Detroit Escorts: Street lit meets sci-fi
March 26, 2012 at 2:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsStreet lit meets sci-fi
Religious wackos, potheads, burnouts and a kidnapped child
Drug Lords
by E. Scrill
Street Ink Publications, $15, 200 pp.
The genre known as “urban fiction” — aka “street fiction” or “ghetto fiction” — gets little critical scrutiny. Only now are the genre’s pioneers, such as Donald Goines, getting a more serious look. The gritty stories of pimps, drug dealers and hoods have struck a chord with mostly young, inner-city readers. What’s more, they’ve become a growing business, with scores of books coming out each year, collectively selling millions of copies.
This entry, from Detroit scribe E. Scrill, was published a few years ago, but only recently came to our attention. Set in Detroit, the book abounds with local references, especially on the west side: the Fox Theatre, McNichols Road, Herman Gardens, Fairlane Mall, Dexter-Davison, Sinai-Grace Hospital, etc. Adding to the Detroit authenticity, Scrill’s ear for dialogue is superb, as the characters’ language — from slang to cusses — is spot-on, and often laugh-out-loud funny.
Detroit Escorts: Microsoft meets 2012 Ford Mustang with Project Detroit
March 26, 2012 at 2:13 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsFinally, an on board wi-fi network allows all devices to talk to each other, completing the connected-device philosophy.
How fast is the Project Detroit 2012 Ford Mustang?
The standard 2012 fifth generation Ford Mustang GT employs a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 producing 412hp and 390lb ft of torque.
That means a 0-60mph time of 4.5 seconds, but with all the added weight of the Microsoft kit and engineering as part of the re-body, expect that to be upped to nearer five.
Fuel economy (because it matters…) stands at a respectable 31.2mpg “on the highway” according to Ford.
What is West Coast Customs’ involvement in the Project Detroit 2012 Ford Mustang?
West Coast Customs is the facilitator of this rather elaborate integrated technology project from Microsoft. If you’ve ever seen MTV’s Pimp My Ride TV show, you’ll be familiar with the California firms work.

Detroit Escorts: It’s a wrap: New bylaw demands condoms in L.A.’s Porn Valley
February 29, 2012 at 4:48 am | In Detroit escorts | No CommentsHowever, some predict the cameras — and bodies — may still keeping rolling as they have been.
Rhodes and most other producers left it up to performers to choose whether or not to sheath — Maxine shuns prophylactics — confident in monthly testing of their stars for sexual infections. He can’t see that changing.
“This is a bit like asking NASCAR drivers to only drive at 55 … or no body checking in the NHL,” says Rhodes, adding in frustration: “It’s a buzz kill.”
He wonders whether it will force productions underground — ignoring safeguards — or perhaps move to countries like Canada. But pretty bodies and support staff are abundant in L.A., and one of the only other states where adult film production has been cleared under anti-prostitution laws is New Hampshire.

Detroit Escorts: Super Bowl, Auto Show Events Lure Sex Traffickers
February 29, 2012 at 4:48 am | In Detroit escorts | No Comments… maybe a young girl coming in with a much older man, or lots of people coming in and out,” the volunteers explain.
The Next Big EventProject SOAP, it’s an acronym for Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution, is the brainchild of Theresa Flores. Flores says she was blackmailed as a teenager living in Oakland County into two years of a life of forced sex with strangers. She says events with large crowds like the Detroit North American International Auto Show and the Super Bowl also attract sex traffickers, many of whom travel from event to event.
“This is their business and they feel like they’re a businessman, an entrepreneur,” she says. “And they’re making a lot of money. The average pimp makes about $1,000 per night per girl — tax-free, cash.”
