Erik von Gutenberg recommends Cybernet Expo in San Francisco.

Cybernet Expo is the longest running trade show that’s geared specifically for the adult Internet business.  Cybernet Expo moved to San Francisco in 2008, where it launched its successful “Intensive Training” series of single instructor classes designed to teach attendees various tactics for operating successful adult entertainment businesses on the Internet. The show also features its classic “Industry Insider” series of panel discussions, where attendees get to hear from a diverse group of adult industry experts about the state of the industry and current business trends. 

Cybernet Expo also provides attendees with opportunities to network and make new business contacts; the show runs a speed networking session for attendees, and also offers a three-hour event called “Show and Sell” where attendees can visit various exhibit tables to meet representatives from various adult companies, while picking up free promotional giveaways in the process. 

Evenings are taken up by private parties that are open to the show’s attendees only; past parties have included events like exclusive evening concerts, trips to local adult establishments, and tours of local adult Internet studios. More information about Cybernet Expo, including additional information about courses, discussion panels, sponsorship packages, networking events and evening parties, can be found at http://www.cybernetexpo.com/ and for more information please email jay@ynot.com or phone 512-388-1728.

Erik von Gutenberg recommends the laced Up Boutique In Utrecht!

The Laced-Up Project: It’s not just a boutique, it’s the community’s Head Quarters

Laced-Up Boutique in Utrecht, the Netherlands, has never been just a shop. The founder Sarah Mobley has a rich background in the music industry and entrepreneurship plus years of experience personally as an activist for sexual minorities.

In 2007 Cupid’s arrow brought her from the US to the Netherlands, and less than one year later the Laced-Up Project was born.

In the 1950’s pin-up inspired boutique Sarah focuses on making the shop and webshop a retail heaven for kinksters of all preferences and fetishes. Given the boutique’s name it follows that she is a true advocate of all things that lace up. Last year Sarah launched the Laced-Up Boutique line of clothing & toys, in which her dream designs are becoming reality. The line features beautifully made corsets, leather, PVC/Lak and some latex. The LU line is described by Sarah as “fetishwear that is practical and elegant in a wide range of styles and sizes at reasonable prices.” In the rustic cellar we find BDSM tools & the best adult toys. One of the first toys in the LU line is the Laced-Up Lash which is hailed as the easiest single tail in the world. The Boutique also carries extraordinary clothing, accessories, and toys from other designers including the likes of Tatjana Warneke & Masters in Steel.

It turns out that Utrecht is home to more fetishist and other assorted kinksters than anyone ever imagined! Early in it’s inception Sarah jokingly started calling the mission to build a cohesive community United Utrecht Perverts, UUP in short, and the name’s stuck. There’s so much to do now in Utrecht! Word has spread beyond the local boundaries and now people from all over the Netherlands come to Laced-Up Boutique and its many events.

On the calendar you’ll find the Laced-Up Kink Café with its retro fetish cocktail party ambiance set in a private club on a lovely canal in Utrecht’s Centrum. A now legendary kick start for the Kink Cafe evening is the Pervert Pub Quiz, where partygoers team up to win fun and salacious prizes.

Another branch of the project is the Laced-Up Institute for Alternative Sexual Education which offers wickedly fun workshops hosted by highly experienced kinksters. Small classes of people gather at the HQ to learn about subjects such as kinky sex, and all the wonders of the BDSM/Fetish world. There are also free monthly BDSM/fetish discussion groups full of laughter, support and lots of chocolate! The Laced-Up team of volunteers makes the educational and social events for the community possible at low or no cost. Educational books ranging from bondage to age play are also available in the Boutique and webshop.

With a twinkle in her eye Sarah says, “We’ve only just begun!”

Von Gutenberg Magazine recommends high heel speakers!

If you’re a woman who seriously loves her heels or just any general person with a serious foot fetish, now you can have a pair of speakers to show off your real love in the world.  These bright red shoes are sure to attract all sorts of attention, so you’d better be ready to come out of the closet with your foot or shoe loving tendencies.

You may think it’s incredibly strange for anyone to create speakers like this, much less have anyone buy them, but there’s something you should know.  The speakers are Japanese, nuff said.  The USB speakers have an output of 3W x 2ch.  Should you be highly interested in getting a pair, they’re not the cheapest USB speakers out there.  They cost 4480 Yen or about $55, plus the amount of shipping it costs to get them outside of Japan.

Cyberesque, clothing from above the Stars!

Von Gutenberg Magazine had the pleasure to visit Cyberesque at the German Fetish Ball in Hamburg this year. They do clothing for men and women and the items are simply stunning. If you are looking for a corset one  has to be for sure from Cyberesque.

Here is their web address: http://www.cyberesque.de/ ! They are located in Germany but will ship worldwide. Simply stunning pieces and Erik von Gutenberg was very and impressed and the whole VG team is looking for more news from the new collection!

Enjoy the interview on the Von Gutenberg Blog for Fashion, Fantasy, Lifestyle and Fetish news & Couture.

Erik von Gutenberg likes Christina Aguilera in fetish clothing!

CHRISTINA Aguilera has a kinky side — she loves to wear “fetish gear”!

The Dirrty hitmaker says shooting the video for her raunchy new song Not Myself Tonight was “torture” because of the tight latex clothing — but she enjoyed it!

“For my video shoot I didn’t go to bed until five in the morning… in the freezing rain, in the cold, wearing a two-piece red latex outfit. Torture!” she said.

“I got nauseous with exhaustion from the video shoot. It was just a long day.

“Did I get a skin allergy from the latex? I did get a little bit of a rash at one point. Where? Next question!

“I’m really into fetish gear and latex is really making a strong statement for me. Good body contours.

“Has my husband worn it? I would not know! And I’ll never know! You don’t want to get your b**ls caught in that.

“Have I ever toned it down? Never! Well, maybe when I was pregnant. There was no latex then.”

Christina — who raises son Max with her husband Jordan Bratman — recently insisted she won’t let motherhood stop her from being sexy.

“He’s going to grow up in a household where he knows mommy expresses herself artistically and some of that will have to reflect itself sexually too at times,” she said earlier this year.

“He’s going to learn to respect the fact that women are allowed to express themselves and not feel shameful about their bodies or their sexuality.”
