» South Bay crime stats An increase in males having sex in public parks in northeast Los Angeles has resulted in more of them being arrested on suspicion of performing lewd acts, Los Angeles police vice officers said today. More than 90 males were arrested in 2009 — up from 75 in 2008 — on suspicion of lewd conduct in the Northeast area, including Elysian Park, Griffith Park and Sycamore Grove Park, and police want to curtail the trend. “We took two stations out on an undercover operation,” LAPD Vice Sgt. Lisa Phillips said at a news conference today. “The whole purpose, intention and goal of this operation is to get the word out to the community at large that this is a serious problem.” During the news conference, police showed video of arrests made by undercover officers. The video also showed park areas littered with used con …

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Even-handed, fascinating look at Alice creator
Woolf effectively deals with these issues. She shows clearly that the nudity of little girls was considered in Victorian times to be the epitome of innocence and beauty, that Carroll was following a painting and photographic tradition, that there was never a hint by his subjects of anything but a chaste, innocent and caring relationship, and that Carroll took great care with those relationships to avoid controversy.
She shows that his professed hatred of boys was a pose, that he had friendships with both genders and a wide variety of ages, and some significant friendships with older women, and that he enjoyed confronting conventional morality while at the same time espousing high moral principles.
Woolf deftly juggles known facts about Carroll’s life and Victorian time with reasonable inferences; there are no wild leaps of faith that has allowed other biographers to superimpose upon Carroll their own sense of what he must have done.
Take, for example, her excellent discussion of whether Carroll’s diary notes of asking for forgiveness for sin imply that he had an adulterous affair, or that he engaged prostitutes, as others have conjectured.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Malkovich Plays Serial Killer at Barbican in 2011
Malkovich Plays Serial Killer at Barbican in 2011
Date: 12 March 2010
The Barbican Centre’s 2010/11 programme will include the UK premiere of a ‘dramatised concert’ retelling of the life of an Austrian serial killer, starring Hollywood star John Malkovich.
Titled The Infernal Comedy: Confessions of a Serial Killer, the show, which takes place in the Barbican Hall on 17 June 2011, is based on the story of Jack Unterweger, who murdered at least 11 prostitutes before committing suicide in 1994. It was first staged in 2008 in Santa Monica, California, with Malkovich in the title role.
Written and directed by Michael Sturminger, it consists of eight monologues interspersed with performances of arias by classical composers backed by a baroque orchestra. It was described as “devastatingly absurd and unnerving” by Variety during its 2009 run in Vienna.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Religious Hypocrisy and Arrogance
In recent times, it seems like religion, including Islam, the Catholic Church, the Republican Party and the Religious Right keep getting hit by sex scandals – gay sex scandals – every other week. What is going on? Are these institutions loosing their grip on their members? Or are the members no longer believing or following the institutional moral compass? Or is there a double standard?
“Hypocrisy is the homage which vice pays to virtue” – François de la Rochefoucauld
nce again, the Catholic Church is rocked to its foundations by a gay sex scandal. A Papal Gentleman-in-Waiting is alleged to have enlisted the services of a chorister to procure the services of male prostitutes. In other news, a California State Senator – a 55-year-old husband and father of four – who consistently voted against gay rights measures during his 14 years in office has announced he is gay, following a DUI (driving under the influence) arrest.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Internet body delays decision on .XXX domain name
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The adult entertainment industry is going to have to wait a while longer to see whether it gets its .XXX domain name.
The board of ICANN, the international regulatory body for Web addresses, on Friday delayed a decision until June on whether to create the .XXX domain.
The decision was taken at a board meeting in Nairobi of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, ICANN said in a statement.
ICANN said the .XXX domain for adult websites would be considered at its next meeting, which is to be held June 20-25 in Brussels.
ICM Registry, a company which registers domain names, applied for the .XXX domain in 2004 as a home for the adult entertainment industry.
ICANN rejected the application in 2007 but that decision was overturned last month by an independent review panel.

Los Angeles Adult Entertainment: Weekend Box Office Predictions 3/12
Recent movies, such as last month’s Dear John, have proven that the teenage female base of moviegoers will come out in droves when they are interested in the subject matter. That could be the case with Remember Me which features Twilight star Robert Pattinson. There is also the added draw that the trailer for Eclipse will debut in front of the film, however the effect of that should be minimal given that it hit the internet yesterday. Reviews have been poor, with some absolutely hating the film, but that won’t matter to this demo. Remember Me should finish the weekend around $13 million.
The R rated comedy She’s Out of My League looks to follow on the success of other adult oriented comedies and features a cast of mostly unknowns. Early buzz was positive, with the studio screening it to get word of mouth going, but reviews have been mixed. Split opinion on a comedy of this nature though amongst reviewers is encouraging though. Direct competition is pretty much limited to Cop Out although Green Zone could steal some away from it also. Look for She’s Out of My League to pull in about $12 million.
