Is the Art of Male Stripping Dead?

A Cynical Ex-Chippendale's Guy and a Tall Beautiful Lady Stripper Take in a Male Strip Show in Hollywood

Rumors of the death of male stripping in America are greatly exaggerated. I know, because recently on a dark dank Saturday night, I took the Queen of LA Stripper Intelligensia, 5'10" Private Dancer/Nordic goddess Nica Jensen, to the seedy sweet scrotum of Hollywood, Arena Nightclub, Santa Monica & Highland, where The Hollywood Men were reportedly going to be shakin and bakin their moneymakers, while frenzied females shriek & wave seas of money for dick-filled lap dances. Needless to say, me and Nica are highly skeptical. We're early. The club seats 500 people. So far there are only 7 lovely Latinas at one table, decked out in the height of East LA fashion. One wears a white wedding veil. One is in a wheelchair. They are already drinking heavily. Looks like we're in for a long night. We're greeted by Dan Remington, the emcee/part owner of The Hollywood Men. He's a 16 pound bowling ball of a guy with slick hair and matching handshake, surrounded by a surprisingly nice smile.
