Striporama would like to wish all our visitors - old and new - a Happy New Year.
In 2007, we resolve to (finally) add more reviews, more galleries and redouble our efforts to mock and abuse publicity-hungry C-list celebs, repressive religious zealots, bigoted self-appointed censors and hypocritical politicians!
Anyone wishing to contribute news, reviews (or review material), photos or info should feel free to get in touch. We're always happy to hear from you.

Miss Nevada was stripped of her title on thursday after raunchy photos of her appeared on the Internet.
Some of the photos show Katie Rees, 22, kissing other young women, exposing one of her breasts, pretending to lick another girl's nipples and pulling down her pants to show her thong. It's all pretty lightweight sub-Girls Gone Wild stuff, but apparently too much for prudish event organisers.
"Katie Rees has been relieved of her duties as Miss Nevada USA 2007," said Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss USA pageant and others.
Rees' dismissal comes two days after Miss USA Tara Conner was allowed to keep her tiara when she admitted underage drinking at New York bars and agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing.
Rees has appeared as Miss Nevada USA at charity events such as the Goodie Two Shoe Giveaway, at which underprivileged students received free shoes, backpacks and school supplies.
Given that Nevada is the home to legalised brothels, casino capital Las Vegas and the annual AVN porn awards, we think that Miss Rees - clearly a girl who knows how to party - is a fine representative...

Potential Olympic skier Ingvild Engesland says she regrets posing nude for the Norwegian soft core porn magazine, Lek.
"I thought it wasn't anything to worry about, there are pictures of naked girls in that magazine every month without it causing any fuss," she naively said.
The magazine features 10 nude photos of Engesland, and calls her a "sexy sports talent".
"This is just terrible. I never got to check the interview and I still haven't seen it. But I have heard some excerpts and I don't recognize myself," Engesland said. "I am very surprised that there has been so much fuss, I am not famous at all. Now that I see the consequences I truly regret doing it.
"I want to be remembered as a skier," she said.

Under a settlement between 18 adult nightclubs and the Alabama attorney general's office, dancers statewide are covering up with flesh-colored latex to comply with the state's anti-nudity law, one of the most restrictive in the nation.
The head of a group composed of adult clubs, Angelina Spencer, said the settlement is similar to agreements and practices in other areas where nude or topless dancing has become a legal issue, although Alabama requires more coverage than other states.
Under Alabama's law regulating exotic dancers, any skin that would normally be covered by a modest bikini must be swathed in an opaque covering. But the law doesn't specify what kind of material must be used, so, in the legal sense, a nylon swimsuit and spray-on latex are virtually the same.
Club operators decided that a combination of thongs and latex spray would meet the law's restrictions if dancers used the rubber to cover themselves in just the right places.
The latex bikini is virtually invisible to customers. The women appear to be completely topless, wearing only thongs.
Spencer, executive director of the Association of Club Executives, said the spray-on bikini tops are "pretty boiler plate" in the industry, but she's never heard of a state requiring dancers to cover their buttocks, too.
Fred Patterson, who works on the Birmingham's vice and narcotics squad, said some clubs were covering dancers with latex long before the agreement was filed.
"You can get it that matches your skin color," said Patterson. "The only thing I hear from the girls is that it can be kind of irritating."
With the settlement, prosecutors agreed to dismiss charges against the operator of a Huntsville strip club called Fantasia Gentleman's Club, where dancers earlier this year were accused of illegally dancing nude.

