  • Reflections on Breast Implants and Explantation Linda Huang, M.D
    Reflections on Breast Implants and Explantation Linda Huang, M.D. It is hard to know where to begin about breast implants. I started medical school out in California at Stanford. The school was built on an old dairy farm full of rolling green hills dotted with live oaks and streets lined with palm trees, but behind this bucolic setting was a vibrant plastic surgery department. There were all sorts of new and exciting developments in plastic surgery in the 1970s. Stanford’s surgeons were busy, busy, busy. They were among the first to use an operating microscope to reattach fingers that had been severed, and later to cut off a toe and move it up to the hand to fashion a thumb. And they were among the first to work on transgender reorientation surgery, where they were also cutting off parts to repurpose them! Bell bottoms, free love and hippies of the sixties in San Francisco had also given way to a more troubled side. Before we knew about AIDs, we saw young men with strange, heretofore rare symptoms, now popping up on many young men: purple skin lesions called Kaposis Sarcoma. The AIDS virus was discovered as the cause for these strange purple spots in 1982. And we saw the first topless strip club. The Condor Club featured Carol Doda, who went from her modest 34Ds to her infamous twin peak 44 triple Ds. She achieved this dubious triumph through the miracle of silicone injections. And the advertisement went something like, “See her get bigger before your eyes.” And she truly did get bustier through monthly injections of silicone directly into her breasts.

    CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 14, 2019 BAY VIEW BOAT CLUB Application No.: LBR-2018-19-015 Business Name: Bay View Boat Club Business Address: 489 Terry A. Francois Blvd. District: District 6 Applicant: Cynthia Hall, Member, Board of Directors Nomination Date: October 16, 2018 Nominated By: Supervisor Aaron Peskin Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Bay View Boat Club (“BVBC”) is a recreational boating club incorporated in 1963; however, its first meeting was recorded at the Allemand Brothers shipyards at Hunters Point on April 17, 1961. The club is the result of the socializing that occurred around Joe Boesl’s boat repair shop and tavern beginning in the late 1930s. As the years passed, the concept for what is now the Bay View Boat Club emerged. The club is dedicated to promoting recreational boating for everyone, with a particular emphasis on bringing boating to the underserved neighborhood and resident. When Joe Boesl died in 1957, the properties came under the ownership of Hoagy Holmes, who became the first club commodore. In 1962, Mr. Holmes gave or sold the house to the Bay View Boat Club. In the mid- 1960s, the land where the two buildings stood was sold. The Allemand Brothers' office and lunch bar was moved 75 yards north. Spearheaded by Claire Nabonne and at the urging of the then commodore, Dave Del Carlo, a new site was found on the south bank of the public ramp off Pier 54.

SEXUAL ALIENATION AND THE CASH NEXUS: THE WORLD OF A TOPLESS DANCER An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Sociology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology by Clare C. Giesen December, 197^ ABSTRACT This thesis is based on three and one half years of participant observation research conducted while employed as a topless dancer at Rembrandt’s Paint Factory in Houston, Texas. A descriptive study is given of topless clubs, topless dancers, and customers who frequent topless clubs. Further, an analysis is made of Sexual Alienation and the Cash Mexus that exists within the club. This manifests itself through mutual exploitation between the customers and the topless dancers. This alienation is found within the social and economic structure of the overall society. TABLE OF CONTENTS Page I INTRODUCTION ............. 1 A.
