New Orleans Adult Entertainment: Kenner murder victim remembered as fashionable mother
September 15, 2011
Anita McDonald, fashionable mother to a toddler, was killed last month by a man she met on the Internet. Now her family wants to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen to other women.
“This was a tragedy, but we’re going to turn this into a positive for other girls,” said Lakish McDonald-Ross, older sister of the prostitute who was strangled Aug. 22 in a Kenner motel room.
Days after she buried her sister, McDonald-Ross, who lives in Stockton, Calif., said her family hopes to start a foundation, Anita’s Way, to help girls and

New Orleans Adult Entertainment: Kenner murder victim remembered as fashionable mother

… This was a tragedy, but we’re going to turn this into a positive for other girls,” said Lakish McDonald-Ross, older sister of the prostitute who was strangled Aug. 22 in a Kenner motel room.
Days after she buried her sister, McDonald-Ross, who lives in Stockton, Calif., said her family hopes to start a foundation, Anita’s Way, to help girls and women advertising themselves online as prostitutes. “The Internet is for a lot of things, but prostitution it should not be used for,” McDonald-Ross said.
…
Shortly after she left her California home, however, she began working as a prostitute. Kenner police said she was arrested last year in Reno, Nev., for prostitution.
…
Law enforcement authorities were already onto Laurent when McDonald was killed. He also is suspected strangling 21-year-old prostitute Jateese Hudgins of Philadelphia at a Metairie motel Aug. 10 and choking a 22-year-old prostitute from Cleveland unconscious at a Harvey motel eight days later.

New Orleans Adult Entertainment: From the editor: Just sell it
September 11, 2011
If the city’s marketing efforts were accurate and not so disingenuous, I’d be the first one cheering them on. But Las Vegas, alas, is master of the tease, the wink, the faux — the city’s only goal is to aggressively separate visitors from their money in appealing, candy-coated ways. Las Vegas is nothing short of a Disney theme park of adult vices and it (thankfully) pales in comparison to genuinely debauched cities. Have you not been on the streets of Hollywood, Montreal, Amsterdam, Atlanta, Mexico City, London, Barcelona and, yes, New Orleans after midnight? Las Vegas, by those other places’ standards of adult entertainment, seems exactly like Denver with more lights. But we can’t sell the community-first values of Denver, can we? So, there you have it. The pitch is then: Leave the kids at home and come make your own sequel to The Hangover.

New Orleans Adult Entertainment: French Quarter prostitution sweeps net 67 arrests
September 11, 2011
Followup investigations of alleged prostitutes and their pimps looked for related crimes as well, they said.
Col. Mike Edmonson, superintendent of the State Police, said French Quarter merchants told his officers they wanted prostitutes cleared off the streets because they chased off customers.
And David Welker, special agent in charge of the New Orleans FBI, said his agency searched for underage girls being trafficked in the interstate sex trade, a federal offense.
However, the sweep netted no minors, police said.
District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said on the first night of the sweep officers found that only 2 of 13 women they arrested had local addresses.
“It’s almost as though there’s a circuit of prostitutes they roll through the country, and New Orleans happens to be a stop.”
…
Cannizzaro said the 67 arrests involved women, pimps and customers. He said 90 percent of suspects with court dates so far have pleaded guilty.

New Orleans Adult Entertainment: Cash Money Content announces new author, new titles for 2012
September 11, 2011
On Tuesday, Cash Money Content announced the addition of a new writer to its fall catalog: Treasure E. Blue, a former New York City fire inspector who (like a rapper with a self-released mixtape) came to the attention of the publisher via self-published e-books. In fall 2011 and winter 2012, CMC will publish the final two installments of Mr. Blue’s “Harlem Girl Lost” trilogy.
Next week, CMC’s edition of Iceberg Slim’s “Trick Baby” will be available for purchase. Upcoming 2012 titles include several more from the Slim catalog, as well as “An XXXXXL Life: Staying Big At Half The Size,” a memoir of his massive weight loss by Los Angeles radio personality Big Boy.
In this video from early 2011, Bryan Williams introduces the imprint’s first titles. It is not your standard reading-group talk; few other Simon & Schuster authors are described as having a “pimp game that’s incredible.”

New Orleans Escorts: SEX, DRUGS AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG
September 11, 2011
He was also addicted to laxatives, regularly smoked marijuana and was mixed up with gangsters. His mother worked in a new Orleans brothel and he spent his whole life believing he was a year older than he actually was.
…
When he was 11 he was found guilty of firing a gun and sent to the Colored Waifs Home For Boys where he spent the next 18 months. It could well have been the making of him. He learned to play the cornet there and a year after leaving the home he took responsibility for his cousins illegitimate son who would later turn out to have learning difficulties. He was just 14 years old. Two years later Louis was playing the blues and jazz on his cornet in the bars and brothels of Storyville. Then in 1918 he married a prostitute, Daisy, the first of his four wives. …
New Orleans Escorts: Judge Gives Green Light To Challenge On ‘Crime Against Nature’ Laws
September 8, 2011
Louisiana is one of only a few states, if not the only one, that makes the solicitation of different sexual acts separate crimes. While offering to trade oral or anal sex for money has long been a felony offense, soliciting vaginal sex is classified legally as prostitution, a misdemeanor. And Louisiana is the only state that requires people who sell their bodies to register as sex offenders.
…
“Transgender residents reported that officers are likelier, because of their gender identity, to charge them under the state’s ‘crimes against nature’ statute — a statute whose history reflects anti-LGBT sentiment,” the report noted. “For the already vulnerable transgender community, inclusion on the sex offender registry further stigmatizes and marginalizes them, complicating efforts to secure jobs, housing and obtain services at places like publicly-run emergency shelters.” “We are pleased that the court has vindicated our clients and allowed this challenge to go forward,” said Alexis Agathocleous, an attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights. “Our clients have been labeled as sex offenders simp …
… It is a fools hope to believe that prostitution and the practice of prostitution is in fact not a dangerous crime,” said Superintendent Ronal Serpas. “It is. Prostitutes are often held in slavery through alcohol and narcotics. Johns and pimps often times are beat, stabbed and shot associated with this business.”
