Information On Kansas City Escorts.

According to the probable cause statement, a Kansas City detective went undercover and talked to the two last month about working for their service.
The detective said Thongkham told her employees of Candy Entertainment were required to sign contracts stating the company does not promote prostitution but added the girls make a lot of money prostituting.
Two days after the initial discussion, the undercover officer met in person with the two and was told how money exchanged hands. She also was told the couple expected 10 percent of any money she made providing “extras” to clients.
The officer said Baker texted her Aug. 17 and asked about her breasts, favorite sexual position and whether she would give him a free trial.
An officer with the police department’s vice section made an appointment with Candy Entertainment last week, then arrested a woman who showed up and offered to perform a nude strip tease.

Strip Law Takes Effect in Missouri
     KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CN) – A Missouri appeals court refused to block a law that imposes tougher regulations on the state’s adult-oriented businesses. As of Aug. 28, strip clubs and adult video stores must close at midnight and full nudity and video-viewing booths are not allowed behind closed doors.
     The Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals denied adult businesses’ request to block enforcement of the law. A Cole County Circuit judge denied the same request on Aug. 27.
     The law will remain in effect while the adult business group continues to challenge it in Cole County Circuit Court.

Yes, your local strip club is open, and it needs you now more than ever
It’s finally happened. We’ve finally reached the point where paying for a lap dance is actually a meaningful, necessary form of political protest. Even if you don’t love strip clubs, if you love First Amendment rights you better engage in some nonviolent resistance this weekend.
…
Kansas City strip clubs are still operating, except all the dancers have to dress in a very specific manner to avoid breaking the law – which means an outfit that would be fine at the Jones pool is now criminal if you’re wearing it on a stage with a silver pole. It’s also probably created a lot of upset cops, embarrassed that they’re spending valuable time measuring the location of a woman’s areola – but that’s just assumption on my part.

by epkklk851 (5 hours and 29 minutes ago) 3   I do remember the M rating. “Rated M for mature audiences…” I don’t think I have ever seen “Barbarella” all the way through, it was just so bad! When it comes to sex-kitten roles, my husband and I both liked Mrs. Peel on the TV version of “The Avengers”. I wanted to be like her and well, he was a teenage boy. Reply Report Abuse
by nerzog (5 hours and 21 minutes ago) 3   I remember that, as well. The Avengers was one of my Father’s favorite shows, and I figured out why as I got older. Barbarella was a terrible movie, but the opening weightless striptease was worth the price of admission… or at least I thought so then. Reply Report Abuse
I’m not sure I’ve seen that part of the movie. If you want to see a strip tease, I recommend “Smile” from 1975. Annette O’Toole is demonstrating her “talent” in a teen beauty contest. And Melanie Griffith gets caught topless in the locker room. It’s a small film, but so funny.

Jacques A. Baker, 23, of Independence, was charged with third-degree promoting prostitution, a felony.

Authorities on Wednesday accused a detention officer for the Kansas City Police Department of running a prostitution ring out of his Independence home.

Jackson County prosecutors charged Jacques A. Baker, 23, with felony promoting prostitution.

They charged a woman who lived with him, Samantha Thongkham, 28, with the same felony.

Both were booked into the Independence jail after their arrests Tuesday at their home in the 3100 block of Bryn Mawr Road.

Baker worked for two years in the Kansas City jail at police headquarters at 1125 Locust St., police said. He was suspended without pay Wednesday.

Baker is supposed to live in Kansas City as required by the department’s residency rules, but he apparently was violating the policy, police said.

Independence police first encountered Baker in May when they went to his home on a 911 hang-up call. The phone was registered as “KC Candy Girls,” and a woman at the home said it was the …
