GWU/Foggy Bottom questions and observations

Why am I seeing all these Eastern European (female) exotic dancers dragging carry-on bags onto the George Washington University campus?

Also, how come I see so many male GWU students dressed like a cross between early-60's era "Animal House" and Hogwarts extras?  Pledging?

A Fort Bend county teen was killed while traveling in Mexico. A Mexican newspaper said the body of 18-year-old Elisabeth Mandala was found with the bodies of two men inside a pickup truck on a highway in Mina, Nuevo Leon, a small town outside of Monterrey on Saturday morning.

Snippet(s):

" It looked like a horrific crash, but after taking a closer look, Mexican authorities said the scene was staged and the teen and two men were beaten to death."

&

"Mandala's mother reported her daughter missing on May 1. According to HPD, Mandala's mother told them her daughter was possibly headed to Mexico with an unknown person and had mentioned wanting to be a coyote. She also told police she'd recently learned her daughter was an exotic dancer."

JG - Teen prostitutes - Negril - trafficking hotbed, girls in poverty abducted

Teen prostitutes - Negril - trafficking hotbed, girls in poverty abducted

Avia Collinder, Sunday Gleaner Writer

A REPORT on human trafficking in Jamaica, commissioned by the National Task Force against Trafficking in Persons within the Ministry of National Security, reveals a connection between sexual exploitation, forced labour and tourism.

Read the whole article here.

Snippet(s):

"Completed late last year, the report: 'Human trafficking for sexual exploitation and forced labour in Jamaica', was prepared by Sybil Ricketts and Dr Leith Dunn of Kingston-based Searchcon Resource Consultants.

The study was conducted in Kingston and St Andrew, Negril in Westmoreland and Montego Bay, St James.

The findings indicate that the tourist industry, more specifically, the informal sex industry, is a significant contributor to the exploitation of individuals."

"The findings showed that several children in the western resort town of Negril were victims of human trafficking, which was directly related to increased advertising for escort services.

Eleven victims from the area were singled out in the study."

"A non-random sampling method was used to select persons for interviews, and a snowballing method employed to reach a sample size of 29 victims.

Snowballing involves identifying key informants who then referred researchers to other respondents."

&

"(T)the report confirms that the victims of trafficking are predominantly female (79.3 per cent) with the modal age group being 18 to 24 years, primarily high school leavers without children or partners.

Forty-three per cent of the victims were involved in exotic dancing or commercial sex work."

re: "More Women Turning to Pole Dancing to Make Ends Meet"

Nixon at LT Nixon Rants ("Looking for truth and starting controversy since 1980!") reminds us there are always unintended consequences.

Money quote(s):

"One positive unintended consequence of this economic catastrophe is that "gentleman's clubs" are seeing an in-flux of babes looking to work the pole."

"While the cash flow is certainly a vast improvement over slinging chicken fingers to fatso families at TGI Friday's, this AP article does not take into account the lady's new spending on the requisite cocaine addiction that often comes with being an exotic dancer."

&

"What other business (besides a casino) can a guy walk in and spend hundreds of dollars in a matter of hours on lap dances in the VIP room because he erroneously thinks "I bet she really likes me, man!". Most male readers of this blog should be able to relate with some level of empathy."

JG - Haitian dancers fire up north-coast clubs

Haitian dancers fire up north-coast clubs

published: Sunday July 6, 2008

THE GUNS-for-drugs trade between Jamaica and Haiti has taken an exotic twist as female nationals from the French-speaking country are now providing entertainment at some of the popular nightspots on the island's north coast.

Read the whole article here.

Snippet(s):

"The Sunday Gleaner reported recently that the Haitian women, on most occasions, arrived as part of the barter agreement.

The report also disclosed that in order to survive, the women accepted meagre wages, sometimes as low as $250 per day, to work in bars, shops and other small businesses. "
