• The Greatest Dive Bars: The Clermont Lounge

  We were in Atlanta over the 4th of July weekend to see Tom Waits play on his rare and limited-date US tour, for which we drove down from Brooklyn. After the show, a cute and rather innocent female we knew suggested, almost offhandedly, that we might enjoy this place called the Clermont Lounge... Read More...

• Sloppy Seconds: The Million-Dollar Strip Club Buy

  Do you want your kids playing with Pregnant Paper Dolls? We guess so long as it's not Jamie Lynn Pregnant Paper Dolls... Lies and attacks usually help: McCain now trails Obama by a mere three points nationally.  We'd say the woman who witnessed all of the following might actually win a case against her lawyer boss...

• Where Have All the Strippers Gone?

  According to this article in the Toronto Star, gone are the days when strip clubs saw a $20 in every g-string and a dancer on every lap...at least in Toronto. It seems the number of strippers in the city has declined from 2,834 in 1998 to 1,254 certified strippers in 2007. But what could be causing the rapid decline of the exotic dance industry?

• Stripper Pole Company Developing Stripping Game For The Wii

  Forget what we told you about Wii Fit, which is already sold out in the UK and will soon be sold out here (although it isn't even on sale yet): the new #1 game of all time is going to be this: Wii Strip. According to ABC News, Peekaboo, a company that makes at-home DIY-stripper poles (such as the one pictured above-- model MILF not included), is in talks with Nintendo to make your boyfriend's dreams a reality...

• Stripper Pole Brailled For Art's Pleasure

  Hmmmm... Although we admire the artistic conceit here -- embossing a gentlemen's club fixture with a Braille description of a striptease, thus assigning a tactile narrative to something that is often beyond the reach of its audience -- we also can't get past the fact that artists Anetta Mona Chisa & Lucia Tkacova have basically created the world's most diseased-looking stripper pole. Or maybe that's part of the gag? Posted Apr 07 2008, 11:25 AM by Bryan Christian with | with no comments Filed under: strip clubs, strippers, art smut, Braille

• Guess All Those Strippers Fatally Obscured The Allure Of Vegan Food

  Hey, remember when we told you about that Portland strip club that was attempting to mix vegan cuisine with naked ladyparts? Yeah, well, according to Fleshbot, you can currently find it up for sale. So sorry, Johnny Diablo; we thank you for the memory, and we're sure Portland thanks you for the mammaries. This really leaves us with only one question: which one of you lucky Pacific Northwest strip clubs is gonna pony up for the services of that lovely lady up there, huh? God, we've been crushing on her for, like, weeks. Not that we've ever seen her at her job or anything -- but we can almost guarantee you that she won't come in to work smelling like beef!

• Strip Clubs: The New Red Zone

  Iraq has the Red Zone, one of its most dangerous neighborhoods (although statistics are somewhat unscientific due to all the scientists having fucking left.) America now has its own Red Zone, which is apparently a fifty-mile radius surrounding your local strip club. First there was Sean Bell, although we're pretty sure the groom-to-be's wedding day death was not the first strip club shooting. Today, we received word of a man suing a New York City strip club for injuries suffered while receiving a lap dance. And no, it wasn't that kind of injury... Read More...

• No Meat in the Champagne Room. Or the Kitchen.

  Diabolic Portland entrepreneur Johnny Diablo first tried to get people to eat vegan style by creating Pirate's Tavern, a short-lived theme restaurant that was supposed to capitalize on the inexplicable success of those Johnny Depp movies to spread the gospel of cruelty-free food. But that didn't work, so when he was planning his latest venture, Casa Diablo, he went for a gimmick that's a little more tried and true: tits and ass. Read More...

• Science Calls It Quits After Developing GPS For Boobies: "What More Could You Want, Dammit?"

  Not everyone was born with the ability to stick their nose in the wind, sniff the air, and triangulate the position of the nearest collection of sweetly perfumed ladyparts.But have no fear: even if you've never been in an LA hair band, there is still hope.

  We're wondering what a smart girl was doing in Gallhager's 2000 last night. There have got to be some classier joints around the city, no?  Posted Dec 07 2007, 03:33 PM by Emily Farris with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: missed connection, craigslist, strip clubs
