PIN UP GIRLS
I have been thinking about pin up girls, and how there was or still maybe is a trend for this pin up movement. A pin-up girl, also known as a pin-up model, is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as popular culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display, e.g. meant to be "pinned-up" on a wall. Pin-up girls may be glamor models, fashion models, and actresses. The pin up link is another thing that I want running through my work, but in using old vintage pin up girls and their photos I want to breathe new life in to them, and abstracting them into something different. All current and old lads mag's or the ones that are called gentleman's magazines feature these pin up style girls, and within the double page spread of my newspaper that is what I want to replicate.

STRIPPER FOR CHRIST - TEDDY FERIS
I was just randomly looking for books on amazon, when I came across Teddy Ferris's book, 'Stripper For Christ - A Hermit Goes to The Gentleman's Club' It is a book designed for the kindle, but using my trusty iPhone I downloaded the short story for the sum of seventy pence, sat outside and read it. It was a pretty short story, about a guy who has never gone to a strip bar or gentleman's club, and his friend takes him, where he meets a stripper called 'Ginger', who he basically falls in love with, however Ginger is a stripper with a difference as she is a christian and follows it quite strictly, she then basically gets his number and seems to really like him too. It wasn't gripping but some of the words he was using for the look of inside the club were interesting, and how the place smelt and looked, and the clientele who were in there, sort of what you'd imagine really. An interesting insight to it.

GENTLEMAN'S CLUB SHORTLIST
With a minor knowledge of strip bars in London (mainly east London) and equipped with the trusty gentlemen's navigator app I went about putting a short list together of gentlemen's clubs around the area. All with the gentleman's club title within them. The list is as follows,
WHITES GENTLEMAN'S CLUB
NAGS HEAD GENTLEMAN'S CLUB
THE WHITE HORSE GENTLEMAN'S CLUB
THE GRIFFIN GENTLEMAN'S CLUB
LE RIFIFI GENTLEMAN'S CLUB
All these are sort of pubs, that have ladies dancing around in them, and all feature the gentleman's club accolade within the name of them. Here is a map that I have done to show where the bars are.
