LOS ANGELES CA / FAYETTEVILLE NC – Did it all start with Bizet? After all, the French composer and pianist of the Romantic era gave us “Carmen,” arguably the most beloved opera in the world. His timeless work is a hymn to the many charms of the mysterious dancer known only as “Carmen,” who beguiles everyone in her path with her sheer beauty and hypnotic moves. While all this has given musical sophisticates plenty to chew on for the last two centuries (including MTV’s Carmen: A Hip Hopera, starring Beyoncé), it looks like the new millennium belongs to an exotic, dancing “Carmen” of a radically different stripe, as multiple award-winning feature entertainer and Wicked Pictures contract girl Carmen Hart is currently racking up trophies across the nation with her intoxicating gyrations.

None of this comes as any surprise to her fans, since she’s been steadily taking top honors by winning titles like Best Dancer in Colorado’s 2005 Feature Blast Showcase, and Hottest Stage Personality in Rhode Island’s 2005 Feature Showcase Extravaganza.

Earlier this year, Carmen stunned pageant goers when she dominated the Miss Nude 2006 Competition, winning the coveted title and also grabbing honors in the Best Body and Best Dancer categories. And just last week, she floored audiences yet again by winning the title trophy at the Miss Exotic International 2007 pageant.

Ladies and gentlemen, Carmen Hart has arrived.

Always ready for the next challenge, Stunner Number One is currently breaking hearts and attendance records as she holds court at the 2007 Exotic Performer Of The Year competition raging now through Saturday in Ms. Hart’s home state of North Carolina.

Promoted as “a competition to bring out the best of the best,” the contest is being held at Mickey’s, 5121 Bragg Boulevard in Fayetteville. For venue information and driving directions, please contact the club directly at 910-868-2043. The hostesses for the event are Jada DeVille and the winner of last year’s event, Jennifer Worthington.

In Bizet’s masterwork, Carmen doesn’t need to chase men, they run after her, pulled in like moths to the flame by her sinewy perfection and intoxicating moves. Nearly 200 years later, the magnificent Carmen Hart is taking centerstage this week to prove once again that great natural beauty, like all great art, is immortal.
