:New York Escorts Today!

INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP — Right after Mötley Crüe romped through “Dr. Feelgood” on Wednesday night, bassist Nikki Sixx gave the sold-out crowd at the DTE Energy Music Theatre some reason to feel good itself.
“Mötley Crüe. Thirty years. We won’t die,” Sixx declared. “We figure at this point we might as well keep (expletive) going.”
That was just fine with the fans, who got exactly what they wanted from the Crüe’s 85-minute set — a hit-filled exposition of rock that weaved together strains of metal, glam, pop and punk, atop grooves as fit for a strip club as they were for arenas. Best of all, the quartet (bolstered by two female backup singer/dancers) was in as good a shape as it’s been in recent years; frontman Vince Neil’s voice even held up for more than half the show, allowing him to let loose with his trademark screams of yore during “Saints of Los Angeles” and, of course, “Primal Scream.”

Livin’ on a Prayer: Arriving to New York with no master plan and no stateside management, Faulkenberry soon shipped out to star in the national tour of Rock of Ages opposite American Idol alum Constantine Maroulis. “I don’t know how he sings the way he does eight shows a week,” Faulkenberry marvels. “He’s incredible, and he’s great to act against.” At first, playing the innocent ingénue seemed like “the complete antithesis of what I want to do,” Faulkenberry admits, “I have dimples and blond curly hair, so I get put in that category a lot, but I talk like I’m 30 years old! OK,” she amends, “40.” But her Rock role, she says, offers a satisfying range. “Sherrie’s great because you get to start sweet and go through the whole stripper thing and back again.”

The Political: While more research needs to be done on the psychology of homophobia, there is a curious correlation between some outspoken opponents of homosexuality — politicians and pastors in particular — and what turns out to be their own sexual predilections. There might be something to the simple Freudian adage that the thing we oppose most furiously is the thing that most fascinates and stimulates us.
With this in mind, it’s no secret that controversial matters can become fodder for politicians wishing to score votes with their constituencies. While we might suspect that a particular politician has no visceral sentiment about homosexuality and no theological bone to pick, there can be a pragmatic element to him or her showing moral consternation to the public. It’s all done with the fervor that one’s political base can only appreciate — at least until the very same politician turns up soliciting sex with men in a public washroom, whether in an airport, public park or otherwise.

According to the indictment, “Defendants Damien Crooks, 31, and Jamali Brockett, 27, first met the victim in 2003, when she was 13, and they both raped her in a neighborhood park… After that encounter, Crooks and Brocket began forcing her to have sex for money and beating her, raping her, and forcing her to perform sexually humiliating acts when she refused, according to the indictment. The indictment charges that they threatened to harm her family if she went to police. On one occasion, Crooks, Brockett, and Brockett’s brother, Jawara Brockett, 33, raped her on the roof of a building, while her brother waited outside, unaware of the attack, according to the indictment. On another occasion, the indictment charges, Crooks took her to a party to recruit other girls, but when she refused, he and Darrell Dula, 24, raped her.”
Crooks faces four counts of rapes and two counts of sex trafficking, while Jamali Brockett’s charges include rape, compelling prostitution and criminal sex act. The pair also tried to get her to recruit other women, and then beat her when she refused. Jawara Brockett and Darrell Dula were charged with rape.

‘Magdalene’ Producers Respond to Accusations of Anti-Semitism
The producers of the new Off Broadway musical “The Magdalene” met with representatives of the New York office of the Anti-Defamation League on Wednesday after receiving an e-mail the day before saying that the production contains anti-Semitic elements. The show, inspired by the Gnostic Gospels, offers an alternate version of the traditional story of Mary Magdalene. In the musical the title character, played by Lindsie Van Winkle, is not a prostitute and has a romantic relationship with Jesus, or Yeshua (Shad Olsen), causing infighting among his circle of disciples and further invoking the ire of the Roman government. The story ends as it usually does, with the Jesus character crucified.
“The play does indeed contain severe anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic imagery, with a production that disparages and mocks Judaism and Jewish law from beginning to end,” Ron Meier, the regional director of the league wrote in the e-mail to the show’s producer and general manager, Angelo Fraboni. “Jews are portrayed as sinister, brutal and bloodthirsty characters versus the positive, vivacious characters of Mary, Yeshua (Jesus) and followers.”

It turns out Queen Elizabeth summoned Prince Andrew to the Royal Palace after pictures of him with convicted hedge fund sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were published in the Daily Mail, according to a profile of the wayward British prince in this month’s Vanity Fair.
Even though Prince Andrew — who is the UK’s Ambassador for Trade — had embarrassed the Royal Family before, apparently remaining chummy with Epstein, who has been accused of inappropriate sexual relations with at least 30 underage girls, was what sent the Queen over the edge.
In particular, allegations made by a woman called Virginia Roberts, against Epstein and the Prince, triggered the Queen’s scolding. Roberts alleges that when she was younger, Epstein flew her out to the States where she was trained as a prostitute, and that she was flown specifically to meet Andrew. The Prince says he never engaged in sexual contact with her.

As Media Matters noted earlier this week, the newspaper erred when it reported that as part of his Shirley Sherrod smear campaign last summer, Breitbart claimed that in the videotape he posted of her addressing an NAACP audience, members “applauded” when Sherrod told a story of not helping a white farmer. (In the full telling, she ended up aiding the man.)  
But the applause claim a lie, one Breitbart has been peddling for some time.  (Go watch the video and see/hear for yourself; there is no applause.)
Some audience members nodded and murmured in apparent approval; they did not applaud, although Mr. Breitbart stated that they did. 
Unfortunately, the Times remains mum regarding the error the paper made in the same story when it reported ACORN workers caught on undercover tapes made by James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles were guilty of “offering advice on how to evade taxes.”
That’s simply not true. In fact, if you read through the transcripts for the ACORN videos, workers again and again stressed just the opposite; that O’Keefe and Giles had to pay their taxes, even if their income was earned from prostitution.

I’d like to take a trip to Iowa and take pictures of a corn-on-the cob flag, which a friend told me about. The most unusual setting for a flag was probably a flag mural that was painted in front of Beamers, the topless strip club in Stamford. Another one was a flag painted lobster boat in Maine. In Ohio, an ice cream parlor was painted with the stars and stripes, with the stars in the shape of ice cream cones. I took pictures of a brand of deodorant with stars and stripes. Another unlikely canvas for the Stars and Stripes was the facade of a bar in Pennsylvania. I just noticed the other day in the grocery aisle a six-pack of beer with a Stars and Stripes design on the cans. I call the last two real toasts to America. I heard about a flag outhouse out west but decided I would pass on that one.

It continues to be a rocky third term for the mayor, what with the December blizzard, the CityTime scandal, the Cathleen P. Black debacle and now harsh criticism from a newspaper like The Post, which less than three years ago pleaded with him to seek a third term because, it said, only he could save us from fiscal ruin.
On the positive side, Mr. Bloomberg can peer calmly across the waters, knowing that whatever his own headaches may be, Prime Minister George A. Papandreou of Greece has it worse, a lot worse.
