The ANME Founders show was awesome and I got to see a lot of the newest things on the market and some of those that have yet to arrive! And I met someone totally (nerdy) cool, see last paragraphs!
On my way inside I was excited to see the awesome Kevin of Pipedream Products and he helped me find the door like a perfect gentleman! Inside, I met up with Roylin of Kama Sutra Closet, and her lovely assistant – Roxy. They toured me around the show, giving me introductions on her favorite things and her favorite peoples. We got to play with some of the new products that We-Vibe is coming out with, which was awesome. They have some really nice and powerful bullets that are worth their weight in power. Because they are rechargeable, they will automatically put out more *oomph* than all of those bullets with watch batteries and “n” batteries. (Those things horrify me!) The Salsa Bullet will be replacing those plastic bullets that you may currently have inserted into your toys. The Touch and the Tango are complete stand-alones because they curved and contoured in just the right places. Hope to get my hands on these new goodies! In the meantime, I was sent home with a Ruby We-Vibe II. Hot stuff!
Nearby, at Shunga, we had fun and laughs about the sexy slip-n-slide product that I’ve never seen before. You’ll get to see that review when it’s ready. (As I understand – you and your love build a plastic sheeted area on your bed that will be fully lubed up and you have crazy slippery sex all over the place…sounds like an awesome night of funny, physical fun!) I was told by the folks at Screaming-O, on twitter, to stop by and try something out. Curiously, I stopped by their booth and the nice girl said “did you want it with or without vodka?” My eyes widened and I thought to myself…What the? “With!” So she mixed me a drink and had me taste it, which was pretty fruity and nice. I asked her what it was – it ends up that I was drinking a female “boner drink”, as I call it. (One of those shots of sexual pump-you-ups that you often see in sex shops.) Wow, that cracked me up and I ended up exploring the rest of the show with a little more excitement – *vodka!* and some rosy cheeks.
Over at Hustler’s booth they had a beautiful Kristin-Made display, once again. This chick is an amazing decorator. I loved the glass bowl full of their RoseBud Cock Rings. All the ladies were sporting a sexy cock ring-ring throughout the showrooms. Such a perfect way to advertise! My favorite thing that they brought to the show was their DareDevil Kegel Balls! This cute piece has a pointy devil tail! After I wandered around for a while, I had an appointment over at California Exotic Novelties in the center of the showroom. I met up with Steve, from marketing and he toured me around their space that housed hundreds of new products. Of course, I gravitated towards Jopen and made some new loves in the purple majestic line of products. I think, at this point, the vodka was fused with my blood because I was telling him that a certain toy looked like the Tremors from the Kevin Bacon movies, haha. All in all, it was nice of him to show me around, introduce me to Al Bloom and he even sent me on my way with some goodies to blog about. (One being a Jopen! *gasp*) Thanks again, Steve! 
Over at Fun Factory’s booth, they were showing a new toy. Now, I’m not sure if I can talk about it so I will just give a few details. (Actually, I found it online, so I guess I can talk about it!) It’s called the Yooo. As in, I Love Yooo! This thing is related to their bubbles vibe and it’s an external toy. It’s cute and it can also be used internally with some maneuvering. You’ll know when you see it! Not sure when it comes out, but it’s cute! Next, we stopped over at the Kama Sutra booth. Wow, they had everything displayed like a well-faced, shelved display. We had lots of fun in their booth! Trying, tasting, rubbing and smelling all of their newest delights. You’ll be seeing some awesome stuff from them on the blog pretty soon! They even have Oral Lip gloss! How awesome is that? I’ll have to tell you when I find out! (Some very sweet people over there in Kama Sutra Land.) Now, you’d think that we were lubed up enough after visiting that booth, but no. I guess we needed more, haha. We stopped over and checked out the new Pink lubes. I just became a fan of the Pink lube when I felt their newest, it’s called “Indulgence”. Awesome stuff, you’ll see a review of that and a review of their men’s line – Gun Oil. My husband loves his Gun Oil lube, and now we have a new water-based gel lube to try out. Love it!
When we reached the other event hall, I was really excited to see the Jimmyjane Form 4. But first, I had to say hello to my new peeps over at GoodVibes! It was fun to meet some faces behind the company that I’ve done reviews for. They are also a couple of hilarious peoples to boot! Now, over at Jimmyjane, I snuck a peak at the Form 4! I can tell you that I’m still going to love my Form 2 more than the Form 4, but I’m excited to see how it works and feels when the time comes. It’s due for release in April. I will only say that it’s an internal vibe and you can use your imagination from there. I love the anticipation of waiting for their new Forms to be released because they are such a creative brand and they always want to put things out there for us to play with that haven’t been done before.
Next door was the Liberator and Tenga booth. I love the Tenga Flip Hole and I’m not even a guy. They are bringing their new Flip Hole Lite to market very soon. I’m waiting with anticipation. New textures, a new size, a different closure and it’s made to travel easier. Hurry up, Tenga! Oh man, as far as Liberator goes, it was a crackup to watch the ladies jump right in and play with the new furniture. Then we swapped funny stories about when a cop used my liberator ramp to write a police report on, and so on. Cute stuff! LELO’s booth was next after that. I loved the complimentary ONO back massage. That Cleo vibrator looked pretty versatile! We had fun talking about how deep our “loves” were, and we established who the shortie in the group was. They were there to show everyone the trio, the Insignia line and let people get a hands-on presentation of how the toys work. I was sent home with the Isla, so that shall complete my trio and you will hear what the scoop is on the Isla when that review is up.
Over on the other side of the room, we made our way to the Hott Products booth. I had to take another look at my Pleasure Dome. That toy is so simple, so affordable and it really packs a punch. Thank you, Amy, for being so hospitable again! While we were checking out the Hott Products, a sweet woman snuck up and said hello. Roylin introduced me to Jessica, who is from Mystim! Sweet German woman who is bringing some sexy stimulants over to KamaSutraCloset.com to learn about. I am very excited about my future electrical endeavors. Kinky, huh? Now, on a side note, have you heard of Papaya? (The line of vibes with sweet, soft colors and cute twists and twirls?) Well, I got to meet up with Pam, who is the owner and she set me up with some sweet delights to check out, too. You need to check out her site, if you haven’t already. It looks as sweet as those vibrators do! The extensive Topco Sales was there in a very ornate booth that looked really neat with iron-swirl doors and walls. They really do tradeshows lavishly. But I miss the Circus Tent from last time!
Okay, are you ready? I saved the best for last. I met The Professor!!! Wow! If you don’t know who I am talking about, then you need to watch more LoveHoney videos. He was hiding in the corner of the LoveHoney booth, after being exhausted by fans at the show. Of course, I couldn’t see the Sliquid being showed to me because I kept asking softly “is that the Professor?…” Haha. That was great. Sex Toy Nerd Find of the day! The other awesome gentlemen in the booth told me about a very special toy that they offer over at LoveHoney.co.uk, I’m not even going to tell you what it’s called until I know that I have it secured. This thing will probably be too overwhelming for most, which is why it will be perfect for being crowned a Pretty Power Tool. Fingers crossed, ladies and gents! (Because it’s built for both.)
Wow. I had a lot of fun at ANME, once again. I didn’t get to see it all, but it still rocked. It was full of awesome people, professionals from all corners of the world, kinda. And it housed so much pleasure. I had a small headache brewing on the freeway towards home, so I turned on my Hustler cock ring-ring and held it against my head while driving. Perfect! When I got home, I had to tell my husband that I met the Professor and all he had to say was “you’re such a starfucker”. Thanks Honey. And thank you, ANME Founders, for having me back.
