His other public appearances have dried to a trickle, invariably before audiences and interviewers of proven sympathy. His most recent attempt to resurrect the old Rummy swagger backfired. His wartime Pentagon news conferences were the bureaucratic equivalent of rock concerts. Leading al-Qa’ida operatives were being rounded up monthly and, in Iraq, a modern blitzkrieg had swept away Saddam Hussein’s regime in just four weeks.

Some say these fees, coupled with the growing popularity of private booths, have compelled strippers to turn to prostitution, with encouragement – tacit or direct – from management. They also say the secluded booths provide cover for sexual assaults.Daisy Anarchy, who has formed a union-backed organisation, Sex Workers Organised for Labour, Human and Civil Rights, says many dancers must prostitute themselves to make the $150 (£70) to $500 in fees they have to pay the club owners each shift.”The most vulnerable women end up doing the most for the least amount of money in the most dangerous conditions,” said Ms Anarchy, a former dancer, whose real name is Tracey Buel.Not every stripper agrees with her and some are vehemently opposed to any change in the system.Nancy Banks, a stripper and lap-dancer who says she earns $400,000 a year, has formed a group to counter Ms Anarchy. “Anybody who boo-hoos about, ‘I only brought home so much’ is not exerting themselves,” she said.San Francisco has had a reputation for sexual licence since 1849, when 1,000 prostitutes were shipped in to the city’s Barbary Coast to serve the carnal needs of the mostly male population.The Vietnam-era stripper Carol Doda made her topless debut in San Francisco in 1964.But by the 1990s, Ms Anarchy and seven other women felt things were getting out of hand.

“They come for a one-on-one experience with a beautiful showgirl.”Ms Banks, who pays a fee of $150 per shift to the New Century Theatre, where she works, likens the charge to a barber shop’s fee for the freelance use of a chair. She believes eliminating private rooms would limit the women’s earning potential “We would not be able to make money just with lap dancing That’s not what customers come for,” she said. Before his release on $750,000 bail last year, the actor had spent 11 months in jail. Rosie is being raised by Blake’s older daughter, Delinah.The case continues..
