Tantalizing, sweet and naughtily salacious, this year’s International Lingerie and Las Vegas Halloween Shows held together at the Rio Hotel and Casino were more than a fetish could bargain for. For the voyeur, the mattress magician, the monkey spankers and pussy ticklers, there were more toys for tits here than Toys for Tots donated at Christmas! Whether you’re intrigued with masks for anonymity or whips and chastity belts, these shows bound together one common need: the joy in pleasuring yourself and others—be it through sexuality, comedy or performance art. Everyone likes to play dress-up and these shows have a little something for all of us.

Magic Silk offered exactly what they state: lingerie in 100% silk, so sexy that you’ll feel like magic in the bedroom. They have four different collections to satisfy each personality and body-shape: Midnight Magic (a large collection of late-night lingerie, from sweet and playful to raunchy and misbehavin’), Queen Size (a collection perfectly designed for the full-figured), Exposed (for the truly uninhibited, ready to bare almost-all), and Magic Silk (for those who just can’t get enough of the real thing).

It was London calling when it comes to fashion that’s sexy, sassy and with a punk-rock edge. The Britt’s rebellious Serious collection ranks high on the list for today’s rockers that are willing to kick up their skirts to the most “micro” of “minis”, (basically a belt with a tuft of lace and 2” of pleated plaid). Serious offers a distinct rocker look for both men and women and has received much acclaim from their celebrities that don their wares, like Fergie, Slash of Guns ‘N Roses and Tommy Lee of Motley Crüe.

Shunga Erotic Art takes the beauty of seduction to a new level with its oral pleasures, lotions of warmth and ice and body paints to artistically tease and taunt your partner. Shunga is a word commonly known for Japanese erotic paintings. Often printed as tiny booklets called “pillow books”, Shunga art also served as teaching guides for the sons and daughters of the Japanese bourgeoisie. From the paintings, they learned the art of foreplay, sexual positioning, and proper hygiene. If you’re artistic or simply like to lick your partner clean, Shunga’s Body Paint will entice you and your partner with its aphrodisiac flavors of Chocolate, Strawberries and Cream and a blend of Vanilla-Chocolate.

The artist Michael Cole presented a collection of fine nude castings known as Busty Brass, in which he has taken a beautiful bust and cast it in pewter and brass, and now a new line of brilliant colors to accent wine accessories, keychains, golf ball markers and more. Michaels finest castings displayed were of sculpted wood full-size busts—the area where this artist truly shines. BustyBrass.com
