Flesh and the College by: Deborah Lambert, April 22, 2008 The “Sex Workers Art Show” traveled to several campuses earlier this year, causing raised eyebrows at some venues and–an uproar at others like the College of William and Mary and Duke University. Although the show’s founder claims that the purpose of their performance is to dignify and “humanize sex workers” and “dispel the myth that [strippers and prostitutes] are anything short of artists, innovators, and geniuses,” the descriptions of the show “make it sound prurient, degrading and, above all, dehumanizing,” says the Education Reporter. Debate over the show at William...

DURHAM -- Results from the second round of DNA tests in connection with the Duke lacrosse rape investigation will not likely be available before May 15, District Attorney Mike Nifong said Saturday. Nifong also denied an allegation by some defense attorneys that the second exotic dancer at the March 13 party where the rape allegedly occurred received special treatment from Nifong's office so she'd cooperate with the prosecutor.

The young black women can almost finish each other's stories. They go to a party, a concert, a nightclub. Twenty-somethings of all colors are flirting and dancing. And then it happens. Inevitably, a woman says, a white man asks her to dance erotically while he watches. Or he grabs her rear end. Or asks for sex, in graphic detail, without bothering to ask her name.

My friends from California and New York and Boston all tell the same stories," said 22-year-old Danielle Terrazas Williams, a graduate student at Duke University. "They're watching...

Rather than give Immigration Minister Judy Sgro a hard time about whether or not she greased the pole, as it were, to fast-track the process to allow a Romanian stripper to stay in Canada, we need to be taking a look at the bigger issue: Why is Canada unable to meet the demand for exotic dancers on its own? What is lacking in our national character that we cannot turn out enough people who can figure out how to take off their clothes? Are we so lacking in skills that we do not know how to pull down a zipper,...

Strippers and pole dancers should be banned from performing in stretch limousines, according to a British report. Councillors from the mountainous Welsh county of Gwynedd said many limousine hire companies were providing the erotic dancers as entertainment for clients, but in-car striptease was an "inappropriate" activity.

"Some operators are providing entertainment to clients within the vehicle which may involve inappropriate activities such as lap dancing, giving rise to concerns about indecency."

So far, the 1997 Miss Nude World International pageant has been one big tease for Vanessa Steele-Inman.
