Stripping The Illusion: Objectification Culture Or Censoring Art?
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2012/04/objectification-culture-or-censoring.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. Objectification Culture Or Censoring Art? I hadn't planned to blog again today, but an article I read in the Telegraph frightened me to such an extent that I want to bring it to your attention today. The Scream gallery in Mayfair had an exhibition of the work of Derrick Santini, which included a modern day reinterpretation of the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan The artwork had been exhibited for a month with no complaints from the public. Of a lost work by Michelangelo. So we can ...

Stripping The Illusion: And The Crowds Were Bitterly Disappointed
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2015/05/and-crowds-were-bitterly-disappointed.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. And The Crowds Were Bitterly Disappointed. The Great Smell Of Brute. May 10, 2015 at 2:55 PM. Y]ou have to credit Object with some guts after the failure last year in terms of turn out for the Paul Raymond awards they have started early this year and have already created a facebook event for people to say they are going and then not turn up because they struggle deciding if they should be shouting rapist or loser. The decision whether to shout, Rapist! May 11, 2015 at 3:00 PM. The G...

Stripping The Illusion: Repeat, Repeat and Repeat Again
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2015/04/repeat-repeat-and-repeat-again.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Repeat, Repeat and Repeat Again. No SEV because of the area apparently. We know that Leeds forced the issue hiding behind the Tour de France starting in the Headrow with two clubs right by the start. So to the rest of Leeds there was this facade that the campaign was all about image rather than morals which we know councils shouldn't raise in these debates. So we see yet again the stupidity about location. Is there a school near by? The Great Smell Of Brute. Carry On Stripping ...

Stripping The Illusion: Carry On Stripping in Ampthill
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2012/08/carry-on-stripping-in-ampthill.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Carry On Stripping in Ampthill. They never made such a film, but we can still have fun speculating about the script. It seems the protest against the lap dancing club is running in the same vein as the tattoo parlour and locals are not at all happy. Scrabbler seems to think that the S.E means that people will be having sex in the club, which as we know won't happen, apart from in the mind of Scrabbler. Is brought down by stripper wielding a crowbar. Sorry? The issue here is that ...

Stripping The Illusion: May 2015
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. So Roz has been CEO of Object Now for a year tomorrow (thanks Brute for pointing this out and the some of the "fails" that are a part of this piece). The first part of this is a bit of fun at the expense of Object and I will finish with something that has been playing on my mind. So lets now consider what Roz and co has campaigned on this year that interests this blog and consider how successful on each they were. No More Page 3. The fight against Entice. Fun in the Changing Rooms?

Stripping The Illusion: Clubs in Profile - The Nags Head
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2012/06/clubs-in-profile-nags-head.html
Monday, June 25, 2012. Clubs in Profile - The Nags Head. Many venues try and do art, only the Nags Head succeeds. Its current format seems to resemble two georgian houses knocked together as you can see in the picture below. . Recently the venue has benefited from a total refurbishment and the photograph I took below gives you an idea, but does not really do the work any justice. Owner Manu clearly has doubts about my compositional abilities. The Nags Head gentlemens venue. The Nags Head Whitechapel.

Stripping The Illusion: July 2015
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Get Out Your Scissors. Back in October 2013 ( here. But you see from the arguments there is nothing new against the clubs. Fact there are already two is the given reason and that is the limit that was set but lack of support is a killer of clubs. Ballet dancers have to monitor their weight, sportswomen have to watch what their eat, drink and social activities. No one suggests that this is bad it only happens when people see the word sex and the dirty image it creates. Sorry people...

Sunday, July 19, 2015. Chester and the Rise of the Prickademics. There are a couple of things that have come up that I want to talk about. It has been a quiet time and all of a sudden you get hit by stupidity right in the face and you go just what the f* *. The local online paper ( here. Nice to see that personal attacks are a thing of the past. The Great Smell Of Brute. July 19, 2015 at 11:09 AM. July 19, 2015 at 11:53 AM. The Great Smell Of Brute. July 20, 2015 at 7:07 PM.

Stripping The Illusion: Leeds: The Final Act (for now)!
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2015/04/leeds-final-act-for-now.html
Sunday, April 26, 2015. Leeds: The Final Act (for now)! This could turn into a massive rant so I will try to keep the piece as short as possible whilst covering the issues. I will include a couple of responses to FoI requests from Leeds Council, I wont timeline the events rather I will try to use the issues as I see them to guide me in the way I word this. Leeds Council what responsibility do they take? Leeds Night Life losing something? After all the research the council still drive their own agenda.

Stripping The Illusion: Dancers Speak Out - Full Report
http://strippingtheillusion.blogspot.com/2012/04/dancers-speak-out-full-report.html
Friday, April 20, 2012. Dancers Speak Out - Full Report. Dancers Speak Out was a public meeting held in Tower Hamlets on 18th April and marked what in my view may a tipping point in the battle that clubs and dancers have been fighting against prohibitionists and their supporters within local councils throughout the United Kingdom. The first speaker was John McDonnel. Next up was ex dancer and Equity member, Edie. Speaking about a job which she found stressful and abusive that gave her terrible anxiety &#...
