LOS ANGELES—Exotic dancers from across North America headed to Los Angeles earlier this month for what has been described as the nation's top invitation-only showgirl competition.
The Exotic Dancer Invitational-West (EDI), which was held March 9-11 at the Dames 'n' Games Spearmint Rhino club, 2319 E Washington Blvd, divided entrants into three divisions: newcomer, Showgirl and Champion, and featured several adult actresses in the mix.
"It was thrilling to see all of these great competitors all in one place, especially with the elite level of talent showcased in the Champion Division," said EDI founder and producer, Dave Manack, who's also the associate publisher of ED Publications, which produces the Annual Gentlemen's Club Expo and ED's Awards Show. "In just its second year, the EDI has become the most prestigious national feature dance contest, and we are proud to be the producers of this contest series. And the shows these girls put together are absolutely amazing! They continue to raise the bar for feature entertainers across the country."
