COVERAGE: Real Detroit Weekly -- Oct 5, 2010

Story by Kathrine Lynx

What do you do when you've overpaid a band and realize you need money to cover your costs? If you're Maria Wade, you create the Detroit Erotica Ball.
Spawned four years ago, created in just three weeks, the Erotica Ball opened Wade's eyes to a new world. "I had a friend who was a photographer who knew a bit about that world, and I gave him a call and he helped me get in touch with the right people," she explains. The initial concept for the Ball stemmed from the people in the erotica world. Noticing the beauty they encompassed, along with their benevolence, Wade was drawn in. "I can't even explain. There's no prejudice in that world. I've watched people from all creeds ... come together in one room and I've never seen a confrontation. Everyone treats each other with the greatest respect and you see nothing but smiling faces the whole night," Wade gushes.
That first year, the Erotica Ball saw 1,000 attendees. This year, Wade is expecting people to come, not only from out of state, but also from out of the country.

The Provocative Art of Fuzzytek @ DEB 4

Fuzzytek is going through photos taken over the past five years to select those to be used for artwork at the show. Some will be original photos and others available as prints.

Limited Edition Prints Available

Are you interested in getting your hands on a limited edition print of advertising posters used for past Detroit Erotica Ball events? Your first opportunity to get your hands on one will be at the Fourth Annual Detroit Erotica Ball on Saturday, October 9. Only 25 prints of each poster are going to be made available. Each will be signed and numbered by the graphics artist and photographer for the piece. Price per poster will be $75.

There are several posters available - the one depicted was used as the main poster for the 2nd Annual Detroit Erotica Ball.

If you know how the event has been growing from year to year, you'll see that this is an opportunity that very well may create a sold-out set of prints with none remaining after the event. If you are unable to make it to the event and wish to place a reservation on a print the price is $125.

Please contact stephen@fuzzytek.com regarding purchase and shipping arrangements for advance reservations.
