About This Page

This page features live news feeds about cabaret clubs. It is not intended to promote either a favorable or unfavorable view of topless clubs, nude clubs, or other live adult entertainment businesses. It relies on mainstream news media and does not normally include items from the adult entertainment press.

The page supplements the Houston Topless Dancer Survey, a 1997 research project which has been on line since 1998. The news items provide some current perspective on community battles against strip clubs and problems connected to the clubs in various places.

Most of these searches are based on the term "strip club." That seems to be the phrase journalists favor for news stories about topless bars, nude bars, and "sexually oriented" cabaret clubs of all kinds.

Sometimes items appear about club regulatory battles around the nation. Those items can be very relevant to the Houston Topless Dancer Survey page.

However, most of the strip club news is only loosely related to the material on this site. In some cases, a search engine will misfire and bring up a story completely unrelated to topless bars, nude bars, or sexually oriented businesses.

Sometimes a single event making the national news (such as one involving a celebrity or major gunplay or both) will dominate the list of strip club news stories. That tends to crowd out news which would be more relevant to local cabaret club regulatory battles. If you are doing research on city and state strip club regulation, we suggest that you monitor these stories for several weeks or months.

Please realize that The Vasthead has no control over the items that appear. Normally, the items are straight journalism written in fairly objective language. Nonetheless, they may cover aspects of strip clubs and sexual situations more extreme than the cautious articles on this web site. Discretion is advised.

The RSS news feeds may sometimes fail to appear. At other times, items may not be properly formatted, temporarily distorting the appearance of the page.
