Hmm bet they're gonna move to another location now.

Wonder if any of the RNC had their functions there?

The RNC people seemed to prefer the fake lesbian bondage club, Voyeur.

I don't think most of the location was damaged, I believe the fire was just in the office and the lobby area. It's a huge space. But it was a one-owner operation, and he's dead, so there is nobody to run it.

It's part of the jail cell set.

When my husband and I were first branching out our production company to include adult content, we shot and edited stuff for the guy who was murdered. Know the guy who was arrested, too.

This whole thing is beyond creepy -- that club has been part of the L.A. fetish community for decades, and there's a whole bunch of people who worked there who are now probably in desperate straits because the fire was in the office -- thus, undoubtedly burned up all the financial records and I'm sure there are a lot of people who are owed money, who really need it.

Bunk beds? What do they do with the bunk beds?

there are no bunk beds there. There are tables for people to lay upon to either be tied or disciplined against. But no bunk beds.

The guy in the video said there were bunk beds! You mean...you mean....he might have been lying?

If you can't trust the guy who comes up to the press pool to make unverified comments, who can you trust?
