History of the LPIN Awards

In 1997, Bashful, publisher of a brothel FAQ on the now extinct Bashfulparanoia.com website which was the seminal document that engendered the online LPIN community, posted on Georgia Powers' board that he would be in northern Nevada the third week of July 1997 and anyone who wanted to meet him was welcome to show up.  He posted what times he would be at each brothel on each day and that folks could recognize him because he would be wearing red suspenders.  About 20 people showed up but no more than 12 were together at any one time.  This was the birth of CWMC 1 in July 1997.  The banquet happened when an original poster called Doc suggested they have dinner at Rapscallions, a local Reno seafood restaurant.  However, awards were not presented, because CWMC Awards had not yet been organized.   

In 1998, CWMC Awards started during the preparation for CWMC 2 in July 1998.  Georgia Powers, webmaster of the now defunct GPPAYS.com website, wanted to give out a few awards to honor deserving brothels, providers, and others.  GP put up a voting page on his GP's Bordello Connection and asked posters on his message board to vote for their favorites in two CWMC 1997 Awards categories which were Brothel of the Year and Courtesan of the Year.  Also, Georgia Powers gave out another award named GP's Choice award with the winner to be chosen by GP.  The first year of voting resulted in Katherine Leigh of Sagebrush Ranch 1 being chosen as Courtesan of the Year and Sagebrush Ranch 1 winning Brothel of the Year.  Bashful was chosen for GP's Choice award.  After the voting was completed Georgia Powers contacted Interested bystander who was organizing a dinner during the Annual Reno Meeting, and asked if he could present the awards during the banquet.  Katherine Leigh attended the banquet accepting her award, and accepted the BOY award on behalf of Sagebrush Ranch.  Bashful was on hand to accept his award too.

In 1999, Georgia Powers was unsure whether he wanted to present awards again or not.  This ambivalence opened the door for another group to present awards.  At that time ICQ instant messaging was very new and all the rage among the online LPIN community.  During a chat one night that included Interested bystander, Arcticbear, Curious, Klatch, and other message board posters from the time, it was decided that an awards committee would be formed to conduct voting and present CWMC 1998 Awards for Courtesan of the Year and Brothel of the Year.  The committee consisted of the people present in the chat and Bashful was named chairman in absentia since he refused to use ICQ on his computer at that time.  Voting rules were worked out and a voting webpage was put on the Internet.  The Courtesan of the Year winner was Cindy Spice of Sagebrush Ranch 1 while Sagebrush Ranch 1 captured their second straight Brothel of the Year award.  The awards were presented at the Awards Banquet hosted by Flyfisher and Curious in July 1999.  Also at that dinner a group of posters presented an award to Tessa who was a prolific poster at that time and had worked at Kitty's Cathouse and the original Mustang Ranch.

In 2000, it was the third year for the awards.  Georgia Powers wanted to present awards as did Arcticbear.  They each held separate voting, Georgia Powers on his website which had been renamed GP's Bordello Connection and Arcticbear on his CWMC.org website.  For the purpose of this history, the GP's awards are recognized as the CWMC Awards.  The CWMC 1999 Awards consisted of Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and John of the Year all of which were determined by public vote.  The Courtesan of the Year winner was Nikita of Kitty's Cathouse and Brothel of the Year was Kitty's Cathouse.  The John of the Year award was presented to Flyfisher.  The awards were to be presented at the Awards Banquet, but were lost by the shipper so certificates were presented to the winners instead.  Interested bystander and Sheri hosted their second Annual Banquet.  Flyfisher and Nikita were present to receive their awards while Dusty Rose accepted the BOY award on behalf of Kitty's Cathouse.

In 2001, the fourth year for presentations was CWMC 2000 Awards.  This marked the last year that Georgia Powers sponsored awards.  Also, it was the final year of GP's Bordello Connection as GP moved on to other interests and sold his GPPAYS.com domain to a porn website redirector.  A public vote was held for awards through GP's website ending in a three-way tie for Courtesan of the Year between Shannon of Sagebrush Ranch 2, Nikita of Kitty's Cathouse who had won in 1999, and Adele who worked at both Kitty's and Sagebrush Ranch 1.  Sagebrush Ranch 1 won their third Brothel of the Year award.  Also, Georgia Powers presented a GP's choice award to Alexa Albert, a researcher who had actually lived for a short time at the original Mustang Ranch and published the book "Brothel: Mustang Ranch and its Women" in 2001 and included a section on the Internet community in the book.  Alexa had interviewed a few GPPAYS posters at one of the Annual Picnics.  Due to the expense of replacing the lost awards from the previous year and purchasing three COY awards GP asked Arcticbear to help pay for the awards and in return Arcticbear was the presenter of the awards at the July 2001 Awards Banquet.  Interested bystander and Sheri hosted their third Annual Banquet.  Nikita and Shannon were both on hand to accept their awards while Shannon accepted for Sagebrush Ranch.  Alexa Albert was unable to attend but did send a recorded acceptance speech which was not played due to technical difficulties.

