Bad experience at Erotica: an open letter

[Jonone]

How pedantic ! I don't think the vest is material evidence.

yes blue he did, the female newcomer award was announced as 'the Joe A award for female newcomer' and was presented by Terry Stephens.

Yes Joe did get a mewntion as I was the one who presented The Joe Adelman newcomers award to Kaz B. Bless her little cotton socks, she was all shy and coy but I felt honored to do that and with a sense of irony cos Joe really got on well with Kaz and JJ

With regard to Starr being manhandled by Savvas, surely that's a case of assault? Maybe someone should make a complaint to the police and have him charged?

I'd love to see all the major players in the industry pull out of Erotica as Savvas is no more than a glorified car boot sale organiser. Erotica was never particularly good, reached a (quite low) peak about 4 years ago and has steadily descended into a mire of its own making ever since.

So a rule was broken (and I'd be amazed if she was the only one) - the point is that the "punishment" doesn't even vaguely befit the crime.
Considering the effort that Strictly Broadband put into their stand over the weekend I reckon the organisers could've been an awful lot more lenient towards them. The "quiet word in the ear" would've done the trick perfectly.

The variety of famous stars appearing over the weekend would surely have had a massive impact on the ticket sales, and having the constant stream of SB attired girls on show would've gathered an awful lot of attention, so to then basically ruin SB's stand as "gratitude" takes the p**s something chronic.

At the end of the day I'm just a fan and possibly shouldn't be jamming my fourpenneth in but I sincerely hope that something can be done to compensate those who have been messed about so heavy-handedly.

Makaris is a well known pedant elsewhere... and a c**t!!! What a shame he's found his way here!

Quite simply, having visited briefly on Saturday and as usual, having found plenty of interesting people to talk to, but feeling underwhelmed by the show itself, the whole reason for coming back on Sunday was to see some of the girls lined-up for SB's stand.
No SB, no Erotica, you could say - I shall think long and hard before returning next year in the light of this.
Sounds like absolutely shameful behaviour, and I think Bob S is right - arguably a case of assault at the very least.

This year was my first trip to Erotica and me and my wife had a great time. As mentioned an another thread Starr was one of the people that made me leave the event with a smile on my face. I'm sure that this sort of man-handling is not acceptable and really hope that some kind of consoldiation can be met, both for Starr and for Strictly Broadband.
