Detroit Adult Entertainment: Mexico really is a lot safer place than people think
January 28, 2012 at 4:37 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsThe expatriates I spoke to in the lovely beachside bars of Tulum, down the coast from Cancun, are more worried about potholes than being murdered.
In Canada, we have nine road fatalities per year per 100,000 inhabitants. Compare that number to the number of Canadians murdered in Mexico, and you have to come to the conclusion that crime in Mexico is not worth thinking about very much. That doesn’t mean you can’t find trouble. You can find trouble in Thunder Bay if you go looking for it.
Don’t go to Ciudad Juarez. Wherever you go, don’t get hammered and wander around with your wallet bulging in your back pocket. Get your hotel to call you a taxi. Don’t drive at night. Don’t bring a prostitute back to your hotel room. Don’t buy drugs. If you go out at night, stay on busy, well-lit streets.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Windsor strip club invites you to come toss a dwarf
January 28, 2012 at 3:12 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWindsor strip club invites you to come toss a dwarf
…
An Ontario strip club that was the impetus for a law against so-called dwarf-tossing is at it again. The law never passed, so Leopard’s Lounge & Broil, in Windsor, is holding another dwarf-tossing contest Saturday.
…
The event at Leopard’s Lounge & Broil is evidently pretty much exactly what it sounds like. They hire a little person, dress him up in a Christmas elf costume, and then drunk customers pick him up and toss him onto a mattress on the floor. It’s not really clear how this is supposed to complement the club’s routine stripping business, but presumably on the venn diagram of life there’s at least some overlap between people who are interested in visiting a strip club in Windsor and people that would want to lift and throw a little man.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Dwarf-tossing lands in Ontario strip club
January 28, 2012 at 8:24 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsDespite repeated calls for its ban, the sport of dwarf tossing has once again landed in Canada.
The Leopard’s Lounge & Broil, a strip club in Windsor, Ont., is hosting the event tonight, in which competitors vie to see who can throw a little person the farthest.
“There’s nothing provincially, and no bylaws here, that would prevent this from going on,” said Windsor city councillor Ron Jones, who was alerted to the upcoming event by an angry constituent.
The event is being promoted on a sign outside the club.
With Ontario government showing no interest in restricting or regulating the small-person toss, he sees no reason the municipality should intervene.
Jones notes that, far from being forced to participate, the human projectile in question has his own agent.
“A person has a right to make a living,” he said. “If the person being tossed was being tossed against his will, then it’s a human rights issue, and I’d be all over it.
Detroit Strip Clubs: Dwarf tossing returns to club
January 28, 2012 at 8:24 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsAfter an absence of nearly a decade, and to the outrage of some, the controversial sport of dwarf tossing is making its return to Windsor tonight.
“By throwing little people through the air for money, the event objectifies and degrades an entire class as lesser people,” said Windsor’s Jennie Berkeley.
The competition at Leopard’s Lounge & Broil, a west-side strip club, is an “offence against human dignity and decency,” she said.
WIN00729265_1_1 Berkeley protested to her ward city councillor after seeing a sign outside the Wyandotte Street business promoting this weekend’s event, but Ron Jones said there’s little the municipality can do.
“There’s nothing provincially, and no bylaws here, that would prevent this from going on,” said Jones.
It was nearly a decade ago that former Windsor West MPP and then-deputy Liberal leader Sandra Pupatello failed to get a law passed that would have prohibited such competitions.

Detroit Strip Clubs: Dwarfs tossed among naked dancers at strip bar
January 28, 2012 at 1:36 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsWEEKS after the novelty ’sport’ gained international attention at the Golden Globe Awards, a strip bar has dawn international condemnation over plans to host a dwarf tossing competition.
Customers at Leopard’s Lounge and Broil in Ontario, Canada can register for the chance to literally throw a little person.
Jamie Danforth of Windsor is the father in a family of four little people and called it “ignorance at its highest level.”
“It is insane that in today’s society we still have this going on. I don’t need my daughters thinking this is the type of thing they have to be subjected to,” he wrote in an email to CBC News. “We wouldn’t throw the elderly or people in wheelchairs.”
Windsor resident Jennie Berkley called city councillors Ron Jones and Alan Halberstadt to complain that the event was “degrading” and “ridiculous” and should be stopped.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: House of Tolerance (18)
January 27, 2012 at 11:49 pm | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsBertrand Bonello’s film offers a bleak, unyielding yet sumptuously beautiful view of prostitutes‘ lives in Belle Epoque Paris.
Set almost entirely within a well-appointed brothel, it is less a drama than an unfolding fresco describing the everyday routine of its inmates and the dangers of their trade – from disease, age, addiction, and the occasional savagery of the rich male clients. The grotesquely cut face of Madeleine (Alice Barnole), resembling Heath Ledger’s Joker, haunts the mood through to the end. “This isn’t a knocking shop,” says the madam (Noémie Lvovsky), half-benign headmistress, half-jailer, looking after her girls but also loading them with debt to prevent their escape. She has her own problem: the rent is about to sky-rocket, and her vain appeal to an influential customer means the house will close. A day’s outing to the country is the sole respite, with Josée Deshaies’ exquisite cinematography nodding to the sunny uplift of Renoir, before returning to the gloomy interiors and wistful glances of Lautrec, Degas and Manet.
