You don't have to take all of your clothes off to win an adult erotica pageant anymore.


Last week, 400 porn stars showed up at the self-proclaimed "largest adult event on the East Coast." It was called eXXXotica and featured famous porn stars Tera Patrick, Sasha Grey, Ron Jeremy and Ginger Lynn. The pageant winner? A woman who wouldn't even take her clothes off.

Maria Quiroz, aka Maria Millions, aka Ms. Fuego, won the 2009 Ms. eXXXotica Pageant at the eXXXotica New York Convention. Born in Columbia, Quiroz now lives in Pompano Beach, Fla. According to her profile on Model Mayhem, the pageant winner will not pose for nude photos. She models swim wear and lingerie but won't take her top off -- or her pants.

Don't Tase Me, Stripping Co-worker
There are now two rules for strips clubs. Strip club patrons are not supposed to touch the strippers and strippers are not supposed to taser their co-workers.

Kathleen Bennett is a stripper who lives in Ft. Worth, Tex. She used to strip at a club called Cabaret North but she was fired last week. When she argued with a waitress named Jennifer McReynolds, the manager asked her to calm down but she wouldn't so she lost her job.

But she wasn't going let the club have the last word. On her way out, she allegedly tased the waitress with a stun gun. Then she ran out of the club and drove away. Then, the police arrived. Jennifer plans to press charges.

Fake Smoking for Real Smokers
Chain smokers who chew nicotine gum in order to quell the desire for a smoke can breathe easier now.

Ryanair did a survey and found that more than 24,000 people would like to be able to smoke on flights. The airline has been trying to make more money in a somewhat desperate manner. They wanted to get rid of the check-in counters and also wanted to charge passengers for use of airplane bathrooms.

Now, they are pandering to those who fly and like to smoke by offering smokeless cigarettes on the plane. Each pack costs about $8.75. The cigarettes will not emit smoke but will allow the inhalation of nicotine.
