away is more an issue of vanity(ego)for her.

[teenyelliott]

That whole curlers thing has always confused me.

So, you fix your hair so that you look better, which means you give a crap about your appearance.

But then you have those who will go out in public with said curlers still in, obviously not giving a crap how they look.

So why do they bother to fix their hair in the first place?????

[SweetCaroline]

....yea,when I was a bartendar most of the guys would stop what they were doing when they saw a guy hit on me. If I was handling it ok I would nod, if I didn't nod they would come over and just stand behind the guy, which would make him leave.

I don't know what happened after they left, but most never came back????

[daku]

you have to hand it to this ravishing beauty who no mortal man can resist ...

A bodyguard to act as a final barrier to the faction of mankind who after incontrollable lust overcomes any decorum of society, has only one last impulse ...

to throw caution to the wind and -

note: I've grown tired of writing this nonsense

Hey lady, button your blouse

[DJ MacWoW]

I could solve uglys problem for her. Since she's married, she could STAY THE HE!! HOME. Her "type" embodies what's wrong with the younger set.

[SweetCaroline]

....Why didn't he take his laptop???

He'll be having the shakes from withdrawls anytime now!

[Dashing Dasher]

I believe he is in meetings and they might frown on him hitting on his Freepettes while he's supposed to be paying attention.

[BJClinton]

Mmmmm...baby feeders...

Crap! Was that my out loud voice?

[verity]

New Yawkers - - what else can one expect.
