| How can I even
pretend to be a real e-zine without a page for headlines!? This section will
contain newsworthy events related to the strip club business, especially as
it pertains to Los Angeles. Events covered by the traditional media will
still be in the Media Bites section. This section will be reported by myself
and other reporters for Z Bone.
Well, here you go and here we go. One step closer to being just another
boring e-zine. Yeah, right!

After the strip clubs collected the needed signatures last year to put
the original ordinance on hold, the LA City Council has removed the
so-called anti-lap dancing portion from the
original ordinance.
The new ordinance is
different in 2 main sections. The paragraph containing the rule that
dancers must be 6' away from customers at all times, has been removed.
This was the paragraph that would have ended lap dancing. Secondly,
the wording of the so-called "no VIP room" paragraph has been slightly
modified, allowing multi-room clubs to remain as is. However, VIP
rooms, private booths, and cubicles are not allowed, as was the case in the
original ordinance.
The other items of interest, such as the yearly renewal of permits, and the
requirement of bonded uniformed security guards, still remain in the revised
ordinance.
The revised ordinance will take effect as of January 11, 2004. The
physical changes to the clubs(e.g. removal of VIP rooms) must be completed
within 180 days of that date.
