YNOT – Adult veteran Sunset Thomas, runner-up for Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1998 and a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, has signed on to perform what may become a recurring mainstream television role if a network picks up the pilot episode of reality series The Kids in the Candy Store.

According to the show’s website, “the audience will explore the fascinating world of exotic dancers and their fans. We will live the lives of this unique blend of talent, passion and beauty. No script can capture the relationship these vixens have with themselves, the Candy Store and their precious clientele.”

The producers hope the show “will change the way America sees this unique billion-dollar entertainment venue.”

Filming is scheduled to begin Jan. 21 at the Candy Store Show Lounge in Phoenix. In addition to her role in front of the cameras, Thomas also is scheduled to perform onstage as part of the evening’s events. Members of the public are invited to attend.

“I’m excited to be part of this project,” said Thomas, who also serves as a technical consultant for the show. “Having partnered in a couple of adult cabarets and having been a feature dancer for many years, I have a unique insider’s perspective of the strip club business. In The Kids in the Candy Store, I’m playing the house mom…so I guess I’ve officially reached MILF status.”
