Hoke, who was on hand to accept the award, credits his 28 stores in nine states with helping put the Adam & Eve Retail Division on the map.

"Adam & Eve has been around for nearly 40 years," said Hoke. "We started as the first adult mail order company, then were one of the first adult retailers on the internet with http://www.adam eve.com. We have a long history or 'firsts' and I see the Adam & Eve Stores as the next progression in this list of successes."

With franchise agreements for 70 additional stores, and current stores opening monthly and spanning coast to coast, Hoke plans on a total of 50 retail stores being open by the end of 2009.

The Storerotica Awards were held Wednesday, August 27, at the Joint nightclub at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Besides "Retailer of the Year," other awards were given for such categories as "Adult Novelty Manufacturer of the Year" and "Adult Film Studio of the Year."

Upon arrival in New Zealand, Kayden was questioned and detained at the airport by security for over five hours regarding her purpose in the country. Questioned about her role at the Erotica Expo and her form of payment and provisions, Kayden was finally released by the head of security (who later asked for an autograph at the Expo).

Since 2000, the Erotica Expo has been a well-attended, yet controversial, event in the relatively conservative New Zealand. Drawing crowds of over 100,000, the highlight of the Expo is the "Boobs on Bikes" event, where topless women ride on motorcycles through the streets of Auckland.

At one point during this year's parade, Kayden was approached by a man who groped her exposed breast. When Kayden pushed him away, he punched her in the head. Shaken, but not badly hurt, Kayden asked for security to hold the man but he got away. She has since filed a police report.

"I have seen both the good and the bad sides of New Zealand," says Kayden. "Would these experiences keep me from coming back? No," she muses. "But I would definitely ask for extra security."

And here's another thing to bring a little happiness. To prove how good the Original London Banger really is, the London Banger people are giving samples away to hungry commuters at Waterloo Station on November 6th 2008.

It's all here. Good news, great taste, fantastic price - something for Londoners to celebrate all round! Shame about the weather - but there you go!

Photocall and interview opportunity with the Original London Banger Spokesperson

They'll explain how The Original London Banger was bought about. After all, if Stilton can have a cheese and Melton Mowbray a Pork Pie - surely London needs a sausage to call it's own.

Thursday 6th November: Waterloo Station- look for the Original London Banger stand with Union Jacks!

What Londoners say

"Best sausages I've had for an age" "Lubbly jubbly!"

"Cor blimey guvnor, whats it all about then, London Bangers?! Needs to get a few of them down me!"

Note to Editors: The Original London Banger is a new sausage, now available in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Somerfield and Morrissons stores inside the M25. British Sausage week runs from 3rd to 9th November 2008. It is run by The British Sausage Appreciation Society, which has awarded the Original London Banger the Landmark Banger Award in the manufacturers division. Embargoed until 3rd November 2008.
