ANME Founders Show Helps You Get Down to Business
By Desiree Duffie
The ANME Founders Show is the trade show event for U.S. and Canadian-based manufacturers to showcase and sell their products to distributor and retailer buyers. Held July 10-12, 2009 at the Warner Center Marriott Woodland Hills in Southern California, the ANME Founders Show will feature the top names in the adult novelty industry.
You may be wondering why there are now two novelty trade shows. What makes the ANME Founders' Trade Show different than the ANE Show? The ANME Founders' Trade Show is the biggest and it is the original novelty trade show. The objective is to bring the annual novelty trade show back to its roots. It is about the presentation of the newest products to distributors and retailers. That is the way the novelty show originated many years ago. It was collaboration between the top manufacturers to showcase their product lines to top distributors and buyers. It was about business.
In tough economic times it is important for a trade show to provide distributors and buyers with everything they need without the fluff. The ANME Show promoters understand that busy distributors and buyers need a trade show environment free of clutter, fanfare, and attendees who don't make buying decisions. How frustrating is it for a buyer to be forced to elbow their way through a crowded trade show floor only to find the booth they're visiting bursting at the seams with other visitors? It is important for distributors and buyers to have a trade show environment void of unnecessary distractions. It is important for you to be able to get down to business.

The Topco Sales 2009 Super Catalog released this July will include old and new item numbers for ease of use. Subsequent catalogs will exclusively use the new item numbers. Old item numbers can still be used when placing orders.

The Official Outdoor Sexin' Checklist
By Justina Walford
Summer is on its way and the sun is out to play! This means it's time for frolicking nature bangers to bare their bodies and show the world (or at least their sexiest friend) that there is no place the sun don't shine.
Here's a great outdoor playtime checklist for the discerning open-air sex enthusiast:
- Lubricant
Things can get sticky when playing in the dirt. Lubes in easy to handle tubes, flip-cap bottles or packets are a sure way to keep the ride smooth and slick.
- Toys
Since silicone, Jel-Lee, and rubber toys can gather particles, glass and hard plastic is the way to go.
- Go remote
Players can play hide and seek with a twist. Remote controlled toys add a racy dimension to splitting up the terrain.
- Clean-Up
A bottle of toy cleaner assures no unexpected bumps with toys and body wipes help everyone clean up and go.
There are items not carried in adult stores that are essential to a jaunty trip. Spice up your window or entry display with these handy props:
Sunscreen – We're exposing delicate body parts, here.
Flashlight – For marathon play that goes into the night or spelunkers.
Blanket – For when the police show up.
