About: I’m the pink haired maven/Marketing Director at Eden. I do a lot of work with the Eden community, public outreach, and manufacturer relations. I love to find new ways to engage the community. If there’s a way to build new connections, I’ll make it happen. Oh, you wanna know about my personal life…ah, ok…My neighbors know me as the tattooed mom with 2 crazy kids and a hot husband. Behind my bedroom door, we have a ton of toys – as you’d expect. We’re pretty adventurous and really like to have fun with each other. I have a very full life and am pretty intense about it. Busy, but happy!See Authors Posts (19)

We started bright and early on the second full day of the show, with an early breakfast meeting then onto the show floors for our many meetings. First up was a great meeting with the main men of Fun Factory – lots of amazing news and toys coming from them. Then we headed over to the Doc Johnson booth – their theme was Americana and the booth was decked with new items. Rebecca happily showed us all the new items, including new Ballsy colors and materials, new pocket vibes, new cute animal shaped vibes, a new Sasha Grey glass line, the new Allumination vibes, new Reflections shapes and finishes, and more.

Then it was onto see Kevin and Nick at Pipedream’s booth. Kevin gave us the tour of every wall – from fun stuff to seriously beautiful pieces, like the Icicles glass line, the Wow line, the Wanachis, the La Reve and some great new Fetish Fantasy pieces for both men and women.

We met with the lovely ladies of Vibratex and had great conversation, then we saw some really cute new pocket style vibrators across the hall from Evolved’s booth, from New Sensations… look at the kitty and the octopus! Want! And speaking of Evolved , just wait until you see their new lines – our meeting with them was full of news! Pics soon, I promise.

And then we met with the awesome Tom of Sportsheets ; I took some photos of their shower stall and we looked at their newest additions. Later, Tom even told me the Mexico story and we shared other crazy tales among our group. Rufina and I took a photo with Lavi of Doc Johnson while we were joking with these guys.

We ended the night with dinner, drinking, dancing, and talking once again; this time all together with everyone at the show during the ANME dinner party. Even though we didn’t get to meet with everyone we would have liked to this time, we had so many good long conversations with people from every aspect of the business, passing kind words to other retailers, home party people, distributors, and new manufacturers and old alike. What a great night and a fabulous show!
