Club Sinn, a new downtown St. Petersburg bar, plans bikini dancers
By Luis Perez, Times Staff Writer In Print: Wednesday, November 11, 2009
ST. PETERSBURG — The city is paying close attention to a new downtown bar with a devilish name that plans to use scantily clad entertainers while steering clear of calling itself a gentlemen’s club.
The owner of Club Sinn, Heather Rardin, 35, is the former manager of Mermaid’s, a bikini bar in St. Pete Beach.
Rardin said her week-old business, facing historic Williams Park at 340 First Ave. S, will also feature dancers stripping down to bikinis.
Elected and city officials have taken an interest in a small stage that Rardin built with a single metal pole in the center.
Rardin cannot apply for an adult use license, which would allow for less attire, because the storefront bar is a block away from two churches. The city code prohibits adult businesses within 400 feet of a church, school or child care facility.

A month later, the partners nailed down another critical piece of the project: a license from Westin Hotels to put the luxury brand on the high-rise they planned to build there.
But soon some partners wanted out. Jai Lalwani was looking for investors and approached Redner. He knew Lalwani as owner of an Ybor City hip-hop club called Club Fuel, a frequent target of Tampa police for violating the city’s noise ordinance.
They flew to New York with consultants to meet Westin executives. Redner was smitten by the project. In October 2007, he paid $2.6 million for a stake, he said, without doing anything close to due diligence.
The Westshore’s general manager had experience running hotels owned by a partner from Boca Raton. But he left after run-ins with Lalwani, said Toni Derby, who operates Redner businesses that include the Mons Venus strip club, a fitness center, a film production company and office property.

Sounds like he may get a second chance with this new image of his!
Yankees player Alex Rodriguez used to have quite the shady reputation with steroid and stripper scandals, a messy public divorce, gallivanting with Madonna and being what some might call ungrateful for his giant contract.
Basically advertisers wanted nothing to do with him.
But A-Rod has seemingly cleaned up his act and with a World Series win under his belt he’s looking much more marketable these days. His Hollywood actress girlfriend Kate Hudson seems to be helping his image, too, being billed as his good luck charm.
He just has to make wise choices as to the advertising direction he wants to go. Experts think he would be a good match for an electronics company but under no circumstances should he endorse anything having to do with “performance” lest we think he’s on the ‘roids again!

Corporate sponsors haven’t beaten down his door before, but Alex Rodriguez may have a shot at turning his world championship ring into marketing gold.
His endorsement appeal was weak, thanks to a steroid scandal, pictures of him squiring around a stripper and resentment over his huge contract.
Now Madison Avenue is taking a fresh look at the much-maligned Yankees’ third baseman after he lowered his tabloid profile and raised his game in the World Series.
Marketing experts said the win is A-Rod’s best shot yet at moving beyond the baseball field.
“There’s enough splash for a company to come in now,” said David Schwab, managing director of Octagon’s celebrity division. “The question is, who is that and what is that?”

A month before the steroids bombshell, Rodriguez was roasted by his former manager, Joe Torre, in his book “The Yankee Years.” It ignited a new round of A-Rod battering and gave credibility to what many of the most devout Yankees fans had begun to think: Rodriguez was a phony and a fraud, disingenuous.
Torre’s frank assessments confirmed in some fans’ minds that Rodriguez was the not the person to lead the Yankees to a title. Torre said Rodriguez became “the unmistakable shorthand symbol for why the Yankees no longer were champions and suffered at the rise of the Red Sox.”
The book conjectured: “Whether hitting 450-foot home runs or sunbathing shirtless in Central Park or squiring strippers, Rodriguez was like nothing ever seen before on the championship teams of the Torre Era: an ambitious superstar impressed and motivated by stature and status, particularly when those qualities pertained to himself.”

If a bi-state tax and a new, new stadium don’t get the job done, then we should divert the COMBAT tax money into baseball funds. Nobody really cares that much about stopping drugs anyway.
Other incentives we could give to baseball players include tax abatements on their personal residences. I understand many Park Place condos are available. Maybe the city should buy the building and make it a dorm for players, especially right fielders.
Monday nights at the Power and Light District should be reserved for Royals players. The public should be prohibited so these guys can have some privacy. We should also build a private subway from the Park Place condos to the P&L District.
It would probably raise taxpayer ire to hire strippers to entertain the players on Mondays at the District. But perhaps a wealthy donor could be tapped for this small cost.

… Normal family stuff,” she said. “Except instead of at home, we did it here.” Her daughter, Arielle, 18, even worked there.
Walker bought the place six years ago from the people who hired her. She doesn’t plan on moving the business. Auctioneers come Friday to sell off some of the remaining equipment.
Pam Smolik was one of those standing in line around noon Thursday at the shop at 3705 Fifth Ave. N. Smolik went to high school with Walker, and she’s been ordering chocolate peanut butter milk shakes for 20 years. On Thursday she had a list from co-workers who wanted their last chance at food.
“Dairy Hut closing is bittersweet,” she said. “I’ve been coming here forever.”
Walker said she remembers telling kids to quit playing in the street. Now, she says, she chases away prostitutes and drug dealers.

In Tampa, the surge netted 30 defendants, who authorities said caused fraudulent mortgages that totaled more than $103 million on 313 bay area properties.
The St. Petersburg Times has previously reported on several cases in the Tampa surge, including charges against former 2nd District Court of Appeal Judge Thomas E. Stringer Sr. and convicted telemarketing tycoon Peter Porcelli.
Stringer pleaded guilty to lying on a loan application in 2004. He claimed that none of the money used for the down payment on a home in Hawaii was borrowed, when in fact he had gotten cash from someone else. He resigned from the bench in February amid questions about his financial dealings with a stripper. Stringer has worked out a deal with prosecutors to avoid prison. He’s scheduled to be sentenced next week.

Charges include filing a false loan application, bank, wire or mail fraud, swindles, conspiracy, and money laundering.
The investigation has netted people in all walks of life, including a licensed contractor, a title escrow company manager, brokers, accountants, Realtors and their assistants, a mortgage company president, a silent partner in a lending group, buyers of multiple properties, and sellers.
Among those convicted statewide was a Second District Court of Appeals judge, Thomas Stringer, 65, who had already stepped down this year due to allegations he was involved in fraud with a stripper. He pleaded guilty to bank fraud in August, admitting he lied on a 2004 loan application, claiming he hadn’t borrowed money for a down payment, when he obtained cash from someone else. He’d also been accused of fraudulently obtaining a $350,000 mortgage for a Hawaiian home he bought with the stripper.
