Seattle's Sexxxiest Awards
taken from EXOTIC UNDERGROUND'S BLOG:
EXOTIC UNDERGROUND PRESENTS: SEATTLE'S SEXXXIEST AWARDS Coming in Underground's 3 year anniversary issue in September, an awards show unlike any other. The Weeklies have all done their take on what they (and supposedly, their readers) claim to be the best of Seattle. Now I don't know about you, but I've attended many of these shows, and filled out many of their ballots in electing the Top Dog hopefuls… but to be honest, the winners that always seem to end up on top, impress me about as much as good ole' G. Dubya. The publications aren't so much the problem, perhaps it's just their readers that choose to actually vote, or maybe the selection of the nominees is what makes it so damn uninteresting. One thing I've learned in publishing this mag for the past few years is this, our readers kick some serious ass. So it's time for us to discover what ALL OF YOU….THE UNDERGROUND MAGAZINE READERS think is the Sexxxiest of Seattle. The following is a list of proposed categories. It's UP TO YOU to help us select our nominees. This is an awards event by the people, for the people. No payola, no bribes, no blowjobs and no corporate ass kissing will be involved in the eventual results. Knowing us, I'm sure someone will end up getting pissed off before this is all said and done, but remember, ALL OF YOU are making the calls on this one. Once again, this is NOT the official ballot, this is a search for nominees in the following categories. You may nominate as many as you like, in as many categories as you like. The actual ballot will appear in the July issue, and the winners bestowed their honors of Seattle's Sexxxiest at the awards ceremony in September.
