Portland Strip Clubs: Gresham Blake’s Store Launch
by exoticinportlandAnd Ray has plenty of forthcoming projects â as well as recent film Hugo bagging an Oscar nomination, he is determined that this year will be the one he films The Death of Bunny Munro with Nick Cave and John Hillcoat. ‘Weâre going to make it extreme.

Jaime made a statement with the Courvoisier tie pins that decorated the cocktail glasses, using hers as a hair clip. Steve Coogan meanwhile looked a little less groomed. I asked if his long grey curls, beard and flat cap were some kind of disguise, but he told me they were just accessories for his role as Paul Raymond, the 1970s strip club owner, porn baron and King of Soho. ‘Itâll all be off in 10 weeks,’ he told me with relief. A funny coincidence, as tailor and host Gresham Blake was taught to sew by his mum, who used to make costumes for the strippers at Raymondâs Revue bar.
