EXOTICA, presented by Chaos (MI) and Vena (CA), is one of the largest and most prestigious erotic fetish events in the United States. November 7 - 9th, 2008 is "Exotica Detroit 4 featuring Skin Two". Our host is Tim Woodward (UK), publisher of Skin Two Magazine. Former Exotica hostess Emily Marilyn (CA) returns to host the VIP Room, joined by Ruby Luster (FL).
The special VIP Guests confirmed so far include celebrity photographers: Lithium Picnic (TX), Steve Diet Goedde (CA), Perry Gallagher (CA), Tommy O (CA), Larry Bradby (DC), and many more to come.

Half a dozen designers have committed to presenting their lines from latex designers Ego Assassin (Canada), Ceres Moon (MA), to fetishwear designers Exquisite Restraint Corsets (CA & LA), Leather Realm (OH), and Grey Gargoyle (VA). Exotica 4 will also mark the official launch of latex couture designer Frenchy LaRue (CA). The shows will take place at Friday night 's party SLICK!, while Saturday night is the EXOTICA SKIN TWO BALL featuring numerous stage shows by the top fetish performers in the nation, and top DJ's such as Stitch from Mushroomhead, Xris from SMack! (NY), as well as Exotica's enormous lineup of regular DJ's.
Each day, the Expo features 35 daytime and 15 night vendor booths from the nation's top fetish and erotic companies, afternoon workshops featuring subjects such as Fetish Photography, Belly Dancing, Rope Suspension, and even Introducing Your Partner to BDSM. The Detroit Erotic Arts Collaborative (DEAC) will also be hosting a 2 day erotic/fetish photoshoot and exhibit with over 100 of the nation's top models and photographers.
With guests expected to arrive from all over the world, especially the UK and Europe, the luxurious Auburn Hills Marrriot will be the host hotel and offering all Exotica guests a huge discount off room rates, as well as a complimentary shuttle bus between all event venues throughout the day and night.
Local media is expected to be hot on the heels of this crowd. Detroit's top rock radio station 89X has already committed to extensive coverage of this event, as have many other radio stations throughout Michigan and Ohio. Local newspapers Real Detroit Weekly and Metro Times will continue to cover the event before and after, as usual. Confirmed national and international magazines covering this event include: Skin Two, Marquis, AVN, XBiz Premiere, Morphine, Hustler's Taboo, Latextra, and numerous industry and entertainment websites including XFanz, Pro Domination International, and Metromix. Attendance at each Exotica has grown steadily to an estimated 3,500 guests at the last one, and we expect that number to increase to at least 4,500 at Exotica 4.
We do hope you'll join us in the fun, either as a Sponsor, a Vendor, a Presenter, or simply to join in on the madness that Exotica is so well known for. Please note that EXOTICA is a pansexual event that promotes tolerance and acceptance of all lifestyles. For more information about Exotica, please visit our site at: www.exoticadetroit.com
