8 p.m., Cactus Cantina, Glover Park
LNSer: I didn’t want to be the first one there, so I took a long time picking out my shoes—the boats or the floppers? I went with the boats and was a half-hour late. Of course Hipster was even later. Probably couldn’t decide on an ironic T-shirt.
Hipster: I went with [...]
Until last fall, condom-buyers at many CVS locations were required to ask a grumbling attendant to leave the counter, trudge to the back aisle, and take out a selection from a locked case. Public health students at George Washington University didn't think anyone should endure that, especially since D.C. has the highest AIDS rates in [...]
So browsing D.C. Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey's phone records, I see she called Washington City Paper's main number no fewer than 31 times for a total of 162 minutes.
UPDATE, 4:10 P.M.: I'm not the only one on to this scoop! A CP employee working the reception desk received a call from a Channel 7 employee [...]
After tolerating the Euro scene at Russia House Friday night, we wandered across the street to the Royal Palace, a strip club at Connecticut and Florida Avenues NW. My first experience at a D.C. nudie bar had been so pleasant, I thought I'd continue my tour.
Sorry to say, I was a bit disappointed. The girls [...]
Joe Eaton recorded a remarkable account of the motives behind street harassment. One question I wish he had explored, though, is how to dismiss a harasser. Some women play along, some get angry, and some pay no attention, but what works best?
The most impressive dismissals I've seen were back in college. The storefronts across from [...]
From a Saturday post to the newhilleast discussion group:
Subject: [newhilleast] encounter with the driving onanist
This morning, my girlfriend was out for a run on East Capitol Street when a man in a white sedan—not an SUV, but a sedan—pulled over and asked her for directions. Yes, you guessed it—he was masturbating. African American, looking more [...]
I've been to more than my share of strip clubs. I know everyone rolls their eyes when I hark back to Portland, but my hometown is just packed with titty bars, and they're so much a part of the local scene that, well, it's common to pop into Union Jacks, or Mary's or Magic Garden [...]
Here's a little something Ivy City residents who might have concerns about adult-themed clubs coming to their neighborhood should know: You already have one.
Club proprietor Bob Siegel isn't waiting to rebuild his adult-themed empire after his eviction from the stadium site. In order for Siegel to serve drinks and have live entertainment, he needs the [...]
Call them adult entertainment. Call them nude dancing clubs. Just, whatever you do, don't call them strip clubs.
"I am not a strip club," declared Nexus Gold Club owner Ron Hunt in an impassioned speech before Ward 5 residents at Bethesda Baptist Church last night. Hunt prefers the term "gentlemen's club" to describe Nexus, a [...]
According to a press release received by City Desk this morning, the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of Washington D.C. is now open. About goddamn time!
Perhaps you might remember the clinic, and its proprietor, Dr. Christopher A. Warner, from a piece in the Post Health section a couple of months back. Perhaps not.
The LVRI's signature service, [...]
"That must come with a ball tickler." That's what my older brother used to quip when confronted with an inordinately expensive commodity. In the case of Deborah Jeane Palfrey's $300-an-hour escorts, the answer to that question seems likely to have been, yes, if that's what turned you on. On Thursday, a judge ruled the "D.C. [...]
I recently talked my way into the foyer of a private gay social club (they describe themselves as J/O enthusiasts) near Dupont Circle. Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil the fun by disclosing the location—I'm here to talk about interior design.
The place is pretty skanky on the outside; police say a man was recently [...]
