Social Kink will sponsor the Ball’s legendary Fetish Stage, as part of the internationally acclaimed celebration of flesh, fetish and fantasy, and dubbed — according to E! Entertainment TV — “The World’s No. 1 Wildest and Sexiest Party."
The festivities occur at the Cow Palace in San Francisco on Halloween weekend, commencing Friday with the Exotic Erotic Expo and concluding Saturday with the Exotic Erotic Ball.
The Ball, which is being produced in association with XFANZ, has been titillating San Francisco audiences with arousing adult amusement for over a quarter of a century, and is widely considered the No. 1 adult-themed party event in the world, according to a representative.
The Expo is a two-day event which begins Friday at noon, features its own entertainment lineup and more than 100 exhibits showcasing the latest in exotic fashion, erotic art, adult products, games, websites and novelties, and is being sponsored by XBIZ.com.
SocialKink.com is a new social networking site especially made for and by the fetish community.
"The fetish community is all about freedom to explore and Social Kink's aim is to provide an ideal online location for that freedom to be experienced," a representative said.
The site features uncensored profiles, networking opportunities, relevant news, industry blogs, featured interviews, site exclusives, music, matchmaking, local events calendar, profile verification and their “kinktionary,” a collaborative encyclopedia of all things kink-related built on wiki technology.
Over it’s 28-year history, the Exotic Erotic Ball presented the wildest and most outrageous talent on its Main, Burlesque, Expo and Bling stages, while the Fetish stage has always been a fun, interactive space where attendees of all experience levels could adlib "play" with their partners and other more experienced BDSM performers, pro dommes, slaves and masters.
“This year the Fetish Stage takes on an entirely new dimension as experienced ‘players’ from Social Kink will ‘whip’ into shape this stage area with high-quality productions, featuring the latest in fetish performances, demonstrations and activities," The Ball’s founder Perry Mann said. "We couldn’t be happier with this, most appropriate, alliance.”
Other Presenting Sponsors of the Exotic Erotic Ball are Clips4Sale.com, Eros.com and SexSearch.com.
“We have ideal sponsors,” Ball producer Howard Mauskopf said. “Part of that is because we are a purely independent event. We don’t publish anything, and to the extent we’re part of any industry, it is really the entertainment industry. As such, we are able to go into the marketplace, select companies for whom we believe we can offer real opportunities, and then propose ways to exploit their brands in a manner they’re not likely to find elsewhere. This also enhances our event.
"We feel we share a kinship with Social Kink, Eros and SexSearch in that like us, they deliver real-life adult experiences to a wide range of consumers. Attendees at our event will actually be able to meet available SexSearch.com ladies in the flesh, and become temporary SexSearch.com members for free. Eros.com will be celebrating its 10th anniversary at our event, and they will be inviting fetish celebs, pro dommes and other adult entertainers to the show to mingle with guests — we’re pretty excited about that.
"Clips4Sale.com is different. They deliver an experience that is a virtual one but they sure bring an incredible reality to the process — those are clips of real people doing real things, and in some cases, doing real nasty things. We just find their stuff incredibly hot, so we’re building a free theatre at the Expo and showing their hottest clips all weekend long.
Through its unique combination of mixing live mainstream musical, burlesque and circus performances with political irreverence, humorous hijinks and the outright bizarre, the Exotic Erotic Ball has delighted and regaled over half a million attendees and participants over its highly acclaimed history, a representative said. The entertainment is of a seemingly limitless variety: headline concerts, top DJs, erotic performers, exotic dancers and wild sideshows fill a large arena, an even larger exposition hall and several smaller themed rooms, covering six acres in all.
The Exotic Erotic Expo and Ball is held at Cow Palace in Daly City Friday through Saturday from noon to 6 p.m.
The entertainment lineup for The Exotic Erotic Ball includes Peaches, Bubba Sparxxx, The Charlie Brechtel Band, the Vau De Vire Society, Donald Glaude, Mini Kiss, Black Betty, Doxy and special appearances by Tera Patrick, Danny Bonaduce and a performance by Snoop Dogg. Ball hours are Saturday night 8 p.m.-2 a.m.. For more information on The Exotic Erotic Expo and Ball, visit ExoticEroticBall.com or call (415) 567-BALL.
