Houston's recent oppression of the sex industry has me thinking about a topic that's cracked me up for a few years: "stripper names" on kid's toys, more specifically My Little Pony.
With names like Sunny Daze, Sweetberry and Pinkie Pie how could anyone not envision a writhing 20-something on the main stage on the local fleshmart? It's not difficult to image some bored DJ intoning, "Gentlemen...on the main stage...Blossom...give it up." Oh you can brush her hair alright, in the Champagne Room with an $80 bottle of low-quality bubbly. And the entertainment is just as plastic as MLP.
At any rate, this vilification of the local sex industry seems ill-conceived at best. If a club has to relocate but can't, then the services - and talent - will go undoubtedly go underground, with call-out stripping and "lingerie shows" being held for private parties and individuals. The city will no longer be able to draw tax revenue from it and the girls can pick up a larger percentage of the take.
I hope and pray that an unintended consequence of this ordinance is that sex industry activity is taking place right next door to the same social conservatives that support this tacit zoning issue and drives them insane with angst.

Stripper names. Interesting.
They're all named Madison, Shiloh, Auburn, Misty....on so forth.
You never hear stripper names like Borgnine or Indigestina, Chlamydia, Prilosec, Sterno Fuel, Rockefeller, Nasal Drip, Acetate Lynn, Chloroform,
Bean Curd, Flipper, Tongue Suppressor, Lactate Lou and of course, Balsamic Vinagarette.

Houston is the only place I have ever seen Billboards advertising "Live Sex on Stage"
