New York Adult Entertainment: Cy Coleman’s tunes swing in a musical tribute

The connective theme seems to be love won and lost, and life’s ups and downs, with plenty of bittersweet twists in the witty lyrics and syncopated music. The onstage band is smooth and polished, led by musical director Billy Stritch. He plays piano while coolly singing the title song, among others, and also provides a lovely, contemplative version of “It Amazes Me.”
His fellow performers, Tony Award-winner Lillias White, Sally Mayes, Rachel York, Howard McGillin and David Burnham — Broadway veterans all — know how to deliver a song with style. They sing solos or pair off on various duets with great success, notably Stritch and White together on the title song from “Little Me.”
Mayes gives a sassy rendition of Dorothy Fields’ “Nobody Does It Like Me.” White injects weary humor into her performance of “The Oldest Profession,” a song about a tired prostitute from the musical “The Life.” Burnham conjures up a credible Rat Pack image in his exuberant version of “Witchcraft.” McGillin is easily suave, as when he sings “You Fascinate Me So,” and York suitably glamorous and sultry, especially in the rueful ballad “Come Summer.”

New York Adult Entertainment: A Sneak Peek into Donald Trump’s Dirty Empire

Arif is such a fabulist, according to the Kriss complaint, that he even “pretends to be Turkish to avoid connection to his questionable past in Russia.” He spends a lot of time in Istanbul and, last October, was arrested aboard the largest for-charter luxury yacht in the world and charged with “encouraging” and “facilitating” prostitution. Turkish military police conducted a helicopter raid on the Savarona, a 16-suite, steam-powered, white vessel once used by Turkey’s founder, Mustafa Ataturk, and rented out for $40,000 a day. Nine Russian and Ukrainian women were detained and then deported; two were reportedly only 16 years old and had come to Turkey at Arif’s behest. Media reports indicated that naked men, some of whom were top government officials as well as Russian, Israeli, Kazakhstan, and Turkish executives, were busted in suites strewn with used and unused condoms.

New York Adult Entertainment: ‘Hacked’ but still tweeting away

I have just a few observations. First, if he lied he’s toast. As embarrassing as a raunchy tweet might have been, the recipient isn’t a minor, and the requisite “allow my wife and I privacy” would probably have been sufficient to quell the storm for a liberal Democrat in a safe seat. It’s a truism that voters will put up with a lot, unless you lie to them.
Second, conservatives are complaining that a scandal that would have been front-page news for an indiscreet Republican is largely a non-story in the mainstream press. (It took the National Enquirer, if you recall, to get the mainstream media going in the John Edwards scandal.) Well, it was a holiday weekend, but if there is some excuse for continued indifference to story that, if true, could bring down a prominent congressman, I haven’t heard it.
Third, if as Weiner claims, it is some nefarious plot orchestrated by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart (who was at the center of the ACORN prostitution sting and the Shirley Sherrod incidents), isn’t that a story as well? The lack of curiosity about a figure reviled by the liberal punditocracy is rather odd.

New York Adult Entertainment: Strauss-Kahn gets best defence money can buy

The four musketeers: DSK has worked with four executives from one of France’s biggest PR firms, Euro RSCG. Stephane Fouks, Gilles Finchelstein, Anne Hommel and Ramzi Khiroun are known as the four musketeers.
Anne Sinclair: DSK’s wife may be his greatest asset, especially as she is largely financing his expensive defence.
THE PROSECUTION
Cyrus Vance jnr: The son of Cyrus Vance, a US Secretary of State under Jimmy Carter, the former litigator was appointed last year as Manhattan’s district attorney. He has so far had an unremarkable 17-month run.
Artie McConnell: McConnell has been named as the lead prosecutor against Strauss-Kahn. He was also involved in the prosecution of “Manhattan Madam” Kristin Davis, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to running a high-end prostitution ring in New York, California and Pennsylvania.

New York Adult Entertainment: Long Island Serial Killer Connection: Cocaine?

The article gives a detailed account of Gilbert’s disappearance, the most recent of the victims, on May 1, 2010, when she ran from a john’s house on Long Island never to be seen again. The search for her led police to the four other bodies, all buried identically in burlap, all identified as women who disappeared during the summer months, beginning with Brainard-Barnes, who was last seen on July 9, 2007.
For New York, family members of victims gathered together for the first time to discuss their dovetailing stories. Much of the biographical information about the women matches, including the circumstances that led them to the escort business and a history with drugs.
Kimberly Overstreet, the sister of Amber Costello, has worked as a prostitute on and off for years and even introduced her sister to the profession. She is the most blunt about the girls’ situations and even argues with the other victims’ family members about what she sees as overly naive views of the killings. But she comes back to the drugs:

New York Adult Entertainment: Tennessee Honors "No Tobacco Day"-New York Fights"Speakeasy" Smoke Bars

I’m sure some “Speakeasy” smoking establishments are already in the works in New York City. Central Park is a big place, and I’m sure you will find a smoker or two huddled behind a dumpster somewhere, hustling down a Marlboro or a Pall Mall. Tp the homeless bums living in a card board box in a dark Mahattan alley- beware. Was that old stogie tossed there by a Wall Street magnate, or is it a plant by one of the NYPD Smoke Squad.
I guess New York will have to bring back prosecutor Jack McCoy, out of retirement, of “Law and Order” fame, to instigate some grand jury investigations hoping to indict serial Central Park smoking addicts. McCoy’s a tough one, and after a few felony convictions, a convicted habitual smoker might want to move to New Jersey, and rebuild their lives working in less serious crimes for the mob, like drugs and prostitution.

New York Strip Clubs: ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ Manzo Boys Get their Own Spinoff

Albie and Chris Manzo will star in their own Bravo reality series chronicling their new life as roommates and bachelors in Hoboken, New Jersey. The two boys moved to their Hoboken abode this past November.
The news came on Monday night during commercial break of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” It’s not yet clear when the reality series will air but they’ve clearly already begun filming. Their new reality gigs are a far cry from their original hopes and dreams. Albie wanted to become a lawyer, while Chris wanted to open a car wash with strippers. Albie’s dreams of becoming a lawyer got off to a good start, but after a rough year at Fordham, a career as an attorney didn’t seem like an option. Chris didn’t really pursue his car wash dream and instead took on the family business before deciding to move out on his own to experience other opportunities.
