Laissez les bons temps rouler!…and roll they certainly do as Grand Marshall Dr. Susan Block presents Tigerblood Mardi Gras, celebrating the wild party animal in all of us…sauntering across her stage with te tigress’ sultry elegance in regal purple hat, a matching tiger print sarong and purple panties personally signed on the butt crack by Heidi Fleiss. Tossing beads to the topless, she transforms the Institute’s Womb Room into a French Quarter carnival with a winning cast of Commedia Erotica characters, porn stars and erotica aesthetes, climaxing with a wild girl-girl-girl-girl pile-up in the show bed.

The ritual is the match, the orgy the flame.  Within just a couple hours of opening up the Institute’s brand new Womb Room, our 12th annual Eros Day had ignited into a stellar display of sensual, naked and winged bodies and souls soaring, flailing and thrusting into one another on and around the Olympic-sized bed surrounded by burning cock candles, buzzing pocket rockets, pulsing bongo beats, majestic erotic art and anatomically correct blow-up angels flying through the rafters above. It was a Commedia Erotica Heaven on Earth worthy of a Botticelli or Bronzino, or at least a Fellini movie, and one of our best Eros Day orgies ever, with some very tasty hors d’oeuvres.
