Adult film company draws "Wild" crowd

Commerce residents, A&M-Commerce students and others went out to The Rail Bar and Grill Thursday night to check out the "foam party" event that was being put on by the adult film company, "Girls Gone Wild."

Despite some initial shock and disbelief from residents, the "Girls Gone Wild" crew saw a turnout of at least 200 people for their event. The event was a "foam party," which consisted of flooding The Rail's dance floor with a pool of soapy suds a few feet deep.

Some people in attendance, like Commerce resident Dianna Holt, were originally skeptical of the legitimacy of the event but still came out nonetheless.

"Everyone thought it was going to be an April Fool's joke but I drove by The Rail and the bus was actually here," Holt said. "I mean how often does ‘Girls Gone Wild' happen in Commerce? So I had to come up here just to see it."

As the main attraction of the evening, the "foam party" provided a bit of entertainment for Holt, who spent a short time dancing amidst the foam.

"It was actually a lot of fun," Holt said. "I've never been in a ‘foam party' before. Glad to say that I got to participate."

Despite having her share of fun, Holt was disappointed when she tried to fling some foam off her arm and accidentally threw her $6000 wedding ring off into the foam. The ring was recovered late the next morning.

For some, this event was a new experience to have under their belt. For others, like junior business major Ricky Callentine, Thursday night's event did not quite measure up to previous experiences.

"It's kinda lame," Callentine said. "But I knew it was going to be lame cause I've been to a ‘Girls Gone Wild' party before."

About an hour into the event, the crew of "Girls Gone Wild" brought out their own official cameras and walked throughout the bar, encouraging patrons to "go wild."

Per a company-wide policy, the members of the "Girls Gone Wild" crew were not allowed to make any statement on the events of the evening. However, one crew member was able to debunk the rumor that "Girls Gone Wild" would be paying a visit to sorority houses on campus.
