The official name is Gentlemen’s Club Owners Expo but we all refer to it as “the Expo”. Xcitement has been there every year since it’s inception, so it’s a summer tradition to us. This year the Expo was subtitled “Year of the GM.” Exotic Dancer saluted the general managers who tend to all the details of keeping the clubs running day in and day out. More often than not what separates a highly popular, successful club from the ordinary is the general manager. This year one of our own won the inaugural award for the south east, but we get ahead of ourselves….

Opening day this year just happened to be the day Xcitement went to press, so I missed out. Workshops for General Managers were the menu of the day. I heard it was a great welcome party at Rumjungle that night. Platypus from Tootsie’s had his camera, took lots of pics and he graciously gave Xcitement a disc with all his photos for us to use. That’s Ronnie Mund, Howard Stern’s limo driver stealing the spotlight. We’d see lots more of him at the Awards Show.

There was a choice of taking a late afternoon flight and arriving in Las Vegas Monday night or taking an early flight out in the morning. Two years ago I flew in on opening day and as fate had it, learned a lesson from the airlines. My 9:00am flight got delayed departing Fort Lauderdale due to a severe thunderstorm, we were three hours late in leaving, then missed a connection in Atlanta and by the time I arrived in Las Vegas, the trade show was winding up for the day. This year I took the 5:30am to make sure I would arrive on time. Continental hit me up for $25 for my box of Xcitement’s, now I here they’re even charging for the first piece of checked baggage. We always run into old friends and familiar faces, this year was no exception. Storm from Scarlet’s Cabaret was on the flight and we had breakfast together in Houston as we changed planes. It was a great day for flying and all flight and baggage arrived on time. The flight descended over the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead, a spectacular view.

The cab driver decided to take me on a joy ride instead of the direct route on Paradise and Tropical to get from the airport to Mandalay Bay. He took me all the way around, making a big “S” on the interstate and coming in from behind the hotel. When I started to bitch he turned the meter off, but he still was ripping me off. I phoned his cab number in to the taxi authorities as he dropped me off.

Mandalay Bay was highly efficient, a prompt freindly check in and they gave me a room at 10:30, hours before the official check in time. Already it was too late for the Legal Panel, one of the most important and also interest events of the Expo. I’m always fascinated by the first amendment lawyers retelling their battles with local and state governments. I unpacked and cleaned up as fast as possible, ate a quick lunch and headed down to the convention center to pick up my badges. There I met Rod Kimbrough from the Cheetah Palm Beach who had just received the Award for GM of the Year, South East region. Rod certainly is deserving, as anyone who has worked for or with him will tell you. He does have the distinction of being the only GM Cheetah Palm Beach ever had, you could say he built the club! The Trade Show was already open, Exotic Dancer had moved the hours up from last year so it caught me by surprise. It was a shock for people to see me without my camera. After making a walk around, and consuming a couple of energy drinks, I made the long long trek up to my room, got my camera and a bag full of Xcitements and returned to the convention floor.

The trade show combined the Gentlemen’s Club Owners Expo and Storerotica in one large exhibit hall. Last year they were split in two and everyone shunted back and forth between the two. The convenience of both in the same room was convenient to all. Of most interest to me is always the feature entertainers and I spent the majority of my time with Pure Talent, Continental Theatrical Agency, Lee Network and Gold Star Entertainment. Since due to the economy so few clubs are booking feature entertainers, we got to see many entertainers that we don’t get to see anymore and to meet some new ones that we hope to see in the future. I made the rounds, trying to look into every booth, but time was a premium and there were so many distractions. Before we knew it the lights were flashing and it was time to clear the conference halls.

Tuesday night there was a Leather and Lace Party at the Las Vegas Penthouse Club. I was sound asleep at the time the party began, waking up hours later. Remember I had been up since 3:30am Miami time to catch my flight. Wednesday morning I was still jet lagged. It was easy to get up but hard to stay up. And those king size beds at Mandalay Bay are just so comfortable. Breakfast at the Bayside Buffet at Mandalay Bay has to be one of the best breakfasts anywhere. You can feast enough to last almost last all through the day. If one is lucky enough to get a table in the room with all the open windows, the tropical landscaping is spectacular.

