G-Unit Santa and his helpers, Francheska, left, and Kimiko, set the mood at the door for "X-Rated X-Mas," the final Piranha Room party of 2006, at the Ocean Club on Saturday. The "X-Rated" theme was represented by a late-evening lingerie fashion show and go-go dancers performing in 100 percent street-legal attire. Santa's arm tattoo was applied using traditional Samoan methods; the fish scales on his shoulder and chest, with Western tattoo equipment. CLICK FOR LARGE
