Stripping in leather

I know, I know, I’m pimping out strippers on this thing now! I feel so dirty about it, too. I mean, who would have thought such filth would run on a wholesome website like xtra.ca? The place where a porn model writes porny, overbearingly wordy diatribes on porn culture?

. . . Aaaaaaaaaand I just realized what a weird word “porn” is. Seriously, sound it out now: porn. Poooooooooorn. Bleck. It’s like “blog”: it means a nice thing, but it’s just a terrible word.

Anyway, tonight Toronto Leather Pride is hosting an amateur strip night at Remington’s, and if you’re inclined to get down and dirty with a bunch of leather men and leatherettes (not an actual word, but I like it), then come on by. And if you’re hot enough, I heard Ryan Russell may even be scouting for potential pornstars! Although you will have to let him suck your dick.

Hahaha! Just kidding about that last part! He’ll actually do it just for the taste.
