2007 Sao Paulo Reports

[Nrlmus]

Anyone has seen her lately? Does she still work? If yes, how does she look? I used to call her when I hit Sao Paulo but haven't been there for 3 years now. Did her rate come down with age? But at last I'd be going there on Saturday so... anyone has any info on that one of our "almost a porn star"s?

[Hobbying]

Any new info with the closed cafes or more closings?

Have a look at this map maybe. It's based on Google Maps, you need to click on the "scale" on the left side to zoom in to detailed street level.

Not as detailed as Sperto's maps, but you have the basics: Club address, phone number, location on map and link to website (if the club has one). You can also download the GPS coordinates to use with your GPS Navigator.

Great find!

There is a city guide book that I found that has restuarants, hotels etc, but in the back is the adult section w/ ads and a map. Here are the addresses:

....But I am wondering if anyone has seen a graphical directory of mongering in Brazil's largest city. A pdf like Sperto did would be nice. You could print it, fold it and carry it in your back pocket.

I don't go to Sampa, but photos like these may make me change my mind. There's got to be something wrong with these pictures -- like bad performer, bait and switch, muito photoshop or ridiculous price.

I sent you a PM with my cell. Will be going out with some local Brazilian friends Mon. night Dec. 10th to a high end place. If you are still in town you can call me on Monday.

Where is the high end place?

[Raiders]

I am in SP. Can we meet. I do not have PM access. And I can't get it as I am not on a secure network. Perhaps we can meet at a place and time tonight. i am staying in moema.

[Chan Nimal]

Thanks for all the useful info.

I'll be sure to file a trip report during my stay!

Oscar Maroni Filho's pleasure palace is shut down and the construction of a second building halted in connection with airline safety concerns.
By Patrick J. McDonnell, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
December 3, 2007
SAO PAULO, Brazil — The prince of pleasure chafes at what he sees as the utter absurdity of it all.

"A plane crashes into a building, the runway's too short, 199 people die, and who ends up arrested?" he asks. "Me. Oscar Maroni Filho! The owner of an exotic establishment."

Maroni is seated in a quiet corner of his Bahamas Club, at an hour when it's normally packed with patrons bent on fortifying the country's hard-earned reputation for licentiousness, the throbbing music punctuated by the periodic roar of aircraft at nearby Congonhas International Airport.

People come to the Bahamas Club for a different kind of liftoff, and the club provides the booze, entertainment, pole-dancing and upstairs suites to make it happen.

But today there is just a forlorn bartender guarding the rows of Johnny Walker, labels red, blue, black and gold. An outraged Maroni and his disbelieving entourage bemoan the unsightly concrete blocks that seal off the entrance, like padlocks on a speak-easy. They've shut down sin city!

"A scapegoat," Maroni calls himself, sipping his own patented energy drink, a hyper-caffeinated concoction. "Unfortunately, in Brazil people mix sex, politics and flight safety."

Say what?

How exactly did the city's best-known sex peddler -- though Maroni denies running a brothel -- get enmeshed in Brazil's fierce debate about airline safety?

Within days of a July plane crash, Brazil's worst aviation disaster, Maroni's new pleasure palace, an 11-story structure named, naturally, Oscar's Hotel, appeared on an official list of airport-area buildings whose height was deemed excessive, possibly hindering airport approaches and landings.

Sao Paulo Mayor Gilberto Kassab, a conservative who made his name taking on a billboard industry addicted to building-size images of half-naked women, soon made his move. Authorities shut down the Bahamas and moved to halt construction on Oscar's Hotel. Soon, Maroni was in jail.

Kassab is the chief villain in Maroni's rendering of a tale that, in his view, pits his libertarian, larger-than-life persona against a prudish "Mother Superior," as he refers to the city's top elected official.

"I was a convenient target," says Maroni, not long out of a 51-day jail stint, his physical bulk and shaved head placing him somewhere on a continuum between James Carville, Telly Savalas and Mr. Clean. "I was an electoral and political trampoline, for people to jump all over me."

To his critics he is something else: A dissolute smut peddler who puts his seedy business ahead of air safety, a pornographer who is finally getting his comeuppance after years of beating one rap after another, laughing at City Hall. He is a guy who boasts of having slept with more than 2,000 women ("I really fell for no more than 30"), who sponsored the "Miss Escort Girl" contest and once persuaded a 90-plus-year-old former comedienne to pose nude for his Brazilian edition of Penthouse magazine.

So there was little sympathy in July when authorities here moved to shut down the $27-million, 233-room, multi-restaurant hotel just a short jaunt from the Bahamas, connected via tunnel. The hotel was set to open in this month.

"If it were up to me, I'd demolish it tomorrow," Kassab said of Oscar's Hotel, leading a press assault on the nest of lewdness.

The drama has unfolded in the traumatic aftermath of the crash of TAM Airlines Flight 3054, which skidded off a rain-slicked runway and burst into flames after smashing into a cargo building. All 187 people on board and 12 on the ground died.

It was Brazil's worst aviation disaster and the second major Brazilian air crash in a year. Brazilians' confidence in their air-transportation system tanked. Lawmakers scrambled to do something. Maroni appeared in the mayor's cross hairs. No other building was shut down, though numerous other airport-area structures, including two hospitals, also exceed height recommendations.

