Four strippers have created an online petition to free accused pimp Jell-O Wallace. I urge everyone who hates injustice to sign this petition. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/strippers-sound-accused-denver-pimp-germaine-jell-o-wallace-busted-houston-article-1.1065708

In a recent discussion, shadowcat commented, "Actually I never sit in pervert row." This got me thinking about the phrase "pervert row", meaning the row of seats right beside the stage at a strip club. "Pervert…

A bonanza for strip clubs? http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/economicdevelopment/strip-clubs-preparing-for-rnc-bonanza/1226121 I'm skeptical. The GOP convention is not the Superbowl or NASCAR. Many delegates represent religious conservatives and "family values" voters. They want nothing to do with strip clubs. The hypocrites…

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi calls his wild parties "elegant dinners." This politician has the biggest balls in the western world. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Silvio+Berlusconi+says+strip+shows+were+burlesque+contests/6491119/story.html

The women with Jell-O Wallace said they were strippers, not prostitutes. Mr. Wallace asserts he is innocent of the charges of being a pimp, and I believe him because he has an honest face. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Man-sought-in-Colorado-prostitution-case-arrested-3496216.php

This story calls the Columbian strip club "seedy" and "dingy" and "cheesy." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2130422/Inside-seedy-Colombian-strip-club-Obamas-Secret-Service-agents-picked-prostitutes.html Looking at the pictures, I have to say I've visited worse clubs than this.

Woman who pole dances for fitness wants the sport "to shed it's [sic] stripper image." http://www.wdbj7.com/news/wdbj7-roanoke-woman-trains-for-a-statewide-pole-dance-fitness-competition-20120412,0,6611271.story I feel that the rules for pole dancing competition should specify that the competitor must remove her top at the minimum. This will keep…

The 2AM shootings don't worry me, because I don't go clubbing that late. But now I find that wild strippers can hop off the stage and kill patrons. http://www.statesman.com/news/local/dancer-gets-5-years-in-strip-club-death-2293073.html

Forbes has an article on how much strippers make. http://www.forbes.com/sites/susannahbreslin/2011/10/25/how-much-do-strippers-make/ This subject is always interesting to me, since we sometimes hear about the fabulous incomes earned by strippers. The writer mentions one dancer who made between $2200 and $3000 a month,…

After Sarah Tressler, the dancer who writes the blog "Diary of an Angry Stripper", was outed, she was fired from her regular job as a columnist for the Houston Chronicle. This got me thinking about the consequences of being…

I came across this review of a strip club by a college student: http://www.studlife.com/scene/2012/04/02/bare-necessities-in-east-st-louis/ I found the review rather amusing, especially the reviewer's complaints about the dancers: "Most of them were getting on in years (mid-twenties), and their ages were clearly showing."
