The Exotic empire is now extending its long, thick, veiny tentacles into the world of broadcast radio! Shadowy Exotic background figure Jim Goad, he of ANSWER Me! / Redneck Manifesto / felony conviction notoriety, now hosts a weekly radio show called Let's Fight! with Jim Goad. The show, sponsored by Exotic, airs every Saturday from 11am to 12 noon on KGUY 1010 AM. Goad describes himself as "The sweetest man alive...the world's most misunderstood comedian...the man with the nicest ass in all of radio." Willamette Week called Jim "Portland's Scariest Angry White Male." PDXS voted him "Butthead of the Year." The Oregonian dubbed him a "Promoter of Violence." Love him or hate him, he'd like to fight with you; call him on the air every Saturday morning at 503-235-1010.

That's right boys and girls, contest fever is back again, and yet another cover of Exotic magazine is at stake. This time at the Dream On Saloon and the Pallas Club. The final four contests take place every Thursday this month, alternating between the two clubs, with two finalists from each round proceeding to the big finale at The Pallas in June. Trust us, after witnessing round one (see pg. 10) these girls (courtesy of the Heartbreakers agency) know how to put on a competition. Round one brought us three winners last month...Kudos to Darien, Jasmine and the very messy, very sticky Sugar (as seen on the Jenny Jones Show). Remember guys, these contests are judged by audience response, which means...you get to pick the covergirl!

City Limits Showgirls is enhancing their calendar this month with Wicked Wednesday Feature Nights. With a different theme each week, including wet & wild T-shirts, costumed theme nights and more, you'll definitely wanna take the time away from your busy schedules and rise to the occasion. And if that doesn't get you motivated, we're sure their $10 table dances will.

Just in case you all actually read this rag, you may have noticed an ad or two from our friends at Portland Exotic Dancers.com. And you still might be wondering what the hell they're about. Allow us to fill you in with 3 simple words you can all understand...FREE NAKED CHICKS. Log on to their site at www.portlandexoticdancers.com, sign up for free and check this shit out. With over 20 dancers at press time and plenty more coming to get your drive hard, this site is rapidly becoming the best looking local exotic dancer page to hit the web. (Next to www.xmag.com of course!) Their site includes photo galleries, schedules, and online stores where you can buy your favorite dancer's panties with one click of your sticky little mouse. They even have a monthly contest, like last month when we hitched up one lucky stiff with Kitty (Miss Nude-Not-Allowed-To-Say) and Destiny (Miss Nude Oregon 1998-99) for a night of limo ridin' and club hoppin'. Thanks to PED's posse for an evening we forgot before it even ended. Thank God the pictures reminded us what our booze-addled memories left out. It appears we had a great time. Be on the lookout for a big event coming to you in June from PED and Viacreme (The new, topically applied female version of Viagra).

Not only are we welcoming Bad Attitude back to our pages this month, we're hailing them as a neighbor as well. Celebrate Cinco De Mayo by stopping by their new downtown location just next to Berbati's and just across the way from Dante's. Tushelle and Joffrey are vamping up their new location and stocking it to the max with the finest selection of dancewear, accessories, shoes and boots (including Doc Martens), PVC, latex and all that good shit you just can't live without. Thank god!!! There's nothing worse that doing a photo shoot with a girl who forgot to bring her platform heels; but now the solution is just across the street. Take our advice and check them out!!!

Top of the props this month goes to Private Pleasures and Secret Rendezvous. We can all thank Ann and her outstanding taste in women for bringing us this month's covergirl... GreenLee. Aside from appearing regularly at Private's and Secret's, GreenLee will be touring the clubs this month and baring it all at Sassy's, Club 205, Jody's and finishing up at Dante's. But remember, for the most intimate one-on-one experience, check this beauty out where she started out. And don't miss the opening of the Bikini Car Wash season at Secret Rendezvous on Sunday, May 6th. Come on guys, how often do you get the chance to have a half naked Exotic Covergirl buffing up that sorry excuse for a ride you've been driving? Well, here's your chance!

And welcome to three new advertisers-in-one this month: Sheer Sensations, Exclusive Cuts & Tans and Intimate Obsessions. With the lovely ladies these shops have to offer in their 3 convenient locations, there's just no decent excuse to not pay them a visit. Welcome aboard, John.

There will be big news at Babydolls and HoneySuckles next month. Look for the scoop here next month on the exciting changes happening out Beaverton way.
