Sydney Strip Clubs: Hotshots heating up Drummoyne
March 9, 2010
It’s not about the beautifully sculpted bodies or the removal of clothing, but about one hell of a fun night out.
The Sydney Hotshots “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” tour is coming to Drummoyne Club on March 12. But it won’t be your typical show, with choreography by Rhiannon Villareal from season one of So You Think You Can Dance.
The Sydney Hotshots tour nationally and internationally, performing more than 300 shows annually. This year’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” tour is packed with choreographed routines, professional sound and lighting, games and audience participation.
“It’s not sleazy,” Hotshot Brayden said. “The biggest illusion around it is the whole strippers and drugs scene, the whole kit and caboodle.”
He said the choreographed dances are rehearsed everyday, with pride and professionalism.
Brayden worked hard to get himself onstage with the amazingly fit Hotshots. “I started in the office as a sales rep then from there went on the road as a roadie,” he said.
The conspiracy was so named after federal police charged 11 men over the theft of $150 million from the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme. The men include: a Sydney nightclub owner; an international banker; a fraud investigator; a Telstra worker; and a pensioner.
Jamieson Vincent, 40, pleaded guilty yesterday to money laundering on the first day of a four-week trial. The guilty plea came more than six years after he committed the crime.
He is part of a crime group. Members of that group ran strip clubs, were associated with the Bandidos Motorcycle Club and worked with the late Sydney Mr Big Leonard Arthur ”Lennie” McPherson.
…
Yesterday in the Sydney District Court Vincent, a short, heavy-set man, stood while the court officer read out the charge against him. When asked how he pleaded, he responded with a sharp ”guilty”.
Sydney Escorts: Enough is enough on Rydalmere brothels

THE oldest profession in the world has caused quite a stir in one of Parramatta’s oldest suburbs of Rydalmere with residents presenting a petition against the latest brothel application to NSW Opposition Leader Barry O’Farrell.
Not one to miss a chance to attack the Government, Mr O’Farrell doesn’t mind becoming Brothel Buster Barry, speaking out against the high concentration of brothels in the industrial area of Rydalmere which happens to be very close to family homes.
O’Farrell has hit out at the Government for “reneging’’ on a guarantee that councils could decide where brothels go when it decriminalised brothels and massage parlours in 1995.
Parramatta Council has found its hands have been tied, with the Land and Environment Court invariably approving applications the council and community do not want.
Sydney Strip Clubs: It’s a sexport success story
March 7, 2010
Bobbi – her professional name – said her three Australian schools, including two in Sydney, cater for about 1400 students a week. She has passed on her skills to instructors from the US, Britain, Germany, Portugal and Singapore.
”You can pretty much talk to any pole dancing school in the world and they’ll agree: ‘You guys are the leaders in the industry. You guys rock,”’ said Bobbi, who started her business with Vanessa Brecht at Miranda six years ago.
”The Singapore girls have been nagging me for two years [to open there].”
Andrea Pinhreiro, 33, is a pole dancing instructor from Portugal who flew to Sydney for two weeks of intensive training with Bobbi.
…
But Vanessa Brecht said Singapore and Malaysia did not have strip clubs so the activity was viewed purely as sport and did not have sexual overtones.
Wanted, which is part-owned by big-betting Sydney brothel owner Eddie Hayson, had finished second in three group 1 sprints at his past four starts.
”We were beaten by a freakish performance in the Lightning and we probably got a tad greedy running in the two races in between,” Moody said. ”We freshened him up, kept him happy, had him in the right frame of mind for today.”
Moody, who also started Tickets (16th), Duporth (ninth) and Headway (sixth) in the Newmarket, didn’t bother loading stable jockey Luke Nolen up with riding instructions. ”We said to Luke if he wanted to run a little bit let him do it – don’t fight him, let him do his own thing,”Moody said.

