                 California Exotic 
Novelties Declares Success
          at ANME Show
Other Highlights Include XBIZ Retail Show and XBIZ Awards 
California Exotic Novelties declares success at the ANME Show. The XBIZ Retail Show and the XBIZ Awards were also highlights for the world’s largest pleasure product manufacturer. 
“The ANME Show was once again a huge hit for California Exotic Novelties. We enjoyed showing our newest collections and products to our customers. With a commitment to consumer-centric marketing we’ve developed several new lines that speak to the target demographic, and expanded several existing collections. Those who visited our booth saw how our products can be easily merchandised together,” says Susan Colvin, President and CEO of California Exotic Novelties.
The booth was arranged to show off individual collections and designed to inspire retailers when setting store walls. The company also released 39 plan-o-grams which gives retailers diagrams they can easily follow. Additionally discs featuring the latest product videos were also distributed. All the new products are featured in the California Exotic Novelties Spring 2012 Catalog, titled: Life, Love, Passion. 
California Exotic Novelties unveiled the Phil Varone: Sex, Toys and Rock ‘n Roll Collection to rave reviews during the Phil Varone Meet and Greet. The rock star met show attendees and members of the media during the event. He signed autographs, posed for pictures and toasted to the line of toys.
“Seeing all the products on the wall is amazing,” says Varone. “I had a great time getting to know so many wonderful people from the industry during the meet and greet. This is a dream come true and I’m so happy to have teamed up with CalExotics to make this happen.”
Several new collections from California Exotic Novelties received high praise during the show. The 10-Function Silicone Love Rider, Booty Call, Namaste, Playful in Pearls, and Screw Me are just a few that turned heads. 
Jackie White, Vice President of Sales for California Exotic Novelties, says, “Everyone loved the expanding Tantric Collection. The vibes are beautiful and the fetish play gear makes this line one to watch. We also rounded out our Lia line with fun new shapes and styles, providing moderately priced silicone toys with lots of features.”
As the show shifted into XBIZ Retail mode, California Exotic Novelties continued to experience several notable highlights. Susan Colvin delivered the keynote address to a packed audience on Monday evening. Attended by retailers, distributors and an array of industry people, the speech pinpointed the importance of increasing sales in 2012 by adapting a consumer-centric, mainstream approach to sales and marketing.
The XBIZ Show also featured the popular speed networking event which was attended by Austin Ferdinand, the company's merchandising expert. The popular Merchandising Manual was discussed and distributed to attendees. The format offered a direct link between manufacturers and retailers and was well received.
The pièce de résistance was the XBIZ Awards Show. California Exotic Novelties’ Director of Marketing, Al Bloom, was honored with the Executive Leadership Award – Novelty. 
Bloom says, “The night was truly spectacular and I feel privileged to be honored while surrounded by so many friends and colleagues. Thank you XBIZ for the award and to everyone who worked so hard to put on an amazing show.”
The Life, Love, Passion catalog is available now. Contact your California Exotic Novelties account executive for a copy of the newest product videos.

Sportsheets President 
Advises Esquire Readers 
How to Be 'Sex In the 
 Shower' Aficionados 
Sex column suggests 'Sex In the Shower' products for safe, secure bath-time fun
Sportsheets® acclaimed Sex In The Shower was featured in the latest issue of Esquire magazine as a solution for foolproof-and bruise-proof bath-time sex. The collection of handles, waterproof toys and other suction-cup sexcessories makes it safe and easy for couples to enjoy each other in even the most slippery situations.
An Esquire reader wrote to the Sex Q&A column asking for tips, tricks and advice for having sex in the shower without risk of injury, and Sportsheets President Tom Stewart was called to save the day.
"The sexually wise will tell you that cold, hard, wet locations like showers, pools, and Buffalo (New York) are about the worst places to have sex," columnist Stacey Brenrock wrote. "However, if you or your partner must have sex in the shower for religious reasons, I suggest you log on to sexintheshower.net. The site has a lot of innovative shower-sex aides."
Stewart suggests Sex In the Shower handles that suction to any surface, as well as the shower step and foam knee pads to give the body a well-deserved cushion. Without these water-safe sex aides, positioning in even the most basic sex moves can prove painful, especially during prolonged action.
"These suction-cup handles, you can put them anywhere," Stewart said. "It gives you something to hang on to. And the shower step that we've got is a lot more versatile than the corner of your bathtub. We've got foam kneepads that will absolutely save your life."
This kind of mainstream media exposure proves that sex outside the bedroom is more than just a trend for kinky couples, and tools like those from Sex In the Shower make it easy, fun and safe to see how an ordinary shower can change your sex life forever!
Sportsheets and its Sex&Mischief fantasy accessory collection are up for multiple 2012 XBIZ awards, including BDSM Pleasure Products Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, and Excellence in Product Packaging. The awards show will culminate the ANME Founders and XBIZ trade shows Jan. 10, 2012, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif.
The company is also up for Best Sex Toy Company Large, Best Fetish Product, Best Sex Toy for Couples, and Best Packaging at the upcoming 2012 AVN Awards. The event is set for Jan. 21, 2012, in Las Vegas at The Hard Rock Hotel's The Joint nightclub. Hosted by adult starlets Bree Olsen and Sunny Leone, it'll be a night of glamour, glitter and a whole lot of sex toys.
The ANME Founders Show will take place Jan. 7-8, while the XBIZ Retail Expo is scheduled Jan. 9-10, both at the Burbank Marriott. The Sportsheets team can be found at booths 38, 39 and 54.

Cold Water Cleaning 
John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia. 
After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?" 
His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!" 
For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?" 
Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!" 
Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car". 
Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV the old man shouted ... 
"COLDWATER, GO LAY DOWN!!!!"
