Erotica 2010 - a show for your imagination

Erotica, the three-day lifestyle event held at London's Olympia offers a unique shopping experience and great entertainment. The entertainment and many of the products are so artistically inclined that it would be impossible for the event to go unnoticed by Retox Magazine.

Dita Von Teese, the internationally renowned burlesque sensation is headlining the Erotica 2010 event and in addition to her daily performances she is also signing her new book. Now that’s a treat!

Erotica 2010 has many products to display ranging from erotic photography and sculptures to fetish furniture, clothes and toys – you know exactly what toys we mean! Furthermore, you can attend seminars, makeovers and workshops. And, of course, there is beverage so pace yourself.

Right, lets get to the fun stuff – the show!

Rock’n’Roll’n’Latex at Erotica 2010

On the main Erotica 2010 stage we have quite a share of entertainment starting with the Libidex latex fashion show with a 1950s feel, bringing the whole new meaning to Rock’n’Roll.

Here kitty kitty… Psst!

If you think Rock’n’Roll’n’Latex was fun, wait till you see the sensational Miss Kitty Bang Bang’s performance. A wild cat emerges from a dumpster only to bemuse us all as she tiptoes on the stage slowly removing her layers. A banging neo-burlesque performance that ends in the naughty kitten getting a milk bath! Meeeeooowww!!!

No strings attached…

When you think of the London's Erotica event, one of the things that you may expect to see is a pole and a dance. Boy oh boy, do they take it to the next level! It is sensual, it is breathtaking, it is ART! Bubbalicious – Miss Pole Dance UK 2009 Champion gives a gravity defying performance as she shows off her athletic moves on the pole. Is this even real? …Well, yes, it is.

Spineless Zlata performs at Erotica 2010

Contortionist and model Zlata wraps herself around the table. What happened to her joints? The panther-spotted spineless creature brings another form of body art to Erotica 2010. Zlata's graceful moves and the extraterrestrial flexibility makes it a mind-blowing performance!

We further have great performances from the naughty RubberDoll, Stripped, aerialist The Amazing Ari, and fire dancer Zora Viperaz, with the Dark Prince of Cabaret, Dusty Limits, presenting the affair. The talent was superb, the experience was great and we’re getting a video report that sums up the whole thing ready for you. Come back soon and check this space!

Erotica 2010 London Olympia - the Dreamboys

The Dreamboys at Erotica 2010

Now lets pan to the feature stage at gallery level where the world famous troupe of male dancers is performing throughout the Erotica 2010 weekend. Oi yoi yoi!!! After seeing the flyer fans wait in anticipation to catch the real thing! On this note, the Dreamboys deliver a package – in fact, 6 hefty packages to be precise! What a tease!

Presenter Dave Blaze takes time on the mic to build up extra anticipation as the diva boys run into delays backstage. Eventually, as DJ Paul Marston spins the tunes, the fully packed out Dreamboys bring out the goods.

Here is some heavenly visuals to account for what really went on. (Sorry we can’t show you everything!!)

By the way, the Erotica 2010 guests had a unique opportunity to purchase the Dreamboys calendars, signed by the hunky fellas and get a photo posing in-between the packs. For those who’d like to know them better, here are your Dreamboys.

The Erotica 2010 Dita Von Teese desert at the Opium Den

Eastern sounds of music hold the suspense. As the black blind goes up the set is revealed. We are in China and we are indeed with Dita Von Teese, the queen of burlesque, at her Opium Den. Dita Von Teese – the international symbol of eroticism and joyful pleasures is wearing a sexy long shimmering dress with a thigh-high slit accompanied by a pair of sparkling red shoes matching the colour of her lips. Sweet Jeez, check out the curves and the tiny little waist! - Sensational!

Now here come the heartbreaking news: we have no visual evidence. Honestly, no one was allowed to take photos, not even press. We could have sneaked in a few photos while the security was bemused with the Dita Von Teese performance. However, we have a reputation to maintain. Dita Von Teese is known for her rare public performances and so we are happy enough to catch a glimpse of her at this event.

As Dita Von Teese dissolves in smoke, confetti flies into the air and we advance towards the exit we leave you with the last thought: Erotica 2011 For Your Imagination. Will see you there!
