How pimps use the Web to sell girls
…
It’s true that there’s some risk that pimps will migrate to new Web sites, possibly based overseas, that are less cooperative. But, on balance, that’s a risk worth taking. The present system is failing. Pimps aren’t the shrewdest marketers, and eliminating a hub for trafficking should at least chip away at the problem.
…
On Backpage, the pimps claim adult ages for the girls they market, but Hersh scoffs. “I see 19,” she said, “and I immediately think 13.”
“I’m not seeing a lot of cases where there’s not coercion,” she added. “The average age where a girl is forced into prostitution is 12 to 14. And most of these 16- or 17 year-olds are being run by pretty vicious pimps.”
…
When Baby Face ran away from her pimp and desperately knocked on that apartment door in Brooklyn, she was also in effect pounding on the door of the executive suites of Backpage and Village Voice Media. Those executives should listen to her please.

Club XXXV is shown on Route 35 in Sayreville in a file photo. The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that the availability of adult entertainment in other states can be used as part of an argument for keeping them out of New Jersey towns. (The Star-Ledger/Amanda Brown)
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A New Jersey state law prohibits a sexually oriented business from operating within 1,000 feet of homes, public parks or houses of worship. But it applies only if that adult type of free expression remains available in the local area.
Under an odd new legal ruling, it’s OK for N.J. towns near the Arthur Kill to seek to ban strip clubs because there are XXX-rated alternatives to be found right across the Kill van Kull and Arthur Kill in our borough.

Spotted: Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix on set in New York

The French actress, who’s normally seen on our best-dressed list, is pictured here on the set of her latest film in New York City.
For the project, which is a yet to be named period piece also starring Joaquin Phoenix, Marion plays a Polish immigrant who is forced into prostitution and burlesque.

25 January: Tulisa at the National Television Awards 2012 in London

A celebrity breakup is often accompanied by a big fashion or beauty statement, but we’re not sure dressing like a flamingo is really the best way for Tulisa to ce …

Andrea Prestinario is beautifully understated and real as sweet, bookish Louise, the long-ignored daughter who surprisingly morphs into the happily glamorous Gypsy Rose Lee, and finally finds the steel to stand up to her mother. David Kortemeier captures the essence of Herbie, the meek but self-aware man who loves Mama Rose until she goes one step too far. Matthew Crowle stops the show as Tulsa, the boyish tap dancer. The kids who line up for a patriotic workout in Mama Rose’s endlessly recycled vaudeville act are priceless. And for sheer hilarity there are the three strippers played to vintage perfection by Susan Lubeck, Cheryl Avery and Frances Asher. They sing “You Gotta Have a Gimmick,” but as this electrifying production proves, what you really need is immense talent and absolute truth.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Johnny was stunned when Sonny said that mob boss Gino Soleito, not Anthony, is his real father — and that Claudia wasn’t Johnny’s sister, she was his mother. Johnny pulled a gun on Sonny (who got the paternity information from Luke), but didn’t pull the trigger. Johnny checked with the hospital and saw the proof of his paternity on his original birth certificate. Johnny confronted Anthony. Sam and Jason waited for the results of the paternity test on Sam’s baby. Ewen is concerned about Ethan and Cassandra’s relationship. Sonny is suspicious of Kate’s recent trips, but is unaware that she’s seeing a mystery man. Kate accepted a business offer from Jax, who left for Australia. Robin told Patrick that a doctor in Seattle had given her a third HIV protocol. Michael asked Sam to find out who killed Abby. Dante found Michael, who had a gun, standing over the deceased suspect in the stripper case.

In its own literature, BAM defines its role as a “home for adventurous artists, audiences, and ideas.” Adventurous today, indeed, but in the 1860s this fearlessness was far from BAM’s reality.
In the late 1800s, when BAM was born, the theater world in New York at large was becoming more controversial, with members of different social classes clashing in riots in downtown Manhattan.
According to Lehner, BAM was the “conservative backlash” to those events, and steered away from topical pieces.
This is “just after a time when we’re having prostitution in the balcony of theaters, so there a lot of associations that theaters are low brow,” Lehner said. “For the first year at BAM, the trustees said, ‘We are having no theater whatsoever, this is just going to be for music.’”
