Houston Strip Clubs: Greensburg Daily News, Ind., Adam Huening column

I’ve never been a fan of pop music. It has its place for dancing, out clubbing where the bass is bumping and intoxicated people could care less about what the singer is saying as long as it helps them hook-up. Perry’s new album fits there, throbbing through the speakers in gay bars and strip clubs.
Musically, it’s a decent dance album, I guess. It brings the beats, tinged with ’80s influences which is chic with teens these days. The lead single “California Gurls” is a classic summertime jam, despite (or maybe because of) the rap from Snoop Dogg, who sounds like he thought of the words and phoned it in while driving his kids to soccer practice. I’m sure 10s of thousands of teenagers discovered the magic of grind dancing while hopped up on stolen hooch from mom and dad with this song as the soundtrack. “Firework” sounds like it was picked up out of the trash behind Kanye West’s house, a reject from 808’s And Heartbreaks. “Teenage Dream” pumps the gay bar beat to the extreme, and “ET” offers a new track for strippers tired of the same old Lady GaGa song (Alejandro!).

Houston Strip Clubs: Skeeving Down Unda

The White Elephant was packed, and people were drunk. Cody was covering a Merle Haggard song, and Sam was seated at a table wearing a bewildered expression. That’s about when I noticed a curly-haired blonde and a tattooed, short-haired brunette nearby. The former looked like Joan Osborne if Joan Osborne were a “sk8er chick,” and the latter looked like Katy Perry if Katy Perry were a stripper. It turned out that the brunette actually was a stripper.
She shook my hand and said, “I’m Ellie, and she’s Shelly.” I repeated their names; Ellie corrected me. Apparently, Ellie is Australian for Allie, and this gaffe was the first of several phonetic misunderstandings. The pair came from Brisbane, had known each other for 12 years, and had been traveling together for eight months. Shelly went to the bar; Allie told me that her friend was “skeeving,” whatever that meant. I had no way of knowing for sure — sober Australians probably aren’t too hard to understand, but drunk Aussie strippers need closed captioning. Allie made me down a shot of Cuervo, my least favorite drink.

Houston Strip Clubs: The wealthiest pornstars of all time (NSFW)

Houston became notorious in 1999  after enduring The World’s Biggest Gangbang 3: The Houston 500, in which she had sex with 620 men consecutively. That same year she reportedly earning $1 million. At the height of her fame she also received $20,000 a week for strip club appearances. She attempted to cross over into mainstream media with cameos in music videos, and she even released a single, “What Do You Want From Me?” in 2003. Houston was also noted for having her labia surgically trimmed and auctioning off to a fan for an estimated $10,000. Also in 1999, a radio station set Houston up as the prom date for an 18-year-old high school student. The two then had a relationship which culminated in the teen moving to California with the pornstar.

Houston Strip Clubs: Katy Guest: Lap dancing is seedy – but it’s hard to say why

And yet I do, viscerally, object to lap dancing – and among my thoughtful and tolerant female friends I am not alone. We are not prudish, we’re not generally judgemental and we haven’t got where we are today by having a tantrum at the merest hint of sexism or smut. But, in my narrow and admittedly baffling experience, men can’t see what’s wrong with a strip club, and women can’t understand why they think it’s OK.

I know that decent men go to strip clubs, too. (Although I don’t believe that most of them tell their wives and girlfriends.) And, just because I don’t get it, doesn’t mean that I should necessarily disapprove. I don’t understand why (mostly) men gather to watch football any more than I understand why they go out together to look at boobs, but I wouldn’t want to stop them doing either. And yet, in the case of the latter, I do ….

Houston Strip Clubs: Sex! Nudity! Why Katy Perry is hot

AP
Pop star Katy Perry strikes a provocative pose on the cover of her new album, “Teenage Dreams.”
TODAYshow.com contributor
A nude image of Katy Perry graces the cover of her latest album, “Teenage Dream,” which was released on Aug. 24. What’s shocking is that this is not so shocking. In the era of Lady Gaga’s nearly nude crowd surfing at Lollapalooza and Miley Cyrus’ underage stripper-pole dancing, Perry’s CD cover seems just another in a long line of attention-grabbing tactics by a mainstream pop artist.
Although artists have been selling sex since before Elvis shook his hips, in-your-face sexuality has become so much a part of popular music that Kylie Minogue and Bananarama’s former producer Mike Stock has called much of today’s music “pop chart porn.”
It wasn’t always this way. Album covers on which an artist appeared nude once seemed like tactless bids for publicity — and those sometimes backfired. Alannah Myles, for example, saw her career tank in the U.S. after a No. 1 hit when she pulled a similar move in the 1990s.

