New York Adult Entertainment: David Alan Grier shrugs off ‘Porgy and Bess’ controversy

He emailed the American Repertory Theater’s Diane Paulus, who was directing the adaptation by Suzan-Lori Parks and Deidre L. Murray. Grier, who knew Paulus from a workshop of her “Best of Both Worlds,” wanted to play Sporting Life, the drug-pusher and pimp portrayed in the original Broadway production by Cab Calloway and in the film version by Sammy Davis Jr.
Grier impressed the team by holding his own alongside lead actors Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis, and singing two songs: the funny, upbeat “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and the teasing, seductive “There’s a Boat That’s Leaving Soon.”

To get into character, Grier learned all he could about the 1930s in South Carolina, went back to the original notes left by the show’s creators, listened to Ella Fitzgerald scat and watched documentaries of pimps. He also drew on his roots growing up in Detroit and watching pimps decked out in colorful clothes stroll down 12th Street.

New York Adult Entertainment: Too $hort Finally Brings Pimping to NYC

So do you mainly get asked about your pervy raps? Like, is pervy stuff the go-to in interviews for the most part? You must get sick of it.
Well, this new album is very explicit, but not the imagery in the videos so much. I mean, I’m trying to be creative, and one thing that rap isn’t right now is creative. I love it, I’m not trying to knock any of the new artists, but originality isn’t on top of the list.
Well you’ll hear comedians say all the time that “working blue” and just cussing and talking about sex for a cheap laugh is cheating. It’s too easy. But then also, sex is such a common bond that I’m sure it’s hard to steer too far from.
One of the reasons I’ve had such a long career is because I’ve treated people right all the way up, but really, I’ve stayed true to the sex. Sex sells. My image is a pimp, and what does a pimp sell?

New York Escorts: Zach Braff: And now for my comedy about suicide

Most first-time playwrights would be quaking in their boots, but Braff, when we meet at a London hotel, seems unruffled. “I always dreamed of doing a play in the West End,” says the 36-year-old, sipping on a supersized coffee, his puppyish charm undimmed by the fact he only got off a plane from the US (disappointingly, he didn’t fly it) a few hours before. “I’ve been to London a few times – as a child, as a backpacker, and for my 35th birthday. I said, ‘I’ve got to come and do a play here.’ But I never in 1,000 years guessed it would be my own play. It’s like I’ve spoken it into existence.”
All New People is a comic four-hander set in a holiday apartment in Long Beach Island, where the miserable Charlie (played by Braff) is marking his 35th birthday by attempting suicide. This is frustrated by the arrival, in quick succession, of a British estate agent, a fireman and a prostitute. It’s already had …

New York Escorts: A Meatpacking District Bartender Tells Us The Best And Worst Parts Of Her Job

In the Meatpacking District, there are lots of prostitutes in the area. You can tell who they are. If there’s a man with a Miller Light and a man with a scotch, they’ll go for the guy with the scotch. On Christmas Eve, I saw a prostitute circling the bar. She kept getting rejected and ended up crying at the bar. You see a lot of stuff you don’t want to see: cheating, puking, screaming — the worst side of human nature.

I’ve gotten extravagant tips from people who think they’re showing off for me or think I’ll then owe them favors. The No. 1 thing I was taught: it’s my bar. The bartender has discretion over who they’ll serve. It’s up to us. I’m not here to be a servant. I’m not a prostitute. I get people kicked out all the time for an inordinate amount of attitude.

New York Strip Clubs: Super Bowl 2012 Predictions: Strippers ‘All In’ With Giants

Super Bowl 2012 Predictions: Strippers ‘All In’ With Giants
Forget the fact that the New England Patriots are three-point favorites in the 2012 Super Bowl. In fact, forget all the other Super Bowl predictions you are going to hear and read this week. New York City strippers are picking the Giants, and that’s good enough for me.
The dancers from Rick’s Cabaret New York in midtown-Manhattan have spoken, and they love the Giants this Sunday
“I’ve met so many pro athletes here,” said one dancer. “The Giants are my favorites. They are always so nice to us. I am rooting for them and I think they will beat the Patriots.”
Another said: “Some of the Giants players were here last week. I won’t mention any names because we respect everyone’s privacy. What I can tell you is that they seemed cool, calm, and confident. And that’s a winning combination.”

New York Strip Clubs: Catholic Colleges Refuse to Pay for Whore Pills

Last summer, the Obama administration, on the advice of a panel of independent physicians, ruled that birth control constitutes “preventative care” and thus must be available to women without copay. There’s a narrow religious exemption in the law that would allow certain faith-based groups to avoid the provision, and earlier this month, the administration announced that they wouldn’t widen the loophole to include religious colleges and hospitals, which means that colleges may need to provide copay-free birth control to their female students.
And across the country, dozens of mitres rose on their own accord and began spinning in rage. Touchdown Jesus began to ugly-cry. Catholic schoolgirls prepared to skip biology en masse in order to go to a strip club with Alicia Silverstone in the middle of the day. Everyone was given no excuse but to begin fucking for pleasure, and with impunity. It’s a dangerous time to be a hymen.

New York Escorts: Cindy Barshop’s fox fur merkins are given a faux makeover as PETA claims …

Faux fur or not, the results, we imagine, are quite a leap from the rather less glamorous merkins that were popularised by prostitutes in the 15th Century.

New York Escorts: Public school sexual abusefar worse than reported

Bill Nemitz’ Jan. 1 article is grossly unfair in discussing sexual abuse committed by Catholic priests without reference to the level of abuse found in public schools. He writes the sexual abuse scandal is the “elephant in the room” for Catholics leaving the church. If that were true, the public schools would be completely abandoned by now.
A U.S. Department of Education 2004 published report by Dr. Charol Shakeshaft “Educator Sexual Misconduct” concluded: “10 percent of American students are victims of sexual misconduct by public school employees each year.” She told Education Week that “the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.”
Recently New York City was paying more than $40 million annually in salaries alone for teachers not to teach, many of whom were charged with sexual molestation. Unlike the Catholic Church, New York City still has no background checks for new teachers. In 2010 a former prostitute got tenure after her former status was disclosed. Unlike the situation with priests, these are not old accusations.
