Going to the Yakima Motorcycle Show with Carole was a blast! I love motorcycles and I love trade shows, and having our Scentsy booth there seemed like a good idea... at the time.
This is our booth. Notice our wonderful displays, the room sprays, the plug ins, the warmers, even the turning display full of Scentsy bars. No, don't get distracted by the skanky lingerie in the booth next door. Notice our prize drawing kettle, yes, there are a lot of choices in lingerie, but stay focused! This is family show, or so we were told.

These are some of the friends I made at the show. There is Sabrina and Delta, then we have Barbi, Lola, Marissa, and Deserae, of course then there is me and Hawk, then Sabrina and Delta wanted me to pose with them in a butt shot (nice, I know, poor girls - they have nothing compared to me), then Sabrina and Delta were being so... you know, "Oh, there's a camera?! Oh!" and I edited this picture because, well, it was nearly pornographic.
Really though, they were all darling girls and Hawk was a very interesting guy. He is the president of his Seattle based Motorcycle club. I made up all the names except for Hawk.
Some of the many activities a family could enjoy at this family based motorcycle show included boxing, tattooing, piercings, shopping for Scentsy and lingerie (you know we set the atmosphere, they provide the wardrobe), listening to one of many tribute bands. This picture was the ZZ Top tribute band, but we were accosted with, I mean favored with, tribute bands for Metallica, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and several others. Unfortunately, while the bands played we couldn't hear anyone or talk to anyone, so business suffered.
The things I didn't get pictures of included the many beer gardens and wine show, the glass blower who was making bongs and pipes (so talented), all the motorcycle booths, the mostly naked and adorned manikins, modeling tattoos and safety-pinned together clothing, and the ever popular Mardi-gras booth that would give you beads if you flashed them. Dang, I didn't get any beads!
So, who wants to come with us next year?

But how was business? I like how you are opening new market bases, next maybe the tattoo fair or the monster truck! Everyone wants to smell good, no matter their hobby.
But I feel sorry for the girls. Do you think they weren't sufficiently loved by their fathers thus have low self-esteem (and no class in my opinion)
Business was good. As you said, everyone wants their abode to smell good.
The thing about the girls that bugged me the most was all the younger teenage girls and pre-teens watching them. I even saw a dad get his picture taken with these same 4 girs (Barbi, Lola, Marissa, and Des). Then he had his daughter get her picture taken with them. She was probably about 10 years old. It made me sad!
Yikes about the dad and the pictures. YUCK!
The booth looks awesome. I hope it was fun.
I LOVE your new header!
Oh Kristen, You are funny. This is a terrific post. I love your "scents" of humor.
Really though, how did you guys do? I bet if I hit a home show out here I'd be rich. Your booth looks terrific. Come here and do a show with me! I can't promise naked ladies though...
Oh, this is so funny. I was really wanting to see photos after you told me about the show. Your commentary is perfect! Thanks for the laugh.

Wow. I agree with you...those poor girls - they don't even make enough money to buy clothes that fit.
I think you should go again next year with the portable motorcycle scentsy.
I LOVE the booty picture!
Kristen,
Unbelievable. I haven't laughed this hard at a blog post in weeks. You are funny.
Maybe you can market a battery-powered scentsy that attaches to a biker's handlebars.
