Summer in Portland. You gotta love it. Being schooled in the art of flesh as we all are in this town, it’s really nice to see the sun come out, (be it ever so brief) and watch all the clothes start coming off. Portland always amused me in this way. On that first day where the temperature kicks up and the solar rays are blazing, it seems like everyone in this town immediately decides to bust out the flip flops, the shorts, the bikini, whatever, just as long as it shows 80% of what God gave ya. And this isn’t just because you’re going to the beach; living in Portland, you need to take advantage of the heat while ya got it. So from the MILFs shopping at Fred Meyer to that secretary having a latte at Starbucks, for a short time, they have one thing in common with your favorite exotic dancer—it’s all about the skin, baby. So eat it up, Portland—enjoy the summer while it lasts. And just to make sure your summer nights are hot and sticky, all of our finest sex-crazed establishments are, of course, pulling out all the stops to make sure your summer nights are hot and sticky.

Jody’s Bar and Grill embraces the dark side with their Devil’s Night 6-6-6 on Friday, June 6th. No, they won’t be sacrificing dancers to the Dark One, but they will feature heavy metal all night long. Now wait a minute—does metal HAVE to be associated with the Devil? I heard from a reliable source that Satan is responsible for the music of Alanis Morrisette and Milli Vanilli, but the closest thing to metal he had a hand in was Limp Bizkit. So anywayze, get to Jody’s and bang your heads all night long as you await the coming of the Antichrist. And if you prefer to spend the most evil of all nights further South, head on down to Stars Salem for their “Hell Night 6-6-6 Party” with live music by Debris and Kandles At Nine. What else is there to do after a night of good metal, you might ask? Stars Salem has the answer! Try the Slayer After Party @ 10pm on Thursday, June 15th, and The Rob Zombie After Party Friday, August 4th @ 10pm. Coming next month, AVN Newcomer of the Year Carmen Luvana will be celebrating 10 Years of Stars on Saturday, July 22nd, with a 50’s Cruise In V.I.P. event. Check out next month’s issue for all the goods on that one.

That’s it for me this month—no mud slinging, no bullshit. Or wait, maybe just one thing. In a past episode of Erotic City, I consoled a former Exotic contributor for whom I regretted there was no longer any competition that would employ our castaways, but I stand corrected. So, Christopher, I dedicate this to you, the “original castaway.” We all hope you’re happy together.
