Beijing Strip Clubs: Creative Time Crashes Chinatown: Peking Duck, Karaoke Fete Andrea and Marc …
A present-day token of affection came from artists Tara Donovan and Robbie Crawford, who presented the Glimchers with a Lego replica of Beijing Pace. The Lego people out front are Glimcher look-alikes.
After peking duck but before the fortune cookie and ice cream bar opened, the Glimchers took the stage to perform. Mrs. Glimcher said it was her first time singing karaoke. The tunes: Captain & Tennille’s “Love will keep us together” and “Do it to me one more time.” Mr. Glimcher played the keyboard. (Honoree performances are a nascent Creative Time tradition: last year, Ray Learsy and Melva Bucksbaum performed a number from “Guys and Dolls,” and the year prior, honoree Beth Rudin DeWoody was serenaded with the help of male strippers.) The event drew 400 people and raised about $1 million for the organization.

Beijing Strip Clubs: OLYMPICS: END OF AN ERA WITH DEATH OF JUAN ANTONIO SAMARANCH
OLYMPICS: END OF AN ERA WITH DEATH OF JUAN ANTONIO SAMARANCH
Thursday April 22,2010
THE death of Juan Antonio Samaranch, the seventh president of the International Olympic Committee, aged 89, yesterday brought to a close the most revolutionary period in the history of the Olympic movement.
Elected in 1980, Spaniard Samaranch, seized a near-bankrupt organisation and, within the first 10 years of a reign that lasted 21, transformed both the IOC and the Games beyond recognition. Not everyone approved.
Yet he transformed an old-fashioned, amateur gentlemans club to a condition of frontline professionalism, both within the executive and in the medal-winning arena.
Those 10 years were the first of two revolutions; primarily, the formal acceptance in 1987, against a background of 70 years resistance, of a world that embraced top sponsors.

Beijing Strip Clubs: Make a dash for it
Ranter on the pull
A BOOZY airport punter who screamed “I hate Iceland” on live TV claimed last night his new cult-hero status might help him find a WOMAN.
An internet clip of the rant by Anton McEneny, 23, has been viewed more than 150,000 times and spawned two music remixes.
The Glasgow factory worker hit the bar after his flight to the Czech Republic was axed due to the volcanic ash from Iceland. He then yelled the abuse during a Sky TV report from Edinburgh Airport.
After being told he’s now famous, Anton, left, said: “Hopefully I’ll get recognised and get a bird.
“But I STILL hate Iceland. If it wasn’t for them I’d be sitting in a strip club in Prague now.”
He added: “My sister says I’m an embarrassment.”

Beijing Strip Clubs: Turn Off Your Lights, Richmond
U.S. landmarks such as Mount Rushmore, St. Louis’ Gateway Arch, the Las Vegas strip and the Empire State Building, and world attractions like the Eiffel Tower, Sydney’s Opera House and Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are just some of the hundreds of sites that will turn off non-essential lighting for the hour.
Here are some lights that Richmond could turn off to participate in this year’s Earth Hour. Thanks to a bunch of Twitter folks for the additional suggestions.
Club Velvet’s completely pointless spotlight. We know where the strippers are.
The new MeadWestvaco building. It doesn’t need to be seen from space.
The spinning marquee outside Movieland with the numerous blinking lights (the one facing Boulevard). People will still know where Movieland is.
The Christmas lights my idiot neighbors still have on their house.
The Sauer’s billboard on Broad St. I think it’s nice too, but I’d be okay with the chef not pouring vanilla extract for an hour.
The lights in Richbrau. They have been on every day. I know for a fact they aren’t open. Or are they reopening…?

Beijing Strip Clubs: Sex and the state-controlled banks
Now there is a case – which I put last July before it became fashionable to do so (see my note “Why men are to blame for the crunch”) – that the absence of women from the top of banks and financial companies meant that the atmosphere of board rooms during the bubble years was heavy with testosterone; and the consequence was a culture of dangerous risk-taking in the macho pursuit of short-term profits and bonuses.
You may dispute that. But even if you do, you surely can’t believe that entrepreneurial, wealth creating talents reside exclusively in the Y chromosome. So the dearth of women at the top must surely be depriving the UK of incremental income at a time when we need every penny we can squeeze to pay our way in the world.
But if companies will be forced to produce a report card on their efforts to make their senior management team look a bit more – in a gender sense – like the world rather than a dusty gentlemen’s club, it’s perfectly reasonable to examine Gordon Brown’s record.

