LUXURY LAPPING: Revenge of the Titty Bars? A resurgence of name brand Las Vegas-style strip bars in midtown seems to be signaling a new era of "respectability" for the titty-twirlers and for New York. Not quite as sleazy as their Times Square predecessors, these new clubs are sleeker, bigger and more corporate in their approach, but it beats having no titty bars at all. Does this mean the Big Apple's sphincter is finally loosening again after so many years of Guiliani's attacks? Or is the...

Let's get realistic about the 'career' trajectory here and drop the euphamisms about 'pop career' 'taking off'. She was in her mid-twenties when she traded time with her cooch to a low-end producer for a recording. And let's get underneath the gossip mag's subtext, really. Her interest in Spears is the same as her interest was in Sandra Bernhardt. Let's just hope their hubbies get along the same way.

the ingrediant missing when actup was 'somebody' in the public conciousness, was the lack of organized resistance to actup and the ideas promoted by actup. now we see how organized the conservative minority really is. for they are the ones in power that are outlawing the very conversation we are having and their information IS intentionally faulty. yes safe sex information could be available to everyone and it isn't. yet the concept of mentoring and apprentiship is not strong in america.

Re: Keith Haring's Pop Shop Closing - A Personal Rememberance

Yes Daddy, just what we need - another NYU Dorm. I did "do" Keith once but not at Jackie. It was at the 2nd Pat Field Ball at Roxy (or was it 1018 then?). The category was "Impersonating a Dead Legend". Keith had died just a few months earlier and I was able to borrow his glasses, wallet, and baseball jacket and I had a bag full of shirts and buttons from The Pop Shop. You were the DJ that night - you played "Pop Music" when I hit the runway. I got Grand Prize, of course.
