:New York Escorts Today!

Part of playing dress-up or barfly or doctor is that the kid interprets these things herself. She is in control, makes up the rules, and pushes  the boundaries for herself. When adults market opportunities to, say, stand up in front of a crowd and writhe around a stripper’s pole, the kid is playing by another person’s rules and filling in another person’s blanks. In this case, it’s an adult’s blanks. The kid is behaving like a stripper, or ordering fake rum-and-Cokes, or taking part in a pickle-eating contest with the blessing of a grown-up. The kid knows this and that’s what makes it icky.

The New York outpost of the strip club chain charged W.A. Ilg a whopping $28,109.60 for drinks in May, according to a complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week.
…
But a former beverage manager at the rival Penthouse Executive Club shared some insight on adult entertainment in Manhattan. Crazy Legs Conti said an exuberant customer on a night out can lose his shirt faster than one of the strippers he’s come to ogle.
…
The charges mount quickly, Conti says, when customers bought more than a few stiff drinks, which ranged from about $10 for a domestic beer to $160 for a few shots of Johnny Walker Blue. Private room rentals at the Penthouse club went for $1,100 per hour, according to Conti and, while the strippers earned anywhere from $600 to $1,000 an hour on top of that. Throw in a couple of Jay-Z endorsed Ace of Spades champagne at around a grand a pop and the bill will amount to a small fortune.

Daily News: It’s a great tabloid story that gets told over and over again and never really changes, other than having someone different each time in the role of stooge. Call it the Stripper Shock Special.
…
That was OK, because the Hustler Club was willing to conduct them for him—and he woke up with a bill a little over $28,000. The champion of the form was Robert McCormick, a new-media C.E.O. who racked up a much bigger bill ($241,000) at Scores back in 2003; he settled with the club in 2006. But the News gives us a helpful round-up of other Stripper Shock victims covered by the tabloids over the last several years, and most of them are right around Ilg’s league.
…
What a carnival of one-syllable Germanic morphemes! It’s exactly what tabloid display-writing is all about. And I appreciate that the fishnet-stockinged legs of some random stripper were not provided as a backdrop, actually. Sometimes, the 10 right words are worth a thousand stock photos.
…
Observations: What does the News lose with the smaller play on the Yankees-Red Sox game? Nothing, in my opinion. So the Stripper Shock Special headline-writing is all icing.

… Yes, what the commission uncovered was that Dr. Cutler and his colleagues knew that they would not be able to get informed consent, believed that in fact if you went to Guatemala, and you’re working with prostitutes, mental patients, prisoners, soldiers, people who are ill, you don’t have to get informed consent. And they didn’t even attempt to get the informed consent. Instead, they attempted to conceal the exact nature of their work with the research subjects. As a result of that, there were many reluctant participants or those who, for a pack of cigarettes or some other small amenity, were willing to undergo lumbar punctures, cisternal punctures to the base of the brain, or blood sticks. And this was not something which, again, could have ever been approved in the United States, It was absolutely outside the scope of what was legitimately considered ethical and humane conduct in the United States.

Larry Flynt’s strip club has hustled another man.
…
This is the second time that someone has sued Flynt’s strip club. Last year, the club charged Gerald Wall, a man from Delaware, more than $21,000 for drinks and services. Allegedly, the club charged the amount to two of his credit cards while he suffered a 90-minute memory gap while at the club. That man claims he only wanted a $300 bump-and-grind. He was driven home by a Hustler driver, and woke up in his home to discover this exorbitant tab. His case is still ongoing.
The Hustler club is not the only place that has been known to allegedly over-charge customers. Scores strip club charged a CEO from Missouri $241,000 in 2005. The same gentlemen’s club charged the husband of a Bangladeshi diplomat $129,626 for one night of fun, more than $100k over his tab.

W. A. Ilg, of Manhattan, New York spent a drunken night at the popular Hell’s Kitchen strip club “Hustler,” but when he got a bill charging him nearly $30,000 for alcohol, that’s when he sobered up.
W.A. IIg claims that the club fed him drinks while he was intoxicated and padded his bill to an outrageous amount.
As Reported By The NY Post: 
W.A. Ilg says he went to the mammary mecca this past May 24 — and doesn’t remember much of what happened after that. The club wrongfully served plaintiff excess alcoholic beverages such that plaintiff was no longer capable of conducting financial transactions,” Ilg said in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. But that didn’t stop transactions from happening. “Thereafter, defendant wrongfully charged $28,109.60 to plaintiff’s credit card, a sum far in excess of any reasonable costs for said alcoholic beverages,” the suit says.

In Lodi, Riddick wondered who would pay to replace her furniture and appliances.
Laughlin, her landlord, went through similar flooding in 2006 and was near the end of her rope. “I’m ready to walk if flood insurance doesn’t pay to fix this,” she said. “I’ll end up in foreclosure.
