The Wall Street banking industry may have collapsed in a heap of soiled derivatives, but that won't stop folks from indulging in the little things that make life bearable—like $1,000 lap dances. Gotta keep those economic "fundamentals" strong, you know. (amny.com; thumb via Reality Kings via Ask Jolene)

The U.S. State Department is advising Americans to avoid Bulgarian strip clubs due to recent turf war violence between rival gangs. So, you know ... that dream vacation package to the strip clubs of Bulgaria is probably going to have to wait. Shucks! (xbiz.com)

The NY Times quotes an outraged dad who sees all those sexy but non-explicit strip club ads on the top of NYC taxis and wonders what he's supposed to tell his young daughters they're trying to sell. Fortunately, the answer comes from a much more reasonable reader in the comments: "I tell my children that they sell hairspray, lots and lots of hairspray." (nytimes.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:35:34 EDT

Scores is a landmark institution in the New York strip club universe, but both locations are in danger of being shut down permanently because of all the, you know ... crime and stuff. How will our city's hedge fund managers blow their expense accounts on overpriced champagne now? (ap.google.com)

Heroic swimmer Michael Phelps once again demonstrates the famous reach and determination that won him eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. Wait until you see his breast stroke. (radaronline.com)

Despite having untold scores of pasty-faced conventioneers in town, Denver strip clubs are suffering from a bit of a lull this week. Since when do people prefer political speeches to bathtub shows? The solution is simple, however—next week's tech convention will set things right! Nerds to the rescue! (denverpost.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 09:30:19 EDT

The Las Vegas outpost of Scores strip club will attempt to set a world record for the most lap dances given during one song. Man, is that guy going to be sore in the morning. (avn.com)

Welcome To Iowa, Where Stripping Is An Art Form

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:45:11 EDT

There are no strip clubs in the state of Iowa, only "art centers" where women sometimes dance naked. Unfortunately, sometimes those women are 17 years old and happen to be the niece of a county sheriff, which leads to a whole heap of trouble. Man, we do not get modern art.

A Manhattan strip club owner is "shocked"...

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:05:18 EDT

A Manhattan strip club owner is "shocked" to learn that his VIP rooms might have been used for more than just lap dances and claims (from the jail cell where he is being held on prostitution charges) that he runs one of the "cleanest" clubs in town. Sounds convincing—until you hear from an old friend who used to work for him. That's not quite how Baby Sinead remembers it.... (nydailynews.com + babysinead.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:05:26 EDT

The slumping economy means fewer customers at strip clubs, but ironically enough, it also means more strippers since the pay is still better than most other jobs (which you can't get anyway, because the economy stinks.) The moral of the story? Ask about getting your unemployment checks in stacks of singles. (tbo.com; thumb via lust-hero.net, via Ask Jolene)

Kimberly Kane Komes Klean

Jonnobot — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:10:49 EDT

Usually when we get our paws on a new porn DVD here at Fleshbot Central we don't do much by way of preparation when it comes time to review it aside from making sure the fast forward button is in working order on our remote and that we have a supply of Handi Wipes at the ready just in case we ... uh, spill our caipirinhas while we're watching it. But when the delightful Kimberly Kane sent us a copy of her new Vivid Alt joint "Morphine" this week, it arrived with a suggestion that we check out this video clip first to better understand her reasons for making it. And now that we've heard Kimberly tell us all about her days working in a strip mall strip club-cum-quickie bordello ... well, we're more intrigued about "Morphine" than ever. (We also can't wait to see more of her flashing her panties at us. Pour yourself a caipirinha and join us after the jump so we can watch that clip together, won't you?)

On The Road Again

Jonnobot — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:25:21 EDT

So you have your handy GPS unit loaded up with the address of every strip club from Maine to California, but you're afraid of prying eyes getting all up in your Points Of Interest? Let Nudar's new Stealth GPS database show you the quickest way to the nearest "muffler shop" or "headlight service" instead? (They're really strip clubs, though! Get it?) (nudar.com)

An attempt to charge Texas strip club patrons...

Jonnobot — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:07:20 EDT

An attempt to charge Texas strip club patrons an additional five bucks that would go towards state sexual assault support services and health care for the poor was struck down this week as unconstitutional. Which is fine as far as we're concerned: we're all for helping victims, but when that five bucks could also mean one more surreptitious grope while we're shoving a bill down someone's g-string we totally have to draw the line somewhere. Times are tough enough these days for us too, you know? (avn.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:13:28 EDT

The U.S. economy has gotten pretty bad, but at least one sympathetic source is helping out—a strip club in Chile is offering to accept American dollars at 2004 exchange rates in order to lure in broke gringos. Because nothing helps soothe the pain of weak monetary policy like a nice lap dance. (bloomberg.com, via guanabee.com)

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 14:43:23 EDT

Remember that vegan strip club that opened like six weeks ago in Portland? Yeah, it's up for sale on Craigslist already. Serious buyers only, of course, because Craigslist is where serious businessmen go to buy serious businesses. (craigslist, via Gawker, via rivercitykitty.com)

Jonnobot — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:54:20 EDT

When it comes to strip clubs in downtown LA, there's classy and then there's ... uh, really classy. Being unrepentant sleaze fans ourselves we guess we'll just have to take Gridskipper's word for it, but it's nice to know they're there if we ever decide to treat ourselves to a fancy night on the town.

The owners of a Tampa area gentlemen's club were cited by police after putting up this eye-catching sign out front, but not for the reason you think: the bare ass was fine, but those flashy blinking lights have got to go. Seriously, show some class people! (myfoxtampabay.com)

When Lap Dances Go Wrong

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 10:20:27 EDT

A New York City banker is suing a strip club for what he says are "serious injuries" incurred during a tragic lap dancing accident. There was a lot of pain, but we're guessing not much suffering. (newsday.com, thumb via nshoneys.com)

Vegan Strip Clubs Are Serious Business

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:29:26 EST

The strip club steak dinner special is such a time-honored "manly man" tradition, that it never really seemed necessary to create something like a vegan strip club. Plus, no one really goes to those places to eat. But one hardcore vegan business owner has made that dream a reality at the Casa Diablo in Oregon, the world's animal-free strip joint. ("The only meat is on the pole!") The local news media could not be more thrilled, since it gives bored beat reporters the perfect opportunity to create an audition tape to be the next "Daily Show" correspondent. We just can't decide what's funnier: The stone-faced anchorman warning viewers to stay away from the upcoming objectionable content or his co-workers milking that salacious content for cheap ratings and cheaper jokes? We're going to head over to Burger King and chew on it some more.

Nudar: GPS For Boobies

Dashiell Bennett — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 12:30:02 EST

We've all been there before—driving down a lonely highway in the middle of night, not really sure where you are or if you have enough gas to make it to the next station, when suddenly a beacon rises above the horizon signaling the oasis you've been searching for: "Strip Club. Next Exit." But in this interconnected, wi-fi, super-surveyed world, why go through all that stress? Nudar wants to take the pain away by mapping the world ... the strip club world. They want to build a database of any place on Earth where you can find bare boobs—wet t-shirt bars, nude beaches, New Orleans—and then send that data to you anywhere in the world via your GPS device. It's like the tits come to you! Plus, this way when you run out of singles and end up face down in the parking lot, your loved ones will know where to come pick you up.
