Last month in this column, Exotic employees voted for their top five favorite strip clubs. We used as criteria places we like to hang out and relax, and certain of us had to be reminded over and over again that "favorite" wasn't based on the size of the ad account. Well, we were WRONG! It IS based on the size of the ad account! Turns out we pissed off almost every hotshot strip club in town. They threw out our racks, told us to fuck off and insulted the charming little dives we are so fond of.

I am still shocked (and sorta pleased) to find out that anyone reads this fishwrapper at all. However I wouldn't put it past our competition to cut and paste and blow out of proportion this silly little office poll, taking a billboard into the Dolphin yelling "Exotic picked THEIR OWN CLUB as number one!!" So what? If ya'll had your acts together and owned not either a strip club OR a smut magazine but BOTH, you would vote for yourself, too!

Actually, we at Exotic had nothing to do with last month's poll. Some devious strippers known as The Covergirl Club ran that as a PAID AD as a gift to Frank for his birthday. What a bunch of dummies! Everyone knows that (this month) the best strip clubs in this town--no, in this WORLD--are:

#1. Stars Cabaret

#1. The Dolphin I & II

#1. Jody's

#1. Union Jacks Club

and of course,
