A New Innovation
One of the products that stands out to me from this year's AVN Novelty Expo would have to be "Ola" from Minna Life, hailing from San Francisco. This little pleasure object is an innovative product I haven't seen yet.
That top end you see in the photo is actually "squeeze-responsive" -- the harder you squeeze the silicone bulb, the more intense the vibration. Yep. The bulb responds even to a light squeeze. What makes this even better is that you can also record your favorite vibrational patterns so you can lock the pattern in without worrying about how much you squeeze the bulb. So basically, you get to make a customized vibrational mode with this product.
Ola is silicone, waterproof, and rechargeable. Both ends are insertable so the user gets to play around with either the firm end or the softer end. I can tell you that this toy does have a wonderfully smooth touch to it. I had trouble letting it go. In fact, I kept trying to steal it, though doing it right in front of the men behind the company didn't help me get away with it. :-p
Ola is available in the purple you see in the photo and pink. Ola also isn't available to buy just yet either, but good news is that Babeland will have it exclusively for the month of August with a retail of approximately $165. After that, it will be available elsewhere. So you will be able to get your hands on this gorgeous piece in just a few weeks.
I waaaaaant! Ya know, for research purposes of course. Anyone wanna send me one? ;-)

Arrival night at ANE 2011
I arrived at LAX around noon yesterday for the AVN Novelty Show, where I got to meet Radio Dentata and Shellie from Crystal Delights Toys for the first time after tweeting back and forth.
After Papaya Pam picked us up and drove thru the insane LA traffic, we were at the Pasadena Sheraton, right next to the Convention Center.
We hit up the exhibition hall where booth set up was happening, grabbed lunch, and back to the booths we went. It's always great to see familiar faces as they come in cuz to me, it's like summer camp. And then to see the booth set-up process that people go thru, it's pretty cool.
Here are some of Crystal Delights Toys' pieces. Aren't they gorgeous?
Our evening ended with just over 3 hours of gift bag assembly for the "O" Awards Post-Party, hosted by Papaya Toys, 300 gift bags looks a little like this...

ANE 2011
So it's official... I'll be attending the AVN Adult Novelty Expo in Pasadena! Flight is booked and I have floor space to crash on. I can't believe I'm going! But I've decided that I have to be there.
I attended last year's event (that whole car accident right before I had to drive to Miami. yes, drive) and it was an eye-opener because I met some amazing people behind some of the brands that For Your Pleasure carries, made some great connections, saw some awesome products, and learned a ton.
This year's event is going to be different. They've invited reviewers, bloggers, sex educators and the like to come out and mingle with the manufacturers and such. I'm so happy.
It's great that people understand how important folks on the frontlines play a big role in getting those products sold. These are folks who talk. We learn about the materials and soak in other information so we can go out there and TALK about products the manufacturers are coming out with. I feel as if the public wants to be more educated about what they're putting on and in their bodies and that's where we come into play.
I think that the better educated my customers are, the more empowered they are. They'll be able to select a product a little easier... or at least narrow it down. I'm here to help them. I like to say that I'm like a personal shopper for toys instead of clothes.
Of course I'd love it if every customer would buy the $150 toy, but if in all honesty, it's not the best product for them from what they tell me they're looking for, I'll help them select something else. And when they're happy with the first piece, they'll come back for that $150 toy. I don't want my customers wasting money on something they'll never use and/or get pleasure from. I'm in the business of pleasure and I want them to be happy.
So anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting some of the awesome sex educators I've heard about and sharing some great information while I soak in what I can. The seminars are looking pretty sweet!
And, I'm feeling really grateful that there are folks who are excited that I've decided to come out. It's nice to be wanted, ya know?
