Police responded to the incident at 3:30 a.m. Sunday at Club Onyx, described on its website as an upscale “urban gentlemen’s club” and adult entertainment venue.
If you’ve been convicted of a prostitution-related offense, you might want to hold off on buying tickets to Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV.
While the stadium was still under construction, police in Arlington, Texas, started Operation Spotlight to battle the city’s ongoing problems with prostitution. Now, with a Super Bowl coming to the stadium in 2011, the city is stepping up its efforts to crack down, The Dallas Morning News reports.
On Tuesday, Arlington City Council discussed a proposal for a prostitution exclusion zone. The ordinance would set boundaries that people convicted of prostitution-related offenses couldn’t legally cross, effective for one year.
The proposed zone includes a section of Arlington, including Cowboys Stadium, as well as Six Flags Over Texas and Rangers Ballpark.
If approved, a violation of the ordinance would be considered a Class C misdemeanor, which is the equivalent of a speeding ticket.

Over the past few years, hookers and johns haven’t received the message that they aren’t wanted in the family-friendly area. Now, the city is contemplating banishment from a newly defined region known as the Prostitution Exclusion Zone, the Morning News reports, as a way to get rid of the offenders for good. Uh, well, for a very short time anyway. OK, only a year to be precise.
In other words, the plan will keep prostitutes away from Cowboys Stadium until well after the curtain has closed on Super Bowl XLV next February.
Sure it will.
Imagine yourself a prostitute placed under geographic banishment from working in the Entertainment District/PEZ — aka the site of one of the world’s greatest sporting events — where you could, theoretically, make more money than you ever have before. Is Arlington’s equivalent of pimp-slapping you to the outer fringe of Fun Central something you’ll take lying down? I bet not, and I bet that since you’re a prostitute to begin with, the threat of an additional Class C misdemeanor isn’t much of a deterrent to violating your expulsion.
Aiden’s tenacity and love of the hustle gets him on our list. He’ll play in any venue, to any crowd, to any music, and he’ll win fans over with his seamless execution. According to DJ Aiden, nightlife is in his blood. Hailing from a small town in East Texas, Ondrej played anywhere people would have him. Once he mastered his craft, he landed a residency on Saturday nights at Plush.
“I stick mostly with hip-hop and Top 40 because it gets me moving and up and dancing,” he says. “I like to entertain as much as I love to DJ.”
He also has a business called Need A DJ Dallas that specializes in veritably pimping out DJ services to every event imaginable – weddings, private parties, bar mitzvahs, you name it. And although he’s known for his mainstream style, Ondrej’s personal favorites are across the board. For fun, he spins in an ‘80s cover band called Live 80.

… The Pac 10 basically told Texas to get out of town before sundown, because they don’t need them that bad. The Pac 10 is already the conference of champions, and owns more national titles in all sports combined. By a wide margin. In fact, the top 3 schools for national titles all reside in the Pac 10; UCLA,Stanford, and USC.
The Pac 10 will be just fine without Texas,and just add Utah (another good all around sports school-in fitting with Pac 10 style) and reach the 12 teams required to have a conference title game.
The Big 12 on the other hand has nothing without the Texas schools and Oklahoma (now that Nebraska and Colorado left) except Kansas Basketball. So they that said “how high?” when Texas said ” Jump”. and Now Texas (the Pimp) has it’s own b*tch in the Big 12. Oklahoma is kind of like an assistant pimp or vice president. Texas A&M is just another b*tch along for the ride.
The first, most obvious difference, of course, is the coast. You feel it as soon as you touch down in the airport that straddles the coastline. The sea creates a barrier and an orientation point, forcing restraint. Almost as important, however, are the city’s many valleys and hills. These elevations force neighborhoods that are more naturally delineated; overt sprawl in the city center is impossible, due to intervening dips and rises.
I’m staying near the historic Gaslamp District, which was a late 19
century commercial area á la Dallas’ West End that evolved into a seedy semi-red light district that catered to the many sailors in this military town before being revitalized. The neighborhood’s remaking began more than a decade ago, first introducing the area as a nightlife destination, and then, with the addition of the San Diego Padres’ new baseball stadium, condos and other residential developments were added, giving the neighborhood more around-the-clock life.

Hollywood leads young women to believe that to be somebody the public needs to know who they are through a media outlet. Unfortunately, for some young women wanting to be in the spotlight, that entails lifting their shirts–or worse, while a pimp named Joe Francis directs them from his central-boob-command in Los Angeles. The man-boy who brought the world Girls Gone Wild late night television spots has teamed up with the man who produced (paid for) the anti-American film Redacted, and who’s made himself the face (and belly) of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban.
What a billionaire Internet mogul and an ex-con with a video camera come up with for young women to aspire to is, The Hottest Girl in America. The show on Cuban’s HDNET is a thirty-minute infomercial for Francis’ empire of exploitation where Francis sends his minions out on the road in tour buses like a bunch of Red Bull infused roaming gnomes to egg on young drunk women into an act they may someday regret.
EastEnders to reshoot scene in wake of Bradford murders
A scene in BBC1’s EastEnders featuring a prostitute is to be refilmed after a series of murders in Bradford.
An episode to be screened next week was to feature the character Lucas, played by Don Gilet, attempting to attack a sex worker in a red light district.
But after criminology student Stephen Griffiths – who dubbed himself “the Crossbow Cannibal” when appearing in court last week – was charged with the murders of three women who worked as prostitutes in Bradford, the EastEnders sequence will be reshot.
A spokeswoman for the BBC1 soap said it would “ensure we do not cause distress to the families involved in these tragic events”.
“EastEnders storylines are written many months in advance and any similarity to real life events is coincidental,” she said, adding that changes would certainly be made in this exceptional circumstance.