At 1:00 the trade show was open for a whole six hours which would seem like an amazing amount of time. But it isn’t. The thing is, after going to EXPO for so many years you get to know a lot of people and time just flies by. When you have two objectives, taking photographs and making new contacts, there’s no time to waste. Once again it was the good people at Deep Throat Energy Drink and Faded Energy that kept me going through the day. We got to visit with Red Light District and Anabolic, two of the leaders in adult videos, saw all the Badgirlz girz, the Rick’s Cabaret people and so many more. Rio Rivers informed me that Miss Nude World is on this year - we wish her the best!

Exotic Dancer revamped the awards show staging it at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. The comedian got replaced by a rock’n'roll band, The Crashers, the premier La Vegas ’80s cover band. The awards were hosted by Jessie Jane, Ronnie the Limo Driver with emmcee MarkyMark. Ron Jeremy, Jim St. John (Pantera) and Justine Joli were among the many presenters. Here’s the list of all the awards, and in case you’re interested, yes, everyone partied way way into the night, but you already knew that, this is Las Vegas!

THE STARS SHINED BRIGHT
AT EXXXOTICA MIAMI !!!!

Friday morning the guys took off to Miami to build and stock the booths while I got all the details wrapped up and was actually ready and waiting when Ace came and picked me up at 3pm. We got lucky with traffic and made the drive (last year it took me THREE HOURS in bumper to bumper) in 45 minutes.
The Miami Beach Convention Center doors opened at 4pm on Friday with fans already lined up to get in. And closed on Sunday at 7pm with security escorting out the stragglers.  Over the weekend Xcitement staff and my buddies  JC, Adam, Felice, and Antonio watched over Xcitement’s compound. We had thousands of issues of Xcitement being handed out, plus stars signing, fans visiting, air brush artist Marcio from MK Arts painting almost naked girls, and EVERYONE taking tons of pictures. And my ace reporter, ACE was also on hand to do a little bit of everything, including chatting and photographing the stars and of course being my chaffeur and hotel roommate.
In between schmoozing with fans and handing out Xcitement and Adult Fun 411 mags, I snuggled boobies, grabbed asses and flirted shamelessly with so many hot stars. Some of those included the beautiful babes hanging out and signing at our tables, like Diamond Jackson, Brianna Beach, Adriana DeVille, Keeani Lei, Bailey Brooks, Sara Siren, Nikki Vee and more!  Thanks girls for making our space so much more attractive!
I also walked around the convention to say hi to old friends and make sure I got my hands on all the sizzling stars I had interviewed lately. Many of our recent cover girls attended the show and I wanted to give them all issues to sign for fans. I also wanted an “excuse” to get up close and personal with some of the most beautiful girls in the world. Do you blame me???
A lot of Xcitement’s advertisers were there and took the opportunity to exhibit. The Booby Trap, Oxygen Resorts, and Miami Velvet kept their excellent booths busy. Sassy Assy flew in its spicy hot catalog models who posed non-stop all three days for photos. The Dollhouse was the official bed sponsor. Loved those rotating hotties in the beds! Galardi South Enterprises ran the VIP lounge with 4 stages going day and night.
Besides hanging out AT the convention, I found that I bumped into a ton of people I knew in FRONT of the hall. There was my long time fantasy man Dale Dabone and one of the hottest couples on the planet- Tommy Gunn and Ashlynn Brooke. But the highlight of my trip happened as I was leaving to head home. As I exited the doors, I ran into my favorite porn icon, Ron Jeremy, who gave me a hug and told me that his book is STILL on the bestseller list. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer porn star. Exxxotica Miami- all the stars came out. Hope you were there!

