She stands only 5 feet tall and weighs just 98 pounds, but this pint-sized powerhouse really packs a punch. Taya Parker stands tall, and her dynamic 32DD-22-32 measurements landed her a dream come true performing on The Strip. But just as stardom got underway as the singer, dancer and headliner in the new show Striptease at the Sahara, an unexpected hiccup halted her plans.

But the brown-eyed brunette is vowing: “You certainly haven’t seen the last of me!” Fortunately, there’s already been a lot to see of her. She was the 2009 Penthouse Pet of the Year, January 2008 Penthouse Pet of the Month and was on the December 2010 cover again — one of seven in all.

Striptease the Show has found a surefire way to enhance the already overwhelming appeal of a topless act: Cast 2009 Pet of the Year Taya Parker as the host. Taya heads up a titillating troupe of three other stars, six sexy backup dancers, and “one very lucky guy.” The headliners are all renowned striptease artists: Taya, of course, was also Exotic Dancer’s 2007–08 Entertainer of the Year, our January 2008 Pet of the Month, and the last woman standing on VH1’s Rock of Love Bus With Bret Michaels; Nina Mercedez is a well-known porn star who recently was named Latina of the Decade; Tali De’Mar is a burlesque dancer and nominee for Exotic Dancer magazine’s Entertainer of the Year; and Aspen Reign won the 2008 Penthouse Gold G-String Award and is the only fourtime winner of the Miss Nude World competition.

“We had a long and short list of talent we were considering, and Taya Parker’s name kept coming up,” producer Ann Marie Hayek told us. “We knew without a doubt she was a great choice to host the show. Her outgoing, fun, and friendly personality is exactly what we were looking for. She’s stunningly beautiful and incredibly sexy, and we’re damn lucky to have her as our host.”

Taya, who’s fresh out of the recording studio—her dance single “Nothin’ to Lose” is available on iTunes, and will be used during her performances in Striptease—filled us in on her new gig. “I’m extremely excited about this new opportunity,” the short but stacked beauty said. “Adding the title of Las Vegas showgirl to my résumé is beyond my wildest dreams! It’s always refreshing to do something that pushes the envelope.”

Push the envelope she does, taking the arts of burlesque and striptease to entirely new artistic heights, as do her costars. The curtain rises on a stage full of wrapped presents, and as the show progresses, the gifts are opened to reveal different facets of the Striptease experience. The real gift, naturally, is the entire show, which combines the glamour and elegance of an old-fashioned Las Vegas revue with the stylish and sensual eroticism you expect from a Penthouse Pet. Elaborate sets are combined with unique props and the requisite sparkle and shine to create an alluring show that’s perfect for a late-night adult audience.

During Taya’s solo segment in the extravaganza, she enters on a chariot, flanked by beautiful dancers. After her “slave,” Alin Campan, escorts her out, he’s left to watch from the sidelines as the petite Pet seduces the crowd with her erotic choreography. He falls under her spell along with the audience, resulting in an athletic pas de deux that will keep pulses pounding. Taya then entrances attendees further with a sultry dance using long white “silks” that hang from the ceiling.

The other performers are equally compelling. Nina Mercedez plays the part of a sizzling diva, turning up the heat in the Sahara and leaving patrons thirsty for more. Tali De’Mar, a fiery redhead who truly turns stripping into art, slowly and sensually removes each piece of her costume in one of the most jaw-dropping performances on the Strip.

Then there’s Aspen Reign. Her “Amadeus” number is an updated version of the routine that helped her win the Penthouse Gold G-String Award; she plays the role of a modern-day, sexedup Marie Antoinette with perfect style and grace. “When I started my feature-dancing career, this is definitely what I was working toward,” she said. “I wanted to go to the top, and the top, in my eyes, is Las Vegas. The fact that I get to perform my ‘Amadeus’ routine only makes it more special. I came up with that especially for the Gold G-String contest, so it’s very dear to my heart. The icing on the cake is that I get to molest Taya every night!”

We’ll let Taya have the last word: “Between the cutting-edge choreography, the fantastic dancers, the props, the sets, and, of course, my beautiful and fabulous coheadliners, I really think Striptease the Show is not to be missed.” We couldn’t agree more.

2009 Penthouse Pet of the Year, Taya Parker, visits The Danny Bonaduce Show aka Club Bone-Aduce.

Penthouse recently teamed up with PURE Management Group to host a nationwide model search at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas, with none other than 2009 Pet of the Year Taya Parker and 2010 Pet of the Year Taylor Vixen hosting and acting as judges. Dozens of girls converged on the club to take part in preliminary contests in November and December, with the top scorers returning earlier this month for a final round of competition. The model hopefuls had to pose, dance, and answer questions from judges, all while a live, enthusiastic audience cheered them on.

But impressing the audience was only half the battle. They also had to impress the Pets. “I’ve always thought it would be cool to pick the models for Penthouse,” Taylor says. “Talk about a great job!” And what did the Pet of the Year think of the potential Penthouse models? “I was really taken with the girls,” she tells us. “It was very hard to decide on a winner.”

The lucky lady gets a photo shoot with a Penthouse photographer, and could end up in the magazine alongside the very Pets who helped pick her. We’ll keep you posted.
