EXXXOTICA New Jersey, presented by Hotmovies.com, staked its
claim as the most popular love and sex fan expo in the nation
with a record-setting weekend in Edison, NJ. Victory Tradeshow
Management reports over 28,000 attendees attended the expo,
which ran at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center, November

“Year after year, people from the Tri-State metropolitan area
and the East Coast welcome our expo,” stated J. Handy, Director
of Victory Tradeshow Management. “We took the show to the next
level this year with an incredible lineup of stars, events,
exhibitors, shows, seminars and more. The positive consumer
response was unprecedented. EXXXOTICA is more than the nation’s
most popular love and sex expo — it’s one of the most popular
expos of any nature. With a commitment to quality and high
production values, we expect increasing success every year.”
EXXXOTICA New Jersey is the thirteenth show produced by the love
and sex expo. EXXXOTICA’s first three expos in 2011 drew over
65,000 people, while the New Jersey expo topped off a record
setting year for the traveling adult expo’s record-setting
year. Nearly 100,000 people attended EXXXOTICA in 2011.
EXXXOTICA New Jersey made national headlines in 2008. The show
was set to debut in the Northern New Jersey city of Secaucus,
but four days before its opening, city officials, led by the
city’s former mayor Dennis Elwell (who was recently found guilty
of bribery in an unrelated case), and management from the venue,
abruptly canceled the event, forcing a last minute location
change down the New Jersey Turnpike. For the past four years,
EXXXOTICA New Jersey has instead made Edison, N.J. its home with
four successful shows in the books.
The lawsuit with the town of Secaucus over the cancelation was
recently settled (while additional cases against the convention
center there, among others, remains in litigation) once again
drawing EXXXOTICA New Jersey into the headlines.
The 2011 expo in Edison began with Friday’s Ladies Free Night.
Lines of women listened to seminars on relationships, cheered
for MEN, an all male revue and host of other shows on the AEBN
Entertainment Stage, and shopped at erotic themed vendors.
Visual treats included aerial acrobatics from adult superstars
Belladonna and Stoya, as well as burlesque shows from Pretty
Things Peep Show, Rubberdoll, Rigor Mortis Revue, and more.
Additional highlights of the show included the appearance of
Chyna, mainstream wrestling champion and star of “Celebrity
Rehab with Dr. Drew” and the first East Coast public appearance
by Seymore Butts in close to a decade. Butts, the legendary
adult performer and star of the popular Showtime reality series
“Family Business,” promoted his new and critically acclaimed
book, “Rock Her World: The Sex Guide for the Modern Man,” with a
seminar. Over 150 more celebrities drew fans by the thousands
to EXXXOTICA.
EXXXOTICA’s Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/CelebrateSexy) is
packed with comments left by ecstatic consumers. Carol Johnson
wrote, “Had a great time! Can’t wait until next year! Thanks
for a great event!” “I had so much fun!” added Sarah Betros.
“I had a blast with my two friends [and] can’t wait for next
year!” Bill Marsh observed, “I can’t believe it. We just left
at 8:30 and not only is the parking lot packed, but people are
still [coming] in! Great job….See you all next year!”
Exhibitors reaped the rewards of the increased attendance. Dan
Loevy, content manager for expo sponsor HotMovies.com and
Clips.com, said, “Each year, EXXXOTICA New Jersey raises the bar
and exceeds our expectations, and this year was no exceptions!
The EXXXOTICA crew went above and beyond in their quest to help
us get our brand out to fans, so much so, the HotMovies and
EXXXOTICA names practically go hand in hand. We couldn’t ask
for a better bunch of guys and gals to work with or a better
show to sponsor.”
Loevy continued, “The crowds were huge! Everything ran like
clockwork, giving us the freedom to focus our energies on
showing the fans a great time and allowing us the ability to
solidify existing relationships with other players in the
industry, as well as create new relationships within the
community.”
Dan Davis, editor-in-chief of the expo-sponsoring CLUB magazine,
said, “Thank you to all of the stars and the fans who made CLUB
Spotlight the must-see destination on the show floor. Over 25
stars and thousands of fans were at the booth, and it was
definitely our strongest and sexiest lineup ever, making 2011’s
EXXXOTICA New Jersey the best show we’ve ever been involved in.
Thank you once again.”
The sexiest cars in the world gathered at EXXXOTICA New Jersey
as part of The Exotic Car and Bike Show. Prizes were awarded
for a wide variety of classes and categories. Elite Streetz
Stuntin & Stylin DVD Magazine, Carlisle Performance & Sound, and
promotional businesses sponsored the show. More information is
available at http://TheExoticCarShow.com. Also on the expo’s
floor were movie cars, including one of the DeLorean’s from Back
to the Future (complete with a Marty McFly lookalike) and the
Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo.
The fun didn’t end at the convention center though, as the
nights of EXXXOTICA heated up on both sides of the Hudson
River. Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club in NYC featured two nights of
star-studded line-ups on their stage, with both hosted by Chyna.
Friday featured Mary Carey, Kagney Linn Karter and Melanie Rios,
and Saturday had Allie Haze, Kirsten Price, Breanne Benson and
Courtney Cummz doing their thing. New Jersey’s Bourbon Street
featured the “Deviant” duo of Alexis Texas and Teagan Presley,
and the expo’s official hotel, the Sheraton Edison hosted a trio
of events all weekend. Friday night was the “Back to Jerzey”
Official VIP After Party, hosted by Gianna Michaels and Ron
Jeremy, with DJ Licious spinning the tunes once again. Gianna
cruised up to the hotel in one of the DeLoreans from the Back to
the Future movies with a Marty McFly lookalike, which was
captured by a sea of media. Saturday night, an “Alan” lookalike
greeted fans and VIPs who attended The Hangover XXX After Party
hosted by Digital Playground contract star Riley Steele, and the
legendary Lisa Ann. Select party-goers were handed cameras to
catch the evening’s events (in case steps needed to be
retraced), and the popular NJ band, The Replicants cranked out
the tunes for the sold out crowd containing a who’s who of the
adult industry. Sunday night, Joe Trivia presented “Are You
Smarter Than a Porn Star?” trivia where hostesses Tasha Reign
and Kagney Linn Karter of LA Direct Models showed off their
knowledge. Then a plethora of stars took part in Porn Star
Karaoke for the show’s official wrap party concluding the over
36 hours of non-stop entertainment and parties composing
EXXXOTICA New Jersey.
