As a former New Yorker, I can tell you that "exotic" and "erotic" are two adjectives way down on the list to describe the city.What better reason, then, to have the decades-old San Francisco staple Exotic Erotic Expo and Ball come to the Big Apple? New Yorkers are big on the irony and often spend all day making air quotes at each other.
This event can be great fun, what with all those drag queens, sex-positivists, porn stars, and Thomas Dolby trying to out-sexy each other. Yes, this year Thomas Dolby will perform.
The Exotic Erotic Ball was founded in the early 80s by Perry Mann as a fundraiser for his partner's run for President. Louis Abolafia was the Nudist party's candidate and is remembered for coining the phrase "Make Love, Not War".
Will New York's first hosting of the event, scheduled for June 16 and 17 at Pier 94 (and featuring stars like Red Sox fan Tyler Faith, New York tourist Joanna Angel, and Oz spouse Tera Patrick, as well as Carmen Luvana who, as a Puerto Rican, is as close to local as the event will get) be as exuberant as the San Francisco version or might it get mired down in unsexy hipster ennui?
Either way, I plan on attending because this summer is dead for porn conventions.
I just hope Joe Gallant shows up with prints of Fuck My Meathook Fetus.
