Hunter’s Blind is a combination of the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood and an account of the horrors of Gilles de Rais, a French knight and child murderer. Pandora Gastelum and the Mudlark Puppeteers created an impressive collection of puppets and props and the show makes the most of the tiny space at the Mudlark Public Theatre. The story telling effects are brilliant. The story itself is dark beyond belief. The first two acts seem like an edgy Grimm’s tale, set in medieval France, but once the story enters de Rais’ castle, literally all existential hell breaks loose. It runs at the Mudlark (1200 Port St.) 7 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday.
The Women of the House of Tu-Na is a one-woman show by New Yorker Nancy Eng. It’s a collection of monologues by women who work in a New York massage parlor, most of whom are sex workers. T …

I grew up in Jefferson Parish, and I worked there too. Back in the day, “Fat City” in Metairie was the nightlife district in da Parish, a hotbed of clubbing, massage parlors, music clubs and restaurants. It was considered to be the “French Quarter” of Jefferson Parish. After a while though, the area turned nasty, with a lot of strip malls, drugs and some violence.
The Meters even played in Fat City in the 1970’s, here shown at the Showboat Lounge.
There are still quite a few bars there, but the area lost its appeal and luster a long time ago. Councilwoman Cynthia Chen-Lee proposed a clean-up of the area that would include revived shopping, dining and residential developments, more consistent with a sort of typical “Main Street” type of design. The proposal also included an ordinance that would close the bars at 1 a.m. (yes, Jefferson Parish bars also have a 24-hour drinking policy, like New Orleans).

Fat City has always felt pretty much the same about the Jefferson Parish Council.
Battle is joined again with an ordinance proposed by Cynthia Lee-Sheng to zone out the sleaze. Right off the bat it would close down the bars at midnight, 1 a.m. on weekends.It threatens an end to civilization as we know it, according to bar owners. Their customers, presumably, agree.
Lee-Cheng may be genetically disposed to raise the tone of Fat City, for her father, the late sheriff Harry Lee, went on a mission there in 1981, when Vietnamese massage parlors were doing a brisk business. Dogged research by reporters from this newspaper posing as customers established that the services offered by the parlors were not restricted to the relief of aches and pains, and the vice cops soon closed them down.

The Panties Pool You’ve seen those office pools they do for football games, right? It’s a grid of boxes, with 0-9 going down and 0-9 going across. Then people write their names inside the boxes and then one set of numbers is for one team, and one is for the other. So, say, at the end of the first quarter, the score is 10 – 7, the Saints, then you would go to that square, and that person would win. You can do the same. But instead of putting in names in the squares, you put SEX ACTS. So, whoever wins, REALLY wins. And it’s up to you to be as nice or as naughty as you want.
You can have the prizes be anything your little heart desires. From kissing to an erotic massage, he owes you oral sex. From you wearing THAT school girl outfit, to him doing THAT dance he does naked. (Um, whatever you two do…)

Im not going to split hairs here prostitution and trafficking are two different animals, but they both victimize women and involve sexual slavery and abuse so if Im making them sound like they are the same thing; its because basically they are. To give you an example of how much money is generated in an average city, Ive taken the liberty of scrolling through the erotic services section of one of the two big boards online. On an average day, there is $285,600 in potential sales for each of these boards alone. How did I come up with this number? Well; a 1 hour session with an escort ranges from $280-$300. There were 37 young women offering their services; you do the math. Remember this is only one board and does not take into account, street prostitution, common bawdy houses, massage parlors, trick pads, escort agencies, pornographic studios etc. Pimps routinely take $300-$1500 per day from each of their prostitutes. Are you starting to get the picture? Lets dispel one of the big myths surrounding all prostitution right now.

Would legalizing the world’s oldest profession stop “massage parlors“.Wikimedia public domain
On November 13th, Covington, LA police arrested three women for allegedly running a prostitution ring out of a massage parlor on U.S. 190.  This is just the latest in a string of ongoing investigations and recent arrests of prostitutes working in “massage parlors” from Pennsylvania to Arizona.  Professional massage therapists, who are often affected by this negative publicity as prostitutes use legitimate massage as a front for sex services, are expressing their opinions on this seemingly never ending problem. In reviewing the dozens of responses received one thing is evident: The majority of massage therapists who responded agree that legalizing prostitution should be considered as a way to stop illegal businesses from using legitimate massage as a front for sex.
All names below have been changed to protect the privacy of the respondents.
