velvet is a strip club in downtown richmond. if you've ever been to shockoe bottom you probably know velvet by the mural of lady di painted on building beside it, though last i checked someone had painted over it. anywho, velvet is pretty much the worst place ever for a few reasons- the owner, same moore, is a class A piece of shit, for starters. he has plead guilty to contributing to the delinquency of and having sex with (read: raping) a minor. oh yea, he filmed it too. he's also been accused of threatening richmond police. in february of this year, the club lost its liquor liscense for allowing, not surprisingly, underage drinking, among a slew of other allegations. also *fun fact*- Bob McDonnell has just appointed Moore's former defense attorney as the chairman of the ABC board. conflict of interest much?
velvet also has recruiters walk around VCU's campus to find "talent"- i was handed a card in between classes one day. clearly i went to college in hopes that a strip club recruiter would find me on campus! anyway they have a fleet of these trucks with naked women on the side that drive around the city. the worst part is that the "horn" is programmed to sound like a wolf whistling and they have a loud speaker to aid in their frequent acts of street harassment. almost every woman i know that lives in the city has an encounter with one of these vehicles. needless to say, the women of richmond have spoken. these pictures make my heart smile.
pictures by rumors.
