St Louis Adult Entertainment: Business owner watches as pay phones fade away

Posted in St Louis adult entertainment at 9:48 am by adultstlouis

When a Joltran technician began disconnecting the phone, a familiar scenario ensued.
“A young lady came out and begged him not to take the phone out. She lived right across the street and said she had a sick child and this was her only communication with a doctor,” Nesselhauf said. “All of our techs can tell you heartbreaking stories like that, where people come out of their houses saying, ‘Please don’t take my phone away!’ “
Nesselhauf wrote to the ward’s alderman, Matt Villa, seeking a reprieve for the phone.
Villa, who was an alderman from 1997 to this year, recalled the incident.
“I was sympathetic to Jim and to that woman,” he said. “But it was obvious to people in the area that the phone was being used to sell drugs and for prostitution.

Another long-running character is author John Sandford’s Lucas Davenport. In “Buried Prey” (Putnam), two corpses turn up when a house is torn down. Davenport must fight a turf war with other police officials as he tracks down the killer.
Michael Connelly may be the best thriller writer we have. He shows why in “The Fifth Witness” (Little, Brown). It’s a dandy courtroom drama starring Connelly’s ethically challenged Lincoln lawyer, Mickey Haller.
David Anthony teaches English at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale and has written a black-comedy thriller, “Something for Nothing” (Algonquin). In this tale, an unlikable hero is forced to smuggle drugs — and to deal with a surprise of a villain.
Similarly, Scott Phillips gives the starring role to a cad in “The Adjustment” (Counterpoint, 217 pages, $25). In postwar Wichita, Kan., his cad pimps for a corporate bigwig — but finds his own wife in peril because of his wartime misdeeds.

St Louis Strip Clubs: Eleven in ‘11: Top local political stories of the year

Posted in St Louis strip clubs at 3:48 pm by strippertease

Kinder’s unkind year. Look no further than Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder for the top Missouri political story of 2011. The Republican’s presumptive nominee for governor had the wind at his back to start the year: a strong Republican showing in the 2010 midterm election foretold good things for his chances against Gov. Jay Nixon. But first came the revelations that Kinder, who once ran on the slogan “Every Dollar Counts,” charged taxpayers for hundreds of nights at St. Louis area hotels while he attended Tea Party rallies, a wedding and sporting events. After Kinder repaid the state $54,000 for his travel costs, he was forced to answer questions about his previous affinity for visiting a Sauget strip club. Kinder pulled the plug on his aspirations for governor days before a planned announcement in his hometown of Cape Girardau last month. During one round of damage control, Kinder used a line from a Dean Martin song to explain his “romantic attraction” to a dancer that he favored. He likely won’t be using another Rat Pack classic to describe his 2011 — for Kinder, it wasn’t a very good year.

St Louis Strip Clubs: WHAT OTHERS SAY: Gifts Missouri politicans should return

Posted in St Louis strip clubs at 3:00 am by strippertease

Peter Kinder: Missouri’s Republican lieutenant governor was the gift that kept on giving this year. He left his keys in the his car and two hoodlums stole it, set it on fire and rammed it into an ammo shop.
He was caught having spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on fancy hotel rooms in St. Louis when he really wasn’t on state business. That was a wound to his political fortunes, but not as grievous a wound as his admission that as a state senator he frequented East St. Louis strip clubs, and that he just happened to have been photographed with his favorite former dancer while having a glass of wine one afternoon at a South St. Louis “pantsless” bar he blundered into while looking for a bathroom.

Posted in St Louis strip clubs at 5:24 pm by strippertease

_ A tornado slammed into the St. Louis International Airport on April 22, but no one was killed or seriously hurt.
_ Police searched for Kansas City toddler Lisa Irwin, who went missing in early October. Her parents claimed someone snatched the baby in the middle of the night.
_ Gov. Nixon cited the Joplin tornado and flooding as part of the reason for more state budget cuts. State Auditor Tom Schweich later sued Nixon, alleging he had no constitutional basis to make the cuts.
Other stories gaining attention from editors in Missouri included moves by lawmakers to rewrite a new law imposing requirements on dog breeders, the repeal of a law restricting teachers from using Internet sites that allow exclusive access to students, and Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder’s exit from the governor’s race after he acknowledged that he had once been a regular patron at a strip club.

St Louis Strip Clubs: Bradley Cook: Kirkwood Man Pleads Guilty to Trafficking Sex Slave

Posted in St Louis strip clubs at 10:12 pm by strippertease

Under the terms of today’s plea agreement, the charge surrounding the murder-for-hire of the sex victim was dismissed. The allegation that he wanted the prosecutor dead could be brought up in the sentencing phase, resulting in additional prison time. Prosecutors also agreed to dismiss a related indictment against Cook for being a drug user in possession of a firearm. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a pre-sentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
Cook is the third defendant in this human trafficking case to plead guilty.
Co-defendant Dennis Henry, 51, of Wheatland, formerly the postmaster of Nevada, Mo., pleaded guilty to his role in the conspiracy to commit sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion. Henry also pleaded guilty to transporting the victim across state lines for sexual activity.
Henry admitted that he engaged in sex with the victim, and participated in torture sessions with FV that would last for hours. Henry saw pictures of FV’s vagina sewn shut, which he was told was a form of punishment. Henry also admitted that he visited FV at a Lebanon strip club where she was forced to work.
