Tampa Strip Clubs: Look, Mom’s pole dancing!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

… You need serious strength and serious leg capability to pole dance,” Claussen said. “A lot of people think it’s silly, like men, with one, after seeing our gear at the airport, telling us, ‘Ya’ll are just letting it hang out.’ Well, not really â we’re just working out.”
There is a stigma associated with pole dancing, Soldano said. Those who’ve never done it â and men â think these women are working to get singles thrown at them.
Actually, it’s just a workout.
“It’s hard for me to understand how men can think that way or not like their wife or girlfriend doing it,” Soldano said. “Then again, I’m not even sure why women care what opinions are. They’ll be like, ‘Oh, so you want to be a stripper?’ No, because it’s not about them â it’s about me and my body. It makes me happy and something for me to do for myself.

Tampa Strip Clubs: Sports and Entertainment: Tampa’s Great Divide

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

A word to all the returning students: I’m afraid I have terrible news. First, The 7 Seas is officially closed forever. Yes, the strip club that no one (would admit they) had been to is finally gone.
The strip club that looked like it was run on a public bathroom off the Jersey Shore boardwalk will forever stand as a memorial to mediocrity.
This was the kind of place where you almost wanted to pay the women to put their clothes back on. If you ever wanted to see a woman in her third trimester stripping (not that anybody ever would) you’ve missed your chance.
Now if you want to go to a strip club, you’ll be forced to go at least two blocks further down the road to visit one of the other 15 or more clubs within the two mile radius.

So whether it’s going to bars or clubs, watching failing teams or (in the very sad situation) going to strip clubs, Tampa is a city anyone can enjoy.

Tampa Strip Clubs: Bill Conlin: Phils’ Noles on the case with Tyson Gillies

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

CLEARWATER, Fla. – They came for Tyson Gillies just after 12:30 a.m. Friday. Served him with an arrest warrant after a baggy containing a white powder that was confiscated from the back seat of a Clearwater police prowler on June 11 tested positive as cocaine.
Dickie Noles, the best substance-abuse counselor in the professional sports business, was on the plane before bail was posted later in the morning for the troubled minor league outfielder.
Just as he was on the scene after prized lefthander Cole Hamels busted his pitching hand on some redneck’s head during a parking-lot dustup pitting Phillies farmhands and locals.
Just as he had gotten the phone call in the middle of the night when a pitching prospect was arrested in the parking lot of a Clearwater gentleman’s club for having sex while nude with one of the club’s gentlewomen.

Tampa Strip Clubs: ADA suits challenge Ybor businesses

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

When Congress enacted the ADA, it didn’t assign regulators to enforce the law. Instead, it allowed individuals to sue and their attorneys to seek fees, breeding what one federal judge described as a cottage industry, “an explosion of private ADA litigation.”Ybor City restaurants and cigar stores are among the latest targets of lawsuits filed by Kendrick Duldulao, a doctor in the spinal cord injury center at James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital.
Duldulao, who uses a wheelchair, has teamed with a South Florida lawyer to paper Tampa businesses with lawsuits alleging violations ranging from inadequate handicapped parking and narrow doors to bars and counters that are too high.
The lawsuits have been served on Tampa landmarks such as the Mons Venus strip club and Bern’s Steak House, as well as convenience stores and take-out Chinese and pizza places.

Tampa Strip Clubs: FL’s Jeff Greene "Not a Partier"

Monday, August 16th, 2010

On Friday, Greene fielded questions at a press conference in Tallahassee about allegations from former deckhands that his yacht had hosted lurid parties more reminiscent of Jersey Shore than peaceful Caribbean cruises. As the St. Petersburg Times reports, a former employee on Greene’s yacht, Summerwind, claimed the yacht “is known to be a party yacht. When it went to Cuba, everybody talked about the vomit caked all over the sides from all the partying going on.” The paper cites a vignette from Gregory Zuckerman’s book, The Greatest Trade Ever:
“Greene brought two Ukrainian strippers on board to make a cameo appearance and hired stewardesses from coastal towns to serve as his crew. Some doubled as massage therapists, which came in handy after a day of scuba diving, Jet Skiing, or kayaking.”
Greene’s campaign has repeatedly denied these stories or corrected them; a campaign spokesperson, for instance, told the St. Pete Times that “Jeff was traveling on his boat with his rabbi and his younger brother to visit Jewish sites in Romania and Odessa” and was not bringing strippers on board. And at Friday’s press conference, Greene himself insisted that he’s “not a partier”:

Tampa Strip Clubs: Jeff Greene will sue paper that keeps mentioning his naked yacht parties

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Jeff Greene will sue paper that keeps mentioning his naked yacht parties
Insanely wealthy “outsider” Florida Senate candidate Jeff Greene is really upset with the St. Petersburg Times, because it keeps printing stories about parties on his “mega yacht.” So, he is going to sue the paper for libel, apparently.
The paper’s Adam C. Smith does not really care, though, and so today he has a story on strippers and “massage therapists” boarding the boat during the wild summer of 2005. Plus one former yacht stewardess provided excerpts from her journal, describing “naked, drunken people everywhere” while the boat was in Sag Harbour in August of 2006.
Greene describes the woman as a “disgruntled” ex-employee. And he is probably right — most of his former yacht employees seem very disgruntled, because he was a terrible boss.
