Days after a male contestant snuck through the selection process for ITV dating show Take Me Out despite having been a male escort and the broadcaster is in hot water again – for his date having a past as a, yes, female escort. Earlier this week it emerged that despite his questionable background 32-year-old Aaron Withers made it onto the show, hosted by Paddy McGuinness, and selected a girl called Wen to be his date. In a classic twist Wen has now given a tabloid interview telling her tale, as you do, in which she reveals that she too once signed up with an escort agency to offer certain services. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander and all that. Daily Mirror, P5

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:40 +0000

A “BOOTYLICIOUS” porn star has been banned from entering Britain, it was revealed yesterday.
Roxy Reynolds famed for her big bottom and voted one of 2010’s top adult film performers was set to earn a fortune over the festive season, working as a high-class escort to Premier League footballers, actors and senior figures in central London.
But the model and rapper was stopped by UK Border Agency officers when she landed at Heathrow from Philadelphia.
The 27-year-old was using a visitors’ visa that didn’t entitle her to work. But border staff had found her “London Tour” advertised on escort agency websites and Twitter.
One blurb read: “This US XXX star is one of the most prolific and popular ebony ladies in the industry. You will LOVE your time with her.”

London Escorts: Eighteenth-Century Play to Get First North American Performance

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:39 +0000

… The London Merchant,” a tragedy from 1731 that was one of the first British dramas to focus on the middle and working classes – and that has apparently never received a professional production in North America – will be performed Jan. 6-28 at the Theater at the Church of Notre Dame in Morningside Heights in Upper Manhattan. Written by George Lillo, “The London Merchant” is about the downfall of a young apprentice who is led astray by a prostitute. It was highly popular in the 18th century. The Storm Theater Company and Blackfriars Repertory Theater will jointly produce the work, directed by Peter Dobbins, Storm’s artistic director. A spokesman for the production, Pete Sanders, said on Monday that the producers had done research on the history of the play and could not find evidence that it had been performed professionally in the United States or Canada.

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:38 +0000

London, England — (SBWIRE) — 12/26/2011 — Le Lido de Paris is irrefutably one of the most celebrated cabarets on the globe. It is located on one of the most spectacular and refined avenues in the world (none other than the Champs-Élysées), and it is most renowned for its stunning ‘Bluebell Girls’. Take a day trip to Paris and marvel at this particular cabaret – an incredibly legendary and entertaining cabaret that rivals all other cabarets in the world.
…
Originally a seductive dance performed by the prostitutes who worked at the Moulin Rouge, the can-can became a form of entertainment in its own right, and assisted in an increase in cabarets all over Europe. Even in the current age, much of the idiosyncracies of turn-of-the-century France are still evident in the club’s decor.

London Escorts: Murdoch tabloid fostered anything-goes spirit

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:37 +0000

The scene was a public hearing in London on Nov. 29, and McMullan, a former newspaper reporter, was fondly reminiscing about his time, in the mid-’90s and early aughts, working for Rupert Murdoch’s Sunday tabloid, News of the World.
…
On July 7, 2011, London’s robust tabloid culture imploded under the collapsing bulk of Murdoch’s largesse. That day, executives at News Corp. announced they were closing down News of the World, the 168-year-old paper. They were doing so in an attempt to appease a growing public outcry about reporting tactics at Murdoch’s London papers, including allegations of widespread illegal phone hacking and bribing of police.
…
In the days that followed, under political pressure, News Corp. withdrew its $12 billion bid for full control of British Sky Broadcasting. More than a dozen News Corp. reporters and editors in London were arrested. Several top executives resigned.

London Escorts: Great contradictions

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:33 +0000

Dickens is a cardinal representative of the age in which he lived. His writings shape our perception of Victorian London; even his detractor Walter Bagehot conceded that in his evocation of London life he was “like a special correspondent for posterity”. And his characters – from Scrooge and the Artful Dodger to Mr Micawber and Uriah Heep – have become avatars of Englishness.
…
Tomalin suggests that Dickens “left a trail like a meteor”. Those who engage with his legacy encounter many different versions of him: the radical, the republican, the mesmerist, the sentimentalist, the protector of orphans, the lover of circuses, the despairing father. But above all, in her view, “he set nineteenth-century London before our eyes and … noticed and celebrated the small people living on the margins of society”.

London Escorts: New Zealand sex worker rights demands made in London

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:31 +0000

With record numbers of women in London turning to sex work to provide an income the English Collective of Prostitutes (ECP) has launched a new campaign to decriminalise prostitution for “safety’s sake”.
At an event at St Pauls “Tent City” a New Zealand MP Tim Barnett who sponsored the 2003 Prostitution Reform Act which decriminalised prostitution in New Zealand, explained how the change in the law in New Zealand has made it safer for sex workers to work.
New Zealand was the first country in the world to base a law on the demands of sex workers for health and safety concerns. After a five year review from the time the law was enacted, sex workers are safer and have more rights. The Association of Chief Police Officers is suggesting a New Zealand-style decriminalisation in the UK.
There are an estimated 35,000 sex workers in London according to research by The London Daily News.

Viewed through a 21st-century lens, the 1948 London Olympics resembles an Ealing comedy. It also saw deplorable examples of snobbery, sexism, racism and animal cruelty — not to mention child labour and forced labour. The sponsors, horror of horrors, even included a brand of cigarettes.
…
There was no ‘legacy’, let alone a grandiose new sporting theme park like the £9.3 billion complex going up in London’s East End. But that was not the point. ‘There was this tremendous emotional legacy,’ says Janie Hampton. ‘People had come together for the first time since the war and were just thrilled to be competing peacefully.’
It is a point worth remembering as that ten-figure bill for London 2012 prepares to acquire another nought.
London Olympics, 1908 and 1948 (published by Shire) and The Austerity Olympics (Aurum) are both by Janie Hampton.

London Escorts: Cold case files

beautifulcompanion — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:49:24 +0000

Charles Nicholl, our finest literary and historical detective, is drawn to subjects of dark human concern and puzzlement. The Reckoning (1992), his inquiry into the murder of playwright Christopher Marlowe, scrutinised Elizabethan assize records with forensic exactitude; his last book, The Lodger (2007), explored a murky period of Shakespeare’s life in Jacobean London.
…
Another bravura performance, “A Naughty House”, amplifies on Shakespeare’s life in London as Nicholl described it in The Lodger. The French Huguenot family with whom Shakespeare lodged in the Cripplegate area from 1603 to 1605 may have had a sideline in the sex trade. That was not so odd, says Nicholl. London at that time was a “rackety boom town” of cut-throat literary ambitions, prostitutes and other moral dangers, where the theatre was never far from the brothel.
