"While Miley did show off some skills, we at SCORES cannot encourage this kind of behavior for women under the legal age. If she'd like to come try out in a couple of years, our door's open!"

- Ed Norwick, the general manager of NYC gentleman's club Scores, says that even he cannot condone tween Miley Cyrus's pole dancing performance seen on last night's Teen Choice Awards.

Stripper Music Radio Station - Hilarious or Horrifying?

TresSugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Alternative, hip-hop, country, rock, and now: lap dance. A radio station in Denver recently underwent a format change to become 101.5 The Pole, devoted to "classic nonstop stripper hits" from the '80s and beyond. Though it may just be a temporary stunt while the station transitions to an actual new format, The Pole is indeed spinning strip-centric hits until further notice. Do you think it's funny or foul?

What Do You Know About Strip Clubs and the Recession?

TresSugar — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 04:00:00 -0700

Strip clubs have seen a hit to profits thanks to the recession. Men still want to see naked women dance for them, but they have less money to spend on high-end perks like steak dinners and pricey cigars. The Wall Street Journal wrote a piece this week all about how the economy has impacted the live adult entertainment industry.

The strip club industry might be the last on your list of industries to bail out, but the hard times aren't so good for the women who strip - they're getting hired for less, and taking home less money in tips. Test your intuition and take this quiz to find out what you know about strip clubs.

Interpretive Stripping by Adonis: Men of Hollywood

GiggleSugar — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:00:00 -0800

But wait. I haven't even gotten to the best part yet. They're stripping to Simply Red's "If You Don't Know Me By Now." C'mon, dudes. You call that stripping? Touching your long, flowing locks? Caressing your ripped abs? If women strippers took off that little they'd be booed off the stage! I want to know what's underneath those high-waisted, acid washed jeans! (Well, not really.) I guess when your audience is made up of cute little aunties and grandmas, it makes sense. Cheese factor: 10.

Georgia Town Spends $1 Million to Buy and Close Strip Club

CitizenSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 06:00:35 -0700

What's more important than upgrades to a water treatment plant? Flushing smut down the drain. Lavonia, GA officials scraped together a million bucks to buy the local strip club, Café Risqué (ooh la la) and not because they wanted a side business for a little extra cash. They bought the sucker so they could close it right down.

The mayor received a standing ovation when he announced the deal - and then promptly showed he meant business by having crews rip down the highway signs advertising the joint and burning them in a huge bonfire (talk about a Red Light district.) The town had been trying to get rid of the club for years, and not until they spent the money that could have gone for water treatment upgrades and bought the place could they circumvent court rulings that said nude dancing was a constitutionally protected form of expression.

The town now has an ordinance outlawing adult entertainment businesses. Was the $1 million well spent? Do you suppose it was all in ones?

Should the Law Consider a Striptease Performance Art?

LibertySugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:45:35 -0700

The future of (public) nude dancing in Iowa depends on the legal answer to one question: is stripping art? Iowa's ~~strip clubs~~ performing arts centers are under legal attack, after an underage patron's performance sparked a court battle. Iowa's public indecent exposure laws forbid all-nude strip clubs, but artists still dance naked at "performing art centers."

Back in 2001, the underage niece of a sheriff decided to bare all at the establishment Shotgun Geniez, dragging the owner into court to argue that the law does not apply here because it exempts theater, concert hall, art center, and museum performances.

The club in question, which usually prevents under 18 year olds from entering, sells posters and provides sketch pads for patrons. While the owner argues that she did not violate Iowa's public indecent exposure law because the dancing is art, the prosecution says the facts are clear: an underage girl stripped, case closed.

If the case makes it up to the state supreme court, there may be a state-wide decision regarding whether naked dancing equals art. How do you think the court should treat subjective standards like "art" and "indecency?"

You Might Want to Rethink That Title

GiggleSugar — Thu, 22 May 2008 12:00:00 -0700

It's unfathomable how this title could cross the desks of editors, designers, and publishers without someone mentioning its other interpretation to poor Eleanor. But no one did, and there she is, standing tall and proud on the cover, waving her hand in the air like she just don't care. You can find the book on Amazon, where you'll also find a featured picture (see below) of a quilt casually tossed onto a chair. Tossed from where and off of whom is the question . . .

Disco Ernie: The 88-Year-Old Male Stripper

GiggleSugar — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 02:00:00 -0700

He's 88 years of age and he ain't ashamed to show it! When I say "it," I mean it. That's right, Disco Ernie is a working stripper, mmmkay? He can't thrust his hardened hips back and forth, for fear of breaking one, but he does a damn good job of seducing the ladies. Gramps does 100 situps "everyday, or almost everyday, or every other day" - how the hell is he supposed to remember? - but his ~~washboard~~ washed up stomach speaks for itself. Ernie's routine consists of him showing off his prized "abs" and waving his arms around for ten (or realistically five) minutes. Bibbidi-bobbidi-eeeew!

The Tyra Show: America's Next Top Strip Club

GiggleSugar — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 01:00:00 -0800

Talk, talk, talk: Tyra's over it. So she and her "jean posse" collected a gang of girls in denim, lined them up in front of a rolling camera, and made them all drop trou in order to ~~give the gals a better fitting pair of pants~~ spike the ratings. Miss Banks used this opportunity to publicly undress herself as well and then raised her hands in the air as if this were the most triumphant moment on TV since that waif of a woman fainted on ANTM . . . cuz no one saw that one coming!

Subway Stripper

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 12:30:00 -0800

This guy is practicing ~~random acts of kindness~~ random acts of grossness on the subway. I'm surprised no one's clocking him-but I know I'd laugh my ass off if this happened on my way to work. Then I'd have to tell an officer I found a suspicious package on the train. You know, like you're supposed to.
