Stripper Porn Will Get You Out Of Iraq
Five years into the war in Iraq, and I had no idea military guys aren't allowed to have any porn over there. That's perhaps because there don't seem to have been too many soldiers actually thrown out of the country over the stuff, probably because the armed services need every last person they can get. Six-figure private contractor gigs in Iraq, on the other hand, are still somewhat coveted, so ITT small-arms repairman Brian Sayler was pretty bummed to be ejected for possessing some DVDs he got free on a stateside break. A stripper, Cassidey (pictured), in Stoughton, Mass., patriotically donated a free lap dance to Sayler, along with a collection of free porn movies such as "Cassidey's Day Off." Both the military and its contractors have had a lax policy toward enforcing the porn ban, according to an article in Boston magazine, but for some reason Sayler's building in Iraq was searched and he was sent packing. He ended up winning reinstatement on appeal, but that's not the point: If porno freedom for brave troops abroad isn't Change We Can Believe In, then what is? [Boston]

The Naked Cowgirl!
A mostly-naked lady of a certain age took to the streets in Times Square, playing a guitar as "the naked cowgirl." What no one seems to realize is that we're preeeetty sure that it's actually Sandy Kane! She's a career stripper, stripper-comedian, late-night cable star, and overall cult figure/holdover from the grimy old days of Times Square. Rock on, Sandy! [via Intelligencer; photo Bennett Marcus]

Oscar De La Hoya: Not A Cross Dresser After All
Remember those pictures of boxing champ Oscar de la Hoya wearing fishnets and stilettos that surfaced last fall? And he said that they were fakes, but everybody was like "Ha, yea, right. Of course you say that, trannie boy." Well, turns out they were really fake! I'll be darned. Oscar's reputation will never fully recover, but it must be said: this was great Photoshop work: More »

Visit Cousin Vinny's Strippers-And-Sandwiches Club Tonight!
There's a new hotspot in The Bronx that you simply won't want to miss unless you hate sex and lunch meat. It's COUSIN VINNY'S LITTLE SECRET! Tell us: where else can you pay just $50 for six hours of hardcore lap dance action, unlimited fountain soda, and a footlong sandwich of your choice, all in "a discrete and totally safe atmosphere to indulge in your carnal fantasies": namely, a former Subway sandwich franchise. In the Bronx! We've been sent a transcribed version of the flier that "Cousin Vinny" Agnello—owner of a stripper service and the self-described "King of Bling featured as a "Celebrity" on the DIGGS WEBSITE" (two Diggs!)— is reportedly passing around the area. Our tipster says the local merchant's association is...concerned about Cousin Vinny's new venture. But we predict this will be a hot alternative to seeing Sex And The City. "MEMBERSHIP HAS IT'S PRIVILEDGES!" Vinny's full, quirkily awesome invitation, after the jump: More »

Scores Strip Club Sues New York for Police Corruption
Oh, Scores! They've just filed a lawsuit against the city of New York and the State Liquor Authority, saying that the police are corrupt! Actually, it's Scores West, the slightly trashier cousin of Scores East, the famous Howard Stern-patronized rumored-to-be-mobbed-up strip club, where some working gals were busted for prostitution last year. (Anecdotes I've heard from former Scores dancers confirm its place in hell.) The police probably are corrupt, but this is the same place that openly tolerates prostitution, and even had secret rooms in the Scores West location specifically for that purpose. More »

Hippie Tits Save Animals, Patriarchy
Remember the Vegan strip club in Portland we wrote about Monday? Well, the Times went town on the story in Styles today, snagging a photo inside the for-sale club, finding an LA girl band called the Vegan Vixens who sing about the joys of pleather and pointing out that punky porno outfit the Suicide Girls helped PETA make an anti-fur ad campaign (pictured). "Sexuality is what society will turn its head for more than anything else," PETA's president told the Times. Predictably, not all hemp-wearers are thrilled to see women exploited for the faint hope of getting meat-eating oglers to stop eating steak and so forth: More »
Vegan Strip Club Thrown to Dogs
The country's first vegan strip club, of course located near Portland, OR, is up for sale almost as quickly as it opened, via a minimalist Craigslist ad: "Own your own gentlemen's club. Beautiful interior. Good times. Email for more information. Serious buyers only." So the vegan thing isn't working out? P.S. to prospective buyers: NO FATTIES!

