The Male Exotic Dancers

In the early 1990s all the male strippers New York and in Chippendales had extended hair like eighties hair bands and if your hair was short it would have been Patrick Swayze like in point break. We all wore earrings and most of the male exotic dancers wore ripped jeans and looked like a rock glam band on steroids. The male strippers in New York today all have short hair and have much more of a leaner athletic appearance then their Chippendales counterparts did twenty years prior. The significant difference involving that look that the male strippers have right now and the Chippendale New York guys had then is everybody these days have the exact same dance moves so these fellas do not stand out the way their counterparts did in the past when all of the acts were choreographed by professional dancers.

The Shows

The new male revue New York City shows today are much smaller than the Chippendales New York male revue shows were back in the day. Way back when we would have numerous male dancer acts, more choreography and were not permitted to touch any of the girls and the girls were not authorized to touch any of the male strippers. Now today’s male review shows at the male strip clubs in New York City have a completely hands experience where they actually set the bachelorette up on stage in what is named a hot seat which incorporates the bride to be in the act. Some of the acts get wild and crazy and a little bit over the top. If we did a quarter of what these guys did back in Chippendales we would have been thrown out of the club with our G-strings on.

Since the new Immigration Act in 1965, a steady stream of Chinese immigrants has flowed into Manhattan to claim it as their own. The garment industry in particular has been dramatically affected, gradually moving from its base in the Garment District above 34th Street into Chinatown. Built on the site of what were once Manhattan’s worst slums in the late 1800s,and portrayed in Martin Scorcese’s film Gangs of New York, the heart of Chinatown is Matt Street, with Mulberry, Canal and Bayard streets also an important part of this colorful area.

It can be a little overwhelming at first to be faced with a mass of licensed and unlicensed street traders, selling everything from fake watches to pretty satin slippers. This is, of course, the area to head to for superb Chinese cuisine, with hundreds of restaurants packed into just a few blocks. But there’s also so much more to this area than great food.

The bustling market on Canal Street is the place to head for bargains, from food to clothes, while the numerous gift shops are excellent places to pick up beautiful Chinese artwork and
homeware. Drop by Kam Man grocery store at 200 Canal Street, which stocks everything from plucked ducks to lychee jelly snacks. The store is one of the largest of its kind in the area and is a fascinating place to explore. There’s an important historical aspect to Chinatown that can easily be forgotten amid the hectic pace of everyday street life.

Cultural gems that can be found while wandering include the Eastern States Buddhist Temple at 64 Mott Street, which contains more than 100 golden Buddhas. Also worth checking is the Wall of Democracy on Baynard Street, which is festooned with posters and newspaper cuttings documenting the changing situation in China. Colombus Park, at the corner of Mulberry and Baynard streets offers an opportunity to unwind in a green oasis and watch Chinatown’s residents play Chinese checkers (draughts) beneath the trees. You know you’ve reached Confucius Plaza when you see the towering sculpture of the famous Oriental philosopher. Read the rest of this entry »
