Pimp pajama party

Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof celebrated his birthday with a pajama
party Nov. 5 at the NV 50 Ultra Lounge in Carson City. Guests were
encouraged to wear their PJs to the event, and many party-goers did,
from sexy, skimpy lingerie to “Hef”-type smoking jackets. The
entertainment bill listed several DJs, and the evening’s high points
came from hit rapper Afroman, most famous for his international hit,
“Because I got High,” and original 2 Live Crew member Mr. Mixx. Hof
introduced Mr. Mixx as one of his First Amendment heroes. (And he
mentioned that Larry Flynt, who wasn’t in attendance but who’d called
Hof earlier in the day to wish him a happy birthday, is also one of his
First Amendment heroes.)
Mr. Mixx served up some of the most memorable X-rated songs from 2 Live Crew, who stirred up controversy with the 1989 album, As Nasty as They Wanna Be.
Hits like “Me So Horny” and “One And One,” which made 2 Live Crew early
parental-warning-label pioneers, had dancers at the Ultra Lounge up on
stage bumping and grinding. Just after the stroke of midnight, the
party exhibited no signs of slowing down; Mr. Mixx and birthday-boy Hof
jumped onto the stage to sing with Afroman.
