The Naughty but Nice Sex Show
This past weekend was the first Taboo, the Naughty but Nice Show in Winnipeg, held at the Winnipeg Convention Center. It was a three-day “upscale consumer trade show dedicated to romance and self-improvement” featuring everything from toys and lingerie to hair extensions and Derby girls (♥!!!).
I showed up at around 7 pm when the crowd seemed to just be picking up. There were over 40 companies that turned out for the night with their wares. My favourite booth was Lovestyle Adult Toys with a gorgeous selection of glass dildos. Their products were elegant and sensual and their staff was very helpful. Another display that really caught my eye was Sinate Creations who brought beautiful handmade skirts and dresses made from saris and other vibrant, luxurious materials. The Winnipeg Roller Derby girls were also there (on skates of course) advertising the upcoming inaugural bout against Thunder Bay on February 27th. ♥ (If you’re in Winnipeg and you haven’t got a ticket yet, you need to get one. It’s going to be excellent!)
I was pretty familiar with most of the wares at the show but Sinful Sydnee Creative Courtesan Classes brought along a lovely little gem called a violet wand. It’s a toy that shocks your skin when you touch it. It felt like a more powerful version of static electricity. It came with a pretty purple glitter attachment that sent shocks up and down my back. Definitely something to look into. ♥
At the far end of the hall was a main stage setup that featured live entertainment throughout the weekend. I ended up catching a show by Miss la Muse, a local burlesque dancer. La Muse is a charming performer. I saw her perform once before at The Academy earlier this year and she has a show coming up on February 14th that I highly recommend for anyone who is interested. If you’re lucky, she’ll do her powder puff routine which is absolutely adorable. There was also a great bellydancing troupe called “The Hamsa Girls” with a fantastic dancer named Rachel that I really enjoyed.
At the other end of the hall, the show had a seminar theater which featured discussions on a variety of topics. After helping myself to some chocolate fondue and fruit, I sat in on “Going Oral!” by Fantasia and “BUTT It’s Sexy… and FUN!!” with Sinful Sydnee, both of which were great. Trade shows are often pretty exhausting for me so I left pretty early, with a stack of business cards and a goodie bag of free condoms and coupons. A friend and I grabbed a bite to eat before heading to her place. My night finished with a lovely walk down the frozen river with snow like diamond dust falling all around us.
