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.

What a dog.
I know "no means no", but maybe if they'd stop wearing lingerie in public it wouldn't be such an issue. I mean that's the #1 reason I don't taunt the fellas by wearing my flannel granny gown out in public.
What does she do to bring on all the throng of admirers? And what or who is her husband doing while she's out clubbing with her girlfriends? If the clubs she frequents are so bad she needs 3 bodyguards, perhaps she should consider taking up knitting.
Skankorexic.
....hmmm, thats seems cheap...are there other perks to the job?
She's cute!
I think she needs to get off the "barf after every meal" diet.........
She needs a sammich or two!
See, that's why I don't let the twins out in public, all hell would break loose....
Flannel gets me hot.
Well, at bars, yes, but its ok to it here on FR.
Who the heck is Darcy Smith, and why should I care?
If you're going to go out in a shirt that screams "Grab my goodies!", I guess this makes sense...
Well alrighty then, here you go.
What do you think??
Ok, show's over....
Very nice. Your cam worked very well. Too bad the rest of the FReepers missed the show.
Not the type you bring to YOUR apartment.
(cough cough)
....over here!
