Exxxotica 2009

                                                             Wicked Booth

The  first  day of the  show  hearing  from other  vendors that this year  turn out from vendors was  much small than last year and that they  still where have  trouble  with  people  trying to stop the  show entirely. Which of  course makes one  wonder if it's  worth  the  commute hour and a half  from NYC Penn Station. Isolated  from everything, it  still faced problems  from the  naysayers and the negativity from the local  news  media. One local  news  station even label their  segment "Porn Problem" igniting the  flames of the all  hypocrites who watch porn behind  their darkened windows and closed doors.

Unlike  the Adult Entertainment  Expo, where  one wants to get there  early  for the  ribbon  cutting and  to avoid the  crowds, one  didn't  need to get there early the  first  day being that it  was  dead till late afternoon  when the ladies  came in around  four o'clock. There were  some booths with  very  little  activity while others were still setting up.

Everything came to life  as  excepted after I did my interview with the newest addition to the Vivid family AJ Bailey, who I will say is  very  real in all sense of the word as  wasn't afraid to  speak her mind  during  the interview which you can  read  on my next blog posting.

Even though the show is much a  smaller  scale in  comparison to the AEE held in Las Vegas , it was a  welcomed pleasure to have an  Adult  show here in the East Coast were fans can  meet the ladies  whom are the  subject of their  wet  dreams and  sexual fantasies.

My  photographer Eddie, had a great time at the show especially  when I  introduce him to the ladies as  the  show  virgin and  was  made to blush  several times by Vivid's Megan Mallone, Teri Weigel, Courtney Cummz and Wicked's  Jessica Drake who   has an  open invitation to dinner at Xcritic's Don Houston's  home  the  few  days  that  we  will be visiting Don sometime  next year.

My only  two  minor gripes are the  autograph brokers that  clog up the lines  having the ladies  signing numerous  amounts of pictures and  magazines for  five  bucks a pop and  selling them on EBAY for more than  they paid. The other was not  enough male performers  attended the  show to satisfy this  female show  goer, even though one of my  favorites was there Mr. Marcus.

Alex(Monstar) Raymond who worked hard with others  putting the  show together took  time  explain  why the men  don't  do the shows  but  hopefully next year he  can  convince  some of the  men to  do  both  shows  the one in Miami and NY/NJ.

For those that   did  attend the  remaining two days of the  show, they got to  meet and take pictures with the  ladies  that  were not in attendance on Friday and had a  great time from what I saw in pictures from acquaintances that attended.You can  check out the  rest of the pictures from the show here .Hopefully next year there  will be more  adult  vendors as well as more adult companies involved  making  for an  even better turn out  for  everyone.
