THE P-TOWN HAPS

As winter approaches, it's my duty to inform you that there are around 60 days left of 2025. This is of paramount importance, because I know some of you will make those useless New Year's resolutions that will do nothing more than interrupt your alcohol consumption and strip club attendance…and for what? Just to relapse sometime in late January or early February? I won't try to reason with you because I know the resolutions will get made regardless, so instead, I'll just remind you that you have under two months to tear it up like never before. So without further ado, let's focus on building that itinerary for you. Thank me later!

Anyone who regularly reads this column will know we start it off right, with birthdays! First up, on Saturday, November 1, it's Dick Hennessy's 46th Birthday Party at AJ's Gentlemen's Club. This will be a double whammy to your future sobriety plans, because it's also Miss Exotic Oregon 2026 Qualifier Round 5 that night. If you're still standing the next week, head to Desire on Friday, November 7, for Amora's Birthday Bash. Then, on Saturday, November 22, it’s Vera's Birthday Celebration at Flesh and Bones Lounge. Happy Birthday from all of us at Exotic, Dick and ladies (holy shit, that has a nice ring!)

And now, it's on to other industry happenings! Who likes boobs and baked goods, and in that order? Umm, yes, please! It's the 7th Annual Stripper Bake-Off at Lucky Devil Lounge on Thursday, November 20. What's more, it benefits the Portland Rescue Mission, so we expect you all to attend!

Lastly, we have a few Thanksgiving dinners for you, with all the fixin’s—both on Thanksgiving proper! Head over to AJ's Gentlemen's Club on Thursday, November 27, for their $5 Thanksgiving dinner, or to Stars Cabaret in Salem for a free Thanksgiving dinner with paid admission! (Pro tip: visit both clubs and eat the best dinner of the year, twice.)

MISS EXOTIC 2026

Three rounds down in the pageant, and we've already seen some incredible performances! If you haven't made it to one of the qualifier rounds so far, you're definitely missing some fantastic performances and memorable industry moments!