Beijing Strip Clubs: Boobs: Now We Know Why ‘Avatar’ Is So Stupid
Back in December of 2009, in a Playboy article, the director acknowledged there was no biological need for the breasts. So why did he do it, asked Lipton? He replied “”Because this is a movie for human people.” Rather than make the aliens repulsive (as they were in “District 9”) he wanted to make them appealing. So he acknowledged that he put breasts on the Na’vi women for no other reason than to gain sympathy from humans. In other words, he knowingly pandered to the lowest common denominator.
He also bragged about how he programmed the computers so that Princess Neytiri’s feather necklace would always cover her nipples, to assure a PG-13 rating. It also made the film a two and three quarters hour strip tease for adolescent boys; who spent the entire film hoping for an errant breeze; a pair of aces from a stacked deck; a chance to glimpse the mysteries of life in three dimensional, seven-story IMAX glory. No wonder there were suicides after the movie was over.

Beijing Strip Clubs: The world brings its vice to Vancouver
Let the sex games begin. Olympic fever is taking hold in Metro Vancouver’s sex industry, with businesses and workers preparing to welcome a deluge of eager visitors.
One purveyor of sex for sale is seeking to entice new prostitutes with promises of tens of thousands of dollars. Vancouver’s most prominent strip club is planning Olympicthemed decorations, but keeping them secret for fear of a clampdown by Olympics authorities. And one Metro Vancouver escort service is hiring dozens of women from across the country for the Games — and is already catering to Olympics-related demand.
In Vancouver, hotel doormen, bell captains and concierges who refer guests to entertainment venues have been warning Brandy Sarionder to expect hordes of clients at her high-end strip club Brandi’s and her massage parlour The Swedish Touch, she says.

Beijing Strip Clubs: Going For Gold In The Cold
Despite all these issues, the Vancouver games will likely have dozens, perhaps hundreds, of viewers. If you’re among those who are new to the winter games, however, I should explain that these Olympics consist primarily of three types of events: traditional cold-weather sports (hockey, skiing, speed skating), activities that most likely originated as drunken fraternity dares (ski jump, luge, naked ice beer pong) and sports that would more accurately be termed “non-sports” (figure skating, ice dancing, curling). And before crazed fans of figure skating and curling begin firing off a lot of angry emails, let me point out that I won’t read them, so don’t bother.
I mean, come on, figure skating a sport? Not as long as the medal winners are chosen by judges who are easier to pay off than a Tijuana strip club doorman. And curling? Sorry, but I refuse to recognize any Olympic event involving brooms as long as the IOC continues to reject demands to accept Quidditch as a medal sport.

Beijing Strip Clubs: China Plans Online Gambling Crackdown
Widespread protests in Iran after a contested presidential election alerted Beijing to the potential for protesters and dissidents to use social media to spread their message.
…
Macau remains the regions hotspot for legal gambling, where recently Australian casino king James Packer has seen his Melco-Crown Entertainment City Of Dreams, Macau, achieve recent profits and visitors, a development that insiders are calling the gambling “comeback of the decade”. Asian gambling tsar Stanley Ho will be looking for some of Packer’s recent good fortune as Ho is said to be struggling to regain his full health since suffering a stroke and undergoing brain surgery last August. Media and gaming commentators remain divided as to the current health Status of Ho. Macau’s casino district has borrowed one page out of Vegas’s book… they now has a Cotai Strip (but it is unclear if they are legal or illegal strip clubs in downtown Cotai). What is known however is that when things become “illegal” they go underground and usually become more popular and profitable.

Beijing Strip Clubs: Vancouver’s Olympic Craigslist: From hot dogs to hot heads
More than 1,000 Olympic housing options have been listed since Feb. 1. They range from $25,000 penthouse digs to a $100-per-night stay with a host whose pets’ names reflect their owner’s interest in the Knights of the Round Table.
Some are looking to profit from the Games by appealing to entrepreneurs.
A “mint condition” mini-bus is still on the Craigslist market, as is a “damn near mint condition” hot dog cart. The $28,000 bus is licensed to provide tours and limo service while the $7,500 cart might be a welcome sight for hungry event-goers outside a SkyTrain station.
Other locals are looking to profit by being entrepreneurs themselves.
A recent piece appeared on The Vancouver Sun’s Web site describing the Olympic effect on the city’s adult industry. Needless to say in a country where prostitution is technically legal and a city known for its strip clubs and escort services, Craigslist advertises for plenty of “adult gigs” during the Games.