Former porn star Nikki Anderson, who lost her job as a Kentucky teacher when her past career came to light says she deserves to get her job back.
"I didn't do anything criminal, I did something stupid, but I didn't hurt anybody except myself. They treated me like I was a criminal," said the star, now known as Tericka Dye.
Dye, 33, was a science teacher and volleyball coach at Reidland High School in Paducah. But in April, several students allegedly obttained a copy of a video she was in, and a resource officer at the high school notified the superintendent.
School officials immediately suspended Dye, banned her from school property, and as a non-tenured teacher, told her soon after that her contract would not be renewed. She didn't receive a public hearing on her dismissal because she got paid for the duration of her contract.
Dye's attorney, Mark Blankenship, argues that the school district didn't give her a fair shot, and that's one of the reasons he encouraged her to re-apply to get her teaching position back.
"The school claimed that students would be too disrupted by the knowledge of her past, and that her classroom would be unmanageable, but all that is speculation," Blankenship said. "We think there were students who knew about the tape as early as December, and she wasn't having any problems. They should at least give her a chance."
In her early twenties, the single mother filmed several adult movies. Later, she joined the Army (a far less resspectable career, some night say) and used the GI Bill to attend college, where she graduated at the top of her class.
National attention toward her case led to Dye's Dec. 6 appearance on the talk show, Dr. Phil.
On the show, prickish host Phil McGraw described pornography as the "sleaziest, worst industry," but also posed the question: "Isn't part of one of the things we do in this country is we say, 'If you fall down, get up. Dust yourself off. Make better choices. Do a better job, and make something out of yourself to become a contributing member of society?'"
More than half of the audience stood when McGraw asked if they would be comfortable with Dye teaching their children.

A demented prude who lives near proposed lap dancing club Bohemia has lodged a protest with City of York Council against the bar's plans, claiming they will lead to more rapes and indecent assaults in the area.
Without any evidence to back up her bigoted claims, Suzanne Jaconelli said the plans would create a "little Soho on our doorstep."
Of course, as anyone who has visited Soho could attest, that would mean a collection of trendy bars, deli's, restaurants and TV production companies - truly something to fear. And isn't York actually BIGGER than Soho anyway?
Thankfully, City of York Council stated that such objections are set to be discounted - because they can only consider representations about structural alterations to the building.
A spokeswoman said a public consultation exercise into the business's application related solely to proposed physical changes: Any objections must relate to these changes only.
If any relevant representations are received regarding this application, then a licensing hearing will be held before the council's licensing committee.
She said under the terms of the new Licensing Act, the owners were able to apply to carry out lap dancing because they would have been able to do so under the old licensing laws - dubbed Grandfathers' rights.
The council may impose strict conditions relating to the conduct of the performance, but legislation does not allow for this matter to be subject to public consultation.

We've finished our shopping and festive partying (both of which are a poor but plausible excuse for why there hasn't been an update for a couple of weeks!) and are now looking forward to a Christmas break.
We hope you all have a great time, over indulge and generally live to excess over the next few days.
We'll be back with more news on December 27th!

A toy pole dancer has been scrapped by Marks & Spencer just a week after it went on sale, following protests from fanatical religious bigots.
The "USB pole dancer" is designed to be plugged into any personal computer and comes complete with her own silver pole to dance around, as well as multi-coloured lights and disco music to "recreate an authentic nightclub atmosphere".
Once she is switched on she goes through a gyrating routine with the help of a pre-installed backing track.
The 8 inch tall blonde, sporting a red bikini and matching red lipstick, looked set to bebe a big Christmas hit. But M&S were forced into a hasty about-turn and cleared the £19.50 toy off their shelves after they were 'inundated' with complaints that it was offensive.
Demented Tory MP Ann Widdecombe attacked it as "cheap and tawdry". She added: "I would think this type of product would be entirely counter-productive to the image of M&S. It won't suit most of the customers who go to M&S anyway, so why do it? It's not respectful towards women."
Widdicombe of course converted to Catholicism after the Church of England allowed the ordination of women priests, so she's hardly one to talk about a lack of respect.
An M&S spokeswoman said last night "the crux of the complaints was really that some people were offended by the product. It was marketed at adults and was clearly marked 'Not suitable for children'. It was originally intended as a fun Christmas gift and it was never our intention to cause offence but obviously we take every complaint seriously."
Good to know. Let's all complain to them about this pathetic self-censorship.

