:New York Escorts Today!

Now, Spencer is taking on the role of small-town girl Sherrie in the hit Broadway musical, Rock of Ages, at the Helen Hayes Theatre. TheaterMania recently chatted with Spencer about the show, learning how to work the stripper pole, and celebrating the Tony Award nomination of her fiancé, Newsies star Jeremy Jordan.
…
AS: First, her relationship with Drew is so touch and go. There is so much miscommunication between them. I think when they miss each other, they are finding themselves. Drew wants to be a big rock star, and Sherrie wants to be an actress, but becomes a stripper. Ultimately, she learns how to take care of herself and how to be independent, which she already is in a way, from the beginning. She has to become a bad girl to find out who she really is. And then she ends up with Drew at the end.

… The Jewish tradition teaches of the rodef, the pursuer, and teaches that one must intervene if they witness inequality, ‘lo tamod al dam reaha.’ You are instructed to pursue justice and peace,” said Louis Cholden-Brown of the Jewish Theological Seminary. “I am here today to say in a loud and clear voice: Stop and frisk does not stop crime, stop and frisk is a crime!”
“As Transgender women we are constantly stopped and frisked just because of they way we express our gender identity, and because they presume we are engaging in sex work, when often times we are just going to the corner store to buy milk or something for the house,” said Jessica Guaman from the LGBTQ Justice Project of Make the Road NY. “And if they find condoms in our bags, this is automatically considered proof of prostitution. These practices hurt our communities, and our trust with the police. They have to stop”

The story line from the media seems to be that the culture is going to hell — that we are having a national crisis of character. We have videos of “flash robs” posted on the Internet in which we see gangs of young people storm into a McDonald’s or a convenience store and take what they can and run out. There was the scene, also on the Internet, of a young man beaten and robbed in Baltimore while people stood around laughing, recording it all on their cellphones.
And, of course, we have the scandal at the General Services Administration, in which federal employees not only wasted taxpayer dollars on an outlandish conference but recorded videos of aspects of the event showing them relishing in their abuse of the system. And finally, we have the Secret Service fiasco, in which agents whose job is to protect the president were discovered to be carrying on with prostitutes in Colombia.

Accused NYC madam makes legal switch — her 3rd
NEW YORK
The accused suburban-mom madam of a multimillion-dollar Manhattan escort service has moved on to a new legal team — her fourth.
A judge agreed Tuesday to let Anna Gristina make her third legal switch. She’s now represented by seasoned Connecticut civil rights and criminal defense lawyer Norman Pattis.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office says Gristina peddled prostitutes for 15 years and bragged that she had law-enforcement contacts. Gristina’s lawyers have said she was merely starting a matchmaking business.
She’s pleaded not guilty to promoting prostitution.
Altogether, nine lawyers have appeared on her case at various times. One former Gristina attorney, Peter Gleason, offered to put up his apartment for her $2 million bail.
The judge urged other arrangements. Gristina has yet to raise bail.

Strauss-Kahn’s court filing comes two weeks after Bronx Supreme Court Justice Douglas McKeon rejected his motion to throw out Diallo’s civil lawsuit on the grounds he had diplomatic immunity at the time of the incident.
The countersuit cites claims by prosecutors that Diallo proved to be an unreliable witness, after they concluded she had lied about her past and offered varying accounts of her behavior in the moments that followed the incident.
“It should come as no surprise that Mr. Strauss-Kahn is asserting claims against Ms. Diallo for her false allegations against him,” one of Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers, William Taylor, said in a statement. “She is directly responsible for his being arrested, imprisoned, and subjected to extraordinary pain, anguish and expense.”
Strauss-Kahn’s legal troubles have persisted since his return to France after the dismissal of the criminal case. In March, French authorities announced he was under formal investigation in connection with a prostitution ring in the northern city of Lille.

The bill, likely to pass, would teach city cabbies how to help prostitute passengers. From The New York Post:
The course — designed to help hacks ID prostitutes and tell them about available resources — would be mandatory for anyone applying for a TLC license, according to a bill expected to soon pass the City Council. Mayor Bloomberg said he would sign the bill, which requires the city to design and update the course regularly.
In December, the Committee on Women’s Issues and the Committee on Transportation introduced two bills targeting sex-trafficking. WNYC reported:
One bill proposes a $10,000 penalty for drivers who knowingly participate in sex trafficking and asks the Taxi and Limousine Commission to institute an education program on sex trafficking for all drivers. The other bill raises penalties for driving an unlicensed vehicle for hire.
…
In April, a father/son team was arrested for allegedly operating a brutal sex trafficking business in Manhattan–a “brothel on wheels”–in which they branded the prostitutes with tattoos.

Ashley Dupre, Former Eliot Spitzer Call Girl, Opens Lingerie, Swimsuit Shop ‘Femme By Ashley’ In New Jersey
Posted: 05/16/2012 3:20 pm Updated: 05/16/2012 5:53 pm
Ashley Dupre, the woman once linked to the downfall of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, has now opened a lingerie shop in New Jersey.
Her new business venture, “Femme by Ashley,” focuses on selling luxurious swimsuits and intimate apparel for women.
Since the Spitzer scandal, Dupre has written a sex and relationship column for the New York Post and posed nude for Playboy. But now the 27-year-old is looking to get out of the media spotlight and behind the doors of her new boutique.
…
Still, Dupre has tried to escape negative press since her first interviews surrounding the prostitution ring investigation that began roughly four years ago.

Most plays in the English language have a certain formal structure. There are so many characters — anywhere from just one to, oh maybe 30 or 40. Each character has a name or a descriptive tag or both (Editor Webb — Candida, the minister’s wife — Young Abe Lincoln), and the words or thoughts or both are ascribed to one or another of these characters or, as it may be, more than one.
Not in the case of Mark Ravenhill. Or at least not in the case of 46-year-old British playwright Mark Ravenhill’s passionate yet cynical “pool (no water),” which — lower case and all, but with five life-sized, flesh-and-blood actors articulating now this person, now that one, as if by roll of the dice (ah there, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern!) — is receiving its New York premiere.
One might think that this strip tease, bare-bones aspect of a play gunning for public consumption might be for shock effect, and one might be right. The last time we had something of Ravenhill’s in these parts was 12 years ago at East 4th Street’s New York Theatre Workshop, and the work being shopped bore the in-your-face title, “Shopping and Fucking.”
