Burlesque Balloon Babe Braves Big Bong ... Er, Gong

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 10:28:00 EDT

Yes, we're still watching The Gong Show every week, but only because we're awaiting the glorious return of The Unknown Comic. (Ask your parents.) Fortunately, we are still occasionally entertained by some of the acts that come through there, like the appropriately-named Katie Balloons, who proves that balloon fetishism is alive and well—as if we needed the reminder—and you still can't show bare boobs on basic cable. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Old Strippers Never Die, They Just Use Less Body Glitter

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:42:41 EDT

It's not often we stumble across a story about a stripper who is old enough to be our grandmother, but to find two in one day—well, that just makes us think of our own aging relatives and that always kills the mood. It also makes us wonder if we'll still be blogging when we're 80, because the side-by-side tales of two strippers still shaking their goods for audiences past the age of 75 teaches us that if you find a job you're really good at, you might be stuck there for awhile. Maybe they've stopped doing acrobatic pole maneuvers—but if you strutted your stuff for Frank Sinatra and banged Elvis before he was bloated, you can pretty much call your own shots.

We Can All Strip For YouStrip

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 12 May 2008 14:45:53 EDT

Stripping is the world's oldest art form and probably the easiest: everyone knows how to get undressed, so all stripping involves is doing it ... you know, sexy like. OK, so maybe it's not that easy to do well, but surely performing a decent striptease is well within everyone's grasp? YouStrip is exactly what it sounds like: the "Strip" part means it features lots of strippers and the "You" part is there because all web video sites must have that word in the URL. It's completely devoted to short homemade striptease clips: they provide the server space, the promotional tools, and even the background music and you provide the ass or boobs or whatever you feel like showing off. But will anyone else be willing to provide the cash to get to the bonus clips and prizes? Don't worry, freeloaders—you can still get plenty of (tantalizingly brief) boobage. Just like a real strip club, but without the drink minimum!

How Brooklyn Became The Naughtiest Place In "Naughty America"

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:00:00 EDT

When we tell friends that we've been invited to a "porn party," they usually think that we're headed to some wild and crazy freakfest where everyone gets naked, drunk, and very hands on with a gaggle of sexy pornstars. Then we have to crush their spirits by explaining that porn parties are usually dull, fully-clothed affairs with expensive drinks and a guy-to-girl ratio roughly equal to a frat house on a Tuesday night. Until we found ourselves at the classy and staid 507 Bar and Grill in Brooklyn on Saturday night, just as it was being taken over by Naughty America and five of its more, uh ... rambunctious female stars. Let's just say that it wasn't your typical porn party ... and that Ava Devine is a bit of a troublemaker.

A changing of the guard at our globetrotting...

Jonnobot — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:57:38 EDT

A changing of the guard at our globetrotting sibling site Gridskipper brings in a new editor this week; fortunately, their ongoing committment to the noble cause of stripping stewardesses remains the same. The more things change ... (gridskipper.com)

Following in their own illustrious footsteps,...

Following in their own illustrious footsteps, our globetrotting siblings at Gridskipper continue to go stripping stewardess crazy this week with this vintage clip showing a Braniff International hostess making the skies even more friendlier and one of her more contemporary colleagues enjoying some topless down time in her backyard ... although we guess we should more properly call her a "flight attendant". The "stripping" part, however, still applies. (gridskipper.com)

The Top Ten Hottest Webcam Babes (More Or Less)

Fleshbot — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 13:53:27 EDT

Other people's top ten lists are always a dicey proposition no matter what the subject matter is, but especially where amateur exhibitionists on YouTube are concerned: with an entire generation of camcorder-wielding hotties exposing themselves while the latest Beyoné track blares tinnily in the background, how can anyone determine which are the best among them? That said, we think the folks at Uber.com did a pretty good job in collecting this assortment of clips which definitely deserve a place in anyone's fall of fame. They may not be your top ten, but they'd probably at least rank in our top one hundred if we ever get the opportunity to put a list like this together ourselves.

Here are some new photos of Lindsay Lohan enjoying a night on the town ... or playing a stripper in her new movie. We're not sure which. (Yes, we're going to keep making that joke. What, do you want your money back?) (celebpixx.blogspot.com)

Morning Wood: Keeley Hazell Is Big Down Under

· She might have barely cracked the top 60 in this hemisphere, but Keeley Hazell is at least still the sexiest woman in the world according to FHM's Austalian readers. Which proves that Australia is even more sensible than we may have given them credit for. (brisbanetimes.com.au, via hollywoodtuna.com)

Morning Wood: We're Not In It For The Money Anyway

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 10:27:27 EST

· It seems that quite a few people are taking issue with The New York Times' quoting that "porn is $13 billion-a-year industry" figure that is often claimed. Let's just all start using the figure "$100 umptytittytwisterjillion-a-year" from now on to avoid any more arguments in the future, k? (Boing Boing)

Pole for the Soul

Fleshbot — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 09:50:44 EST

We're still a little slack-jawed over the prospect of all those suburban soccer moms sweating their way to tighter buns via strip aerobics classes in major gym chains, but we guess that the mainstreaming of stripper moves can only be a good thing for everyone involved: more exercise for the masses and more ogling for the rest of us. While Seattle-based Pole for the Soul holds private classes, they've done us all the favor of posting photos and videos showing what exactly goes on in a room with three poles. Things might be a little awkward in those beginning and intermediate classes, but no one ever said those moves were easy ... and besides, practice makes perfect.-AR
