Thanks to several who pointed me to this place. Strippers World. It is definitely a good idea to label the parts if you are unsure. “I love to be rimmed” was another hilariously labelled ‘kini. A disheartening and depressing shop. And is that the best font they could come up with for cunt? Would comic sans have killed them? Jesus, and shouldn’t there be a fucking apostrophe as well? Aargh.
Is the ‘kini label there so the gals know not to put it on backwards, or so the guys know which way to approach it?
As a professional editor (believe it or not) I’d have to say that an apostrophe is not always necessary in “Strippers World”. It depends on the cuntext. It is a world for strippers, rather than one of or belonging to them.
I love the self-portrait in that bottom shot, LA. Hadn’t realised you were a flasher.

So many questions.
LikeLike
Even though it’s depressing in a way, I kind of like the no-nonsense functionality of it. It’s like the businesses in light industrial areas – the clients know what the shop sells, there aren’t any competitors, they know where the shop is, they don’t need fancy signs to attract them to it because it’s the place to go for the tools of the trade. The whole thing says: hens’ night sex-shoppers, adultshop is just up the road. You’ll just get technical talk and withering looks in here. (and I haven’t even tried to go in).
And as vic points out the apostrophe is a grey area. Apostrophe implies: a world of things for strippers.
No apostrophe kind of implies:
In here is an entire world of strippers; nothing but strippers; nothing but stuff for strippers. There is nothing in the world and no need for anything in the world but strippers and strippers’ gear.

One wonders why you would print the views of religious crackpots like Margaret Court. As far as I can tell, people like our Madge fall into two groups. Those that are in denial about their own sexuality, and those who find it convenient to hide their hatred and bigotry behind a veneer of religion. I don’t know whether she falls into the first group (although her laughable views on lesbians in tennis sound a little denialist to me), but she certainly falls into the latter group. Compared to her, other Perth bigots like the Men’s Confraternity seem positively delightful. Her “Families for Hatred Church” or whatever it is called is more closely related to the Jack van Tongeren style of organisation.

Dear P Nurry
Seeing everyone’s going on about the butch lezzos and rimming poofs, let me begin by linking the Beijing Olympics with the Perth gay parade and then say that I understand it all so much that I don’t understand it.
Just because a person is a lezzo or poof, and just because we live in a time when lezzoness and poofery is acceptable, why do they (and I’ve got nothing against them) insist on showing us their pubes and buttocks every year at a parade that I never bother going to (but still manage to know everything about)?
Really, it’s kind of like being a hack journo writing in a weekend throwaway rag who just goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on about something they think they know but really don’t know anything about.
I mean why should we, as the newspaper reading public, be subjected to such drivel?
That uppity Cheng bitch might think she has a point when a bunch of slavs go out to beat up a few carpet eaters and poop tubers in some eastern European dive, but aren’t they asking for it when they so obviously flaunt their gear in public to that horrible music that isn’t ABBA?
Let’s face it – there are queers and dykes everywhere (I suspect my little doggie might be one), but not all of them want to come out of the closet. And why should they? As for me, I can tell them a mile off (perhaps my doggie is the exception here) – that’s why I waited until Chris Masters had ALREADY published his book on Alan Jones and the ABC had run 100 stories to plagerise before coming out of my own closet to write my 10 page piece on the whole thing.
I’m an older Australian who’s open minded enough to think that it all doesn’t matter. And I’m willing to write a 20,000 word blathering article – complete with lifts from other stories – to make this point.
PS – and while I’ve got nothing against poofters, I hate the cinema of Kennth Anger, Luchino Visconti and Pedro Almovadar. I also hate the films of that hi-brow wanker Jim Jarmusch, who might not be a poof but sure looks like one….

the apostrophe problem is simply caused by both the possessive and plural forms of ‘stripper’ taking an ‘s’.
to illuminate any such situation, replace the word with ‘mice’
would it be ‘Mice World’ or ‘Mice’s World’ ?
would it be a ‘Mice Festival’ or a ‘Mice’s Festival’ ?
can we move on now?

There is no possible misunderstanding that this is not a possesive. It is a world FOR strippers. A world belonging to strippers. There is no chance that it is supposed to be adjectival or a world of plural strippers in there. Therefore it just looks stupid and wrong. Unlike my frequent spelling and grammar mistakes, it is not possible to correct with an edit.

I still think it’s adjectival, because you can buy/hire strippers in there, plural if you want.

The nation needs it, hell even our P.M.
So ask yourself if you were a high school drop out, heroin addicted whore that stripped for a living…. Such as the author of this article’s wife.
Then ask whether or not you would like to buy your outfits from an adult shop (Where any perv can dwell), or a place dedicated to the line of work you are in?
Untill then, get the fuck over it and check out the gay mens sex club in Mount Lawley across the road from nandos and hungry jacks.

This is a fragment, not a sentence. Please make a note.
I suspect your use of “whom” is also incorrect, although this has always been something of a mystery to me. I’m sure someone else here (Cohen?) can clear this up – please be sure to pay attention, and avoid repetition of similar errors.

Hmm. Anonymous appears to an American drag Queen (hence the obvious and deeplky rooted psychosexual guilt in his/her/its ramblings) who was deeply scarrred by undergraduate studies in semiotic theory (hence the incomprehensible nature of the ramblings) or pretensions to being a poet (the only viable excuse for the incomprehensible nature of the ramblings).
For my money Bento performs a useful public service. I say bring back public floggings for those who torture the English language needlessly. Private canings on bare bottoms can probably be arranged by androgynous Anonymous (or should that be Androgynous Anonymous? Over to you, Bento).
BTW, does Bento stand for Japanese takeaway (in which case it ought to be Bentō), the FilemakerPro database product, the former Portuguese goal keeper or the old OpenDoc object oriented persistence layer (format)?
