This is made even easier due to the fact that at the main landing point you can get a folder that contains landmarks for the themed areas as well as a list of merchants. Little things like this make exploring an event much easier and far more relaxing.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Vanity, by Ciaran Laval on Flickr!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/20885035091\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5807\/20885035091_02743559a3.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vanity\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However an important point to note is that this is an adult themed event, therefore you may well encounter adult merchandise and themes as you wander around. This should not be unexpected for a venture such as this, but please ensure that you are aware that the event is adult rated. I did not see any debauchery on my visit.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Envy, by Ciaran Laval on Flickr!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/20257255843\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5627\/20257255843_788f53118d.jpg?resize=500%2C294&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Envy\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The word on the street was that <a href=\"http:\/\/strawberrysingh.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Strawberry Singh<\/a> had returned from an epic summer holiday and could be <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/+StrawberrySinghinSL\/posts\/BwSxmnNZXhy\" target=\"_blank\">found in a poster for Envy<\/a>.
