Brian Williams & Friends will be saddened by the lack of “ladies of easy virtue” in Tampa while they’re there.Actually,I suspect that the shortage of “gentlemen of easy virtue” will be more acutely felt by the Press Corpse.

A political convention (either party - the only difference is the preferred gender of the provider) without prostitutes? Good luck with that. Isn’t it customary for whores to give politicians a trade discount since they are members of what is essentially the same profession?

When she stands on her head, 61 looks like 19.

Strippers aside, Charlotte is a major airline & interstate hub. Getting both into & out of the city is too easy.

The leftie rent-a-mobs will be flown in & bused in. Charlotte is racially, ethnically & politically “diverse”. There is a sizable muzzie population. Things could get ugly.

But there’s one thing I’ve never understood: Republicans are supposedly the class, race & ideological enemy of “the oppressed masses”, are they not?

Then why since 1968 do the worst riots happen outside Democrat conventions instead of Republican ones?

Not so fast there GSC.

I work for a very large co(white collar) and we have business convention 1-2 times per year. Most employees are fairly conservative and you ought to see all the older married guys....the highlight of the convention is to hit the nudie bars. They would not think about cheating on their wives, won't go to the bars but have no problem hitting the strip clubs for some eye candy

What happens at these business meetings stays at those business meetings and the wifies at home have no clue..these are the same guys who go to church every Sunday and teach their kids baseball and soccer.

Loosen up the tighty whities and get off your self righteous soap box.

I think the first time I saw it was HERE at FR.

I think most people took it for what it was. Some people just look to be offended.

Think about it. Here on FR... WHENEVER there is an article about a woman caught doing something sexual, people always post the picture with guilty or not guilty.

Its a running gag here. Has been for years. Just like Hugh and Series.

Think about what was posted. I copied what someone else said "A 61 year old stripper? Talk about desperation!" and then posted the picture and then my comments" Desperation? Yes!!! But for whom? Her or the guys?"

Think about it. A 61 year old stripper.
Desperation.
The picture was an extremist. The picture is of a scantily clad old woman on the beach with obvious bolt ons. The picture reeks of desperation. Its how most men can picture most pumped up former strippers when they hit old age. Still with the softballs and still thinking they're 20 something.

I doubt anybody (except maybe the woman in the pic) find her attractive or titillating. Actually quite the opposite.

And thats the idea behind the thought of a woman at 61 stripping.

The same idea behind a guy trying to strut it with Chippendales.

Hey, at home, if they turns in your spouse, thats great. But it looks a little ridiculous in a club setting.

I live in Tampa and the Tampa police just touched the tip of the iceberg...

Most of the prostitution in Tampa does not not happen in the strip bars...

I know two guys who run brothels in Tampa and St Pete...and they are gearing up for the convention....

To meet them you would never know they are basically pimps....they treat it strictly as a business...

Amen brother;

They always run around locking up the small timers to make a show and right after the Convention the girls will be back on the street. Tampa has become big player in porn recently.

Let me guess, the Democratic convention needs more “workers” and they found an acute shortage in their town?

So they go and raid Tampa?

I don't particularly want to think about it. And as I was reading the thread I don't have much choice but to "look"--

And methinks you doth protest overmuch--if you got it from FR, you must have saved it. It is a distressing and frankly fetishized photograph.

actually, to go back and try finding a certain pic on FR is REAL HARD. Much easier to do a google search of say, old woman bikini.

By the way. I've gotten about a half dozen responses besides yours to the pic.

EVERYBODY ELSE just took it as intended.

You're the only one who protest overmuch.

Now on the other hand I will agree with you on " It is a distressing and frankly fetishized photograph."

Usually, by the time a woman reaches this womans age, they've come to a certain realization about themselves and WHO they are and their body. Everything about this picture and others of this woman, tell me she has a disproportionate view of herself in this world. No one at her age could "dress" like that in public, looking like that, without being completely consumed with their vanity.