Houston Strip Clubs: Fashion and Beauty: Dressed for burlesque

Katy, who spends part of every week teaching in Cambridgeshire and commutes to Huddersfield at weekends to take burlesque and other dance classes, says she’s been surprised by the uptake.
“I started here in March and we held a workshop to test the waters. It was incredible – 30 women turned up and were very enthusiastic,” she said. “None of them had ever done any dance classes before. They were all new to dancing.”
And so Katy, 22, who works at the Tristan Dance Studios in Park Valley Mills, launched a class on Sunday evenings. From next month there will also be a Friday night class. Once a month the students hold a Saturday evening social and workshop, at which they dress to impress each other.
Burlesque, says Katy, gets a bad press and is often associated with strip tease.

Houston Strip Clubs: Katy Perry: After Marriage, No More Talk About Personal Life

Just when I thought Katy Perry had no “off” switch, she reminds us that she will shut up about her relationship to British comedian Russell Brand when they’ve finally tied the knot.
The singer says that she and Rusty have made a pact to zip their lips once the wedding has already taken place. In a new interview, she said, “People have all these ideas about my relationship and my wedding and there is so much speculation. I’m not a traditional type of person in general but after we get married we’ve decided we’re not going to talk about the relationship.”
Until then, we’ll be treated to comments about strip clubs, Rihanna, booze and all kinds of debauchery. She said, “The whole process is exciting but once you’re married it’s supposed to be for life so when you hear us stop talking about it we’ll be married.”

Houston Strip Clubs: Katy Perry Quits Drinking Alcohol

10 August 2010
Pop star Katy Perry has decided she never wants to be one of those celebrities caught stumbling out of a bar…so she’s quit drinking alcohol!
The singer insists her life is too busy to spend time boozing, and she regularly works 13-hour days in the studio or on tour.
Check out Katy Perry’s super HOT video ‘California Gurls’!
The ‘California Gurls’ hitmaker is adamant she has to strive to keep ahead of her pop rivals, and has compared the music industry to stripper film Showgirls.
She tells Britain’s Guardian magazine, “You have to bust your a** at this which is why you don’t find me getting s**tfaced (drunk) in bars… It’s so intense, it’s like you catch a rocket and you’re hanging on for dear life and you’re like, ‘Go!”

Houston Strip Clubs: Could Rocks Off Last An Entire Hour On The Washington Wave?

4:11 p.m.: So Friday night, Houston Press music editor Chris Gray called and said, “Hey, I had an idea. Why don’t you ride The Wave for an hour and do one of those timelines you always do. It could be good.” It seemed like a solid idea at the time; drunk people usually do all sorts of nonsensical tomfoolery worth writing about.
But after about four minutes riding on it, it very clearly was a sucker deal. There’s all types of amazingness going on outside, and we’re stuck in what is essentially a moving vomitorium. It smells like a frat house in here. This is the worst. We’ve been hustled, big time. Gray might as well have been like, “Yo, we’re all going to this really great strip club tomorrow. You should come. It’s gonna be great. Oh, but you can only hang out in the restroom.”

Houston Strip Clubs: PERRY ABSTAINS FROM BOOZE TO KEEP COMPETITORS AT BAY

KATY PERRY will never be caught stumbling drunk out of a bar – because she has to work too hard to maintain her pop career.
The singer insists her life is too busy to spend time boozing, and she regularly works 13-hour days in the studio or on tour.
And the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker is adamant she has to strive to keep ahead of her pop rivals, comparing the music industry to stripper film Showgirls.
She tells Britain’s Guardian magazine, “You have to bust your a** at this which is why you don’t find me getting s**tfaced (drunk) in bars that much. It’s so intense, it’s like you catch a rocket and you’re hanging on for dear life and you’re like, ‘Go!’
“The second record I’m more buckled in because, God, how many times do you see people slump on their sophomore record? Nine out of 10? But I’m still working, like, 13-hour days, five, six days a week and singing on top of it. And knowing that there’s someone right behind me, ready to go, ready to push me down the stairs, just like in Showgirls.”
