Adultcon II

The Radisson Hotel LAX's second floor was filled with beautiful people and long lines of admirers waiting to get in to see them. This was Renaud West's second venture into producing a large convention for the Adult Industry, and it was a huge success. He brought to the Adult world his vast experience in producing events for the mainstream world, frequently associated with the various Awards Shows.

Renaud's dream was to bring in all participants in the adult industry, not just well-known porn stars. He wanted to combine the best of the other shows that cater to the various factions of the industry and provide them a place where they could make money at the show by selling photos and other products. He brought together porn stars (legends from the past as well as up-'n'-coming stars), centerfold magazine models, amateur web models and cam girls, dancers from gentlemen's clubs and vendors of adult industry-related products.

He kept the admission fee low to the attendees to encourage them to spend their money in the booths. And spend they did! The girls said they couldn't keep enough videos and photos on their tables and will bring more merchandise next time. And, many posed for pictures with fans for a fee, which also brought in some money. I'm sure their hands were sore from all the autographs they signed.

There were a couple incidents of rude behavior on the part of a few fans, but generally, everyone was there to have a good time and ogle all the gorgeous women, and they were thrilled at the chance to talk to the women they watch on video or on their computer monitors. Renaud said he will increase security at future events to handle any inappropriate behavior.

I was there to sell a few items, including the Mr. Potato Head Vibrating Massager pictured above being demonstrated by Annabel Chong and Brenda Kelly. I had invited Annabel to share my booth space, and she had a wonderful time talking with fans and posing for pictures. Because I was busy in my booth, I didn't have time to get a lot of pictures, but I did get a few really good ones.

The next Adultcon will be at the Hollywood Park Casino in Inglewood, CA on November 17, 2002. Don't miss it!!
