Memphis Escorts In The News.

Sleaze-o-meter
Last week, Men’s Health magazine released a list of America’s “smuttiest” cities, and guess what? Memphis made the cut. But for a city where local government is constantly discussing stripper etiquette, we’re remarkably low in the rankings, coming in at number 75, just behind Little Rock and well behind Nashville (#49). The methodology used by Men’s Health apparently placed a lot of weight on softcore porn consumption and completely ignored city council member Janis Fullilove’s letter of apology from the hot summer of 2010, which began with the words, “Yes, I was on the pole.”
Elvinomic Indicator?
Elvis is making another comeback. Not the singer, but the name. In 2011, the Social Security Administration reported that Elvis had fallen off the list of top 1,000 American baby names for the first time since 1954, the year “That’s All Right” was released by Sun Studio. This raised an important question for Memphis tourism: Would all the newly minted Jacobs and Isabellas visit Graceland wh …

A City Council committee today will hear a request from councilman Shea Flinn to study his idea for an “adult entertainment district” for strip clubs and other adult-oriented businesses.
“I’m expecting a lot of questions and some opposition,” Flinn said. “I understand it, but hopefully it gets into an intellectual exercise and not a time for moralizing.”
Flinn’s proposal would create a committee that would take 60 days to look at the feasibility of such a district, as well as finding a site for the zone and establishing a nine-member “Adult Entertainment Commission” charged with regulating the businesses.
Flinn says the plan would remove strip clubs and other sex-oriented businesses from commercial and residential neighborhoods while creating revenue for the city from beer sales and licensing and permit fees.
In addition to council members, the committee Flinn is proposing would include members from the Shelby County District Attorney General’s office, the Memphis Police Department, the Economic Development Growth Engine board, the City Attorney’s office and the County Commission.

Establishing an adult entertainment district in a city is admittedly not an appealing prospect.
Looking at the matter from a practical standpoint, there is a market for that kind of entertainment and it can be a revenue generator for the city.
Memphis City Councilman Shea Flinn wants the council to create a committee to study the idea. The council is scheduled to weigh the proposal Tuesday.
Flinn’s plan would remove strip clubs and other sex-oriented businesses from the commercial and residential neighborhoods they currently occupy and put them into what is commonly known as a red-light district. It might also exempt the businesses from a tough new Shelby County ordinance that prohibits the sale of alcohol in sex-oriented businesses.
By no means are we ready to endorse creation of a red-light district in Memphis, but it’s an idea worth studying.

But, now Memphis is out of that business. Strict Shelby County Laws banning nudity when there are alcohol sales went into effect January 1. Most strip clubs have opted out in order to continue to serve beer, making them more like bikini bars.
So, the council will consider a resolution that would create a committee to look at the issue, find the area for the district and create a board to govern it. The governing board would issue pricey licenses to the clubs and dancers. That, along with an alcohol tax would bring revenue.
…
In a phone interview, strip club owner Steve Cooper says he’s unlikely to open a club in a potential Memphis Red Light District. He says “Memphis is backwards. I won’t invest any more money in Memphis.”

Under the county ordinance regulating sex-oriented businesses, alcohol sales or consumption are prohibited. Club employees are banned from touching customers and one another, women must cover nipples and all workers must cover their genitals under the ordinance.
The county ordinance was designed to “address many of the recognized negative secondary effects commonly associated with adult-oriented businesses. Such secondary effects include crime, the spread of sexually transmitted disease, reduced property values, and a host of other public health and safety issues.”
Last year, at least two strip clubs inside Memphis were shut down as public nuisances.
Memphis Police and the Shelby County District Attorney General’s office closed Showgirls, at 3880 Lamar, as a public nuisance, and several dancers were arrested on prostitution and drug charges. Babes of Babylon was shut down on similar charges.

Look, Clippers fans have been appropriately scarred over the years. They fully expected that stupid Kia to cripple Blake in the Slam Dunk Contest, just like they wouldn’t be shocked if the video scoreboard fell on Chris right as he was dribbling out the clock in Game 7 of the Finals. But that 27-point comeback in Game 1 was a seminal moment for a profoundly messed-up franchise. If they can erase a 27-point lead and guarantee themselves a spot on NBA TV Hardwood Classics for the rest of eternity, what else can happen? Has their historically low ceiling been removed?
These last two home games, I found myself mildly frightened by their unwavering optimism — almost like watching a buddy fall a little too hard for a stripper or something. They wore matching red T-shirts, cheered loudly from start to finish, jumped to their feet after every big play, started unprovoked “Let’s Go Clippers” chants and basically acted like college kids. Like three decades of frustration …

The idea would be an area in Memphis zoned to allow nudity and beer sales.
Strict Shelby County laws banning nudity when there is alcohol sales went into effect January first. Most strip clubs have opted out of that to continue serving beer. Now, the clubs are more like bikini bars.
The Council will consider a resolution that would create a committee to look at the issue, create a board to govern it, and find the area for the district.
“The majority of people don’t really care one way or the other. They just don’t want them in their neighborhood,” says Flinn. Coming up on Fox 13 New at 9, Lauren Lee will explain how this adult entertainment district would work and why Councilman Flinn thinks this will get the strip clubs out of residential neighborhoods.

… An office job wouldn’t work for (Sookie). She had a limited education, wouldn’t have gone beyond high school,” Harris said. “If she had decided to address envelopes for money, there wouldn’t have been the ebb and flow around her.” A bar provided a dynamic and changeable backdrop.
“Dead Until Dark” was followed by “Living Dead in Dallas,” “Club Dead,” “Dead to the World,” “Dead as a Doornail”… Harris said she only provided the first title. “‘Dead’ in every title wasn’t my idea,” Harris said. “That was a marketing decision, one I grew really tired of.”
Her acknowledgments for “Deadlocked” include this intriguing line: “My sincere gratitude to Stefan Diamante of Body Roxx for his Male Strippers 101 course.” The novel opens with Sookie and her friends out for ladies’ night at a strip joint.
“He was certainly very informative,” Harris says of her source. “I needed someone who was a practicing male stripper in the South. … He was very forthcoming, but you never can use everything you learn.”
