$7,000.00 was awarded during an evening of exotic dance fireworks provided by a pool of competitors that came from across the country for Stripperfest 10. The tenth chapter of the Stripperfest series was another history making event that saw the induction of four previous champions into the Skindustry Honor Society along with crowning two current champions in three categories; Queen of the Stage, Hottest Stripper and Queen of the Pole.

The Hottest Stripper category provided the highest level of drama for the night with a tie score of 46.25 (50 highest possible score) between Candy (Wild J’s, OK) and Simone Dana Lustrous (Cheetahs, NV) for first place in the final round prompting a sudden death dance between the two to decide a winner. In the dance off Simone (48.75) walked away with the decision over Candy (46.75). Coming in third place was Lacey Rain (independent) who missed out on the sudden death dance off with a score of 46.25. Rounding out the final round of the Hottest Stripper category was Mariah (Miss Pole, WI) – 45.25, Whitney (Angel’s, MI) – 44 and Vanessa (On the Border, WI) – 43.75.

Simone took her second Skindustry Hottest Stripper title, having won the same title along with Queen of the Stage at StripperPalooza 3 in August. This was also Whitney’s second trip to the finals of the “Hottest” category, with her first coming at StripperPalooza 2.

The stage category was provided with two early on favorites with StripperPalooza 2 Queen of the Stage Lacey Rain and StripperPalooza 3 Queen of the Stage Simone Dana Lusterous. This also became a rematch of sorts due to the fact that Lacey edged out Simone by half a point at StripperPalooza 2. By the end of the final round Simone avenged her previous defeat with a score of 29.75 (30 highest possible score) to Lacey’s 28.5. This marked Simone’s second straight double victory in the stage and Hottest Stripper category at a Skindustry competition. Taking the third place position was Harley (Parkway Tropics, MI) – 26.5 making her first trip to the stage finals at a Skindustry competition, having made the final round of the pole at SP2 and slated to compete in the final round of the pole category later in the night.

The pole competition was the fiercest category of the evening featuring 6 contestants that had made multiple trips to final rounds, at previous contests, including 3 former Queens. Gara (independent), a two time Stripperfest pole winner wowed the audience and judges as she made her way to Stripperfest history as the only lady to ever win 3 Stripperfest titles with a score 29.75 (30 highest possible score). She bested StripperPalooza 3 Queen of the Pole, Cassie Sterling (The Clubhouse, TX) – 29.25 by half a point in the final round. Harli was the third place finisher with a score of 24 making her just the third lady in history to ever make it to the finals of both the pole and stage category at Stripperfest.

The night was highlighted with the first Skindustry Honor Society ceremony with the induction of Tawnie Monroe (SF3 QOS), Cali (SF4 QOP), Kozmina (SF1-2 QOP) and Autumn (SF4-6 QOS). Inductees were introduced to the stage, awarded plaques and gave speeches to the sold out audience.

Stripperfest 10 was the fourth Skindustry event of the year and all attention is now shifted to StripperPalooza 4 as we return to Angel’s Gentlemen’s Club in Kalamazoo,MI for the last event of the year Sunday Novemebr 6, 2011.
