Even if it wasnât announced during a campaign to end violence against woman, it still drums up feelings about chilling murders dating back to 1888 in the other London. Not to mention the stripper connotation to the word which led to one of my favourite tweets:
âÂIf hubby says heâs going to the rippers tonight, should that be a red flag or should you send the kids?â #justcheckingâ
The most difficult part of this branding strike-out is how people feel. From the comments on social media itâs easy to glean that people are not embracing the whole Jack the Diamond character as one of their own. Rather they generally feel like the owner made a mistake that he wonât admit to. By using this name and logo, people feel like itâs in poor taste, bad judgement, disgraceful, disempowering toward women and counterintuitive to how hard society has worked to end violence against women. This list represents generalizations, but they are all words pulled from the twitterverse.

An overreaction? Perhaps …

Natasha Bassingthwaighte & Family Take A Sunny Stroll In Sydney
Australian X-Factor judge Natalie Bassingthwaighte and her fiancé Cameron McGlinchey were spotted taking their 1-year-old daughter Harper out for a sunny stroll in Sydney, Australia on Monday (November 14).
The cute couple – who are due to walk down the aisle next month – stopped for a coffee as they enjoyed their family time together.
And keeping with tradition, Natalie’s X-Factor co-host and former Spice Girl Melanie Brown threw her a spicy bachelorette party to properly bid farewell to her single status, complete with a saucy stripper.
“I made her (go) crazy – I got her a stripper,” Melanie reveals. “(He was) fully nude! “He showed her his bits and pieces. I tried to get a midget one but couldn’t get one…”
Sydney Strip Clubs: Australian Open organisers go all out to ensure Tiger Woods enjoys his stay in …
November 6, 2011
Having already signed Woods to what is being hailed the best field in Australian Open history, Roosenburg now wants to ensure the man behind the Nike swoosh comes back to Sydney.
Again and again and again.
And to win him over, the Dutch-born golf promoter has compiled a five-star checklist that includes everything from schmick Star Casino accommodation through to seafood platters, harbour cruises and a string of chauffeured vehicles.
“This really is the revival of the Australian Open,” Roosenburg said last night.
…
“A lot of them will be first-timers to Sydney, we need to win them over.”
Of course, given his “colourful” past – which includes a penchant for strippers, prostitutes and busty cocktail waitresses – there will be no shortage of gags surrounding what Sydney should really give the Tiger to make his trip memorable.

While she couldn’t recall how many strip clubs they’d been to, Brown said she and her husband were decidedly happy with what they had found Down Under.
…
Indeed, Brown said she was so impressed with what the city had to offer, she and her husband were considering buying a house in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, close to where she is currently living with her three children in a rented apartment in Point Piper.

Heading into the season opener, the Sydney FC players were perfectly behaved, at least by their own standards, with no internal fines issued in a fortnight – a record for the club. Then Mark Bridge got sent off in the heat of the battle in Melbourne, and the end-of-season trip [which is funded by the fines] received a much-needed deposit. Now the list of about 30 ”offences” has grown by one. Diving has been added, as the Sydney players have made it clear they didn’t rate the actions of Roddy Vargas when confronted by Bridge. ”A line in the sand” is how chief executive Dirk Melton describes it, but now the players have to live up to their stance.

A senior public servant in Western Australia has been charged with vandalising 135 luxury cars with paint-stripper in a crime spree that has been going on since January. Gilles Gaudet was arrested yesterday after a police raid on his home, and has been bailed to appear in court next month. Among the vehicles damaged was a $385,000 Mercedes-Benz owned by Perth Glory backer Tony Sage.

Sydney Strip Clubs: Black Postcards: Kent MacCarter interviews Dean Wareham (part one)
October 10, 2011
Kent MacCarter: How did a boy from Wellington, NZ – with early teenage years in Sydney – become the heir apparent to Andy Warhol’s Superstars, the Velvet Underground and the epitome of New York ‘cool’?
…
Very strange, for a few reasons. There aren’t any venues more iconic than the Sydney Opera House. I was there in a boat in Sydney Harbour the day it officially opened. But the strangest part of that trip was being picked up at the airport and driven to our hotel, which was located directly across the street from St Andrews Church in downtown Sydney. I attended St Andrews school in 1973 and 1974 (before moving on to Sydney Grammar), so I was surprised to be right back on that street.

Your book, Black Postcards, reflects far more lines and lines of poignancy than it does cocaine, strippers’ g-strings and bent television antennae – the typical fodder of rock memoir excess. There’s no wall of guitar to hide behind in writing, let alone memoir. Was that difficult to come to terms with? Having a book out there, forever to be in the public sphere?
