Has it been a year already? Well I guess that it has but here we are once again and ready to sear our senses with the findings at the annual NYC Hot Sauce Expo. This is the fifth straight one and if you love that spicy elixir and haven’t paid a visit to the event yet, please click HERE to see the past event overviews. Once again the event would take place at the Brooklyn Expo Center which we like quite a bit. Let’s get right on down to the photos and some awesome vendors.

My train ride to the event today left my brain a little frazzled so I didn’t know how I wanted to begin my exploration.  I figured a quick wander first before photos would be a good idea and that makes me begin with some cool offerings at the Hellfire Hot Sauce table.  In addition to the incendiary elixirs, they make some awesome accessories and jewelry.

Scenes From The New York International Auto Show 2017: Part 4

Hello again my friends and welcome to another installment of my photographic presentation from the 2017 NY International Auto Show. I’m picking up where I left off in CHAPTER THREE, so hopefully you’ve seen that one first before continuing along. Click that highlighted text if you haven’t because I am not in a rush here at all. As I’ve noted already, I attended one day of the massive event and did so for free thanks to the fine folks at Toyota who were giving away a whole bunch of tickets. I wasn’t “press” for this happening but maybe next year I will look into that. Here we go. I will not be talking much during these photos.

Exploring Toy Fair 2017: Safari Ltd.

As previously noted, The Chronicles Of Piercing Ken lifestyle blog was once again attending the American International Toy Fair over at the Javits Center and now with the event over and done with the time has come to load up the outlet with all of the amazing sights and products that were offered up by some incredible companies. I’m continuing the posts with one of our personal favorites – Safari Ltd. Let’s go.

I’m a big fan of the stuff that comes out from Safari Ltd. and cannot emphasize their quality enough to our readers.  They are both educational (since they look so much like their subject) and fun.  What is better than that.  With this post I’ll be focusing on the new offerings and some more familiar ones as we close out.  Do you not just love this dragon?  I know you do.

The mythical creatures look great and wow, is that a werewolf?  It sure is.

Exploring Toy Fair 2017: Crayola

I’m going to begin our presentation of Toy Fair 2017 visuals with the time-honored brand of Crayola. I’m pretty sure that everyone reading this website has owned a box or ten of their wonderful crayons and now with most of us being parents or older siblings and such to younger ones, the developments from this company are to be admired. Here we go.

I love the Crayola appointment because they have everything at stations and you get walked around to each and every one of them and get a demonstration of the latest product. This first item is called the “Magic Scene Creator” and it looked pretty interesting.  Not only do you color on the screen but you can add these little character plastic pieces.  Neat right?
