April Flores Busts Out in Bizarre, Takes Toy Exhibit to San Francisco
By Kevin Johnson
Topco Sales will sponsor its second art exhibit dedicated to the April Flores Voluptuous CyberSkin Pussy replica. The first exhibit, curated by Carlos Batts, was held in May at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles where eight world renowned artists showcased originals works using the April Flores replica as a canvas.
The new exhibit will take place on September 16 at Good Vibrations' Polk Street Gallery in San Francisco as part of the GV Erotic Indie Film Festival. The evening will also serve as a pre-release celebration for 'Glamazons,' a new DVD starring Flores.
"BBW fans are going to think they've died and gone to heaven," says Carlos Batts, Curator. "We have all eight of the artists that participated in the first exhibit at La Luz de Jesus in May, and we've added five new local artists from the San Francisco area. The best part of all is that it's free and open to the public!"
April's popularity has been steadily increasing over the last year or so and the April Flores art exhibit is just one example. The plus size beauty recently landed her second cover and photo spread in Bizarre, an alternative lifestyle magazine based in the United Kingdom. Her first cover and photo spread for the periodical was a hit last summer, inciting a wave of responses from readers demanding more of the plus size beauty.
According to its website, BizarreMag.com, the magazine's mailboxes were "stuffed to overflowing with emails asking for extra pictures, wanting to know more about her, and gagging for another dollop of April in action." For the shoot, April tells Novelty News that she was flown to Montreal where she was on location for three days with an additional day for sightseeing.
"My trip to Montreal was lots of fun!" she says. "I had an extra day to explore the beautiful city. I went to 'Old Montreal' which is near the water and had a great time people watching. While I was there I also had the creamiest, most delicious sorbet I have ever tasted. I also discovered 'poutine,' which are french fries covered in cheese curds and gravy! That was delicious too. The shoot was a full day of hard work, but I had a blast and I love how the magazine turned out."
For those who do not subscribe to the magazine, the complete photo spread can be seen on the magazine's website along with a behind-the-scenes video. Prints of the photographs are also available for sale in the Bizarre Archives.
Savvy retailers can increase sales by capitalizing on April's popularity by socking and proudly displaying the Wildfire Celebrity Series April Flores Voluptuous CyberSkin Pussy from Topco Sales.

Two Inventive Twists on the Typical Stroker from the Penthouse Pet Collection
By Annalee Wooster
Penthouse has known – and delivered – what men crave for 40 years. In a sex toy industry brimming with competition in the "realistic" strokers department, Penthouse has set themselves apart with the Laura Doone inspired 40th Anniversary 1974 Hairy Vibrating Pussy and the Justine Jolie Foot Job Stroker.
Released to coincide with Penthouse Magazine's 40th Anniversary, the 1974 Hairy Vibrating Pussy is made of amazingly realistic CyberSkin material with hand placed, silky pubic hairs. By far the bushiest addition to the Penthouse Pet Collection, this unique toy pays homage to a bygone era, when Brazilian waxing hadn't yet crossed the Panama Canal and American women were still au natural.
"With her hourglass figure and all natural bush, Laura Doone personified the look of the 1970's," says Amanda Byrd, Director of Licensing for Penthouse Magazine. "She was a Penthouse Pet in the October 1974 issue of Penthouse magazine and was named Penthouse Pet of the Year two years later. Doone still has fans to this day who actively post messages and correspond with one another in online forums dedicated to her existence."
On the other end of the space-time continuum is the very modern Justine Joli CyberSkin Foot Job Stroker, the first foot fetish offering in the Penthouse Pet Collection. Also made of CyberSkin, Justine's unbelievably realistic feet grip and stroke a man with her soft, raised arches.
"This isn't just some replica of a hot chick's pretty feet," explains Miranda Lancaster, Director of Product Development for Topco Sales. "This is Penthouse Pet Justine Joli's perfect, size 6 ½ feet, made with CyberSkin and Topco Sales' Dual Density technology. This gives it a lifelike quality like no other faux-skin products on the market and Justine Joli's CyberSkin Foot Job Stroker feels like there are real bones inside the feet!"
Give these two toys a prominent place in your store. Even in the box, they will grab the attention of any passer-by. But try setting out a "tester" of the Justine Joli CyberSkin Foot Job Stroker so people can feel the amazing Dual Density technology which wraps soft skin around a firm inner core. People are already talking about these two toys! Let shoppers discover them at your store.

Pink and Black: Joanna Angel Puts Halloween in the Pink
By Justina Walford
The year sure does fly, especially when you're a buyer. To the country, Fourth of July just passed. In the world of retail, Halloween is just around the corner. While we all know the Halloween staples-sexy costumes with their sexy props and gag Halloween gear-we often pass up another retail goldmine and the whole purpose of Halloween.
Halloween is a time to shed our inhibitions and take a look at the darker side of our sexuality. For some it's a whip and some cuffs, for others its anal toys or a little exhibitionism at local haunted hotel. No one is better suited to show us our darker selves in true Halloween fashion than Joanna Angel.
A porn sensation who works as successfully in the horror genre as she does in the adult genre, Angel shows us you can get some kink in between creepshows. In the horror realm, Angel was behind the sexy scares in Slumber Party Slaughterhouse: The DVD Game and The Sick & Twisted Horror of Joanna Angel movies.
And at Topco Sales, she is the face of Joanna Angel's Burning Angel Toys, a line with daring sex gear like the Slit Licker and the Brass Knuckles Butt Plug; or her accessories like the Nipple Gems and Blunt Blindfold Set. Joanna Angel's Burning Angel Toys make it easier to expose what's on your mind. Check out the line and offer the prettiest dark side of sex.
