Erotic Cabaret Inc.
Established in 1982 in Houston, Texas, Erotic Cabaret Boutique was the first sexy lingerie store in Houston and one of the first in the nation to sell thong underwear and latex infused clothing and lace. It also established a genre of retail that included adult costumes and accessories catering to the exotic dancer industry of the time, a descendant of the Burlesque or Cabaret era and the beginning of modern day topless dancing. This store established itself within the mainstream of retail, eventually appealing to the masses that would accept more risque fashion both in and outside of the bedroom.

The name for this business came from an album "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret", the debut album by English synthpop duo Soft Cell, released in the United Kingdom on 27 November 1981[1][2] by Some Bizzare Records. The album's critical and commercial success was bolstered by the worldwide success of its single "Tainted Love", a cover version of a soul song by Gloria Jones, which topped charts worldwide and became the best-selling British single of 1981 in the United States—as a result of the single's success the album had reported advance orders of more than 200,000 copies.[2] The album produced two more top five singles in the UK with "Bedsitter" and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye".
