MIAMI, FL — BBW performers have long complained that no matter how many DVDs they sell and loyal fans they attract, they are rarely invited to staff booths during tradeshows and, when they are, they’re often hidden away from view. According to four plus-size performers, at least one industry convention made it clear their very presence was unwanted. Not so at EXXXOTICA Miami Beach.“EXXXOTICA has always been a celebration of sexy and we recognize that there is always someone for everyone,” J. Handy, director of Victory Tradeshow Management assured in a press release. “We certainly would never discriminate against any person or group in regards to race, creed or sexual orientation or taste.”
For those not in the know, “BBW” stands for Big Beautiful Woman – and as the largest adult-themed consumer show on the east coast, EXXXOTICA Miami Beach clearly considers itself both smart enough to know a good thing when it sees it and big enough to accommodate it.
In addition to welcoming the four women, convention organizers have offered them free booth space. The performers report having been previously denied tradeshow space by the California show management.
“These ladies have been wronged and we want to let them know they are welcome at our show,” Hardy promised. “We are offering them a booth at our show.”
A press release for the convention proudly announced that it has offered free booth space to the four models previously denied space at the California convention.
Although the performers have not yet responded to the offer, a decision to do so would put them in the same tradeshow environment as Jesse Jane, Jenna Haze, Sunny Leone and many others.
EXXXOTICA Miami Beach’s “Celebration of Sex” will be held in the Miami Beach Convention Center’s Hall C from Friday, May 8th – 10th. More information can be gained by visiting www.EXXXOTICAExpo.com.
