“C’mon FuelMix, let’s go check out My Way Platinum…!” said the peripherally acquainted fag whom FuelMix had run into on the streets of Wanchai.  “I’ve had a tiring day and I need to de-stress heheheheheh……….” He winked lasciviously while blowing a kiss.

“Why there…..!!??” shrieked FuelMix, slightly aghast.

“Well I figure you haven’t shown up there for a while and neither have I.  Let’s go see what’s happening …….and I know you don’t wanna go to Gateway or QQ Fitness……so what other choice is there around here since Towel Club folded?

“HHHmmm….” thought FuelMix, “he has a point.  “A blog update is probably in order”.

On a Wednesday evening around 7pm entry to My Way Platinum was HK$130.00.  The space is very large but extremely cluttered.  It looked even more cluttered since FuelMix did his earlier reviews.  There is no design ethos to speak of.  There’s just………. well……..clutter………. augmented by hundreds of pictures on the walls of hunky Oriental guys and beaded curtains.  The décor is fully capable of driving a person nuts.  The management thoughtfully added to the clutter by hanging a skeleton in the Locker Area plus Halloween decorations all over the place.

The original second lounge, which was also the TV lounge, no longer exists.  That space has been turned into an extension of the Dark Area, with corridors and additional private and communal play spaces.  Navigate this additional space and tucked away at the end, is a re-designed second lounge with a flat screen TV and wide divan seating for groups.

In a nutshell, My Way Platinum doesn’t score for design or intuitive layout (compare Club Houzz), but kudos for a very large, clean Dark Area and the impressive Wet Area. They are still the highlights of this place………..

Which is more than can be said for the clientele – predominantly 20- something chinks - and there were a lot of them mid- week.  The place has no difficulty drawing them in.  There were also guys in their 20s and 30s that used to haunt Towel Club.  Admittedly some of the clientele in My Way that evening  were pretty muscular, but 99.99% of the general clientele had the attitudinal allure of a nasal drip.

That’s the biggest let down of this place.  It’s precisely that attitude that is guaranteed to breed the next generation of emotionally fucked-up fag, trying so hard to look hot and fierce.

And boy………these 20 something fags smoke like there’s no tomorrow.  And for some of them, there probably won’t be.

Really, what this place needs is a tsunami of gay invaders from places like Alexander, Central Escalator and Club Houzz.  My Way has the right play spaces, but totally the wrong attitudinal clientele.  What those  self-proclaimed pretty boys need is a good shock.
