Name: BDSM DomCon 2025! Wanna learn more about BDSM & its culture? Seminars & Vendors!
Start: 2025-06-07T16:30:00.000Z
Location: The Hilton LAX

Ever wondered about the **doll & toy industry**... or what it's like to rub elbows with **die hard doll fans**? Well, gather 'round and let's take a *Reading Rainbow trip* to a bonafide **Doll & Toy Show!**

**11 am:**
We'll start with a group brunch at ***The Leta*** *(as in go-LETA)*, ***a hipster & vintage motel*** with a western/boho theme. Picture macramé on the wall, puka shell curtains, a steer's skull above the lobby fireplace, a silver airstream out front, and a little alcove devoted to neon signage & records.

Decided by group vote, a prize will go to the person who comes up with the best description of The Leta’s decor. Mine is “Western Boho”. Okay…. go!

**AFTER BRUNCH:**
Meander to the *Elks Lodge* to experience all the **AWE** and **CREEP** and **KOOK** and **CUTE** and **NOSTALGIC** and **EDUCATIONAL** that is - ***A DOLL & TOY SHOW !!***

Leave whenever you'd like!
You are also welcome to skip brunch and just meet us at the Doll Show!

One of our members has a background in the doll industry and will be able to tell us great stories!

Although this definitely falls into the **Kooky Zone** - *which is why we are going, duh!* \- see photos in the album to get an idea of **what the event ACTUALLY looks like**.... and a reminder all kooks **must be respectful of the industry & doll products** \- no matter how creepy or culturally inappropriate\.

This is just a great opportunity to **meet new people**, have **brunch at a hipster place**, and learn a bit more about **this slice of Americana!**

***Let's do this!***

If you have tried to quit Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Pepsi, Diet Mountain Dew, and any other diet soda but keep going back, this ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP is for you. Here you will find encouragement, understanding, and tools to help you break free from diet soda & aspartame addiction!

**What to expect:**

1. A compassionate, non-judgemental space

**DomCon 2025 is here! Want to know more about the world of BDSM** but don't necessarily want to participate? **Wanna try it but don't know where to start? Super into BDSM already**?

Come to the **annual BDSM convention** where we'll have all-day access to **demos, workshops, seminars, panel discussions**, **TONS OF VENDORS**, and incredible people watching!

**This is a CONVENTION at a HILTON HOTEL; don't freak out.** It's a safe place to learn and ***you do NOT need to participate in BDSM.***

Obviously, everyone needs to be 18yo+. DomCon will check IDs at the door.

[BUY TICKETS for SATURDAY (click link)](https://www.domcon.com/events/68866/orders/new)

**WHAT IS BDSM?**
*Acronym:*
**Bondage / Discipline /Dominance / Submission / Sadism / Masochism**

**"BDSM involve a variety of often erotic consensual practices** involving dominance, submission, control, sadism, and masochism that can incorporate bondage, discipline, role-playing, and power exchange. It spans various intimate dynamics including voyeurism, exhibitionism, and controlled scenerios.

BDSM is a term used to cover a large range of activities, behaviors, and desires that **are considered non-normative in mainstream culture** *(aka kooky - which is why we are going!).* **Consent and safety are paramount for practitioners of BDSM.**"

**$50 for the day ($60 at the door)**
Includes:

* Demos
* Workshops
* Seminars
* Panel discussions
* Access to tons of vendor booths
* Souvenir program

**$40**
**"Play Party" (THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BUY AHEAD!!!)**
This is where it gets racy. **The** **Saturday Night Fetish Ball** is a "play party" which means there is the **option to actually participate in BDSM**. ***Your host will not be attending the play party, but please feel free to do so***.

\*\*\* This entire day is at your own risk. Kooky Adventures is solely your liaison & companion to all things unique and atypical that usually involve an educational element.

**Kooky Adventures** staunchly believes in creating a rare & precious space that encourages **RADICAL AUTHENTICITY**, the ability to say no and have that be a complete sentence, to not speak or socialize whatsoever if that’s how you feel most comfortable, and **BE FREE OF JUDGEMENT** for being "different" or enjoying things that are “different”.

***Any Judgy-Mc-Judgingtons in our group (of fellow adventurers OR of the BDSM culture) will swiftly be asked to separate and kook-out on their own.***

From the photos I found (see album) it looks like people are dressed up in a theme of BDSM. Please feel free to participate or just wear street clothes. I will email the organization and ask about attire as well as food options while at the event.

**RSVPing in MeetUp**: Due to the sensitive nature of this event, I removed the "guest" option. **Each attendee needs to RSVP individually** so I’ll have their information. I want to keep any litigious-fun to a minimum, lol.

**Kooks, buckle up. This is gonna be the most far-out yet!**
Bring a notebook, cash, a stick of gum, glasses if you wear them (you won't want to miss a thing), a **respectful attitude**, and an **open mind**!
