Tampa Strip Clubs: Bodley: A-Rod at peace with himself

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I asked the Yankees’ third baseman if he felt he was turning the page a year ago when he walked away after confessing to the world, his teammates and reporters that, yes, he was a steroids user while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03.
“It was the most difficult day of my life; if not that, certainly among the top three,” he answered. “It was very embarrassing. I would never want to do that again, but looking back, it was a necessary step for me.”
A-Rod, the highest-paid baseball player in the land, tasted ashes. There was the steroids scandal, his association with strippers that dominated the back pages of New York tabloids and a divorce. He says he looked in the mirror and didn’t like what he saw. His confessional was followed by hip surgery that kept him on the shelf for six weeks.

Tampa Strip Clubs: Quick! Name the lap dance capital of the world

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Paul Allen, the founder and publisher of NightMoves magazine, thinks the city’s rep is due to the sheer number of strip clubs.
“In greater Tampa Bay, I think the last count is around 56 different clubs that are adult-oriented,” he told Tampa Bay’s 10Connects.com.
Some blame the notoriety on a decade-old law.
Ten years ago, Tampa enacted an ordinance referred to as the “six-foot rule,” requiring customers to stay six feet from the dancers.
The six-foot rule is still on the books, but it’s not enforced.
Former Tampa City Councilman Bob Buckhorn told 10Connects.com that he believes in the weeks following the six-foot rule he called Tampa the “lap dance capital of the world” and the moniker stuck.
With 56 strip clubs, Tampa isn’t about to shed its image anytime soon.

Tampa Strip Clubs: Why Tampa is Known as the Lap Dance Capital

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Paul Allen, the founder and publisher of NightMoves magazine, says he hears about the city’s reputation all the time. He believes the shear number of strip clubs in the Bay area has undoubtedly contributed to the city’s rep.
“In greater Tampa Bay, I think the last count is around 56 different clubs that are adult-oriented,” he said.
Another reason for the reputation is the city’s role in the adult industry. “If you own a club in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and you want to book a feature (dancer) to come to your club, there’s basically four people you can call. Three of those four companies are based right here in Tampa,” Allen said.

Some might also be surprised to hear that the owner of Mons Venus, another totally nude strip club located on N. Dale Mabry, doesn’t like the reputation.

Tampa Strip Clubs: Stripper mobile parked by registration woes

Stripper mobile parked by registration woes

The long and winding journey of the stripper mobile began in Las Vegas just before Halloween last year, when it made routine laps up and down the strip, drumming up business for the Déjà Vu nude club in Sin City.

“The Saints kept winning, so we decided to take [the stripper mobile] to Miami for the Super Bowl,” Beard said.

Beard said the stripper mobile will visit some 100 Déjà Vu clubs in more than a dozen states before it heads back to home base in Vegas by May.
Besides luring customers into the clubs, the stripper mobile builds the Déjà Vu brand, he said. “Plus,” he said, “it builds morale at the clubs.”

“Definitely,” he said. “We get calls all the time from people who want to know if we are the club with the stripper mobile.”

Tampa Strip Clubs: NEW PORT RICHEY

… He liked to smoke marijuana,” said his sister, Colleena Maccarelli of Salt Lake City.
Those run-ins with the law kept him from his dream of serving in the military, but he made a decent living in construction. About nine years ago, he drove to Fort Lauderdale from New York with his brother Dominick, met a young woman who worked at her dad’s car dealership and decided to stay.
Kristina Velloso had a year-old daughter, Juliette. They grew close over the years. Juliette often called John “dad.”
In 2008, they moved to Holiday and took over a large house with a pool that a friend could no longer afford. John worked on construction projects at McDonald’s restaurants around the area. Kristina took a job as a bartender at Diamonds Gentleman’s Club in New Port Richey. Juliette went to Gulf Trace Elementary.

Tampa Strip Clubs: StripperMobile grounded, but grinding strippers will return

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

TAMPA, Florida – StripperMobile, the strip club on wheels, will not return to the streets of Tampa Friday night as originally planned.
City officials put the brakes on the mobile advertisement for the Déjà Vu gentlemen’s club because of registration issues with the truck’s Nevada license plate. 
During an extended conversation between the city’s lawyers and the club’s lawyers – described as “pleasant” by both sides - the topic of the suggestive dancing by the bikini-clad women on the back of the truck was also brought up.

“We discussed a compromise to alleviate the concerns expressed by some of the more conservative (people) in Tampa,” said Luke Lirot, lawyer for Déjà Vu, located on E. Adamo Drive.
He said when the registration issue is corrected and StripperMobile returns to the streets, the club will respect the city’s wishes for appropriate “coverage” on the women.  They will also abstain from specific ”performances” through certain areas of Tampa.

Tampa Strip Clubs: Source: ‘American Idol’ contestant Chris Golightly dropped over contract …

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

The curly haired Golightly joins a string of “Idol” contestants who emerged from the thousands who audition nationwide, only to be disappointed when the show decides their work or personal history is a problem.
Last season, Joanna Pacitti was shown advancing to the top 36 after “Hollywood Week” but was later replaced by Felicia Barton. Pacitti released an album in 2006 and had ties to 19 Entertainment, which produces “Idol” with FremantleMedia North America. She was also deemed “ineligible to continue” in a Fox news release.
In contrast, the singing competition allowed past contestants David Hernandez and Antonella Barba to stay on after it surfaced that he once worked as a nightclub stripper, and racy photos that appeared to be her leaked online. And Nikki McKibbin says she was upfront with “Idol” producers about her stripping past before she became a finalist during the show’s first season.
