2012 XBIZ EU – London begins

Sunday, September 16th, 2012

The 2012 XBIZ EU, London began today, and I have to admit, of the three shows going on over the next week or so, the London show is the one I am going to miss the most. That is right, for the first time since 2007 I am not coming to the European shows. As I watch all the status updates on Facebook I was drawn to looking at my photos from last year. When I looked at the XBIZ schedule of events I knew I had to recommend that those of you still in town on Wednesday take advantage of the trip to the London Eye. It is a lot of fun and a great view, if weather is permitting. It was great last year.

Here are a few photos of the sights around London, and many are within walking distance of the hotel. If you would like to see all the photos from the 2011 XBIZ EU, just click here. (more…)

2012 National Go Topless Day at Venice Beach

Monday, August 27th, 2012

Sunday was the 5th Annual National Go Topless Day was held in cities around the world, including Venice Beach, CA. I was there last year and it seemed to me like there were fewer people this year. Perhaps it was the lack of counter-protesters this year; less commotion resulted in fewer participants. There were definitely impromptu participants, so I suspect my theory is correct.

People asked me what this is all about, and this is what it boils down to; nipples. For some reason, if women wear those little pasties that look like a nipple they are not violating any laws; if the nipple is bare, then the woman is subject to arrest and in some cases could be forced to register as a sex offender. All for a couple square inches of flesh. Interesting, huh? Enjoy the photos, and I will return next year. (more…)

Dating Factory at iDate LA 2012

Thursday, June 21st, 2012

Yesterday, I headed out to Beverly Hills to record the Dating Factory Partnership Conference which was held in conjunction with iDate 2012, which is billed as the largest conference in the online dating industry. Since Dating Factory is a Silver Sponsor they took the opportunity to come in a day early and have a presentation to explain to their partners how Dating Factory works, and why you should give them a try.

Since I attend a lot of adult related trade shows, I have the advantage of meeting many of the movers and shakers of the industry and I get to listen to lots of seminars and sales presentations. I am also approached by many affiliate programs asking me to promote their product here. If you are a regular visitor here, you know that does not happen. I may promote ASACP, RTA and the FSC, but I have never found an affiliate program that I would urge people to promote. That is about to change . . . a little. (more…)
