Yes aj-strictlybroadband but the opening day is the press day so they are not likely to kick anyones arse out are they, i will be there on Saturday i will slip my little camera in me pocket and try and sneak a few shots, will you aj- be in attendance i will make myself known to you if you are i will be the one with the Box Brownie still your to young to remember them.

Planeterotica -

Yes, true - I didn't think about the press day thing. Still, there's also going to be many 'official' photogs taking photos of the girls whenever they get their kits off and such a mob of onlookers that a flashless photo certainly won't be noticed!

We'll keep a careful eye out, we don't want people kicked out for photographing their porn idols!

And yes, I'm there every day on our stand, do come and say hi, although I have no idea what a Box Brownie is! You can't miss me, I don't look like a porn star but I'm quite distinctive.

Yes i have seen the odd pic of you aj- so i will probably reckonise you we almost share the same hairstyle but i suspect yours is by consent wheras mine is by nature, it would be nice to have a chat if only briefly.

Thank god for SB today... The only stand to have adult models....

The brand new Faye looks absolutely amazing and what a little doll Poppy Morgan is.. Great looking and great personality.. She should post here more often

As for camera's etc... They have a whole new team doing security.. The way to get press passes has changed, and we all have to register in advance.. There were very few using their phone cams, and I noticed they did come on the stands to ask first as I've said before.

I can only say that getting to the show at 4pm, there were very few press there and the show is a lot smaller.. The stands are spread out a lot more. I mentioned this to the organiser and he said that space taken, was up 50%. Faye heard him say that and looked at me amazed he could tell such a lie The trade area was dead of stands and customers... The gallery is almost empty of stands, where in the past it's been full...

So No LiveXXX stand and so a lot less girls. In fact.. there are hardly any anywhere. Today is the day being "Press Day," when there should have been more than normal. Koko Li is also working there but most of the girls on the stands look as if they just do clothed glamour work

So to end this first day report .. I didn't take one pic which shows how quiet it is

Well i will be there on Saturday JoeA and if it hasnt livened up by then i wil get my kit off thats not a threat its a promise, and i promise it will not be eye candy.

Erotica stopped being of interest to us about 3 years ago when the invasion of of the swamp donkeys took place and the girl next door actually believed she looked good in latex and lycra.

For the webmasters its a great place to get their url's banded around to a potential audience and for the swinging/ fetish/ sex toy gang it's also a great outlet.

Aqua marine also do a storm with their anti harpoon vests for the larger burger munching whoolyrhinosapie wearing latex and lycra

Well the press access was "potentially" possible on ALL days of the show, as We was planning the saturday as we do every year, and press access was an option, However it was only for National Press (The Sun, Star Etc) or High Profile Companys etc etc...

The general feeling was that last year they gave 100s of free tickets and press pass each day, and the actual news paper coverage was dismal, so they clamped down ALOT.

The owner and organiser seemed like a really cool guy, my side kick spoke to him for a while and he was cool and may be working on something but enough about that

As for the girls, ALOT of the models was confused by security who told them NO POSING FOR PHOTOS and alot didnt know Photo Press was ALLOWED to and Press was not, so even with my photo press pass it was hard explaining that i was ok but the people without was NOT allowed, so ugh.

The Trade Area was a bit of a hassle getting into at first but then going to speak to the organisers they was cool and gave us access

There was a distinct lack of hot women, Altho my tastes are more AJ-StrictlyBroadband of which there was VERY VERY VERY fre of them, but Faye as always a pleasure, Poppy Morgan soooooo didnt look like her pics of vids, and since PlanetErotica is now modelling i figured id give Jerry a mention too , bumped into Joe A as well who can so go in here with the models Shake that Ass Joe

The security was indeed rather militant this year, so the point where i was ID'd for photo pass about 15 times when i lost count, the trade area was pretty tight to get into but the security was pretty helpful in sorting us out and pointing us in the right direction.

Nice to be mentioned among the hot women. I've been promoted!

It was great to be surrounded by so many gorgeous models for 4 days. I felt like a kid in a candy store.

Erotica? Hmmm, not a vintage year in my book.
Yes the girls from Strictly Broadband were stunning, but apart from them?
Well, I saw Dionne from Babestation, LDM, a couple of up and coming glamour models I recognised and that was it!
Oh, and the "Booby Sisters" (Tania Amazon and Laura Hawkins plugging their v soft boob-fetish DVD) whose stand had disappeared by Saturday.
The 'R18 Video Village' consisted of one Harmony stand and one other adult video stand - that was it.
Agree with your comments about its being generally empty overall, especially the gallery. And this might explain why it didn't seem as busy as previous years.
Thank heavens for Jim's Albion gathering afterwards, I really felt it made the day worthwhile.
Jim, you're a gem, as ever...
I know all the rumours about the owners wanting to make it more lifestyle and fetish orientated than 'adult' per se... but I hope it doesn't kill the event off in the way that I fear, for instance, the Max Power car show's change of direction is killing that too.
