ESCAPE YOUR REALITY, this truly rings true this year with everything going on. Once you’ve stepped into the convention center and go up those escalators, you’ll forgot all the problems that’s going on (at least temporary) I must admit this venue is really nice, just look at the main entrance below.
Above and below: 1st floor also had WOE (World Oddities Event) Very interesting show indeed!
And yes that eye will FOLLOW you as you move!!
As a side note, this is my 2nd year in Chicago for EXXXOTICA and this year things are definitely a lot smoother. (We had issues with security last year)
Below are some random snapshots before the crowd gets in. There’s huge section just for products!
Above and below: Your usual suspect MyFreeCams.com, new (I believe) is PaySite.com as they took over Pro 13 spot. Don’t worry Pro 13 is right behind them. And of course Chaturbate is there, nice booth!
Above and Below: Stage is a MADHOUSE as usual.
This is what’s so great about attending EXXXOTICA as they will always have something interesting you’ll want to see on stage. Trust me, you’ll want to stay for the entire event in order to catch all the stage performances.
Above: EXXXOTICA Dungeon experience was INSANE this year, never seen so many people!!!
Above: Vampiress Aeturnus is about to do her fire show, at least we know where the FIRE EXITS are! 🙂

Above: Going to spare the suspense and present the winner here! 🙂 Note she also won Ms. EXXXOTICA
I must admit this year is definitely different (a lot more people came out) vs last year (which is a good thing) Myself and (imagesbyray) were there all 3 days, even Sunday there’s still people coming in. It was super crowded Friday, it’s also Ladies Night but it was not like this last year. I don’t know what the numbers are but it was tough just to move around the convention center as it’s super crowded. Saturday didn’t pick up till later the evening then of course Sunday is usually the slowest day.
Anyway, enough of me babbling about the show. Check back here for tons of photos (from Ray) and videos (those will be on our instagram first)

4/16/26 Update: Ray is still hard at work on his photos, don’t worry, it’s coming real soon!! In the mean time, there’s almost 20 new videos on our instagram And as a side note, we won’t be posting any new adult videos on YouTube due to their strict policy.
