| Esta
es una entrevista impresionante, porque he tenido el gran
placer de entrevistar a Vesta, promotora del mítico
festival FetishCon. El FetishCon es un festival anual
que se celebra en Tampa, Florida, EEUU, de temática
bondage y también bdsm y fetish, donde se reúnen
y se encuentran los mejores bondagers (atadores) y las
mejores modelos del mundo en este temática, y también
miles de visitantes que les guste el bondage. Ahora mismo
es uno de los festivales más importantes en todo
el mundo.
|
| En
la entrevista Vesta me enseña muchas cosas del
festival, y es muy interesante. Es una entrevista maravillosa.
Vesta me enseña cómo es el festival, cómo
llegar, qué es el festival, y muchos otros detalles
del festival. También nos enseña que las
mujeres también triunfan y ganan en un negocio
dominado por los hombres. Vesta nos enseña que
es una mujer muy valiente, muy fuerte, y es una entrevista
muy simpática y divertida. |

| The
event starts on Thursday nite with what we call our meet
and greet..basically a cocktail party where everyone meets
and mingles, has a bar and its just a nice party. It has
become one of our most popular events. Starting Friday
around noon and running to late Friday afternoon the convention
area is open for everyone to come in and shop, as well
as attend lectures , demos etc . Saturday and most of
Sunday is similar. Friday and Saturday night there are
big parties at local area clubs that are Fetish Themed.
Sunday nite we have a big party at the hotel kind of a
end of event blow out we have some performances etc. |

Christie

| Is
it difficult to organize a festival of this grandeur?
Do you need a lot of money? Do many permits? A long time?.
|
| |
|
|
| X |
|
|
| ..
Vesta
.......... - FetishCon Festival |
| It
is a bit difficult to organize something like this. It
takes money and time, we get sponsors from big companies
like http://www.clips4sale.com
We also do have to obtain liability insurances and such.
Setting the con up is not a full time job but it does
take several hours a week more as we get closer. |

Christie
Biel |
| How
many people visit the festival each day?.
|
| |
|
|
| X |
|
|
| ..
Vesta
.......... - FetishCon Festival |
| Around
1500 to 2000 people attend each day. |

|
|
| ..
Christie
Biel |
| What
can you find people in the festival? Is there much variety?.
|
| |
|
|
| X |
|
|
| ..
Vesta
.......... - FetishCon Festival |
| I
like to think the con has a lot of variety, id say most
of the big fetishs have something going with bondage being
the biggest in attendance. But each year we try and add
new stuff. |
| |
|
|
| X |
|
|
| ..
Christie
Biel |
| How
many models have been, in all these years, the festival
FetishCon?. |
| |
|
|
| X |
|
|
| ..
Vesta
.......... - FetishCon Festival |
| Hmm
hard question, we dont keep that data handy but if I had
to guess maybe 2000 models have attended over the years... |

Christie
Biel |
| How
many Exhibitors have participated in all these years at
the festival?. |
| |
|
|

|
|
| ..
Vesta
.......... - FetishCon Festival |
| Again
good question and if I had to guess id say 600 or 700
have vended for us over the years. We have several vendors
who have been with us every year since we began. |

Christie
Biel |
| For
foreign visitors (for example, I live in Barcelona, Spain
), are there many hotels near the festival? Does the festival
hotels?. |
| |
|
|
| X |
|
|
| ..
Vesta
.......... - FetishCon Festival |
| There
are several hotels within cab ride from ours but we strongly
encourage everyone to stya at our hotel. That helps out
the con greatly because to get the hotel to do the con
we have to guareentee we fill it up. If we don't we have
to pay for the unused rooms. We have a good crowd of Foreign
visitors maybe 200 or so each year some are models some
are photogs and some are simply fans. |

you are local to our area driving is best but if you are
an out of state visitor, the hotel has a shuttle service
that picks you up and brings you to the hotel and then
there are cabs etc around the city if you want to go sight
see. |

Vesta

| Hmmm
we have a lot of good information on the convention web
site plus a few other places people chat about it at like
our yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FetishCon/
The con is a lot of fun and a great place to network if
you are in the business, hire models if you need or get
models for your own work. It is also a place for fans
to meet like minded fans as well. The festival caters
to both groups very well i think. It is a fun time and
I like to think a very good experience. |
