Strap, zip, buckle and snap it, because come March 20 you’d better be strutting your kinky stuff on down to NYC’s Roseland Ballroom for the very first BPX: The Black Party® Expo & Bazaar. Presented by The Saint At Large–the New York-based organization behind the notorious fetish-oriented The Black Party®–and benefitting the LGBT Center (NYC) and hosted by Acid Betty, this day-long event is your ticket to a trip "Behind The Scenes At The World's Sexiest Party." Having just announced that all exhibitor and vendor booths have sold out (including one for free HIV/STD testing), BPX: The Black Party® Expo & Bazaar promises an afternoon of frisky fun. Here are 10 reasons why you need to be there:1.  Curiosity. It may have killed the cat, but... horndogs worldwide are jetting in for the most famous fetish event of the year. For those who’ve never had the balls (or codpiece) to venture into The Black Party®, but are twitching for a peek inside, to be fitted for their first piece of “gear,” or preview that night’s spectacularly theatrical performances, BPX: The Black Party® Expo & Bazaar is for you.

2.  The Gift Bag. Porn DVDs, loads of gifts from hot porn and hook-up sites + your limited edition “Exposed,” the commemorative BPX: The Black Party® Expo guide, created by NYC art collective, Spank Zine, featuring specially commissioned artwork and fiction.

3.  Pop Your Leather Cherry. New to the scene? Leather/fetish vendors like Rubio Leather, Bonding Co., Leather Man, Steve Leather, or Fort Troff will firmly guide you into the right Black Party® gear for you.

4.  Toys. Buy your first—or complete the collection! Fondle and finger the most innovative sex toys (WTF is it?) and lubes from Fort Troff and Pjur Lubricants.

5. The Boot Black Man & The Barber. So hot you’ll wanna buy a pair (on the spot) just to get ‘em polished, then step up for a crew-cut, flat-top or buzz to complete your Black Party® look.

6.  The Black Party® Portrait. Yours. Get professionally photographed by the official Rites XXXI: The Black Party® portrait photographer Robert Zash and pre-order his forthcoming book, “Black Party® Portraits.” (The original Black Party® portrait photographer was Robert Mapplethorpe.)

7.  The “Strange Live Acts.” Legendary and, until The Black Party® Expo, only seen in the wee hours of The Black Party®. Performances throughout the afternoon.

8.  3D Porn. With Dominic Ford + DVD autographs by porn gods like Owen Hawk, Alexander Baresi, Arpad Miklos, Rafael Alencar, Junior Stellano, Barrett Long, Ray Dragon, Avi Dar, Ricky Sinz and many more will autographing their newest DVDs from studios like Lucas Entertainment, Dark Alley, Chocolate Cream Factory, Eurocreme.

9.  Take A Beating Sitting Down. Drop your load (you’ll be shopping, remember), grab a drink, and get a lapdance from the toughest go-go boys in town, all to the beats of DJ Will and Sean B (of Spank Zine), Nita Aviance, and Vaughn Allure.
10.  Fetish Fashion Stomp. Watch our men rock the runway in the toughest fetish gear from NY Jox, Le Dame Footwear, Nasty Pig, and many others—then turn around and buy it!
