Exotic Erotic Ball

I went to the exotic erotic ball last weekend with my slave boy. Our costumes were little red riding hood and the big bad wolf. The twist was that the wolf had been "tamed" - he had a leather studded chest harness and collar with leash.
We had quite a bit of fun- espeically since we had VIP tickets. VIP tickets were not great for the reasons you would think- there was a VIP lounge of course, with its own bar, free food and soda, but the lounge itself was pretty small, essentially closed off from everyone else by a few fabric walls, like you'd find enclosing a cubicle in an office- and most of the people in VIP were not young or beautiful- they were older and not as well dressed as the rest of the people at the ball. VIP was good for a few reasons, though. For one, the free food and soda was nice- at the rest of the ball there was a half an hour line and a $5 charge for a can of soda, so that was a bonus. Another great reason was that we had in and out priveleges, which the general public didn't get. The next reason was that there was an open loading bay for performers to come in/out of that the VIP people could use to go smoke. I don't smoke, but wolf boy does, so we spent a lot of time out there. Im not really sure where everyone else was supposed to smoke, because I saw a lot of people inside smoking. The last of course, being that we could go backstage- but that wasn't actually as entertaining as you'd think it would be- you couldn't really see the show from backstage, and there was just a bunch of people getting ready for their shows. On some of the side stage backstage areas there was a better view, where we could watch from the side of the stage, which was nice.
I was a bit dissapointed by a few things- the shows this year were not good at all- the main stage had acts like circus performers and auction a porn star- the headliner was Bow Wow Wow, which I've never even heard of. Two years ago it was digital underground. Secondly, there were signs all over that said "no nudity"- which is ridiculous! Isn't that the whole point of the exotic erotic? Thirdly, there was very little BDSM influence. The BDSM stage this year was small and out of the way. I did see one rather talented top with a bullwhip, but that's about it. Not that many topless girls or slaves wandering around.
I got my tickets for free, so it was overall a good experience, but if I had paid (especially for VIP tickets) I would have been dissapointed.
