In times like these, there are few places a man can go to blow off some steam. All right, regardless of the times, men like going to gentleman's club. Going to a gentleman's club is comforting and relaxing for several reasons: 1. Big comfy chairs; 2. Excellent bar service; 3. Good music;
Oh, and if you put cash in front of the girls working, she'll take her clothes off. But the luxury atmosphere might get a makeover:
For an industry often thought to be recession proof, the transition has been sobering. In order to adapt, many so-called gentlemen's clubs are shedding their upscale trappings and catering to a thriftier clientele by offering less expensive drinks, waiving cover charges and refocusing their marketing.
Thriftier clientele? Did they check with the girls on this? I'm not sure buy one get one free lapdances is going to be a hit with the performers...

It's Not Exactly Law & Order SVU...
Bloomberg sheds some light on two professional aspects that are thriving in this jolly good ride we call the United States economy: bankruptcy and fraud.
Lehman. Madoff. Stanford. These are just the sexy ones. Nobody hears about the measly $255 million that WexTrust Capital, LLC allegedly swiped or Sentinel Management Group allegedly using investor money to try and secure a $500 million line of credit while it was losing nearly a $1 billion.
After the poo hits the fan, trustees and receivers get to sell off all the office furniture for cents on the dollar and scramble all over the blue marble trying to find every last dollar that is stashed in a closet in Panama City.
It's nice to know that bean counters, lawyers, etc. are out there looking out for their fellow now broke-as-shit Americans.
The other thing I've noticed is that there's always a cherry on top in these situations. Examples range from the highbrow, like millions spent on priceless artwork, to thousands spent on strippers in a few hours. Really puts the swindled into an even better place.
Someone's entire life savings ended up going to a USC student that went by "Candy" in a few hours in Vegas. Great. Just great.
