Exxxotica New Jersey 2025

Exxxotica's East Coast edition runs every fall in Edison, New Jersey — the East Coast bookend to the Chicago expo. Same brand, different audience. NJ pulls a different crowd than Chicago: more local New York and Philly fans, a different vibe on the floor, and a slightly more relaxed weekend pace because the venue is smaller.

The 2025 NJ Expo ran October 24–26 at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison. I worked the floor for all three days alongside the rest of the BBW performer lineup. Friday was Ladies Free Friday again — the pattern holds across all Exxxotica cities, and it actually changes the demographic for that day in interesting ways.

What was different about the 2025 NJ run:

• The Edison venue is smaller than Rosemont, which means the lines get tighter and the energy on the floor compresses. Different but not worse.
• The fan crowd is heavily East Coast — different fan base than Chicago, with a lot of overlap with the NYC and Philly content economies.
• The exhibitor mix leans slightly different: more cam platforms, more clip-store reps, more independent creators selling direct.

If you came up to say hi in Edison, thank you — the line went late on Saturday. If you missed this one, the next Exxxotica I'm working is Chicago 2026, April 10–12. Photos from Edison are in the gallery — the venue-approved ones, anyway.
