You can tell that spring is right around the corner (in fact, by the 22nd it will have turned that corner)... the rain's starting to warm up. Of course, it's always humid inside the clubs, so a little rain outside of them ain't no big thang.

Steve and Tony have left the 505 Club and 92nd St. Club and are now booking Doc's, Sassy's, and Dooley's now, so look for them there (and look for their signature babe line-up as well). They've brought Double Trouble and Menage Trio to Doc's, too... so you'll want to drop by on Tuesdays and Fridays for sure.

CJ's has a special treat for those of us who like our women warm and wet, another Hollywood Knockouts Hot Oil Wrestling night. If you've never experienced the madness of hot oil wrestling you really owe it to yourself to check these ladies out on Wednesday, March 12th. The action starts at 9 pm and be prepared to be more than just a spectator.

But wait! There's more! All you messy fetishists get a second chance to see women rolling around in oil. Club 122 is proudly presenting hot oil wrestling on Thursday the 13th and promises something extra special: the whipping cream battle royale. Aren't "girl" sports fun?

If you're looking for something a little more refined (More refined than hot oil wrestling? What the hell could that be?), mark your calendar with a big red star on Sunday the 16th. The Magic Garden is having a Cocktail Party with Lounge Dancing. From 6 pm until 2 am you'll have your chance to show your favorite club girlie your fancy footwork, gents. Remember... don't be light on your feet but heavy on hers.

All you party animals should tie a green ribbon around your... well, whatever will remind you to show up at the Night Owl on the 15th for their Spring Fling party.

If you liked the February Cabaret Night at Union Jacks then you'll be happy to know that they're doing it again this month. On March 20th your five dollar cover charge will buy you a sexy variety show from 7 pm until 2 am. Make sure and check out the brand new, second stage while you're there.

One good return deserves another and George's Dancin' Bare is bringing back Sensuous Xplosions on Saturday, March 29th. You can sit in the blast zone from 9 pm until midnight.

You've got two nights to choose from for meeting covergirl, centerfold, model and XXX movie star, Anna Romeo at Eugene's Silver Dollar Club: Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th. Don't forget to look up (and up and up) America's Tallest Showgirl, Roxy Leroux who will be shaking her groove thing from Wednesday the 19th through Saturday the 22nd.

Club 122 presents Hustler cover/centerfold, XXX video star and Penthouse model, Anna Romeo for two days, Wednesday and Thursday, March 5th and 6th. If you miss her here, you can still catch her at Salem's Main Event, Friday and Saturday, March 7th and 8th. Same thing with April 1997 Penthouse Pet of the Year, Heather Kelly. She'll be knocking both your eyes out at the Main Event Monday through Wednesday, the 17th through the 19th and then at Club 122, Thursday through Saturday, March 20th through the 22nd.

Beaverton's Stars Cabaret will be featuring the lovely and talented (boy, you've never heard a woman introduced that way, have you?) Nikki Tyler from Wednesday, March 26th through Saturday the 29th. Remember kids, you'll have four chances a night to catch a good look at Adult Video News' 1996 adult film star, Penthouse Pet, and star of Bobby Sox, voted Adult Film of the Year by AVN.

Speaking of videos, if you've been holding off on that hot porn purchase there's no reason to restrain yourself any more. RC's is having a "Super Clearance Sale" this month and any video rental will nab you two days for the price of one.

If you're ready for something more intimate than the club scene and without a return policy, keep Sugar Daddys in mind. Their March specials are one-girl shows for $44 or two girls for $65.

The other sweet shop, Sugars Lingerie, has new hours, so make a note of them: 10 am until 1 am.

If you're on the west side, swing by Baby Dolls, Beaver-town's hottest new lingerie shop. You can take in a show at 8888 SW Canyon, #104 (in the Canyon Center Building) for $49 any time between 10:30 am and 12:30 am.

We're all freaking about taxes this time of year, so it's nice to know that Scarlett Ribbons is helping us save a little cash this month. Just ask for the March special and you'll get five dollars off any one-girl session or $10 off any two-girl performance. And you'll want to remind your favorite IRS agent that the Scarlett Ribbons' dungeon room is available.

I want to welcome Black Hole Body Piercing to the pages of Exotic. Tracy Foraca is a really cool piercing specialist and if you get the urge to get poked this March, she'll sell you an 18, 16, or 14 gauge steel piece of body jewelry for only $10. Feel motivated to get sanctified and holey now?

On a related note, Deacon X and Bad Attitude are trying something kinky with Fetish Night this month: Friday the 28th at the Mercury Room in the eclectic industrial area of SE 3rd and Pine. My red and black bustier was such a hit in February that I'm going to have to follow it up with my black one. You won't want to miss that.

Lastly, for you dancers: don't miss the tax seminar at It's My Pleasure on March 3rd from 6 - 8pm.

Well, that's it from the Exotic Playground for this month. So, see ya in 31.
