Detroit Strip Clubs: Lincoln Park To Approve Topless Club
November 30, 2009 at 4:36 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsLINCOLN PARK, Mich. — The decision on a liquor license for a strip club in Lincoln Park, one of the states largest, is not immediately being released.
Larry Flynts Hustlers Club has been at the center of controversy for the past seven years. Some city leaders tried to keep it from opening, and the fight between the city and the club wound up in federal court.
In October, a judge threatened the city would be fined $12,000 a day if the council did not approve the clubs liquor license, because the state had already approved it.
Opposition to the club came not only from the City Council but also from the community.
Just last week, members of the Lincoln Park Religious Association submitted nearly 1,000 letters of protest to the liquor control commission.
In October, members of churches located near the strip club protested outside the building.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Leonard Pitts Jr.: In Defense of ‘Precious’
November 30, 2009 at 8:49 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsShe is that invisible girl, the one we decline to see because she doesn’t look like Halle, enunciate like Condi, inspire like Oprah, doesn’t ratify our faith in the inevitability of happy endings. There are more of them than we would care to know. They are not just girls, not just poor, not just black.
They are incest victims in silent suffering, gay boys abandoned by their families, girls sold into prostitution by their mothers, 12-year-olds at home caring for 6-year-olds because nobody’s seen the 35-year-old in days. They are high school graduates who cannot read their own diplomas. They are children — “our” children — failed by families and then failed again by overburdened social agencies whose job is to take up the slack, catch them before they fall.
Detroit Adult Entertainment: Does Twilight Sell Sex to Teens?
November 30, 2009 at 8:49 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsSIERRA HALEY: I think it’s more like that that they’re in love with love…like ‘If you die I’m gonna die.’ Oh it’s just sad.
Fellow senior Jesus Gomez is a “Twilight” hater as well. He thinks Edward the sparkling vampire is lame but he can see the appeal.
JESUS GOMEZ: I think girls just like the fact that he’s acting like a bad boy.
EDWARD: Are you afraid?
But then vampires are usually bad boys. Just check out the oversexed vampires of HBO’s adult oriented “True Blood” or the teen bloodsuckers in either “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” or the more recent TV show “The Vampire Diaries.” In the upcoming “New Moon,” sexual tensions heat up even more. Teen Tashiya Harris says Edward leaves Bella and that provides an opening for Taylor Launter’s werewolf Jacob to make his move.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Don’t scapegoat Detroit’s adult nightclubs
November 30, 2009 at 8:49 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThe council, apparently bending to the will of an influential few, is willing to pursue a malicious course of action that is almost certain to drive 35 profitable Detroit businesses out of existence — along with their $3.6 million in annual taxes and fees and their 6,731 paying jobs.
With Detroit’s tax base disappearing and jobs fleeing the city, with so many other urgent issues in need of the council’s immediate attention, why is so much time and energy being wasted in an obsessive campaign to regulate legitimate businesses into bankruptcy?
Sadly, this is not uncommon. Across the country, especially as elections near, governmental bodies target adult entertainment establishments as easy prey, the low-hanging fruit they can attempt to cripple with excessive rulings — often in violation of First Amendment rights — so they can be viewed as “doing something.”
Detroit Adult Entertainment: James McAvoy: I won’t work with wife Anne-Marie in case we become ‘a target’
November 30, 2009 at 8:49 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsJames said: “I was interested in movies simply because we weren’t rich and you watch a lot of TV.
“My grandmother would take me to the cinema quite a lot. She’d take me with her and sometimes she’d sneak my sister in and then we’d sometimes just sit and watch the movie again.
“We don’t do that quite so much anymore, or if you do, they throw you out because it’s just horrible now.
“But we used to sit and watch the movie again or sneak into a showing of something else in these big cinema multiplexes.
“So I saw a lot of movies when I was a kid.
“That’s how it started really.”
At 16, James got a role as the son of a pimp in David Hayman’s 1995 film The Near Room.
