San Diego Escorts: Mountain man
July 23, 2009 at 2:24 am | In San Diego escorts | No CommentsUntil recently, Trevisan had a day job as a graphic artist at the North County Times. He’s now an unemployment-collecting casualty of the newspaper-industry collapse who lives with his parents in Escondido. And that might just be a good thing.
“People ask me if I get bored on unemployment, but I’m out pimping my band all day long. People can get annoying when they talk about their bands all the time, but that’s a major part of my life. Uh, I hope I’m not annoying.”
When he’s not out pimping, Trevisan actually does manage some solid songwriting. And with all his newfound spare time, he can put serious effort into what was always more of a hobby. Since junior high, when he fingered sax in the school band—an admission that elicits five minutes of band-geek anecdotes around the table—he’s wanted to play music.
San Diego Strip Clubs: San Diego pastor Miles McPherson discusses Miss California flap
July 17, 2009 at 9:00 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No Comments… When I did chapel with him for the Colts right before they lost to the Chargers in the playoffs, I would say 75 percent of the team was in the room,” McPherson said. “I’ve never done a chapel before with 75 percent of the team in the room. There were guys standing against the wall and I don’t know if all his coaching staff was there, but I would say most of them were. Those guys really respect that man. What he stands for is absolutely genuine. The guy’s reputation speaks for itself.”
Building a similar commitment within his congregation to serving the community is central to McPherson’s approach. A wide range of ministries exist from sports camps to women going to strip clubs and connecting with prostitutes to try and help them turn their lives around.
San Diego Strip Clubs: Who’s Harassing Whom?
July 16, 2009 at 5:00 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsThe complaint alleged that Platinum executives “show favoritism towards female employees who consent to the employer’s sexual advances by rewarding them with money, gifts and travel, [meanwhile] promoting or rewarding women based on appearance and submission to sexual advances by PE executives, and financially supporting former employees to keep them quiet.”
Further, the company “intimidates, coerces or terminates female employees if they question or refuse to go along with the sexually charged atmosphere,” the Jane Doe suit alleged. It claimed that Gores and his top lieutenants had affairs with female employees and accompanied female assistants to strip clubs. One of the plaintiffs charged that one executive “constantly made sexually charged comments at work such as, ‘Hey, do you want to see what’s in a man’s underwear?’ and ‘What do you say my hot dog goes between your buns?’ ”
San Diego Adult Entertainment: Pat Launer on San Diego theater: ‘Macbeth,’ Noises’
July 16, 2009 at 9:01 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsHassan El-Amin, the newly named artistic director of Common Ground, a protégé of Floyd Gaffney, directs with a light hand. The set (Adam Lindsay) is simple: a bandstand, a small stage, and two playing spaces for the living quarters/backstage areas of the legendary performers. Looming overhead are two huge, knockout paintings of the Jazz Queens, by Todd Gomes-Aviv, who received his fine arts degree from SDSU. The costumes (Jennifer Mah) are attractive and period-appropriate (Billie died in 1959, at age 44; Dinah passed in 1963, at age 39). The gowns capture the superstar sparkle and the iconic look of the singers, including, of course, Billie’s gardenia. The sound design (Tom Jones) is crisp. And the four-piece band, under the musical direction of ace pianist Anthony Smith, is terrific (Doug Walker on bass, Peter August on sax and Richard Sellers on drums).
Influential people in the performers’ lives make brief appearances: Lionel Hampton (Rhys Green), who was a close friend of Dinah; Holiday’s mother, “Duchess,” and a prostitute who gave the bisexual Billie her first French kiss (both characters played by compelling Chondra La-Tease-Profit). Green is forceful and frightening as Clarence, Billie’s abusive boyfriend.
San Diego Adult Entertainment: A Walk on the Stingaree, Part 3
July 16, 2009 at 9:01 am | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsRedwood doesn’t usually burn. But the cheesecloth tacked to the wood, and the wallpaper pasted over, made most of the walls on Third a natural fire hazard. Yankee Doodle Hall and the Pacific Squadron had so many blazes that the regulars doubled as volunteer firemen. In 1897, a fire broke out at Yankee Doodle. An unnamed prostitute, dressed in “scanty raiment,” died when she raced into the flames to save her dog.
