The place for live nude entrepreneurs.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA– When dancers at San Francisco’s Lusty Lady turned the exotic club into an egalitarian co-op, they found it tough to reconcile their lofty ideals with the aesthetic realities of the sex trade.

One of the first things the dancers did was to toss out rules about maintaining the same body type as the day they were hired, and ones regarding height-weight proportion. A list of acceptable hair colors was scrapped, along with a policy regulating the quantity and location of tattoos.

Now, larger dancers and those who might not be stereotypically “pretty” are welcome on the Lusty stage, but this emphasis on inclusion has brought difficulties for the 60 or so dancer-owners.

It all seemed so simple when they bought the dive.

Lilah Mayhem is pale with long dark hair and a thin frame, while Cinnamon Rose has shorter, red-streaked hair and a darker complexion. Wendy works the stage in striped pink knee socks and glasses, while another dancer wears old wedge sandals and a cheerfully curling brown wig. Many sport multiple piercings and tattoos.

After buying the club for $400,000 in 2003, the next step was to put themselves through guerilla business school.

The Lusties, as they call themselves, enlisted the help of other local co-ops such as Rainbow Grocery and Good Vibrations, a local female-run sex-toy shop.

They learned the ins and outs of running a collective business and hammered out articles of incorporation within days.

That's better.

All new proposals, from bylaw modifications down to buying new carpets, would need approval from general co-op membership and the board of directors. Every worker, whether support staff or performer, had the right to submit a proposal, and decisions would be made by majority vote via paper ballot.

But the theater’s mission statement, which seeks to break down hierarchy, made the creation and enforcement of managerial policies difficult.

“It’s hard, because we’d elect people to enforce our performance standards, but we hadn’t yet decided on what those are,” said former dancer Lili Marlene, who was involved in the transition. “Hygiene rules are easier.”

Dancers learned how to take disciplinary action against each other via new policies such as peer-based performance reviews. Each week performers evaluate their onstage colleagues, considering general appearances, customer interaction, and levels of eye contact.

The first years of self-governance were the most difficult.

“On a good day, it’s like Peter Pan,” said Lili Marlene. “On a bad day, it was like Lord of the Flies. We can do whatever we want, and there’s nobody to tell us what to do.”

Vegetables with Quick and Creamy Dip

Apparently, people are having alone time with their produce instead of simply buying sex toys from Sara’s and it’s not right.

Spokesperson Gary Krupkin says, “It’s a long, simmering problem in our society. Political correctness demands that we address vegetable abuse in all forms. Nobody wants to hurt vegetables, yet every night they are abused.”

Though cucumbers are the spokesveggie for the cause Krupkin laments that other foods, like bananas and rutabagas, are equally abused.

Their billboards and campaign ads have caused controversy in Texas, but Krupkin says it’s all worth it if it ends the pain.

Australia doing its part to sate the market for British college girl pr0n.

Naive Laura was desperate for cash after being DRUGGED and ROBBED of her £3,000 savings in Australia.

Unable to find work, she decided to pose for nude pictures. But what began as a bit of a giggle far from home led to her taking part in a lesbian romp appearing on the internet.

Sordid

Now, as we reveal the shame of backpacking British students involved in porn shame abroad, Laura tells of her bitter regrets.

Back in Bristol, where she is about to start her final year of a media studies degree, Laura said: “I didn’t think through the consequences. I was worried the pictures would get out so I told the people I loved. My parents were so disappointed.” It all seemed so harmless when she was thousands of miles away in Melbourne and worried about money.

She had only been in the city a few weeks when her world trip was nearly shattered. Laura recalled: “I’d saved £3,000 and kept it in a money belt which was stupid.

“One night I got drunk, met a guy in a bar and woke up on a bench with my phone, cash and camera gone. I think I’d been drugged.”

As she contemplated the end of her travelling dream, Laura saw an ad for models and after an interview, agreed to strip for her first shoot.

She should take more vacations...

She was paid £350, and the promise of bigger pay soon beckoned. Laura then agreed to be videoed for an erotic shoot. “It was a lot more explicit. I had to flaunt my body, touch myself and use toys. I didn’t feel as comfortable as there were more people around but I got £500.”

A string of saucy pictures followed, earning Laura another £3,000. Then she was asked to do the lesbian romp, which she found very scary.

“I was shaking beforehand,” she said, “but after a few minutes I was lost in the moment. It was my first time with a girl.” The porn shoot earned her £3,500.

Regret

Overall, Laura made £14,000 in ten months. She said: “I used the money to see Australia, including Sydney and the Gold Coast. It was planes, taxis and nice hotels all the way.”

She consolded herself with the thought no-one in Britain would ever know.

Now she admits: “If I’d been offered the chance to star in adult material here I’d have run a mile but it felt like no one back home would ever get to see the pics.

“Girls doing porn shoots abroad must assume they’ll be discovered. I’m sure there are lots of girls who now regret what they’ve done.”

Nude net romp for students

Oddly enough, she's also inspired shitloads of “shoots” by men around the world.

