:Info & News On San Jose Escorts.

In the Pacific Northwest, where all coffee entrepreneurial hustles, including this one, seem to start, the Trib says there have been reports of servers flashing customers for bigger tips and customers doing the same for better thrills. Not in Fremont, the owner and servers insist. “They don’t make you feel like a stripper,” says another bikinista, Rosanne Ortiz.
Which, even if they did, might not be such a terrible thing, according to a new study from the University of Leeds, right across the channel from Ms. Bruni.
Most British lap dancers surveyed said they chose to work in that, uh, position, because they earn more. They are “motivated by career and economic choices, not coercion,” the report says. One in four has a college degree.
…
We might consider that a “student/stripper” category on the resume. And just when it seemed the whole Madonna/Whore cultural thing had been beaten into hackneyed obscurity by more realistically complex formulations about women.

Or maybe she needs to show she can act like someone who isn’t Jennifer Aniston.
Time to get crazy
As perhaps the most famous single woman in the United States, she seems drawn to scripts that aren’t a big stretch. Lots of actors play, essentially, the same person movie after movie and remain successful. But unlike Aniston, their movies survive in theaters longer than the Titanic lasted after hitting the iceberg.
She obviously has to step outside her comfort zone. Maybe she should learn karate and call Quentin Tarantino. This is no joke. Or learn how to shoot and swear and call Robert Rodriguez.
She needs to dissociate herself with romance of any kind. Is it too late to play a serial killer? A stripper? An evil middle-aged executive woman? How about a serial-killing evil high-powered executive woman who strips on weekends?

Martinez drives to the shop from his Castro Valley home every weekday before 5:30 a.m. to brew the first cup of coffee before retreating to his nearby truck where he spends most of the day with an eye on the shop.
He’s hoping to open three more bikini barista establishments in the next two years and, although his first shop is just breaking even, he thinks each of them can eventually net $10,000 to $15,000 a month.
“It’s going to literally go through the roof,” he said.
The shops have encountered some issues in the Northwest. There have been news reports of baristas flashing customers for bigger tips and customers exposing themselves to baristas.
Martinez and the baristas said none of that has happened at the Fremont shop, which has cameras on the baristas and the drivers.
“They say ‘Hi,’ they get their coffee, and they’re gone,” barista Rosanna Ortiz said. “They don’t make you feel like a stripper.”

On the other hand, Judy Nadler, a government ethics expert at Santa Clara University’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, found the situation “troubling.” She wondered how the school district would be able to police the family’s compliance.
“If you live with someone, trust me, the decisions that you’re making and the discussions you’re having become part of your everyday life,” said the former Santa Clara mayor. “It’s not as if you turn off your trustee role when you go home.”
Team San Jose supports Pink Poodle “… sort of
“Have you ever been to a strip club that let you hose down a fully nude nubile in a shower tub only inches in front of you?”
Nope? Neither has IA, but that didn’t stop the folks at Team San Jose, the beleaguered nonprofit that runs the city’s convention center and several downtown theaters, from listing a visit to “the lovely ladies of the Pink Poodle gentleman’s club” as a top recommendation on the group’s website, www.sanjose.org.

8. One more thing on friends
Your friends are hopefully considerate, upstanding, sharp-as-a-tack Facebook citizens. They wouldn’t tag embarrassing photos of you without your permission — so that someone clicking through your profile could pull up images of that wild night with the lampshade on your head and your tie … well, never mind.
So it follows that they, hopefully, won’t check you in to a strip club when you both should be at church, just to be funny. And if they do, maybe it’s time to take out those pruning shears.

Bloomberg | New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is slated to speak on campus in March 2011 for the invite-only Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research summit. The date is March 11 and Bloomberg is the keynote speaker, said SIEPR’S John Shoven in an e-mail last week. Nobel winner Muhammad Yunus and Bank of England Governor Mervyn King are also on the event’s agenda.
Mayer | Did singer John Mayer compare The Huffington Post to Cristina Warthen J.D. ‘01, the Stanford Law graduate who allegedly ran a call service and was convicted of tax evasion last year? Maybe. In a blog entry criticizing The Post for a story about Mayer dating rumors, Mayer wrote: “You’re a stripper wearing reading glasses. Or maybe you’re an insolvent law student willing to dance for a few extra dollars.” (h/t CJR, which discusses Mayer’s point: “The reason I’m calling you out instead of all the other magazines that make stories up out of thin air is that In Touch and Star Magazine aren’t concurrently writing pieces about Pat Tillman or WikiLeaks.”)

The storyline is a simple one, friendless Simon played by James Card is trying to arrange his own birthday party with the aid of his sister Ruth (Roisin Rae) and her partner Ben (Brooks Livermore). The narrative is unremarkable but what makes this production unique is the vast range of supporting characters played by the trio. I lost count at character number 18. The direction is impressive with each character distinct and well-developed even the smaller roles are carefully written and performed.
We meet a couple of relationship gurus who work their way into the audience, battling for the affections of the front row to make each other jealous. A bodybuilder is a particularly impressive comedy creation; Livermore plays this hapless wannabe stud with a delicate touch and makes the unlikable endearing. We’ve also got tramps, pizza delivery men, power -lunching salesmen, Australian barmen, dating agency staff, strippers and bosses with a fetish for nostrils. It is a whirlwind of personas all played brilliantly by the tiny cast.