AL-Recently I had the pleasure of reviewing the website of Gina Lynn. She’s been in the game for a while now and has made a good name for herself. I’ve always liked her for a couple reasons. One of those is that she’s a Jersey girl, as I’m from Jersey too. It seems when you read about where most of the stars come from, they’re always from somewhere in the midwest or California, so it’s refreshing to stroke to a girl who can tell you what exit she’s from off the Turnpike. Additionally, she has a look I’m into, which is the the stripper look.

CL-I’m guessing by stripper look, you mean long thick light blonde hair and big boobs? I think Gina is gorgeous and often she is thought to be all Italian. I don’t know if it’s because of her name, “Gina” or because of her appearances on “The Sopranos”, but she is actually Italian and Puerto Rican. I didn’t think that she had a Jersey accent when I’ve spoken to her, but maybe she has been around Cali girls long enough to have lost it. And she now lives in Pennsylvania.

AL-If you are a fan of Gina then her site is right up your alley as it has a bunch of vids with her along with other stars like Alexis Amore and Nikki Benz, and not fillers with no name girls. You can download and stroke to the vids at a moment’s notice. When ever you are ready, Gina is ready! The site also has vids that feature girls besides Gina, which is good, because like sex itself, it’s boring to rub off to the same chick all the time, no matter how hot she is.

CL- I watched the clip of Gina & Mr Marcus and it was a very hot one. The dark skin, light skin always gets me going, but they also had chemistry together. Then I watched a girl/girl vid with Gina and Belladonna (who had long reddish hair at the time) and it was sizzling! To make things more fair, lol, I then watched a scene that Travis (Gina’s husband) did with Lanny Barbie. And it was great as well. Every clip I watched was jerk off worthy.

AL- Gina also has a good section of of high quality pics, though I’m not so much into that. I like pics that move and have sound, otherwise known as videos. According to her site she will soon has live cams of her in action where people can interact with her which is sure to be a winner with her fans. I had hoped I could have had a little taste of that, but I guess the planets didn’t align in time for it to happen.

CL- Sorry AL, I didn’t get to see any live cam shows either. I’ll find out when Gina is getting that up and running, and let you know. I do like pictures though. Sometimes there will be one that has all my key elements in it, and I can just memorize it for later use, lol.

AL-GIna’s site is affiliated with a network of sites, so if you get a membership to her site, you can check out other sites and it’s included in the price. That’s cool cause porn is like life, the more options you have, the bigger load you’re gonna bust.

CL- AL, you are such a master at making up cool quotes, you should have been around in the “grasshopper” days. And if nothing else you should be saving up your best stuff for a book someday. As to affiliate sites, I checked out SybianSolos.com and found it to be unknown girls, but hot tight little Zoe, who I picked gave me a nice strip tease, and self-please and then a hot wet ride. She really like fucking the sybian and I like watching her pretty pussy fuck the sybian. A good time was had by all! And then I got to go “for free!” to JennaHaze.com. Jenna’s whole website is part of the package when you are a member of Gina’s. I chose to watch the scene where Jenna dominated Dee. Dee was tied up and teased and talked dirty too by Jenna. OMG, SO HOT! Both Jenna and Dee are amazing. But then so is Gina, and that is why we were there in the first place!

AL-There’s also the blog section, which appears to be standard nowadays. Hey if thats your bag, you’ll like reading them, cause they sure ain’t short entries. For me though, I’ll skip that shit each and every time as I came to stroke, not read.

CL- I’ll read for sure. Gina’s Blog entries are so honest. I love that she tells you what REALLY happened when she visited a club or attended an event. She doesn’t hold back from bitching about bad treatment, or being bored or if she was tired and cranky. I love when a star, doesn’t think she has to act perfect all the time, and reveals her missteps as well as those of others. But maybe I like reading it because it’s a girl thing? I wish I had more time to do this review. I would read tons more of Gina’s entries, watch about twenty more vids, and then I would spend about a month checking out all the other sites, with special attention to the ones featuring Jenna Haze! By then I would be ready to start all over again!

AL-Fans of Gina should definitely consider going for the membership. Casual admirers may want to take the tour and see if they bite, plus don’t forget to consider there are the other sites that are included with your GinaLynn.com membership.

