Time to get wet, Portland. Winter is just around the corner, and soon the rain will be washing your asses off the streets in search of shelter. Thank God the Rose City has such comfortable digs in which to dry off. Who needs sunshine when you can have so much more fun beneath the black lights of your favorite Strip Club as you enjoy a table dance from the girl of your wet dreams? So let’s see what we have in store for you this month. At Aces High, Nigel Jourdain’s “Hot in the City” Model Search is going down on Saturday, Nov. 18th from 4pm-9pm. Wannabe male and female models (no experience required) should come dressed to the nines and be ready to get your sexy asses in front of the camera. Models for all types of media are being sought, and there will be many photographers onsite. Come enjoy the music and a catered feast while trying to make your mark on the world of the Supermodel. Thanks to Bliss and all the sponsors of the 2006 Burlesque Entertainer of the Year. The contest provided pure entertainment for a packed house, proving once again that Portland has some of the best performers around, not just your average strippers. Capturing the title was Germany of Devil’s Point with her astounding “Fire Goddess” show. While the entire competition was closely contested, second and third place were particularly close with Ainé (also of the Acropolis) narrowly edging out “Miss Nude Oregon 2005” Athena’s vintage burlesque show with an amazingly acrobatic performance reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil, which left the audience captivated. This month, The Dolphin clubs will proudly be presenting “Bedtime Stories Extraordinaire,” featuring boudoir theme shows every Thursday night. And don’t miss out on a free turkey dinner from 6pm-9pm on Thanksgiving. Celebrate Thanksgiving weekend Cabaret-style at both Cabaret locations where you can kick it off with free admission on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, Nov. 23rd. The Dancin’ Bare will be hosting an “All Girl Dance Revue” on Saturday, Nov. 18th @ 8pm, boasting a hefty prize of s $500 for the best performance. Be sure to stop by DV8 for Blaze’s Birthday Bash on Saturday, Nov. 18th @ 9pm where you can try your luck at guessing her age and enter to win $100. (Hmmm, I still have a copy of her driver’s license on that model release…are Exotic employees eligible?) Exotica wants you to know that they will be open @ 4pm on Thanksgiving Day. If pumpkin pie isn’t your thing, perhaps you’d rather enjoy their lovely ladies for dessert instead. Jody’s is dialed in with the NFL Sunday Ticket on Sundays and Exotic Covergirl Rachel on Monday’s for Crazy Larry’s Monday Night Football, plus a free Thanksgiving buffet on Thursday, Nov. 23rd. Saving up for the holidays? Well, how about stopping by The Pallas, where all well drinks are $2.50 all day, every day? On the Southeast side, stop by Soobie’s, where every Sunday is Dancer’s Industry Night, with manager’s specials for all dancers. Meanwhile at the all-new Sin Club, check out the “Seven Deadly Sins” every day of the week, with lots of specials for the ladies and a brand-new dance floor (open until 6am on Friday and Saturday). Stars Beaverton is gonna show you how hot it can be to be so cold at their “Sub Zero—The Party” on Saturday, Nov. 18th, featuring a one-ton ice-carved martini bar and shot luge, snowball fights, plus chilling competitions with prize giveaways and thirty of the hottest snow bunnies you’ll ever see! Congratulations to Malice of Sassy’s, Devil’s Point, and Union Jacks for scoring the coveted “Barfly’s Sexiest Stripper of the Year” award. Kudos also to runners-up Kat from Mary’s Club, Stormy of Devil’s Point, and Viva Las Vegas of Mary’s Club. Word on the street is that Bliss is now under new management and will be undergoing a big $$$ remodel to become Myst. This will not be a strip club, but rather an upscale entertainment experience offering fine dining and a new-age, Las Vegas-style burlesque show. Think you can prove you’re entertainers, ladies? Features here are paid for their performances, not tips only! Be sure to keep an eye out for Exotic events at Myst in upcoming months. One of our all-new columns starting this month, “In Search of El Diablo,” is just one of the many things to explode from the mind of Star’s Salem’s Rod Black. Next up from the promotional mastermind is “Mr. Black Presents: The Capitol City Cage Fights” on Saturday, Nov. 4th @ Salem Armory, The Triple Bill Concert Series on Wednesday, Nov. 15th-Friday Nov. 17th @ Stars Salem and the Super Battle of the Bands and Babes on Wednesday, Nov. 15th @ Rock N Roll Pizza. Start shopping now for the holidays and give the gift of porn, where at any of the “Adult Shops” locations you can get yourself a free DVD with the purchase of $50 gift card.
