TAMPA, Fla.—Fetish Con has announced the guests of honor for its 14th annual fetish industry and community trade show. Sponsored byClips4Sale, the networking event targeting the fetish industry and community will take place August 7-10 at the Hilton Tampa Downtown in Tampa, Florida.
“As the event draws closer, the excitement continues to build,” says event promoter Genesis Lynn. “Every year, we strive to bring the sexiest Guests of Honor to the show, and this year is no exception. We have some incredibly talented and beautiful ladies as our Guests of Honor this year. These six women have made their mark both on the big screen and small as well as across the pages of Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler. Our guests of honor are award-winning performers from all across the adult and fetish spectrum. We can’t wait for August, and look forward to having everyone enjoy this year’s show.”
Fetish Con’s first-ever guest of honor and the original owner of the Fetish Con domain name, Stacy Burke, will be returning to the show again as the official spokes model.
“Fetish Con is one big party to get together, do shoots, sell our merchandise, meet fans, give the starting-out producer a chance at shooting new models, give new models a chance to book a lot of shoots—and just all get together as one big fetish family, and have one heck of a blast doing it," said Burke. "Fetish Con is my heart and soul, and I give many thanks to the Fetish Con staff and to all that attend - they are truly my dream makers!”
In addition to Burke, Fetish Con also announced five additional fetish and adult industry icons as guests of honor: Angela Sommers, Danielle Trixie, Nyxon, Kelly Shibari and Gia Nova.
“Fetish Con is the best adult convention running,” said Penthouse Pet and bondage/cosplay aficionado Sommers. “Not only do we get to meet with our fans in person and perform for them live, we get a chance to meet new fetish models and companies from around the country, and around the world, that we might have never had gotten the chance to network with. To top it all off, all us kinky models get a chance to let loose after all the hard work we put into filming for our fans all year, and party it up with each other! Coming from mainstream ‘vanilla’ porn, and being liberated into the fetish word, I can say wholeheartedly it is a close knit, passionate, down to earth, and totally fun group of people I have had the honor of being invited into their fetish family. Fetish Con is where it’s at!”
Penthouse, Playboy and Hustler model Danielle Trixie, of Harold and Kumar 2 fame, added, “Fetish Con is always a different experience each year. I love coming to Fetish Con and getting a great group of fetish models, producers and lifestyles together for one amazing weekend together.”
Raven-haired bondage temptress Nyxon agreed, saying, “I am so excited about being a Guest of Honor at this year's Fetish Con. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone, especially my fans.”
“I'm beyond thrilled to have been asked to be guest of honor at this year's Fetish Con,” said Penthouse Forum’s first-ever plus size cover girl, Kelly Shibari. “Last year was my first year there, and I'm looking forward to returning and attending the many events, classes, and parties - and of course meeting everyone there.”
Burlesque queen and fetish vixen Gia Nova added, “I am so extremely appreciative to be a Guest of Honor at Fetish Con this year! It's completely surreal to have come full circle, since I started as a fetish performer in my late teens before my exotic dance career.”
With classes, private dungeon/play space, live fetish shows, an art gallery, after-hour parties and the pervy pool party that never stops, Fetish Con has grown to an internationally recognized and highly anticipated event. Blowing the doors off the party scene in Tampa every year since 2004, when the event moved to sunny Florida from New York, the event brings thousands of fetish performers, production companies and kinksters together for an unforgettable four-day weekend.
The long successful history of Fetish Con combined with the luxurious venue brought in over 7500 attendees last year, with over 200 models and 60 vendors on hand to meet with fans and consumers.
