"Good evening, everybody! Are you ready to be aroused?" The 3,000 VIP spectators packed into the hotel auditorium exploded with throaty cheers and loud whistles as hostess Angelina LaRusso stood spotlighted at center stage in front of the podium adorned with gilt stars. I was waiting off in the wings, heart pounding, clad in my silver tiara, diamond necklace and form-fitting red vinyl dress. Persephone X, who was ahead of me in the line, smoothed down her long, jet-black hair, caught my eye and mouthed: "Fuck you, sweetheart! You're going to lose." I did my best to ignore the three-time Adult Entertainer of the Year's attempt to intimidate me.
"Welcome to one of the most beautiful, erotic cities in the world: Rio de Janeiro!" continued Angelina LaRusso. "We're coming to you live from the historic Hotel Copahorica. Marilyn, JFK, and Elvis all stayed here in the 1960's, but this place is going to be known for something much different after the sixth annual Miss Erotic Universe pageant. Do you know what I'm talking about, people? I'm talking about fucking and sucking! That's right! Oh my, look what we have here!"
Through a crack in the long red velvet curtain, I could see a woman in the front row – a former porn starlet whose name eluded me – openly fellating the long, engorged cock of her much younger, tuxedo-clad date. The spotlight shifted over to them for a moment. I felt my cunt clenching already as I voyeuristically enjoyed the spectacle. The young man let out a long groan, pulled out and ejaculated on his cock-sucking partner's beautiful evening gown as Angelina LaRusso led the applause.
"Yes, indeed – it's going to be that kind of pageant," Angelina enthused. "And we're broadcasting all three days of the event this year to more than sixty countries worldwide, so the very nasty, very kinky exploits of some of today's best-loved adult starlets will be seen by the largest possible audience. Does that make you hard? Does that make you fucking wet?"
When the loud, raunchy response died down, Angelina continued: "Well, then, let's meet the contenders for the title of Miss Erotic Universe!"
The first two girls were from Belgium and Japan respectively, and while their showgirl-style costumes got polite applause, I could already tell that they wouldn't have what it took to claim the cash prize of $100,000 plus the opportunity to shoot a two-hour porn feature on a private island in the Bahamas.
The crowd went wild, however, when Persephone X strutted out there to show off her tight mid-40's body in a schoolgirl uniform. She arrogantly snapped her fingers and a heavy dance beat kicked in. She did a Britney Spears-style dance number with swift precision before heading over to the podium and announcing: "The name is Persephone. The game is winning." She licked her lips and smiled before joining the other girls.
"Next up, we have from the United States, Aurelia Summers!" Hearing my stage name, I took a deep breath before making my grand entrance. My Thievery Corporation song began to play. Eyes closed, I walked slowly and sensually, swaying my hips, running my hands over my body, glancing up at the crowd when I cupped my full breasts, nipples clearly erect through the vinyl. Just before reaching the podium, I waved to the technician offstage, who dimmed the lights and hit "Play" for a video on one of the three giant screens behind me.
