The 20th Season Of The Real World Offers A House Of Horrors
Last night was the premiere of the 20th season of The Real World, and as you may have seen, some of the roommates are pretty awful. Another hateable guy was Will, who seems to have a crush on every girl in the house, particularly the one who dresses like a stripper. But when he found out that she actually is a stripper, he became giant dick by stereotyping her and deciding that she's the kind of girl that he would "make fun of." Clip above.

Bad Girls Club: When Strippers Attack
Darlen is by far the most physical of any of the Bad Girls. In last night's episode, she expressed her desire to change her ways — marked by drunken, violent debauchery — and be a better mother. But when the girls went out for their friend's Halloween birthday party and a bitchy queen poured a drink on the birthday boy's head, she lost her shit, chased him down on the street and beat the crap out of him. To be fair, the guy was really asking for it (he was obviously just looking for a little camera time), and watching a stripper dressed as a stripper in a cop costume was actually really satisfying.

Dallas Club With 12-Year-Old Stripper Will Pay No Price
There's the old saying that fifteen can get you twenty, but in Dallas, Texas, it seems that twelve will get you no punishment whatsoever. Diamonds Cabaret, a Dallas-area strip club, is keeping its license even after it was discovered that the business employed a 12-year-old stripper for two weeks last year. According to Newsweek, the sixth grade runaway had no place to go, so she shacked up with David Bell, 22, and Diamond dancer Demonica Abron, 28. At first, Bell tried to fashion the tween into a prostitute, but she refused. So he took her to the Diamond Cabaret, a place described by Newsweek as located "in a dilapidated office park next to a business that rents hot tubs by the hour." More »
Pleasure & Pain
Here in New York City, a man has filed a suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against a strip club after an employee allegedly poked him in the eye with her high heel during a lap dance. Stephen Chang claims he "sustained serious personal injuries" in November when the stripper "suddenly swung around, striking [him] in the eye with the heel of her shoe." The manager, identified as Lou, says: "We didn't have any reported accidents. We have a first-aid kit, and we would have treated the guy or called an ambulance." Chang might actually be hurt — and embarrassed— but you know what Lou could have said? "Hey, consider yourself lucky — some places charge extra for that." [NY Daily News]

Virginia Is For Covers
Horrors! We are living in a country where adults going to strip bars might actually see nipples. That's why Delegate John A. Cosgrove has sponsored a bill in Virginia to get pasties on topless dancers. The legislation, which goes into effect in July, says a business can have its mixed-beverage license suspended or revoked if there is "entertainment commonly called stripteasing, topless entertaining, or entertainment that has employees who are not clad both above and below the waist." Actually, the law already exists and has been around for a while, but authorities did not enforce it and club owners knew they could get away with having totally topless dancers. But thanks to Mr. Cosgrove — and tax dollars — we'll never have to worry about bare areolas in Virgina again. [Reason.com]

Strippers And Sex Workers On Conventions: Republicans, Nerds Make Best Customers
It's the day after Super Tuesday, and there are still so many unknowns about the upcoming political conventions. But if you've been alive for a few years, you probably know there is one very known known about them: They're like 1929 for the sex work business! Strippers and hookers reap funds like Ron Paul's website! And the news media eats that shit up. Of course, not all conventions were created equal, reports yesterday's Rocky Mountain News, hometown newspaper of the city hosting this years Dem Convention. Says longtime hooker Carol Leigh: "Computer conventions can be lucrative. There's a lot of nerds that don't get out much... It would be a lot better for the sex workers if it was the Republican convention. We get a lot more business. I don't know if they're just frustrated because of the family values agenda..." Hmmmm, think there's something to that? Don't answer that! More »

Rock Of Love: Angelique Is One Less Frog Bret Will Have To Kiss
After getting completely naked for Bret pretty much every time she was in his presence, French stripper Angelique's tour of duty came to a close on last night's episode of Rock of Love. The G-string that broke the camel's back was the one Angelique flung off during what was supposed to be a burlesque dance at Forty Deuce, a club that does not allow nudity. Clip above, and after the jump, we bear witness to what went down in some special screen shots. More »
Ruble-Rousing
In Moscow, a working woman in her 30s will meet friends for drinks... at a club with male strippers. Did someone say cocktail? According to a report by Reuters, Moscow has over 40 advertised strip clubs, and a third offer male strippers. "The average western woman, if she were to go to a male striptease, would be considered somewhat of a pervert," says a 29 year-old American teacher while watching scantily-clad men dance. "Here women appreciate the male body. There's no concern about traditional values." Vladimir Gagarin, the manager of one club (the English name of which is "Little Red Riding Hood") says the appeal is social and not sexual. "Girls come here to speak to each other, the bouncers, the waiters and the dancers heart to heart. They have a shoulder to lean on." A 26-year-old woman who declined to give her name agrees: "Sometimes we ask the dancers out and take them to dinner and coffee, it's a nice way to make friends." Haha, what big eyes you have!

Bad Girls Club: Don't Cross A Stripper, 'Cause She'll Fight You In A Bikini
Even though she made a bad first impression on us, we've actually really grown to like Darlen, the skinny bitch from Bad Girls Club. It turns out that Neveen and Hanna are the biggest assholes in the house. Ever since Cordelia — the one who's appeared in pornos — talked earnestly about her career as a stripper and what sort of stuff she's into sexually (anal!), Neveen and Hanna have openly mocked her relentlessly. (Seriously, those girls are evil assholes, and sadly, the way they call Darlen and Cordelia "dumb slut" and "stupid whore" makes us want to reach through the TV and flick them on the forehead.) In the clip above, Darlen, pissed at Neveen and Hanna's blatant disrespect for her roommate and for sex workers in general, morphs into "Captain Save A Ho" and stands up for her friend. The fight gets like beer-commercial sexy though, as one of Darlen's breasts keeps falling out of her bikini, and Neveen decides to pour milk all over her.
