"The state of the industry is good"—and I say that in my most presidential voice possible, followed by the all too familiar "C’mon man!" Okay, all politicking aside, I’m definitely reaching with "good," but it’s certainly getting a hell of a lot better! At the time of scribbling this, we’re estimated to be back to a fully open Pacific Northwest as we are a wiry pube away from a 70% vaccination rate in both Oregon and Washington. Assuming the statisticians didn’t screw the proverbial pooch as they did on the 2016 election forecasts, you should be reading this while enjoying your Moscow Mule, fully demasked, at 1:57 a.m. Oh, the envy! While you sit distracted, enjoying all your newly reclaimed freedoms, don’t forget to get your ass up and tip for the final stage set of the night. Freedom and power come with responsibilities—make Peter Parker proud!
Fully open in the PNW comes at no better time, as anniversaries are in the air. We’d like to wish both Hawthorne Strip and Cabaret a Happy 15th Anniversary, as well as Stars Cabaret a Happy 26th Anniversary. And not to grandstand, but if you haven’t heard yet, we’re now 28. That’s a combined 84 years of debauchery, which even outdoes your perverted grandpappy. Take that, Geepa! Make sure you check out 28 Years of Exotic on pages 40-43. Lots of memories over the years!
We’d also like to welcome X-Sensual, a new lingerie modeling studio, to the industry! Check out their tantalizing ad on page 6, and I bet you’ll be hot, bothered, and ready for an erotic, private show!
While not yet official until all restrictions are "officially" dropped, let’s say it’s all but official that we will be planning Miss Exotic 2022 for later this year. So you missed industry events, you say? You’re not the only one, Sparky—so did we! We’ll have to track down DJ Dick Hennessy and see if he’s ready to return from his sabbatical in Myanmar. Last I heard, the only way to get him messages was via pigeon or hand-carried on elephant back.
However, time is of the essence. We’ve heard that the reigning Miss Exotic, Axel, is contemplating charging us a service fee for having to store the crown a year longer than agreed upon, so we’d like to get a new goddess crowned and avoid the penalty!
Watch for more announcements about Miss Exotic 2022 in the August issue.
Stay cool out there, folks! And, please be responsible with your new "big kid" bedtime. 2:30 a.m. is the major leagues!
