Exploring The Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” 2016; Part 2

Hello again my friends and welcome back. I’m continuing on with the exploration of The Toy Insider’s “Holiday Of Play” event which was held at the Manhattan Penthouse. The first chapter of this coverage can be seen HERE if you somehow missed it and since we are walking aisle by aisle you’ll want to look at that one first.

Exploring The Toy Insider “Holiday Of Play” 2016; Part 1

Back in July, I attended an event called “Sweet Suite” which was a part of the larger “Blogger Bash” conference and was set up by the fine folks at Toy Insider. If you’re new to the website and missed those posts please click through onto THIS LINK so you can learn what it was all about. It was a good time for sure but now we are diving in to another event that they do called “Holiday Of Play”. To give you a better idea of what this one is, I reached back in time to their own website where it was lined out as…

“HoliDAY of Play event is where 120 bloggers, vloggers, and members of the press will meet face-to-face with some of the top companies in the toy industry and get hands-on experience with the best toys on the market.”

The sign in the lobby sent us up to the penthouse of this Manhattan skyrise and when we close up on this one I will make sure to post a visual from “way up here”.  Next up is the “step and repeat” for those who wanted a quick photo op.

Attending “Black Tie, Black Leather” at Harley-Davidson of NYC (12/12/2013): Part 2

Hello my friends and welcome back. For those who are late to the program, this is the second chapter of a two part narrative discussing the recent “Black Tie, Black Leather” event that was held at Harley-Davidson of NYC. I had been fortunate that PiercingMetal was among the accredited press at the showroom for the unveiling of several new bikes and if you didn’t see the first chapter yet, please click HERE so you are up to speed and then come back and continue the journey with us. Skeleton Pete and I were having a blast exploring this event and now its time to get to the rest of the nights fun. Get your motor running.

I’m going to jump around a little bit in this post since its going to feature a whole gamut of items.  These looked like sturdy backpacks.

There were several awesome vendors in attendance at the party and attendees could sample the wonderful William Wolf bourbon.  I’m not really a spirits guy and I was loving this.  Of course this should only be enjoyed in moderation.

Attending “Black Tie, Black Leather” at Harley-Davidson of NYC (12/12/2013): Part 1

Just recently, PiercingMetal had the honor of being one of the accredited press at a grand event for the Harley-Davidson NYC showroom.  The event was called “Black Tie Black Leather” and would unveil several awesome new bikes and a bevy of accessories.  I donned my basic blacks and zipped up my leather MC jacket and headed into the mix with my good friend and occasional PiercingMetal contributor, “Skeleton Pete” Parrella.  With this being more of a lifestyle event than something Metal, I felt that the coverage of the event would fit in here the best so after you enjoy the amazing new logo for the brand and its location you will be taken on a very cool ride as I present you the bikes, the merchandise and the beautiful people all around me. Let’s roll…..

These bikes were stationed around the showroom main floor and could be seen from the outside streets of the Big Apple.  Those who had lined up to participate at the event were drooling at their overall beauty and power of machine.  I couldn’t blame them as they were fantastic looking.  I did my best to get a photograph of all of the bikes around the windows.
