Every year beginning the Wednesday after Fat Tuesday there is a competition by invitation only to bring the best of feature entertainers together for a 4 night contest right in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter. It is called the Penthouse G-String Competition and it's a hot one.

In the past, winners have included Devon Michaels, Tyler Day, Mercedez, Kloey Love, Aspen Reign, etc. This is the 8th year of holding this contest and every year it is growing bigger and better. This year in attendance were Gia Nova, Pason, Rachelle Laree, Hailey Heart, Shay Lynn, Sequoia Roberts, Victoria Valentino, Schevelle, Keira Riley and Aspen Reign. The entertainers brought their most creative props, most elaborate costumes, and showcased their individual talents to the best of their ability. There were aerial silks, an aerial hoop, gymnasts, paint shows, champagne bowl shows, shower shows, messy food shows, a trapeze and Keira who disappeared into the ceiling for her 007 show. This was probably the most talented group of girls in the 8 years of the Penthouse contest.

Many magazines were in attendance to cover this huge event, more than in any previous year. The list included Private Dancer from Los Angeles, Exotic Dancer Publications, and Quest magazine from Houston, Texas and of course Penthouse Magazine! The contest was a very tight competition as all the girls were there to win. But only one winner could walk away with the overall gold Medal. This contest does not give away crowns or trophies but does present the winners with medals just like the Olympics for each division.

This is very much like the Olympics in the feature entertainer industry. The categories are divided into 3 separate divisions. This year it was Magazine, Centerfold and Showgirl. The three highest scores win their categories and a gold medal. Every girl walks away with a medal just for competing. They have gold, silver and bronze medals. The 3 winners of the different divisions are the top scores of the competition. The 3 top places also get a beautiful wood case with a rhinestone G-String behind glass. They also come in gold, silver or bronze. They also give out the Penthouse G-String Universe Award to the Overall champion.

This year the Overall winners were Rachelle Laree for bronze, Keira Riley silver and once again for the second time Aspen Reign (www.XXXAspen.net) was the Gold Medal Overall Champion! She won this contest in 2005 and now holds the title in 2008. She is the only girl to have won this contest twice and is the only entertainer to have been presented with the Penthouse Universe award 3 times! And in the history of the Penthouse G-String competition Aspen Reign is the only woman to have won all 3 categories in the contest 'Magazine, Showgirl and Porn divisions.' She was awarded the Penthouse Platinum Achievement Award in 2007 as well. Aspen Reign has started 2008 off with a bang by first winning the Miss Nude World 2008 title in December again for the 3rd. time.. She is in the 2008 Penthouse club calendar as well. She is also a Featured Rock Confidential girl this month. She also was Exotic Dancer Magazines 'Entertainer of the Year' in 2003. She is not slowing down any time soon so keep your eye on her.

Aspen Reign and Keira Riley also won 2008 Worlds Best Duo at the Miss Nude World pageant for their award winning duo show called 'Risque Business.' Keira also was Miss Nude World 1st runner up as well. Pure Talent's top 2 girls are hot and showing the industry what feature entertainment is all about!
