HPPPA hosted a Kink & Bondage Lab, sponsored by Doc Johnson, Sportsheets and XR Brands, on the opening night of the most recent International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas. Emily Silva of Sportsheets demonstrated various items from their bondage and S&M lines.  Rebecca Wienberg of XR Brands conducted recurring demonstrations of their new Electrosex S&M product line Zeus.  Toni Hunt of Erotasies Home Parties showed Japanese rope tie techniques using attendees as volunteers.  The night ended with a 'best costume' contest.  The winning couple won an entire collection of Doc Johnson's Black Rose Collection.  The event was well attended by HPPPA members and other guests.  In addition to the Kink & Bondage Lab, HPPPA hosted a panel discussion featuring three well known, well respected industry leaders: Loren Levy, president of Classic Erotica; Scott Watkins, vice president of sales and marketing for Doc Johnson; and Leslie (Lulu) Daniels, a 25-year industry veteran currently with NS Novelties.