Why only Maroni's building was targeted remains an unanswered question, though an anonymous pilot cited it in a television interview in the wake of the crash, drawing official attention.

From Maroni's standpoint, Hizzoner was appealing to a prudish undercurrent in the sensual land of the string bikini and the girl from Ipanema.

"The mayor was acting like a peacock," Maroni says, "telling everyone he would demolish my hotel."

Maroni, who exults in his own peacock tendencies, couldn't shut up. In a television interview, he was asked about goings-on at the Bahamas and other clubs in Sao Paulo. It is a mega-city where, as is elsewhere in Brazil, prostitution is rampant but is usually concealed under coded titles such as escort services, "American Bars," saunas and massage parlors.

"Yes, it's luxury prostitution," Maroni responded to the TV interviewer. "Let's not be hypocritical. Let's not be false."

Under Brazilian law, prostitution itself is not illegal, but pimping or otherwise profiting from the world's oldest profession is.

Maroni says he was referring generically to the proliferation of sex-for-cash joints. He insists that the Bahamas is not a bordello but rather a cabaret/club: Clients pay an entry fee, then couples hook up inside, like bar patrons anywhere. He says his margin came from cover charges, drinks and room rates.

"The way I define it is as an entertainment center for adults," Maroni says. "It's just like an American who pays to get into Disneyland. What he does inside Disneyland, the rides he chooses to go on, that's his business."

But prosecutors took his televised comments as an admission that the Bahamas was a house of ill repute, and that Maroni was its chief pimp. He was headed to jail.

"Prison was very sad, depressing, especially for me, because I love freedom so much," Maroni says. "I often remembered the book 'Papillon.' Do you remember that one? And the movie about that American guy who was arrested in Turkey once."

The 56-year-old grandfather got out of jail Oct. 3, but the charges are still pending. He says he will beat the rap, his club will be reopened, and Oscar's will never see the wrecker's ball.

He also offers no apologies for his eccentric, some would say narcissistic, style.

"Being a conformist doesn't help anyone improve," Maroni says. "Pardon my lack of humility, but only incompetent people are proud of their humility."

I hit Clinica Kin a few days ago for the first time. I have a few recommendations written down (Hannah, etc), but wanted to see the complete lineup. I had my sister-in-law along with me, so I got special treatment by going to the other salon.

Pricing went up to 130R for one chica, or two for 180R. Wanted Hannah and Dani, but both had just been taken. That's what I get for looking at the book for so long, I guess. Second pair taken too, but I took Larissa and Thais. Decent service, but nothing mind blowing. MFK with Larissa, deeper with Thais. I prefered the smaller breasted Larissa, but her service wasn't quite up to par. I nutted in about 15 minutes, and the chicas worked hard as hell to get me off again, but it just wasn't happening. I think I told them to stop about 2 minutes before the phone call came.

Decent service overall. Larissa was heavy into the fake moaning, which was annoying. Thais has some nasty scars from a motorbike accident, which I think someone else mentioned. If I had to choose between the two for service, I'd probably go with her, though.

Not quite as good service overall as the first Clinica I visited in Brooklin 2 1/2 years ago, but decent. I might check out one of the other Clinicas when I head back to that area in a week or so.

I'll be heading to Rio tomorrow, so we'll see if anything interesting happens there.

Any updates on a possible reopening?

I went to visit the 3 clinics Identified previously to see if anything or anyone caught my eye. I first went to Clinica Aneesh, I figure I work my way down. At this place (Rua Tavares Bastos 543) they had 3 girls working. None of them woke up brain number two, so I excused myself and kept walking. I got to Clinica Shangrila in 1 minute (Pompeia 1062). There I was greated by a nice old, followed by a nice young lady. They said they were not open. Their website claims that their hours are from 12:00 noon till 10 pm at night. Check it out at their website: http://www.clinicashangrila.com/. Well, it was 12:15past noon, so I must have been erroneous that they open on time. So I wound up right back at Clinica Shori (Pompeia 1022). Here is their website : http://www.clinicashori.com/. Took about 30 seconds to walk there from Shangrila. As I got there, I was greeted by a gentleman, I guess their receptionist (You’ve got to see her, she is plain smoldering hot!) wasn’t there at the time. During the presentation, I saw a woman that looked like a model. No kidding, these are her stats: 5’8½ ” tall, measurements 34B, 23, 36, 26 years old, and weights a ridiculous 105 pounds! Best part, she had a nice bubble butt to go along with such a sculptural frame. Her name was Marcela, a light skinned morena. I chose her because I didn’t remember her name from the previous line up. Up we go to the room and began to undress. What a body! She is all ripped and very shapely, just like an hourglass. Also, her chest is absolutely delicious with pencil shaped nipples. She starts grinding and clawing with that body of hers. After our showers, she started a light massage, CBJ and then, intercourse. After going cowgirl, doggie, sideways, the site of that tight little ass got me off quickly (Inside 30 minutes). No problem; we showered again, same CBJ followed by an amazing reverse cowgirl, doggie, and finished in reverse missionary. The site and feel of that beautiful ass was just a lot to take in. After another shower, I left really happy about the choice I made. Total cost for a massage, sex with a goddess and 2 pops: $100 reals. Didn’t I say this is a great country? Wow!!!
