The Year in Review
We made it to the end of another year, by the
skin of our dildos, and brother, what a ride. Vera Katz and
company had a witch hunt brewing in the form of a nude modeling
ordinance, ruled unconstitutional last February. Of course,
it took about 30 K, rounded up by the Portland Privacy Alliance,
to fight City Hall. So, please remember, when you're making
out your naughty and nice lists, who loves you, baby. Exotic
interviewed everyone from "Out On a Ledge" green protester,
Tre Arrow, to the Hedgehog, Ron Jeremy and uncovered AVN's
Best Actress, Chloe, in between. We went backstage at the Grammys,
under the tents at the Rockfest and inside the conspiracy addled
brain of Dr. Len Horowitz, all for you. Rex got rexer, Viva
rocked and Redden reamed the Corporate powers that be, until
he got a day job. And last month the electorate kicked out the
latest, and hopefully last, challenge to our first amendment
by voting down measure 87. 52% of Oregon's voters said 'leave
our constitution alone,' a whopping margin by today's recount
standards. This month we hopped on the tour bus with the Orb's
Alex Patterson, bringing you a rare interview with the King
of Electronica and opened our pages to a convicted writer, Jim
Goad, all in the natural course of things, because we care just
as much about feeding your head as we do about fueling your
libido. The brain is still, after all, the biggest sex organ.
Or, free you mind and your ass will follow. As we embark on
the bona fide beginning of the next thousand years, Exotic
would like to remind you to think, it ain't illegal yet!
And have a happy fucking new millennium. (This intro
is already placed in docs)
Strip Club News
After a rousing victory over Measure
87 last month, Pornland celebrated the protection of our rights
by opening two new strip clubs in our fair city (there always
seems to be room for more!). First off, there's Soobie's
Bar & Grill--a new exotic hot spot located on SE 122nd
near Stark. This warm and cozy den of decadence offers 2 stages,
kickin' sound, absolutely outstanding bento and teriyaki cuisine,
and, of course, super entertainers provided by the Big Dog agency.
So stop by and pay a visit to Hong and his crew and tell him
Exotic sent you. Be on the lookout for special events
at Soobie's next month when The Exotic Big Dog Covergirl
Contest kicks off in late January.
Also nakedly opened last month
was Brandi's. Located in the Hollywood district at 37th
and Sandy, you can find all the basic essentials already in
place: full bar, lottery and hot babes from Heartbreakers. Check
it out!
A big welcome back to Stars
Cabaret from the gang here at Exotic, hopefully to
stay this time. You'll be seeing a lot more of Stars in our
pages. Hell, they have so much going on that we decided to give
them their own calendar of events ( see pg. 17). Stay tuned
for big things happening in 2001 when Exotic and Stars
join forces for some stellar promotions.
Roosters is doing their part
for the holidays by hosting a breakfast on Dec. 2nd at 8 am
to celebrate ABATE's 21st Anniversary Toy Run--a benefit for
the children of Shriner's Hospital. They'll be serving up biscuits
and gravy for a buck and a half, with a side order of hot naked
chicks. Sounds like a great way to start the day! Also, coming
from Roosters this month, live music. Give 'em a call for dates
and details.
The battle rages on at Jody's
Bar and Grill this month as the Exotic Covergirl
Contest continues. This month kicks off with contest four of
eight rounds to determine our finalists. With $300 in weekly
cash prizes and the cover of Exotic magazine's February
issue at stake, you can expect the competition to start getting
fierce. So stop by every Thursday night to watch the fur fly!!!
Union Jacks is trying an
exotic theme of a different nature this month...on their menu.
That's right, you can now sink your teeth into exotic burgers
served with fries for only five bucks, such as buffalo, kangaroo,
venison, ostrich and alligator. Fuck McDonald's; when you throw
in one of their scintillating table dances, this is the best
happy meal going. UJ's is also planning a big New Year's Eve
bash this year.
George's Dancin Bare is pulling
out all the stops this month with their big 10 Year Anniversary
party on Saturday, Dec. 16th. It's gonna' be a wild one with
special drinks, body shots, half-off table
dances, prizes, feature dancers from the past 10 years and the
best of the amateurs. Happy Anniversary George...we'll see you
there!!!
Look for "The Houston 500" at
Wildcats this month on Dec. 16th. Guinness has been
notified as this bad kitty attempts to set an unbreakable
record for most table dance performances in one day...and
yes, she's going for 500 of them. If you want to be a part
of this event, just sign up in advance for only $10 a dance.
This will be Houston's farewell to the Rose City as well as
your last chance to enjoy a private dance with this lovely
lady, so why not be a part of Guinness History?
The Boom Boom Room will
be hosting the first annual Nicest Ass In Portland Contest
on Tuesday, December 12th. With $500 cash at stake and an
open contest, we're pretty sure there's gonna be some fine
booty shakin' over on Barbur Boulevard.
Club 205 will be having
another of their famous "Exotic Covergirl Dance Contests"
on Wednesday, December 20th, featuring eight former Exotic
covergirls.
The Main Event in Salem
is having a big Christmas Party on Friday, Dec. 22nd, and
$15 Private Dances all month long.
Adult Store
News
With the defeat of Measure 87,
the number of Adult Stores in Portland has swelled slightly
as well. Imagine that! It's almost as if they were waiting
in the wings to witness the outcome or something.
First on that list would be Taboo
Adult Video. You can find this new superstore on 237 SE
MLK Blvd. for all your "adult needs." The Grand Opening for
the new store lasts all month long. Specials include buy one
movie, get one free, and a huge $1 adult comic sale.
Second, out in Aloha, the apparent
failure of Epic Furnishings to fully secure their lease cleared
the way for Mr. Peep's Adult Superstore to open their
doors on December 5th. A full-on grand opening is scheduled
for January.
Fantasy For Adults is having their
Hot Holiday Video & Toy Sale this December at all five
locations. Spartacus and Frolics both have
sales on sizzling hot xmas items. Sweet Sensations
is having their annual Super-Xmas Sale all month long. Cathie's
is always a great place on the eastside to procure a
precious present for him or her. Castle Superstore
has a 25% off sale (with any rental of video or DVD), and
a 10% off all lingerie sale. Fantasyland has a sale
on videos starting at $9.95. And Paradise Video now
has DVD's and tobacco paraphernalia... All together it sounds
like there's gonna be a whole lot of Xmas cheer under the
tree this year...
Internet News
Portland's first local, live,
interactive videosex chatline, SexxxyChat, is rolling along
nicely. Exotic has teamed up with SexxxyChat, putting

years worth of complete online Exotic magazine archives)

Ink-n-Pink News
Ink - N - Pink 2000 wrapped up last
month with a huge finale on Halloween. 
We
had intended on bringing you the wrap-up in this months issue,
but, due to circumstances beyond our control, it's gonna'
have to wait until our January issue. The biggest news is
the fact that Miss Ink-N-Pink's outcome was so damn close
that, unlike Florida, a draw was declared. For those of you
who were there, you know what happened; the rest of you will
have to wait until next month. Happy New Year!
Jody's-Exotic
Contest Growing
The Thursday
night Jody's-Exotic Covergirl Contests are getting bigger
and bigger each week. The closer it gets to the final showdown
in January, the better the show is gonna get. Make sure you
head out early on Thursday nights, and be prepared to stay
late as some of Portland's finest dancers compete for nightly
cash prizes and the coveted February 2001 Exotic cover.