CL-Having full time access to Gina’s site is cool. When that is combined with the other sites you get along with it, well worth the money.

AL-It would be cool if the site was updated more frquently, though I have a feeling Gina will be more dedicated to that as time goes on. I would have loved to have been able to see the webcam feed and get one of those private sessions, but what are ya gonna do? Overall it was definitely worth my time to check it out, and the jizz rag got a few more uses.

CL- I did notice also that I didn’t see anything on Gina’s site dated 2008…. yet. While it would take me months and months to see everything that is on her site right now, plus all the other free sites that go along with it. I would like to see and hear from Gina at least once a week to keep up with what she is doing right now, and YES AL, read her blog!

Gina says-I know I have been slacking on my blogs but been so damn busy, I promise my fans I will get better at that. Plus I have a ton of content that we will be adding every week, its just that we relaunched and getting everything in order now. I really love my new site and believe my members will be more than happy with what they paid for.

Rize 2 is one of the most popular non-prescription male sexual performance enhancers on the market. This herbal dietary supplement will help you “Rize 2 the occasion”. And after trying it myself on more than one occasion, I can tell you it honestly works for me. Being Xcitement Magazines’ porn movie reviewer, I’ve beat my cock more times than Mike Tyson beat his girlfriend, which means some mornings my flag pole flies half-mast. On those days when my dick can use some kick,  I’ve turned to Rize 2. between a half-hour, and forty-five minutes after taking the capsule I’m sporting the Sears Tower. Even after I bust my nut i’m back in action within ten minutes. and on a few occasions, the effects lasted the following day. The only draw back is some of the women I fucked, had to stop after the first hour or two. …Yes, that’s no type-o, …TWO Hours of fucking, sometimes even longer. Everyone I’ve spoke to about Rize 2 has given me the same comments: “That stuff is great!”. And I must agree. I’ve tried a few of the others, but none have given the results I’ve gotten from Rize 2. Very Highly Recommended! -Lenny B. Zarre

Gina Lynn’s Exclusive Pocket Vibe- It’s purple and has four different textured heads, three speeds and can be put on your key chain. (So many porn stars tell me then jerk off in LA on the freeway when they are stuck in traffic) It comes with major batteries, just put them in and you are ready to roll. Of course while you are using it you can think of Gina Lynn driving her monster truck …

CLICK FOR WEBSITE

Waterwhirl - This little guy is smooth, and comfortable. Fits perfectly in your hand and vibrates just right at the easy push of the button. Has two speeds, getting there and there. Is very quiet and useful in the bathtub, shower or just as a buzz buddy when you need him to keep under your bed. Simple and works well. Perfect shape and size to pleasure yourself anywhere, anytime.

THE CONE is the hottest toy of the season. It’s very simple and it’s one of those things that you say to yourself, why didn’t i think of that! It’s a soft pink, well, cone. You put in your batteries and it vibrates. But it doesn’t just steadily vibrate. There are sixteen different patterns of vibration, and one of those for impatient people is called orgasm. There are two buttons on the side for changing the pattern. Other then that you don’t need your hands to use The Cone. You can sit on it, lay on it, press up against it, and put it in any hole you desire. It’s definitely different then anything you’ve tried before. It’s even cool enough to leave around as a decoration. No one will know what it is unless they have seen it before or you tell them.

CLICK FOR WEBSITE

Peni-lite - It’s a tiny purple penis with a flashlight shining out of the hole. It goes on your key chain. It’s funny, cute and it actually serves a purpose to get your door opened when it’s dark. Great stocking stuffer.

MARY CAREY
MASTURBATOR
Being as I am the one responsible for Mary Carey’s trip into the porn world (she tells me), and I miss her so much she is so busy I don’t get to talk to her much I ordered the Mary Carey Masturbator. NOt that I think about her in THAT way, lol. But there is always ” a part of her” with me. LMAO. Anyway, it’s a very cool toy. It feels like the real thing, and there is room for company if you know what I mean.