The X-rated photos and video footage appear on another Aussie porn website which features UK ‘backpackers’ indulging in explicit sex acts for cash- raking in up to £2,000 for lesbian sex.

Skint Brits Sian, Jocelyn K and Lily T are funding their travels with a series of raunchy vids.

School-leaver Sian, 18, giggles: “This is crazy. I would never do it in England,” before bragging about a foursome.

And Brummie Shaminee, 21, boasts: “I’ve done shit-loads of shoots in a couple of months.”

We were initially too excited by the title too... what can we say?

The costumes feature Carrie as “American Dream Girl” and “Spider Girl”. The company called and wanted Carrie to model more outfits this year but she declined citing scheduling problems. There are only three words to describe Carrie in these outfits. HOT! HOT! HOT!

One wonders how many boilermakers it took to get the boiler makers to pose au naturel.

Mr. February is wearing nothing but a cardboard box. Mr. October is posed like the famed Rodin sculpture “The Thinker.” Mr. April is naked but for a flag bearing the company’s logo, flowing in front of his lower body.

Their protest is the latest, and barest, effort by French workers to fight back at the economic downturn.

Employees have locked up their bosses, threatened to blow up factories and blocked oil supplies in scattered incidents around France in recent months.

After receiving the news in June that they might be laid off, the workers at the Chaffoteaux factory took a creative approach to show their displeasure. The company, which makes gas and water heating equipment, is facing declining demand amid a slump in real estate sales and a shift in French households away from gas heaters.

Fifteen men who work at the factory in Ploufragan, 450 kilometers (280 miles) west of Paris, posed for the calendar. Five thousand copies were printed, and 2,000 had been sold at euro7 each as of Monday, three days after they were made available.

Brigitte Coadic, the representative from the CGT labor union that organized the calendar, said the workers want to attract public attention to the layoffs in the hope that will help them in negotiations with the management.

“In contrast to classic responses to layoffs … we aren’t going to just accept fate,” she said. The workers did not appear to be offering any solid solutions to the company’s declining sales.

Requests for the calendars have come in from cities across France, said Coadic.

A Chaffoteaux spokeswoman said 207 of the factory’s 251 employees may be laid off, but said that depends on further negotiations. A meeting between the management of Chaffoteaux and factory representatives is scheduled for Sept. 28, said the spokeswoman, who was not authorized to be publicly named because of company policy.

She would not comment on the calendar.

Ludovic L’Hostellier, 32, is “Mr. February.” His nude pose is in a big box whose lid is closing on him. The box is labeled Chaffoteaux.

“It represents the company closing, just like the box I’m in,” he explained by phone.

He said his wife was pleased with the photos and “we have had only good reactions” to the calendar.” He said if he does lose his job at the end of the year, he will look for another immediately. “We can’t live without working,” he said.

Chaffoteaux is a branch of Italy-based Ariston Thermo Group.

Wait a minute… nicotine patches deliver nutrients to the body? We don’t even know how “the oldest herbal awareness” combined with the “latest technologies” offers the customer an “alternative deliver system”. Does that mean maybe there’s some herb one can eat for a large penis–a Popeye penis supplement? And what’s with this exercise? We can’t find much out about that without buying the product, but after six months the site promises throbbing blood flow and rock hard erections. Maybe we need to call Miss Cleo, but we would bet IF the magic patch to a magic wand didn’t work out they might blame the customer’s lack of exercise. Just a thought.

But hey, if you try it out and it works for you, let us know. We at Naked Circus love happy endings–especially when they’re big and throbbing.

The folks at Gizmodo report the Chandelier is made by a Dutch company, however, we haven’t found a list price… yet.

Originally they were going to call it a necrophiles cruise.

That’s right, a bit of naughtiness will be hitting the high seas in December as what’s billed as the first “cougar cruise” sets sail out of San Diego.

Los Gatos, Calif.-based Singles Travel Company and singles group The Society of Single Professionals are co-sponsoring the three-night escapade aboard a Carnival ship, which is aimed at older woman who pursue younger men — or “cougars,” in contemporary lingo.

The International Cougar Cruise, as it’s being called, kicks off Dec. 4 on the Carnival Elation and will include a single stop in Ensenada, Mexico. Prices begin at $125 per person, based on double occupancy and not including port charges and government fees.

Singles Travel Company promises three days of singles meet-ups, dancing and “partying” that draws its inspiration from Valerie Gibson’s 2001 book Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men — a pitch that’s filled with innuendo. As the firm notes in a press release, a cougar “knows exactly what she wants,” the book says, and “what she doesn’t want is children, cohabitation or commitment.”

Singles Travel Company executive director Ann Thomas notes 2009 is “the year of the cougar,” according to a recent story in Newsweek. The term is going ever more mainstream with TV shows like Courteney Cox’s soon-to-debut Cougar Town on ABC and the Bachelor-like reality dating show The Cougar.

The voyage will be headlined by Miss Cougar America 2009, Gloria Navarro, crowned at the recent National Single Cougars Convention in Palo Alto, Calif.
