Detroit Strip Clubs: George Dawes Green simply terrifies with ‘Ravens’: New in Paperback
July 30, 2010 at 2:12 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsBeing victimized by a parent like this might be more than enough for some people to sever familial ties permanently, but as Jeannette Walls did in her memoir “The Glass Castle,” Sandell writes about her father with a nuanced view, hurt by the deception, but still loving in her understanding of an inscrutable man.
Plain Dealer reviewer Karen Schechner saw comparisons to Alison Bechdel’s 2006 memoir, “Fun Home” in the way the “book tackles family dysfunction, driven by a daughter’s investigation of her father’s dirty secrets.”
Schechner felt that Sandell’s book would have benefited from less about her “on-again off-again love life” and “more about Dad.” Schechner also wanted to know more about Sandell’s “four-year rumspringa when she has her ‘first and only lesbian fling’ in Israel and becomes a stripper in Japan, where she deflects lap dances with ‘potently unsexy’ conversations about classical piano and Philip Roth.”

Detroit Strip Clubs: Ex-mayor questioned in suit about stripper’s death
July 30, 2010 at 8:25 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsDETROIT (AP) – Imprisoned ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has given a deposition in a civil suit by the family of a slain Detroit stripper.
Kilpatrick arrived Thursday at U.S. District Court in Detroit from a federal prison in Milan, Mich. He was questioned for several hours by Norman Yatooma, lawyer for Tamara Greene’s three children.
Yatooma won’t reveal what Kilpatrick said.
The suit against Detroit and Kilpatrick says authorities hindered a police probe of Greene’s 2003 killing.
Greene was shot outside her home in 2003. She’s rumored to have performed earlier at a private party at the mayor’s Manoogian mansion.
Kilpatrick’s wife Carlita and father Bernard are expected to give depositions next month in Texas, where she lives.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Poll: GOP race is between Cox, Snyder, Hoekstra
July 30, 2010 at 8:25 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsTwenty-six percent of likely Republican primary voters backed Snyder, while 24 percent supported Cox and 23 percent preferred Hoekstra, according to the survey Lansing-based EPIC-MRA released Thursday. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard is backed by 10 percent, state Sen. Tom George by 1 percent, while 14 percent are undecided.
The telephone poll of 400 likely Republican voters statewide was conducted Monday and Tuesday for the Detroit Free Press and TV stations WXYZ, WJRT, WOOD and WILX. It had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
Compared with a mid-June EPIC-MRA poll, Snyder has moved up 6 percentage points, while Cox and Hoekstra have remained about the same. Hoekstra has been pounded by negative ads criticizing his votes for federal bailouts and higher debt ceilings, while Cox has had to deal with attacks on his handling of an investigation into a never-proven wild party allegedly involving strippers at the Detroit mayor’s official residence.
