Come celebrate 25 years of flesh, fetish, fantasy, and fun! The Exotic Erotic Ball will take place this Saturday, October 23 at The Cow Palace in San Francisco. This year's event will last all day with the addition of the Exotic Erotic Expo, from Noon to 6pm preceding the ball, and from 8pm during the ball.

It's part Mardi Gras, part burlesque, and part rock concert, yet totally unique. The Exotic Erotic Ball is a celebration of human sexuality and freedom of expression. It features non-stop entertainment of limitless variety. Attendees will see and hear live music, top DJs, erotic performers, exotic dancers, wild sideshows and playful interactive fun on multiple stages. The world's largest fetish hall - over 100,000 square feet - will feature B&D demos, fetish fashions, the healing arts, latex body painting, and many additional acts in themed rooms such as The Haunted Whorehouse and the Erotic Voodoo Tiki Lounge.

This year's live entertainment will include Everclear, 2 Live Crew, Richard 'Humpty' Vission, Donald Glaude and more bands, DJs and live acts. Check the Exotic Erotic Ball website for details.

Attending both the Expo and the Ball this year are a dozen stars from the adult world: Ron Jeremy, Tabitha Stevens, Tera Patrick, Raquel Devine, Christy Canyon, Alexis On Fire, Sharon Mitchell, Dave Cummings, Ed Powers, NoName Jane, Dennis Hof, and the girls of the Bunny Ranch. Look out at the Expo also for Carol Queen, Kary Kremen and Johnny Buss.

The Exotic Erotic Expo will feature 100 specially selected vendors who showcase the latest in exotic fashion, erotic art, adult products, games, novelties, and the fittingly offbeat. The Exotic Erotic Expo will be open to the public (for only $10) from 12noon - 6pm, and again during the evening hours of the Ball, only to Ball ticket holders. If you attend the Expo in the afternoon, and decide to stay for the Ball - you do NOT have to wait in your car for two hours; there will be a place to relax, and get something to eat and drink.