In 2002, the fifth year for presentations was CWMC 2001 Awards.  With Georgia Powers out of the picture Arcticbear sponsored the awards and called them the CWC awards.  A public vote was held by Arcticbear for four awards, Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, Small Brothel of the Year, and Most Improved Brothel of the Year.  Arcticbear hosted the Annual Awards Banquet.  Summer of the Chicken Ranch was selected as CWMC 2001 Awards Courtesan of the Year while the Chicken Ranch won the Brothel of the Year award.  The Shady Lady Ranch in Beatty was chosen as the Small Brothel of the Year.  Sheri's Ranch was named the Most Improved Brothel of the Year.  Two members of management from the Chicken Ranch were on hand to accept the BOY award, and Bobbi, owner of the Shady Lady Ranch, was on hand to accept her SBOY award.

In 2003, the sixth year for presentations was CWMC 2002 Awards.  This year there was no public voting.  Curious selected his own Courtesan of the Year, Chay of the Shady Lady Ranch, and presented a couple of other people with awards.  The COY and other awards were presented at the July 2003 dinner.  Bree hosted the Annual Banquet.

In 2004, after the lack of a public vote the previous year there was a minor outcry for public awards which by this time had become an expected part of the festivities by not only the posters but the Courtesans and brothels as well.  FredT, a regular poster on both the Sex in Nevada and Nevada Brothels message boards, stepped up to sponsor awards and hold a contest for CWMC 2003 Awards to be presented in July 2004.  In his first year presenting awards FredT ended up with a tie vote.  The Courtesan of the Year winners were Shanice of the Wild Horse Canyon Resort and Chay of the Shady Lady Ranch.  The Wild Horse Canyon Resort won the Brothel of the Year award while the Shady Lady won their second Small Brothel of the Year award.  Bree hosted the Annual Banquet for the second time.  Shanice and Chay were on hand to accept their awards while Shanice accepted for the Wild Horse Canyon Resort.  Bobbi was presented with her Shady Lady Ranch SBOY award later since the dinner organizers did not want brothel management to attend for a number of reasons.

In 2005, FredT sponsored the awards for the second consecutive year.  A website was put up and a public vote was held for the same three awards that were presented the previous year, Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year & Small Brothel of the Year.  The CWMC 2004 Awards Courtesan of the Year winner was Tabitha of Lance Gilman's World Famous Brothel (now The World Famous Mustang Ranch) who had also worked at the Old Bridge Ranch during the year.  The Brothel of the Year was the Wild Horse Canyon Resort for the second consecutive year.  The Shady Lady Ranch captured a third Small Brothel of the Year.  Bobbi, owner of the Shady Lady Ranch had earlier protested the prohibition of owners and managers from the Awards Banquet, and during the voting process had asked that her brothel be removed from the voting.  FredT decided it would be too difficult to redo the voting at that point so, as a joke, most of the Shady Lady votes actually came in as "the Shady Lady just to piss Bobbi off."  Hopefully she received the results with the kidding humor that was intended.  Tabitha was unable to attend but there were Courtesans at the dinner from the Wild Horse to accept on her behalf.  Tabitha was presented with her award later at the brothel.  Also this year the now defunct Nevada Brothel Girl's website, which had been included for qualifying voters for two years, held their own Courtesan of the Year contest and they also voted Tabitha as their COY.  Fastweb announced the winner and displayed the award at the July 2005 dinner and later presented the award to Tabitha at the brothel.

In 2006, FredT sponsored the awards for the third straight year in July 2006, and set up a website for public voting.  The CWMC 2005 Awards Courtesan of the Year winner was Carolina of the Wild Horse Canyon Resort, Brothel of the Year for the third straight year went to the Wild Horse, while the Shady Lady garnered their fourth Small Brothel of the Year.  Carolina had planned to attend the dinner and was actually on her way when a regular customer showed up at the brothel and she had to return.  Several Ladies from the Wild Horse were in attendance, however, and they accepted the BOY award for the Wild Horse.  Carolina was presented with her award later the same night at the brothel.  This year management was allowed at the dinner but none attended.  Interested bystander and Sheri hosted their fourth Annual Banquet.  Bobbi had dropped her protest but was unable to attend the dinner and was presented with her award later.

