There is probably no better venue to host an exotic dancer competition than a place that celebrates the unclad human body—which is why it is appropriate that the first annual Miss G-String International Pageant was held at Paradise Lakes nudist resort near Tampa, Florida. The competition took place October 1-3 and featured 17 talented dancers, all of whom performed their best striptease and exotic dance routine for a panel of judges and a very enthusiastic audience. Each girl incorporated a unique twist into her individual number, and judges were wowed with creative themes that included sexy Elvis, burlesque, fire twirling and gothic vampire. Winner Tanya Taylor's performance—inspired by Britney Spears' "Circus" video and concert tour—was sexy, energetic and concluded with an unforgettable hot wax shower.
 
Tanya Taylor was not the only winner at the event. Adult film star Daisy Duxe was voted Miss Congeniality by her fellow contestants, and burlesque and fetish star Tali De'Mar won a Playboy photo shoot after being nominated Miss Photogenic. And Madison, Wisconsin native Tawnie Monroe was the winner of the Newcomers division.