…
In April, 1898, an African-American named Jesse Daley tended bar at the Tub of Blood. “The most popular of the colored race in the city” (San Diego Union), Daley had lived with Ida Tracy, daughter of a Caucasian captain and a Chinook woman, in the Stingaree for several years. Newspapers called Tracy a “habitué of the lower portion of the city,” implying that she worked as a prostitute, possibly at the Green Light, a few doors down Third from the Tub of Blood.

San Diego Strip Clubs: Something to Smile About
July 15, 2009 at 5:00 pm | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsI walked in and heard adults in the kitchen complaining about the Iranian elections. I talked to Mahsa’s mom, who told me, “My older sister is considered the elder now, since my parents have passed away. In our culture, we respect them and seek their counsel. She came to all the girls’ graduations and considers education something that no one can take away from you. Given the turmoil in Iran and the role that Iranian women have taken in this uprising…seeing our daughters graduate and wanting to get a higher education is something to smile about.”
I went back into the living room and heard some teenagers on the couch laughing and joking. Mahsa had already split for her grad night.
When the topic of religion came up, one boy said, “I am a pasta-farian. I pray to a great spaghetti monster in a bowl of pasta that rotates around the sun.” A cute girl with her hands on his knee laughed uncontrollably. An older person standing nearby looked confused and asked for clarification. The teenager continued with his take on heaven and something about it being filled with strippers. The adult headed back into the kitchen.
San Diego Strip Clubs: Reports from the scene
July 15, 2009 at 1:00 am | In San Diego strip clubs | No CommentsThe term “new dive” might be an oxymoron, but two years into its run, Imperial Beach’s Crystal Cove Cocktails (995 Palm Ave.)—with its daily drink specials, staff of friendly tatted-up “intoxicologists” and not one but two stripper poles set-up in the back—has proven to be I.B.’s ultimate rule breaker, though it strictly enforces one rule that’s posted by the door: “Absolutely no whole peanuts. You will be asked to leave.”
Formerly known as The Silver Sands, “an old fogies place,” says regular Jane, a 50-something tax specialist who serves as the Cove’s self-appointed “principal,” the watering hole is now huge with the rockabilly and rockachola pompadour-loving set and has served as the backdrop for all sorts of celebrations, ranging from birthday parties to wedding receptions.
…
As for the stripper poles, turns out they were a Christmas gift from Cervantes’ 77-year-old dad. “I told him I wanted one. An awkward silence followed, and then he surprised me by saying, ‘How about two?’”

As Comic Riffs prepares to head to the ‘Con in San Diego’s Convention Center — and wade among the 125,000-plus fanboys and fangirls over four days — there will be the usual embarrassment of comics riches, as well as ever-burgeoning Hollywood “Presence.” And this Riffster will also be seeking out the off-site sideshows. Exhibit A: Tom (voice of “SpongeBob”) Kenny tells Comic Riffs that he’ll be performing a concert that Sunday afternoon — warbling mostly in-character, we presume — so we’ll be sure to wander over to check out exactly how Bikini Bottom sounds live.
San Diego Adult Entertainment: Men from U.S., Mexico report ‘risky’ sex with Tijuana prostitutes …
July 11, 2009 at 6:01 pm | In San Diego adult entertainment | No CommentsA large percentage of men who regularly have sex with prostitutes in Tijuana do not use condoms and have a history of drug and alcohol abuse, according to a binational study published Friday in the online journal AIDS.
…
The researchers said that Tijuana has a “thriving” prostitution trade and though local authorities regularly test registered “sex workers” for AIDS, only about half of prostitutes have registered or been tested.
More than half of the men had had unprotected sex within the last four months, the researchers found. The average customer is 36 years old, unmarried and visits prostitutes more than 25 times a year.
Many reported being under the influence of drugs, particularly methamphetamine, while having sex with a prostitute.
Thomas L. Patterson of the UC San Diego’s department of psychiatry and the Veterans Affairs health center, said the study’s results show the need for an education campaign aimed at men who frequent prostitutes about the dangers involved.
