January 27th, 2012 | London strip clubs | No comments

The May Fair Hotel in London is opening The Cigar Room this Spring, tapping into a growing UK trend for cigar bars and terraces.
Working in collaboration with Cuban cigar importer Hunters & Frankau, the May Fair will offer guests an extensive range of cigars, including Habanos and a number of products exclusive to the hotel.
A cigar concierge service will be on hand to encourage smokers to try different brands and new releases, talking through the specific styles on offer.
Having identified a growing female market for cigars, the May Fair is aiming to deliver a more “feminine experience” through its design, which will include hanging baskets and chain mail covered walls, with a fireplace in action during the winter months.

London Strip Clubs: London council wants to strip pub of amateur exposing

January 26th, 2012 | London strip clubs | No comments

For nearly three decades The White Swan pub in East London has been allowing men to whip out their cockney charms in an amateur strip night. However council officials have threatened to make pub-goers keep their clothes on.

“We’ve survived a lot over the years.” The White Swan’s co-owner, Barry Kirk, is reported as telling BBC London. “But Wednesday is our only busy weeknight. If they kill off our Wednesday nights, we’ll be threatened with [entire] closure.”
In a rare move the Tory party have backed the gay bar, “I, like most reasonably minded people, have concerns about scantily clad women being exploited.” Said Conservative group leader at Tower Hamlets, Peter Golds adding, “But consenting adults looking for a laugh, a joke and comedy is not exploitation.” He told BBC London.

But more than 600 of the pub’s regulars and local residents have signed a petition saying the White Swan, in Commercial Road, should be excluded from the consultation as “there is no prostitution or exploitation on the premises”.

Ms Khan and Tower Hamlets’ independent mayor Lutfur Rahman have been approached by BBC London but are yet to comment.

Daryl Stafford, 49, from Shadwell, in east London, who organised the petition, said: “The legislation was originally set up to stop women being exploited and coerced into the sex trade.

Mr Rahman was unavailable to comment on this, but at 2011’s East London Gay Pride said: “I want you to be in no doubt, I will fight to ensure there is respect for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender culture and rights in the same way I will for all communities.”

“There aren’t many gay bars in east London.

London Adult Entertainment: Some day my pay will come

January 26th, 2012 | London adult entertainment | No comments

It transpires M&S ready-made meals can be purchased using my voucher. That’s three dinners taken care of. Thank you, Eileen.
3 VISIT THE BANK 
This is not a glorious moment in my life. I wonder if, when I leave, the cashiers will giggle among themselves about the latter-day Caligula who, just a fortnight ago, splashed out on an unscheduled skiing trip, and is reduced to withdrawing €7.14 so he can buy a sandwich. Yes, quite possibly they might.
4 SELL STUFF 
Many of the suggestions I’m getting on Twitter are going into a pile marked “It hasn’t quite come to that yet, thanks”. These include: donating blood (“You get crisps, biscuits and sambos,” advises Rebecca Mills); donating sperm; volunteering for paid medical tests (“My brother did them in Belfast,” confides one user); and, perhaps inevitably, prostitution.

London Adult Entertainment: Jaime Winstone and Russell Tovey: the start of something beautiful

January 26th, 2012 | London adult entertainment | No comments

Like all coincidences, it feels both bizarre and perfectly obvious that Russell Tovey and Jaime Winstone have known each other for years. The two actors spent their adolescence in Essex, though they were hardly neighbours: Tovey grew up in Billericay, and Winstone moved from London to Roydon in her early teens. But he happened to go to the same drama club as Winstone’s older sister, Lois. “She’s been in my parents’ house, in the garden,” he says, nodding over his teriyaki lunch at Jaime, a dishevelled figure sitting beside him. “She was so cool. I remember I saw you once in a club, you had a pair of snowboots on, and I thought: ‘She knows what she’s doing.’”

Tovey’s sideline is writing; he’d like to get a play produced, but can never be bothered to write the new drafts that theatres invariably demand. What are his plays about? He falters. “Um, I’m obsessed with the dark side of Soho: the dealers and the prostitutes and the rent boys. And I’ve g …
