Gay chippendale dancers
Jaymes Vaughan has lead an appealing life. He has circled the globe on Amazing Race and as host of the Chippendales World Tour. He is first openly gay member of this sexy stage show. The Chippendales are taking over Tulalip Resort and Casino tonight. The display is completely sold out but Jaymes gave us some moment in his busy schedule.
Earle Dutton: You have been interviewing a lot of celebrities lately, prefer Joan Collins and Robin Leach. Who was your favorite so far?
Jaymes Vaughan: I despise to just pick one because it kind of makes me seem like a jerk but Susan Lucci was amazing. The timing of that interview was awesome. I interviewed her the week that my episode of The Young & The Restless was on the air. It was so cool to interview the Queen of Soap Operas the week of my soap opera debut. I got her input and her advice on how to make a career out of it. She was just so cool to act the interview in the first place but to also accept time out of the interview to speak about me and my career. She is a very cool lady. She taught me how to slap and everything.

I've been trying to take a picture of Olga beneath the big Ceanothus, or California lilac, that grows on the housing estate where we often walk. This was the first endeavor, which is attractive good.
But then we walked by later and the bush seemed to be blooming even more:
Unfortunately Olga herself looks a little wide-bodied in this shot. (And she really isn't.) I just can't win!
Dave and I just finished a four-part documentary on Amazon about the Chippendales, the legendary troupe of male "exotic dancers" from the '80s. I remember them from their heyday but I forgot that the whole enterprise flamed out in the preliminary '90s amid charges of murder and arson. (I reflect I was overseas at the period and didn't hold up with all that news.) The documentary tells the whole dramatic story as well as the personal journeys of some of the dancers and managerial staff, and it was cute darn entertaining.
What the documentary didn'tdo was even utter the word "gay," which I found curious. The Chippendales only danced for women; men were expressly barred from the clubs until the perform
&#;Welcome to Chippendales&#; tells a success story gone wrong
“Welcome to Chippendales” is the juicy, entertaining true-crime story of how Somen “Steve” Banerjee opened and operated the world-famous male strip club for ladies — and how it all went south. This 8-episode limited series on HULU begins November 22 with the first two episodes,. New episodes will be dropping weekly through January 3.
The show recounts how Somen (Kumail Nanjiani) went from managing a gas station to renaming himself “Steve” and opening a nightclub in Los Angeles. Steve’s first venture is a backgammon club that failed to draw customers. However, after self-proclaimed club promoter Paul Snider (Dan Stevens) and his girlfriend Dorothy Stratten (Nicola Peltz Beckham) walk in, Steve asks for their assist. Although various gimmicks from mudwrestling to an oyster-eating contest fail to lure customers, when the trio go out to a gay club, Steve gets the idea to rotate the space into a male strip club for women.
Finding a bunch of guys willing to accept their clothes off is not a big oppose, nor is finding women t
Men were stripping for men in gay clubs, but the first mainstream producers of male exotic gyrate , Somen Banerjee, Paul Snider, and Bruce Nahin, were not aware of the fact. In they opened the "first" male exotic dance club, Chippendales, and specified that the audience must be solely female. Not because they wanted to exclude same-sex attracted men -- they were apparently not aware that gay men existed -- but because they consideration that boyfriends and husbands would prohibit the women from letting loose and enjoying themselves.
Gay men noticed, however. By Bullwinkle's, the gay bar in Bloomington, Indiana, was hosting a Chippendales Night fundraiser with guys shirtless except for their massive pecs and those little bow ties.