In 2007, FredT was unable to attend due to family commitments; therefore, he wasn't going to finance awards or conduct voting.  Since the annual awards had become an expected part of the event a few members of the group got together and offered to help Fred with both financing and voting.  The group consisted of FredT, Bashful, ex_okie, Interested bystander, and one other member of the group who for personal reasons preferred to remain anonymous.  Gimpyandlimpy hosted the Annual Banquet.  Despite insinuations to the contrary, no brothels, staff, or paid agents were involved in the awards process.  The winner of the CWMC 2006 Awards Courtesan of the Year was Jenny Lane of Moonlite Bunny Ranch.  The Brothel of the Year winner was the Wild Horse Adult Resort for the fourth year in a row.  Bobbi of the Shady Lady Ranch garnered her fifth Small Brothel of the Year award.  There was a first this year in that it was the first time the Courtesan of the Year did not work at the Brothel of the Year with many voters splitting their ballots.

In 2008, the Awards Committee continued to conduct voting and select awards for Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Small Brothel of the Year.  The committee consisted of FredT, Bashful, gimpyandlimpy, Hiking Guy, Interested bystander, Little Richard, and one other member of the group who for personal reasons preferred to remain anonymous.  Jagged hosted the Annual Banquet.  The winner of the CWMC 2007 Awards Courtesan of the Year award was Anna Suvari of Moonlite Bunny Ranch.  The Brothel of the Year winner was the Wild Horse Adult Resort and Spa for a record fifth straight year.  Bobbi of the Shady Lady Ranch garnered her sixth Small Brothel of the Year award.

In 2009, the Awards Committee conducted voting and selected awards for Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Small Brothel of the Year winners.  The CWMC 2008 Awards Committee consisted of FredT, Bashful, East Coast Guy, gimpyandlimpy, Hiking Guy, Interested bystander, and Little Richard.  Flyfisher hosted the Annual Banquet.  The winner of the Courtesan of the Year award was Anna Suvari of Moonlite Bunny Ranch for the second time.  The Brothel of the Year winner was Moonlite Bunny Ranch.  Bobbi of the Shady Lady Ranch garnered her seventh Small Brothel of the Year award.

In 2010, the Awards Committee conducted voting and selected awards for Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Small Brothel of the Year.  The committee consisted of FredT, Bashful, East Coast Guy, gimpyandlimpy, Hiking Guy, Interested bystander, and Little Richard.  Shooter hosted the Annual Banquet.  The CWMC 2009 Awards Courtesan of the Year Winner was Anna Suvari of Moonlite Bunny Ranch for the third straight year.  The Brothel of the Year winner was Moonlite Bunny Ranch for the second straight year.  Bobbi of the Shady Lady Ranch garnered a record eighth Small Brothel of the Year.  At the committee meeting held at the Annual Picnic it was decided that in future contests previous Courtesan of the Year winners would be ineligible.  The thought was that this would allow other deserving Courtesans to be recognized.  BOY and SBOY winners were still eligible for future contests.

In 2011, the Awards Committee conducted voting and selected awards for Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Small Brothel of the Year.  The committee consisted of Interested bystander, afriend, ex_okie, gimpyandlimpy, Hiking Guy, Little Richard, Logcabin, OldFatMan and sunseeker.  Sportsman hosted the Annual Banquet.  The CWMC 2010 Awards Courtesan of the Year winner was Lexy of the Chicken Ranch.  The Brothel of the Year award was presented to the Love Ranch (formerly Madame Kitty's Fantasy Ranch, Kitty's Cathouse, Miss Kitty's Pussycat Lounge, and Bunny Ranch 2).  The Small Brothel of the Year award was won by Inez's D&D in Elko.  Only Inez's was not in attendance so their SBOY Award was later presented at the brothel.

In 2012, the Awards Committee conducted voting and selected awards for CWMC 2011 Awards Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Small Brothel of the Year.  The committee consisted of Interested bystander, afriend, ex_okie, gimpyandlimpy, Hiking Guy, Little Richard, Logcabin, OldFatMan, and sunseeker.  Little Richard hosted the Annual Awards Banquet.  The Courtesan of the Year winner was Envy of Sheri's Ranch.  The Brothel of the Year went to Sheri's Ranch.  The Small Brothel of the Year was won by the Dovetail Ranch in Carlin.  All winners had a representative on hand to accept the awards.

