The Untouchable Gape Dolls of Macao
This article is a lightly-edited summary of our interview with Zhang X, a hospitality worker.
Full disclosure: This article has been approved (but not edited by) Zhang’s employer. We agreed to use a fictitious name for the business, but high-rollers in Macao casinos know exactly which one it is.
Zhang X works at the Goldenrod hotel casino in Macao. Macao is a Special Administrative Region of China, near the South China Sea. While it’s part of China, it has own laws and many cultural differences. For example, gambling and prostitution are legal there, but “procuring” (also known as pimping) is illegal. Like Las Vegas, Macao is known as “Sin City.”
Zhang is one of the notorious “untouchable gape dolls” of the Goldenrod, but she is hesitant to dive right into what it means. “It’s not that I’m embarrassed; quite the contrary, I’m proud of my achievements,” says Zhang. “It’s that a Western audience will not understand our role without some context.”
THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE
The Goldenrod hotel casino prides itself on customer service. Like in many other hotels, the lobby contains a large front desk with about twenty stations where hospitality workers help guests check in. At the Goldenrod, all of these workers are women. Beautiful women. “Westerners will probably think lobby employees are just there for looks. Just stupid airheads that don’t do anything substantive. That couldn’t be further from the truth,” says Zhang.
The front-line hospitality workers at the Goldenrod are trained to aspire to total excellence. A key part of that is knowing all the ins and outs of the facilities, the availability of the staff, the costs of amenities and budgets to keep guests happy. They have the power and authority to do whatever is needed and to spend whatever is needed to ensure the highest reviews from guests.
“Part of it is attitude,” Zhang says. “We would never say ‘Unfortunately, your room isn’t ready.’ Nothing is unfortunate for our lucky guests. Instead we say ‘As it turns out, your room isn’t ready, but that gives me the opportunity to make it up to you,’” she explains. It could be a free upgrade to a more expensive room, or storing their luggage and allowing free use of a recreation area, or any number of other solutions. Goldenrod girls have to learn about their guests and understand their every need so they can provide for it. They don’t just check guests in, they also act as a concierge service to solve any problems or requests that guests have.
“We’re not prostitutes,” she says, adamantly. “We don’t have sex with guests. We aren’t their escorts or dates. They literally cannot and would not touch us. But I also understand that I haven’t yet fully conveyed to your audience why that is yet.”
THE TOTAL PACKAGE
Goldenrod’s lobby workers must be highly intelligent, empathic, creative, resourceful, and polite to succeed. While the meat of their job is actually helping guests, they are taught to see all the superficial aspects to be important parts of the total package as well.
All the front desk workers are Pensa members, though this isn’t a requirement of the hotel. It’s just a natural consequence of the Goldenrod demanding the best. Just like how the public can tell when a smile is fake (the eyes don’t move enough during a fake smile), they can also tell when a girl isn’t plugged (she lacks the blushing cheeks and sexual energy that anal stimulation brings). Yet as impressive as these girls are, the Goldenrod has an even higher tier of service available.
THE G LOUNGE
Though a nondescript door in the lobby is the G Lounge. This is a smaller, classier, even more expensive-looking version of the main lobby. The G Lounge is for high-rollers only.
In the G Lounge, each greeting station has one screen high above and a second, duplicate screen at elbow height that displays a live camera feed of that woman’s ass. The G Lounge women, often called “gape dolls” wear classy assless dresses to enable the view. The cameras are at ground level, pointed diagonally up, looking right at their gapes. The G Lounge women all sport the same enormous 3.25” diameter anal gape.
“It probably sounds shocking to some, but it’s an exciting environment for our guests,” says Zhang. It’s impolite for guests to talk about it, but it’s expected for them to watch the monitors as they speak with the dolls. The G Lounge dolls are the absolute best of the best in customer service, and they do it even under the stress and discomfort of a such large gapes.
It takes extensive training in several areas to become a gape doll. Girls must work in the main lobby for a minimum of one year first, then training for the G Lounge takes another 6 months to 1 year, depending on the girl.
DAILY ROUTINE
Gape dolls work only four hour shifts per day in the G Lounge because of how physically demanding it is. They arrive somewhere between an hour and a half to two hours before their shift start in order to get prepared.
Zhang says the G Lounge dolls have their own preparation area, separate from the rest of the lobby’s staff. The first step is each girl strips off her street clothes, kneels at the base of her prep station (which is like a long bench) and leans forward so she’s in an “on all fours” position, but supported by the bench. Her knees rest on a padded, squishy floor which extra comfortable.
“There are eight stations side-by-side I think,” says Zhang. The girls all get ready together so that the support staff for dolls can go from girl to girl easily. “In case you think it’s embarrassing, I guess it is, but we’re all professionals. The preparation process is the key to our success.”
Once a girl is in position, a spreader is lowered to pull her ass cheeks apart and hold them that way. An enema technician removes the girl’s standard anal plug and inserts an enema hose. The enema technician will repeatedly fill and empty the girl’s asshole until its expelling completely crystal clear water. “We strive to be 100% clean,” says Zhang.
While the enema technicians work, hairstylists and makeup artists work on the girls’ other end. Hair and makeup each need quite a while to reach the levels of perfection expected of a gape doll, but this is never a problem because it happens in parallel with the anal preparations. Once the enema technicians finish, they make way for a stretching specialist to dilate the asshole.
Once the anal speculums are ratcheted to their regulation size of 3.25” wide, the stretching specialists insert a retention tube, then remove the speculum. The tube is a 5” long cylinder with very thin but strong walls. It holds the asshole open, but stays mostly out of sight. The retention tube has a flared flange at the base that prevents it from slipping inside. Zhang says these tubes are difficult to wear at first, which is why the gape dolls practice so much before ever going live with real guests.
Once the anal work is done, the tailors help dress the girls in perfectly pressed, clean, smooth, unwrinkled dresses. Each dress is tailored to exactly fit that girl’s proportions and curves and also tailored to have an aesthetically pleasing window that leaves her ass exposed. “Asses have to look good for the cameras,” Zhang reminds us.
“What I hope your Western readers can appreciate is that we are basically elevated to goddesses,” says Zhang. “Our appearance is flawless and tended to a whole team. Our demeanor and poise are the height of elegance. We strive to be the most capable concierges any of our guests have ever seen and we go to any length to meet their (non-sexual) needs.”
“I’ve never worked even a tenth as hard at another job as I have here. I now make ten times the money and I also have ten times the respect, so I’m exactly where I need to be,” says Zhang.
