who told WTOP<\/a> that their major sponsors are tech companies that host webcams.<\/p>\n\u201cWe also have a lot of individual adult performers, they come here and sign autographs, take pictures,\u201d said Handy.<\/p>\n
Other vendors include people who are selling games, clothes and adult novelty gifts.<\/p>\n
One of the vendors is Tina Winnykamien, who makes and sells costumes to dancers, adult performers and cosplayers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to dance and then COVID came and then I could no longer dance,\u201d said Winnykamien. \u201cSo, I started sewing masks, then no one need a mask anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Winnykamien acknowledged that her new business isn\u2019t financially as lucrative as dancing, but she is happy the way things turned out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel better making money with something I really work hard on and knowing people are enjoying it. I like this better for me,\u201d said Winnykamien.<\/p>\n
WTOP spoke to a couple content creators who both said they enjoyed attending the event in Chantilly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s amazing, this is where you can come out, unleash your little sexy side,\u201d said Nicole Teamo.<\/p>\n
Cokia is a webcam performer who said this line of work is more than just about money.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of community in it as well. I get to meet a lot of friends and everything, it\u2019s pretty great,\u201d said Cokia.<\/p>\n
Handy pointed out the number of couples that attend his events.<\/p>\n
\u201cDude it\u2019s like the greatest date night ever.\u201d What do you compare this to? A dinner and a movie?\u201d Handy said laughing.<\/p>\n
A couple that agrees with Handy is Robert and Brenda.<\/p>\n
The two locals have been married for a year and said they wanted to come and have fun together.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if we were married 25, 35 years, we should still try new things,\u201d said Robert.<\/p>\n
