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. The page presents
links from mainstream news media. It
is not our intention to include links to actual adult material
or items
from the adult entertainment press.
However,
sometimes a link may inadvertently appear which is completely
inappropriate for a general audience. Discretion is advised. If
you are easily offended, you should look carefully at a headline
and its source before bringing up a given news item.
All
items are selected by well known search engines. Please
realize that The
Vasthead has no control over the specific items which
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.
This
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.
Many
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. For example, you might see an
article that is about a paint stripper instead of the kind of
stripper who performs in bars.
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.
The
RSS news feeds may sometimes fail to appear.
At other times, items may not be properly formatted, temporarily
distorting the appearance of this page.