A pornographic video featuring a well known TV star is breaking all sales records in Iran. And the actress is now facing the threat of death by stoning from the Muslim fanatics who run the country.
The home made video is said to feature soap star Sahra Amir Ebrahimi having sex with her boyfriend - a heinous act under Islamic law.
The Government have branded the video a "national shame." Unlike their primitive legal system and appalling human rights record, then.
Iran's much-feared attorney general, Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi, is demanding death by stoning, arguing that the porn flick promotes prostitution.
Ebrahimi's film lover, apparently a TV production assistant, has already been arrested and is said to have confessed to the filmed sex act. But he claims to have been "temporarily married" to Ebrahimi at the time the video was made. In Shiite Islam, being "temporarily married" makes both sex before official marriage and infidelity somewhat less sinful. So far, eight people have already been arrested as part of investigations into the affair.
Ebrahimi is staying home for now in Tehran's university neighborhood, and trying to "sit this out as a woman." Ebrahimi insists she is not the person seen in the film.
Despite its comparatively steep price of €10, it is believed that more than 100,000 copies of the cheap DVD have been sold in Tehran, which suggest that hipocrisy is alive and well in Iran.

An appeals court in Norway has ruled that striptease is an art form and should therefore be exempt from value-added tax.
The owners of the Diamond Go Go Bar in Oslo had refused to pay VAT of 25% on entry fees as tax authorities demanded.
Lawyers for the club's owners argued that striptease dancers were stage artists just like sword-swallowers and comedians and deserved the same status.
"Striptease, in the way it is practised in this case, is a form of dance combined with acting," the judges ruled.
The court's ruling upholds an earlier verdict of May 2005.
"One can suspect there were moral scruples behind the tax authorities' claim since all forms of stage dance are free of value-added tax," the club owners' lawyer stated.
The court ordered the state to cover the court costs.

Singapore photographer Leslie Kee has found himself in the centre of a controversy over the launch of his latest photobook and exhibition, SuperStars, featuring 300 top Asian celebrities.
The Straits Times reports that Aaron Kwok's manager, Siu May "accused Kee of releasing a picture that shows an apparently nude Kwok without approval".
Fellow Asian celeb Andy Hui is shown lying back with a pair of jeans in between his crotch in another revealing picture. Kee had originally shot Hui topless and wearing jeans but wasn't happy with the outcome and pushed for more nudity. Hui apparently relented but after viewing the photos didn't want them to be used in public.
The 7,000-copy limited-edition photobook which consists of 640 high quality color pages will be sold for $300.

Plans to open a new lap-dancing club in Newcastle have been attacked, not just by the usual suspects but also by rival organisations as well.
An application has been lodged to open a strip club called Bare Elegance in Neville Street, Newcastle, under the Lounge Bar.
Glenn Nicie, who runs one of the city's existing topless bars, believes the club will feature full female nudity. Good God, surely not!
Nicie, who runs both For Your Eyes Only and Blue Velvet, said "if they get the go-ahead with this, we will have to do it, too."
And the problem is...?
The application says Bare Elegance would provide striptease, table-side dancing, pole dancing and lap dancing from 11am to 4.30am. The club would be across the road from the church of St John the Baptist. St Mary's Cathedral and Buffer Bear nursery are also nearby.
Councillor Geraldine Ormonde, spokeswoman for Gateshead and Newcastle Women's Alliance, ranted "it's absolutely terrible. This would be a backward step for Newcastle and I'm certainly going to lobby against it."

It's egos on the rampage time.
Fresh from her non-triumph in TV show I'm A Celebrity get Me Out of Here - the notorious show for has-beens and never-wheres to make a final grab at the fame pie - former BBC news reader Jan Leeming has stated that she would pose for Playboy if she was offered £250,000.
Not that such an offer was actually forthcoming, you understand. And frankly, Leeming is living in a fantasy world if she thinks that any magazine would even pay her £250 to strip off, surely.
After the show, Playboy TV in the UK did offer her work presenting a show. The fee was not made public, but we can reasonably assume it was less than she wanted for the nudie spread.
Meanwhile, ghastly Sharon Osbourne has shocked - possibly even terrified - viewers of The X Factor by claiming she would bare her breasts if they voted for her act Ben Mills. While everyone clearly understoof this to be nothing nmore than a desperate publicity ploy - as could be said of the whole show, which is clearly as authentic as WWE Wrestling - she's probably ensured her protege is doomed to failure. I mean, why take the risk?
