Exxxotica and Adultcon Rumored to Move to Cowboys Stadium; Trump Played Host in 2013

Lord knows how long the Exxxotica lawsuit will take to wind its way through a begrudging legal system. In the meantime, Cowboys Stadium is rumored to have been offered up as an alternative location. A source for the Cowboys said, “We know first-hand what it’s like to be chased out of town by the Mayor of Dallas.”
My source also commented on the similarities on their business models. This makes sharing space a good fit, “Like Exxxotica and Adultcon, we also target an overwhelmingly male audience who enjoy watching the action more than participating.”
And step-in they will. Apparently the deal would provide Cowboys season ticket holders with a discount on Exxxotica and Adultcon conventions, a gift card for purchases, and a free T-shirt.
In a joint press release, Adultcon and Exxxotica look forward to exhibiting together should the city of Dallas prevail, “We’re usually fierce competitors but it’s a unique situation and it’s a huge stadium, so we’re working together to supersize the experience for attendees.”
Coming together
As the plans are “fleshed out” in coming weeks, expect to see the Cowboys organization, from players to cheerleaders, working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Exxxotica and Adultcon operations. In addition to the season ticket perks, to service an overlapping fan base, the Cowboys, Exxxotica and Adultcon will participate in workshops where attendees can learn best practices from the professionals. This cross-pollination initiative will include workshops in choreography, posing, physical fitness regimes, make-up tips, and costuming. There’ll be a mixed panel discussion entitled, “10 Tips to Tease” and a class on “Pole Dancing Without a Pole.”
Another new event will be an exhibition “Shirts versus Skins” football match between the groups. In the buildup, both Adultcon and Exxxotica reps trash-talked the cheerleaders, “The cheerleaders are going down hard. Our ladies know how to take a ball and run with it.”
One Adultcon representative quipped, “The biggest change at the football match will be in the gift shops.”

Similar Business Models …
Indeed, the tie-up makes sense. Each of these businesses depend on separating men from money. In the Cowboys case, male physical prowess is proven through a competition that serves up a side-order of scantily clad female cheerleaders. Certainly there is an element of fantasy in sports with spectator-envy expressed through fantasy leagues, armchair quarterbacking and obligatory cheerleader ogling.
For Exxxotica and Adultcon, largely female physical prowess is celebrated and proven through a scantily clad feminine meat market displaying “all stars” as well as wannabe “back-benchers.” And none can deny the built-in (unrequited) fantasy element that is the bedrock of the adult industry. My source completely agreed that, “the gridiron bump and grind of players and cheerleaders is not so different.”
Move along, nothing sexual to see here
… Using Similar Imagery
All parties agreed, the imagery involved in both activities can be quite similar and is (of course) based on a practitioner’s’ skill, versus exploitation. I apologize for my notes being unclear, but one of the representatives commented, “Their lack of clothing is purely based on the physical exertion.”
In the city’s response to the Exxxotica lawsuit they state, “Both the attire of the entertainers and the conduct in which they engaged is indiscernible from the typical conduct at adult cabarets and nude model studios.” Or apparently a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
Long-sleeves appear to be the point of distinction. What could be more Texan than Texaco or the Cowboys?
Is the wording of the city’s response to Exxxotica a window into why the Dallas Cowboys were forced to Arlington? Are the Cowboys’ cheerleaders too sexy for Dallas? Like Exxxotica, do the Cowboys provide “sexual stimulation” to attendees that goes against Dallas’ petticoat morality?
When asked if they felt there would be backlash, my Cowboys source recalled that Houston survived the 2003 Super Bowl Nipplegate brouhaha. They too would weather any storm just fine, “Janet Jackson scandalized a nation, all Arlington is worried about is running out of batteries.”
The bucks stopped here.
Big Bid’ness
Texas has loomed large in decades-old conservatism with bid’ness often providing the moral compass. In this election year, Donald Trump seems to be the presumptive Republican nominee. And who better to set the pace for the conservative values that will guide our great nation than the 2013 host of Exxxotica?
April Fools … except Trump, that’s true.
