Seattle strip club offers Courtney Stodden $5,000 to dance Tweet Share   Courtney Stodden on the TV show “Life Changers.” (Video image) When child bride Courtney Stodden is finally all grown up next summer, Seattle’s Pandora’s Adult Cabaret has a birthday offer for her. Owner Joe Walker wants to pay her $5,000 to come to his club and dance. Stodden, originally of Ocean Shores, made headlines earlier this year for marrying actor Doug Hutchison, 51, when she was just 16 years old. She kept the headlines coming by dressing provocatively, giving strange interviews and lobbying for a reality TV show. Now Walker wouldn’t mind bringing a little of that attention to his strip club, recently opened in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. He told me on the phone Monday that his offer is simple: Stodden gets $5,000 if she comes to the club on her 18th birthday (Aug. 29, 2012) and performs two five-minute stripteases — one at 7 p.m. and one at 11 p.m. “She’s a w …

Seattle Strip Clubs: Notorious Seattle strip club to reopen

Posted on November 18th, 2011 in Seattle strip clubs by stripclubbouncer

SEATTLE (AP) — Nearly five months after Uncle Sam sold it, one of Seattle’s most notorious strip clubs is reopening its doors.
Rick’s Nightclub, a legacy of the organized-crime organization under Frank Colacurcio Sr., will reopen its doors Friday under the name Dreamgirls at Rick’s.
Club manager Andy Wallock says he’s looking forward to providing adult entertainment at such a “historic” site.
The strip club on Lake City Way was sold in June for $2.35 million at a federal auction. It was seized as part of a wide ranging racketeering investigation of the now-deceased Colacurcio.

Seattle Strip Clubs: Women Weren’t Young and Sexy Enough to Be Baristas

Posted on November 5th, 2011 in Seattle strip clubs by stripclubbouncer

There’s many other possible explanations for the Hunnies’ lagging sales, such as the recession or widespread unemployment or better coffee at competitors or Honnies’ lack of business skills. Or its creepy, stupid name: Hot Java Hunnies. Like, okay, I get it: Honnies=Hunnies. But it still sounds like he’s trying to reach out to the “character trapped in a terrible 1980s-era gratuitous boob-flash flick” demographic. Let’s try to apply Hot Java HUNNIES to some hypothetical scenarios:
“Hey Frank, round up the boys and let’s go down to Hot Java Hunnies for our weekly Stereotypical Business-Bro lunch. I hear they’ve begun serving steaks and are offering a half-off lapdance special.” “Oh hai boss, I’m working on the marketing plan right now. Wanna stop by Hot Java Hunnies so we can discuss?” “Hey Sarah, I really like and respect you, and wanted to know if you’d meet me at Hot Java Hunnies for a coffee. And some respect. By me. For you.” “I’m meeting my professor at Hot Java Hunnies to discuss my dissertation on the genocide in Rwanda.”
The name sounds most at home in the first hypothetical. It sounds like a topless bar name.

Seattle Strip Clubs: PubliCola Candidate Ratings: Seattle City Council Position 1

Posted on October 26th, 2011 in Seattle strip clubs by stripclubbouncer

To-Do List & ability to get it done: So-so Traditionally, the SPU committee has gone to the newest member of the council, both because most council members consider water and sewer issues “boring” and because it’s one of the council’s lowest-profile committees. (The “sexy” committees? Land use and transportation.) So the fact that Godden, a two-term council veteran, is in line to head up SPU is a pretty clear indication of her status on the council; after two terms heading up the important budget committee, she’s queued up for a rookie assignment. That’s not the sign of an energetic council member with an ambitious agenda to accomplish. (As for Godden’s stated priorities, she wants to beautify the waterfront and make Seattle Center a great place in time for its 50th anniversary—again, hardly the most pressing issues during the ongoing economic downturn).
Bonus points
Godden is passionate about  women’s issues, favoring Tim Burgess’ controversial aggressive panhandling law out of concern for women’s safety, adding language to a resolution supporting Occupy Wall Street to note that the recession has disproportionately impacted women, and opposing restrictions on strip clubs on the grounds that the government shouldn’t tell women “what kind of work they can do.”

Seattle Strip Clubs: West High alum want to name performing arts center after ‘the music man’

Posted on October 24th, 2011 in Seattle strip clubs by stripclubbouncer

… He meant a lot to us and the city of Bremerton,” said Edmond Stewart, a West High alum. “The performing arts center was not named and we’d like to put a plaque there so people will know who he is.”
Bissell’s career at West High School in Bremerton spanned from 1956 to 1970. The city’s two high schools — East and West — merged to become Bremerton High School in 1978.
He eventually went on to direct the University of Washington’s band and is credited with helping to create “the wave” — where fans stand up and sit down in a wavelike roll along the stands. In one show he had the entire band take off their old uniforms to the song “The Stripper” after successfully raising money for new uniforms. He was at the UW for 24 years until his retirement in 1994. He died in 2001.
