ETO Show 2007
By Hellen on 25 Jul 2007
The weekend saw the guys and girls of the Strictly Broadband team heading up to the NEC in Birmingham for this years ETO Show and ETO Industry Awards.
The Erotic Trade Only show gathers the best of the UK Erotic Industry in one place, and gives all the porn producers, lingerie companies and sex toy manfacturers a chance to show off their goods and do business with sex shops and online stores.
As always, the Strictly Broadband crew took the chance to network, meet their favorite porn stars, get their hands on the latest in sex toy design and try every variety of flavoured lube on offer, on top of the more serious work-related matters, such as getting our hands on the fantastic new releases from Harmony and Relish which will be up on the site very soon.
It was a great chance to check out the latest innovations in erotic merchandise, with ETO Award winners Sextoys.co.uk and ID Lubricant showing off the hottest products from their huge ranges. We were especially impressed by the ID Juicy Lube which comes in several fruity flavours including Bubblegum and Watermelon. Delicious!
Other exciting new sexcessories we saw, and got rather excited about, were the crazy-fun looking Adult FunBoards (who had the added draw of Elizabeth Lawrence demonstrating the product) and a new, incredibly classy vibrator range from Big Teaze Toys.
It was a great chance to catch up with some of the great British talent in the world of porn, and not only did we meet up with Miss Lawrence, but also got the chance to catch up with Brit legend Ben Dover, as well as copping a feel of the magnificent breasts of ETO Award winning Cathy Barry.
The intrepid reporters of Strictly News found time to interview the beautiful blonde Karlie Simon as well as porn stud Jayce Xaveri, so look out for these features on the site soon.
Curvy newcomer Lola Flame joined us at the ETO Awards dinner, adding more than a touch of glamour to our table and allowing us all to have a feel of her bootylicious butt! Yazmin popped by to show off her radical new hairdo, and the sultry Kiera proved to us that guys certainly would make passes at girls in glasses!
The evening saw the Award Ceremony and dinner, and everyone got glammed up in suits and dresses, as comedian Aaron Berg presented each winner with a stylish trophy. Unlike most adult awards these were voted for by people in the industry, and a full list of winner follows below.