We'll Never Let You Forget About That One Night at the Strip Club
Five years after a visit to the Scores gentleman's club, Australia's prime minister Kevin Rudd is still catching hell. And it's all the fault of the New York Post! (Fellow Aussie and NYP editor Col Allan was the one who took him there.) Now that Rudd is campaigning to curb teenage drinking, his opponents are not going to let him forget about his own foibles. The prime minister has pointed that he is no "Captain Perfect," whoever that is. We're sure he's the only man in Australia to ever have gotten drunk at a strip club! Concludes an AP article, "Australians are relatively tolerant of excessive drinking. Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke held a Guinness World Record for speed beer drinking during his days as a Rhodes Scholar." [Associated Press]

When CNN interviewed former U.S. Attorney Kendall Coffey about the Eliot Spitzer mess this morning, they kinda left out the bit where Coffey resigned in disgrace back in 1996 after he bit a stripper. Quoth Coffey: "This is not survivable." [TVNewser]

Pole-Dancing Perfectly Acceptable for Mexican Lawmaker
Dalia Perez is a state legislator in Mexico, now. But she used to do a little bit of actin', and her striptease scene from the 2006 film Xalapeno Chiles recently got YouTubed. She "plays a table dancer named Ana having an affair with a powerful politician," reports the International Herald-Tribune. She's getting beat on in the Mexican press, but whatever. Go on with your bad self, girl! (Pole-dancing video follows.) More »
Or Checked This Hot New Thing Called 'Google Image Search'
Dear Internet: If you really wanted to see photos of screenwriter Diablo Cody's nipples, you could've just read her old City Pages blog, where all of them came from. Honestly, people.

Post Finds Way To Make Oscars About Stripper Tattoo
Hey, New York Post: Was the Best Original Screenplay Oscar really the most important award of the night, and deserving of your cover shot? I mean, I know the Post is a strong supporter of the literary arts, but isn't that going a little overboard in terms of placement? Oh, right. The winner, Diablo Cody, has that big ass tattoo of a bikini-wearing stripper girl on her arm. Way to get it on the cover! And that other, oral sex-ish shot of her (after the jump) you got on the inside page—that's what makes you the leading entertainment news outlet that you are. More »

Sneaky Marketers Use Strippers Against You
When the concept of viral marketing first began circulating in the tech-boom '90s, it was, while still deceitful and annoying, at least more creative than it is today. You got the feeling that all those young web-friendly ad rats really put some thought into the funny little videos and games and stuff that they were using to conceal their unwanted sales pitch. Now, though, the standards for what's "viral" have, like most other things on the interweb, come down to one thing: boobs. This promotion for Xbox 360 [via Adrants] has just a cursory nod to humor, wit, and plot, before going right to the stripper taking off her top. Aaaaaaaand... then throw in the ad at the end! Bonus lameness: It was emailed with the message "Please find the attached viral." Geez, that's totally blowing the big secret, guys. Full NSFW video, which you must forward to all your contacts, after the jump. More »

At Last, Baked Beans Will Give You Access To Strippers
Thanksgiving is almost here, which means it's time for us to think about helping those less fortunate than ourselves, and to plan our next trip to Scores. And now, thanks to the storied club's "Cans for Cans" program, we can ease our conscience and look at boobies at the same time. Between now and November 21, just show up at Scores (either location!) with a can of beans or a box of cereal or Saltines or whatever (plus the printout thing from their site!) and you get in for free.

Stripper Gets Dogs Back!
The Daily News continues to own the "human interest stories involving Scores strippers" beat (no wonder they're back on top—except for that little matter of how they're carrying so much bulk circ, but whatever!) with today's story of a dancer reunited with her two adorable dogs. More »
