No, you're eyes are not deceiving you.
No you are not experiencing a hallucination.
There is actually an article in The Guardian about strip tease that is positive. Go here and read it and make some positive noises as well. In fact go there quickly before Polly Toynbee finds out and has it deleted.
The comments make predictable reading of course, but for The Guardian to publish something like this is quite frankly unprecedented. The author, Susannah Breslin is running a blog project, 'Letters from Men that Go To Strip Clubs', which is as it says and maybe its worth a visit, you can find it here and make a contribution as well.
This is all happening right in Objects backyard and maybe this signals a change in perceptions, then again maybe not, but still its better than the kind of stuff we are used to reading....
Its been a better year than I dared imagine for the industry and Object and its group of middle class supporters have suffered defeat after defeat....
The Horns opened in Islington,
Wildcats, Red Leopard, Black Diamond, Liberte, The Purple Door, Silks and Deep Blue in Leeds all had their licenses renewed,
Urban Tiger was re-licensed in Northampton,
Portsmouth has allowed its existing club to stay open (also Wiggle won its planning appeal as well so will be staying open. Never mind eh Charlie),
Leamington Council rejected the Nil Cap so Amara stayed open and Shades got its licence,
Newmarket rejected the Nil Policy so Heaven Awaits remains open.
When I started writing in this blog in January, I hoped that it would act as a focus for opposition to the Nil Policy enthusiasts. I never imagined that almost 28,000 page views later that we see so so many successes and Object trading out of a flat in South London.
This is not a time to be complacent though, prohibitionists are almost certainly planning to cause some kind of trouble, but for the time at least, the pressure is off. So go and visit 'Letters from Men That Go To Strip Clubs' and tell the world why you are part of the scene.
Haha! yeah i saw that article today too. Was quite surprised to see a pro lap dancing club article in the Guardian of all places! although i didn't agree with all that was said and there were a number of inaccuracies. For example i have never been to a club where you have to tip a girl to chat to her. I also don't think going to a lap dancing club is a rites of passage or that young persons have become so desenistised that they find them tame.
ReplyDeleteI notice a number of the comments ask the question why do you need strip clubs when you have porn on the internet? It's a bit like saying why pay to watch a live band when you could listen to the cd at home instead. The ignorance of some people never ceases to amaze
That appears to be without doubt terrific. A good number of teeny facts are meant experiencing great deal of background abilities. I will be interested the thing a large amount. hire Albany strippers
