Austin Escorts In The News!

Hearing “Jolene” sung by six manly men in overalls at a pickin’ party in Maynardville? Is that weird? Of course not, it’s joyful. It’s hellagood. Nothing goes better with aluminum cans embedded in a gravel driveway than fish out of the fryer and “Jolene” on a Gibson.
Some would argue Turkey Creek with its prefab shopping extravaganza is weird. But then, the pay as you go Chinese massage parlor out there is fab-u-lous. The interior is divided by a series of sheets hung on wires to which create “private” rooms. Each room has a table. You go in. You strip. A tiny lady treats your back like a ball of pizza dough. Yes, there is the indignity of things creaking as she asks, “Harder? Harder?” When she is done your hair looks like it was in a blender but you feel amazing. Thirty bucks please.

Val Lauren stars as the title character, who’s trying to make a comeback in Hollywood after hitting it big in the 1950s in “Rebel Without a Cause” and with the later “Exodus.” The movie doesn’t provide much of a backstory, but it’s clear that Mineo has fallen on hard times. He lives in a small apartment in West Hollywood, and he’s getting ready to star in a theater production with Keir Dullea, who apparently was less than a stellar performer. (Dullea couldn’t remember his lines, Mineo complains.)
Mineo also is trying to get a movie made. And it involves a gay male prostitute. One of the opening scenes deals with Mineo’s insistence that the script remain untouched, despite clear indications from his agent that the studio would like to tone down the material. For those who don’t know, Mineo was one of the first actors in Hollywood to acknowledge his homosexuality.

… We feel we will have adequate coverage in that rectangle,” Gay said. “In terms of visibility, the cameras can see from Fourth Street to Eighth Street.”
Police Cmdr. Chris McIlvain , who oversees the downtown patrol officers, called the cameras a “force multiplier” for police.
“With the number of officers downtown, it’s virtually impossible to be where we need to be at all times,” McIlvain said. He said one officer at the crime center can monitor as many as four to eight cameras at a time, which he said is equivalent to having the same number of eyes on the street downtown.
“That’s our main corridor where our visitors and residents come to,” McIlvain said. “The cameras will help us ensure their safety.”
Four cameras were installed near Rundberg Lane in late July to help clean up an area plagued by violent crimes, prostitution and open drug sales.

Mrs. Pickler does not approve of the request for Bob to step aside, so she enters the upcoming butter-carving contest in an attempt to keep the prize in the Pickler family. But there’s a catch. There’s a new kid in town — a young African American foster child named Destiny (Yara Shahidi). And it turns out that Destiny has a knack for carving butter.
As you might imagine, Laura Pickler becomes quite upset when Destiny challenges her for the butter-carving title.
Both Garner and Shahidi shine in their roles, but Shahidi is the revelation. She narrates the movie, and her wry commentary about the strange ways of white people is a hoot.
Olivia Wilde, who had little to do in the recent “Cowboys and Aliens,” has a great supporting role as a stripper who has a past with Bob Pickler.

AUSTIN — The Austin Police Department began installing surveillance cameras in the Entertainment District Thursday.
Inside the Museum of the Weird on 6th Street in downtown Austin, it’s Halloween year round. But owner Steve Busti says his frightening display of other-worldly creatures is no match for what happens just outside the door of his shop.
“We’ve had several cars getting broken into the back; there’s a lot of drugs that go on, prostitution,” Busti said.
Soon, if someone commits a crime in the entertainment district, there is a good probability it will be caught on camera.
On Thursday APD officers began installing 27 surveillance cameras on top of utility poles, buildings, and on traffic lights. The cameras will line 5th, 6th and 7th Streets from Congress to I-35. Officers will monitor the live feeds around the clock from the fourth floor of APD headquarters.

Man charged with attempting to force woman into prostitution
…
A man has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies after police say he tried to force his girlfriend into prostitution during a road trip, an arrest affidavit filed Monday said.
Sharod Austin, 23, is charged with compelling prostitution, as well as assault by strangulation — charges he denies in the affidavit, which lists him as a transient.
…
On a train from Arizona to Texas, Austin told the woman that they needed money and that she would have to prostitute herself, the affidavit said.
…
They arrived in Austin on Oct. 6, the affidavit said. Austin told the woman she would do what he said because “he was God and she had no power,” the affidavit said. Austin then began to compose an ad on Craiglist for prostitution that described her.

Three Anita Perry employers have lobbied or done business with the state government. One is the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault (TAASA), which supports abortion rights, although both Perrys oppose abortion. TAASA also promoted a controversial “pole tax” on strip club patrons. Her fundraising efforts have garnered a substantial number of contributions from her husband’s conservative supporters for the group.
…
In 2007 TAASA successfully revived a languishing proposal to impose a $5-per-customer fee on strip clubs, with the revenue earmarked for sexual-assault prevention programs and health insurance for low-income Texas residents. The fee was challenged in court, but so far has been sustained. The state has already collected more than $15 million under the law, but no funds have been distributed because of the ongoing court battle.
TAASA insists that Anita Perry had no role in this or any other legislative initiative. “She does fundraising. I have never been in any meeting on a policy issue – strip club or otherwise – with Mrs. Perry,” said association lobbyist Lawrence Collins. Others in the state capital echoed that view.

The governor credits her with pushing him into the race for president, and now Anita Perry’s campaign stops in crucial primary states are starting to make headlines. Just recently she described to a South Carolina audience how God spoke to her about persuading her husband to run. Both Perrys are evangelical Christians who have made their faith a centerpiece of the governor’s bid for the White House.
During two decades in Austin, the Texas capital, Anita Perry has taken advantage of the opportunities presented by her husband’s political rise, traveling worldwide to promote the state and enjoying access to Texas’ movers and shakers. The first Texas First Lady in memory to take a paying job, Mrs. Perry left nursing and in Austin took a series of positions intertwined with the policy and politics of state government.

A man has been arrested and charged with multiple felonies after police say he tried to force his girlfriend into prostitution during a road trip, according to an arrest affidavit.
…
As they were traveling from Arizona to Texas by train, Austin told the woman that they needed money and that she would have to prostitute herself, the affidavit said. The woman immediately refused and Austin assaulted her repeatedly, the affidavit said. She tried to call for help but had poor cell phone reception on the train and Austin was monitoring her calls and movements, the affidavit said.
They arrived in Austin on Oct. 6, the affidavit said. On Oct. 12, Austin became “very angry” and told the woman she would have to perform sex acts with “rich guys,” the document said. “(The victim) stated she would rather eat rat poison and die before she did this,” it said. Austin told the woman she would do what he said because “he was God and she had no power,” the affidavit said. Austin then began to compose an ad on Craiglist for prostitution that described her.
