Welcome back my friends, so when we last met here on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I had mentioned that the PiercingMetal side of the creative coin was well into the coverage of the recently held Toy Fair. Now I’m officially doing double duty since there was a bunch of visuals that make more sense being featured over here. I’ll continue along with limited narrative so you can just indulge and enjoy the proceedings. This was a photo-op of Ms. Rachel who I am told by the friends who are parents is quite the big deal. It would have been fun to meet such a personality but that was not meant to be.
Last week, the Toy Association’s Toy Fair took over the Javits Center for its massive industry trade show and I attended the event as one of the accredited media as I’ve been doing since first taking the plunge back in 2011. For years I’ve done this for the PiercingMetal outlet based on my focus on all of the Kidult collectibles and assorted offerings. Now it’s time to expand the findings with some posts for “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”.
While I’ve been posting over on PiercingMetal for the better part of a week, there are aspects of the Toy Fair that don’t really fit into the context of a Heavy Metal and Geek Culture website. There’s a ribbon cutting and statements and even a fun character parade with a live band. All of that is perfect content for “The Chronicles” so let’s begin with some of the parade and the ribbon cutting.