Interested bystander became involved in CWMC Awards during 1998, and was the cwmcawards.com owner, administrator, webmaster, awards team advisor, and awards committee member for thirteen years before relinquishing the board in September 2015 due to health issues.  Interested bystander composed "A Short History of the CWMC Awards" for remembrance so the history would be preserved.  These Courtesans, Brothels and special recipients are the 1998 through 2014 "CWMC Award Winners by Year" who were honored and presented awards at the Annual Awards Banquets that IB recorded in chronological order for eternal praise and recognition.  IB and Sheri have continued to host the traditional Annual Picnic too.

In 2017, the Awards Committee conducted nominations in February, voting in March through April and selected awards for 2016 Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Rural brothel of the Year.  The committee consisted of firefighter, highdrive, Lecher, Little Richard, Mikey, and MrTShirt.  Mikey hosted his second Annual Awards Banquet.  All fifteen finalists, Alice Little, Coco, Kitti Minx, Rachel Varga, Victoria, Chicken Ranch, Love Ranch, Mustang Ranch, Sagebrush Ranch, Sheri's Ranch, Alien Cathouse, Desert Club, Dovetail Ranch, Inez's D&D and Mona's Ranch, were presented framed certificates, and the three winners, Rachel Varga, Mustang Ranch and Dovetail Ranch, were presented framed certificates plus Crystal Art Duet Flame Awards.  Rachel Varga of Mustang Ranch won Courtesan of the Year on her first nomination and first year in LPIN, Mustang Ranch won their fourth consecutive Brothel of the Year, and the Dovetail Ranch won their fifth Rural Brothel of the Year.  Rachel Varga and Madam Tara attended and accepted the COY and BOY awards respectively.  Lee delivered and presented the RBOY Award to Madam Monica at the Dovetail Ranch on Saturday following the Awards Banquet.  Mikey held a Hawaiian shirt contest and Dtech was the winner; Jade Capri donated the $50 prize and Dtech very generously donated it back to the awards committee fund.

The cwmcawards.com website was permanently shutdown on August 15, 2017 in preparation for termination.  Subsequently, the Awards Committee registered two domains and constructed two websites.  CWMC Awards, cwmcawards.net, was established to preserve the history of the awards.  LPIN Awards, lpinawards.com, was established to continue the awards contests.  The Awards Committee had permanently separated from SIN, so the decision was made to coordinate the awards contests under LPIN Awards.  There were multiple legitimate reasons for this decision.  LPIN Awards does not have an affiliation or relationship with any other organization, but CWMC Awards had a historic connection to SIN which the awards committee felt must be severed.  Also, the CWMC acronym carried an unsavory connotation that LPIN Awards does not possess.  LPIN Awards better defines the awards, and may be more socially acceptable while not being offensive to Courtesans.  LPIN Awards is totally separate and independent; therefore, registered voters are not required to be members of any other message board.  All LPIN Courtesans who worked during the award year (except previous winners) or Brothels that operated during the period would be eligible candidates.

The LPIN Awards Committee would like to acknowledge and thank Courtesan of the Year Rachel Varga for donating an exceptionally generous gift of professional web developer custom services to configure the LPIN Awards websites to awards committee specifications.  The Awards Committee would not have been able to administer a first-rate contest without Rachel Varga's contribution, and may not have been able to coordinate a 2017 contest period.  The LPIN Community owes Rachel a great debt of gratitude for her benevolence and generosity. 

In 2018, the LPIN 2017 Awards contest was coordinated with the Nomination Round in February 2018, the Preliminary Voting Round in March 2018, the Final Voting Round in April 2018, and the awards were presented at the LPIN Awards Banquet on July 20, 2018.  The LPIN Awards Committee conducted voting and selected awards for Courtesan of the Year, Brothel of the Year, and Rural Brothel of the Year.  The Official LPIN 2017 Awards Registered Voters List increased by 29 voters due largely to the fact that LPIN Awards is totally independent and not affiliated with any message board.  The committee consisted of firefighter, FumbleNutts, highdrive, Little Richard, Mikey and MrTShirt.  Mikey hosted the Annual Banquet for the third straight year, and it was promoted as the LPIN Awards Banquet to avoid confusion due to the proposed organization of a competitive awards contest.  All fifteen finalists, Lexie James, Roxy, Roxy Gold, Vanity Affair, Victoria, Chicken Ranch, Love Ranch, Mustang Ranch, Sagebrush Ranch, Sheri's Ranch, Desert Club, Dovetail Ranch, Inez's D&D, Love Ranch South and Mona's Ranch, were presented framed finalist certificates, and the three winners, Roxy, Mustang Ranch and Dovetail Ranch, were presented framed winner certificates plus Crystal Art Triad Flame Awards.