The four-run winning streak of Sydney flyer All Silent on the Flemington track came undone when the favourite placed 11th in the Newmarket.
Sydney Strip Clubs: Pornstar Monica Mayhem Used To Be A Commodities And Currency Trader
March 4, 2010
Apparently the Australian born porn actress called Monica Mayhem was a futures trader in Sydney, and then did forex and commodities in London.
…
I used to work in financial markets/futures trading in Sydney, Australia. I then traveled to Europe and moved to London and worked in an IPE brokerage (International Petroleum Exchange). I got sick of that world, I started dancing at the newly opened Spearmint Rhino on Tottenham Court Road. I also did a couple of softcore photo/video shoots. One night, at the club, I met one of the owners of the Rhino, and I was drunk and dared him to fly me back to the states with him that same night. Four hours later we were headed to Texas. A couple of days after that I went to LA. A few days later I met an agent, who talked me into doing hardcore scenes, and the rest is history!

The accused paedophile Frederick Rix says he fears for his life and that the fire that engulfed his Rosebery home yesterday was a deliberate firebomb attack.
Mr Rix, 82, is a person of interest at the inquest into the death of a Sydney teenage prostitute, set to resume in October.
He told the Herald yesterday he had been harassed and abused for years as a result of allegations against him and that those responsible for the fire had clearly meant to cause harm.
Engulfed by fire … the Rosebery home of Fred Rix.
”They thought I was inside and they wanted to finish the job,” he said.
Police are still investigating the cause of the fire and are yet to determine whether it was deliberately lit. Mr Rix had been in court yesterday when police phoned to tell him about the fire, which ripped through the top floor of the three-storey Gardeners Road property just after 10.20am.
Mr Rix’s son Mark told reporters that his father had been staying at the house, which was up for sale.
The house was actually owned by Mr Rix’s daughter and son-in-law, he said.
“It’s been deliberately lit,” he said.
“You don’t have to be Einstein to work it out. There’s that many people dirty on my father for something he didn’t do.
“They are just scumbags. They do things behind your back. God help them if I find out who’s done it.”
Police have closed two of three eastbound lanes on Gardeners Road while investigations continue.
Mr Rix, 82, was a person of interest at the inquest into the death of a Sydney teenage prostitute, which was adjourned last October.
The remains of Arron Light, 17, were found buried on the banks of a canal in Sydney’s inner west in March 2002.
But in the City of Sydney, swinging is a serious business, with several clubs and a growing number of full-time premises catering to the swingers’ market.
…
There are more than a dozen swingers’ clubs and groups operating in Sydney and most can be contacted via a quick internet search. However, many use temporary sites such as hotels and cruise ships to avoid zoning and use problems experienced by some of the permanent clubs.
…
“They are consenting adults. It’s not prostitution and it’s not illegal so there should be no prohibitions attached to it,” she said. “Like other developments, it should just come down to parking, noise and lighting.”
But Adam said it was good that swingers’ clubs and brothels were regulated under the same rules, as it meant people were less able to use a swingers club as a front for an illegal brothel.
“When council classed it all as the same, and that was good, it basically meant people could not open an illegal brothel,” he said.
The seven-member group hails from the Poconos, but the roots of most of the members are in New Jersey and New York City. The band was formed in late 2009 with three members of the New Orleans-style funk band Funk ‘N Gumbo and a number of New York jazz/soul/R&B musicians who relocated to the Poconos. The members of MOJOMO! have backed NYC and World Music acts throughout the country and the world.
As a member of the nationally known The Coasters, lead vocalist and percussionist Ron Richardson has toured the world and was one of the first Americans to perform in Red China. Saxophonist Michael Williams has performed at in New Orleans at Jazz Fest and has toured worldwide, including a tour in Africa.
The songs on the new EP release “Trippin’ for Biscuits” represent a cross-section of the music the band performs. The first cut, “Storyville,” is about a regular visitor to the one-time red light district of New Orleans. The funky title cut, “Trippin’ for Biscuits,” is the first original the band composed. The EP is being released in advance of a full-length CD due later this year.
