Strippers & Hustlers Ball

[Naughty]

So you wanna be a ho? Actually, if you’re old enough to remember Eddie Murphy’s classic Saturday Night Live pimp character Velvet Jones, you might not be the target audience for this bash. But aspiring pimps, hos, strippers, hustlers, “IT” girls, playas and nasty skanks that know how to strut their stuff in style will all be at the Strippers & Hustlers Ball at the Orleans Arena. And let’s face it, that makes for a lot of sexy eye candy for the rest of us.

The truth is, this perverse (or is it perverted?) import from the Bay Area actually knows how to mix sex and art in a way that should stimulate everyone in multiple ways. They’ve got Penthouse Pet of the Year Erica Ellyson, the men of Playgirl magazine, Snake-Babe, Box-Man, and more strippers than you can shake your pole at competing for $20K in cash and prizes. If you want it a little more artsy, make sure to check out the erotic routine of the whiter-than-white Porcelain Twinz.

If all of the above leaves you wondering why the CityLife staff would make this hormone fest our pick of the week, look no further than The Genitorturers. The iconic punk/goth/metal/industrial band will be performing Sunday night with a little help from former Guns 'N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, and their sex-kitten-from-hell vocalist Gen will be unveiling her “electro-erotic” project, Gen-XX, on Saturday. Other bands on the bill include L.A.’s Damato and an all-girl Motley Crue tribute act known as, what else, Girls, Girls, Girls.

Stock up on Viagra, wear something ridiculous and revealing, and check your inhibitions at the door. And if you don’t think you can handle the event itself, at least spend a few hours at the Orleans watching the horrified gray-haired tourists.
