Naughty Vendors 2025 (Part 2)
Naughty N’awlins was terrific this year for many reasons, but this year’s vendors really stepped it up and created a very Naughty exhibit hall in two different hotels (Astor & Nopsi Hotels). On this blog, we will highlight the vendors that attended the Astor Hotel event. We had some great artists at Naughty this year, showcasing some very sexy art. I hope we will continue to find great local (and non-local) artists whose artwork fits in so perfectly with our attendees. Feel free to reach out to the different vendors throughout the year to find things you won’t find back home at your local Walmart.
List of Vendors at the Astor Hotel:
Shameless Care, a telemedicine company focused on sexual health, was founded by Robert Johnson after a personal experience with an incomplete STI test. The experience highlighted the need for more comprehensive and honest sexual healthcare services. Shameless Care offers testing for 14 STIs, including throat and anal swabs for gonorrhea and chlamydia, which are often missed in standard tests. The company also provides treatments like DoxyPEP, ED medications, and female Viagra, all without subscriptions, emphasizing transparent pricing and judgment-free care. This is one of the most complete tests on the market and can all be done from your home!

STD Hero - We make it possible for you to take control of your health and well-being. STD Hero and Better Life Science is a CLIA-certified laboratory that was founded by a team of experienced scientists, medical professionals, and entrepreneurs who shared a common goal: to make health testing services more accessible, affordable, and convenient for everyone.
We recognized that traditional healthcare models can be expensive and time-consuming, and many people face barriers to accessing testing services.
That’s why we developed a direct-to-consumer model that eliminates the need for doctors’ referrals and makes testing easy and convenient for everyone.
Dirty Unicorn: How we became Dirty... Dirty Unicorn was founded in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic when Baz, the Dirtiest of Unicorns, found his travel agency suddenly… not going anywhere… In a desire to express himself in a new manner (and suddenly WAY too much time on his hands), he began soaping. In a short time, he found that not only was the process both soothing and satisfying, but his concoctions and experimentations brought joy to the people around him.
A short while later, after a chance meeting, he joined MADE Mercantile in beautiful downtown Woodstock, GA, where his products quickly became a community staple. After gaining momentum, his Husbicorn, Stoney, soon joined him, and the two of them have been making all the things that make life wonderful since. Most recently, Baz has had the honor of being dubbed "one of the nation's finest Makers" by becoming a featured competitor on the Meet Your Makers Showdown, hosted by Crissy Metz, LeAnne Rimes, and Mark Mantano, streaming exclusively on discovery+. Unfortunately, Baz is also a bit risqué and entirely too fond of puns, and thus our unique lifestyle brand was given shape. With each of our lines having a unique design ethos, we are certain you’ll soon become a Dirty Unicorn too!
Dark Gardens Corsetry: Every bespoke corset we make follows a rigorous prototyping process before we move into your selected final material. All production takes place on-site in our San Francisco flagship boutique. This process takes about three months, and it's worth every minute. First, we take a comprehensive set of your measurements, to which we apply a proprietary formula to draft your unique custom pattern.
Next, you’ll try on a series of mockups during the fitting phase — typically two for an underbust and three for an overbust, but there is no maximum number of fittings; only minimums apply. We'll do as many as are necessary to achieve the perfect fit!
An expert from our production team will cut your fabric with meticulous attention to accuracy throughout. An equally fastidious stitcher will then construct your corset, from sewing to pressing to trimming. Every corset that passes through our workshop is crafted with the highest quality materials. We use the finest fabrics and hardware, including superior thread, resilient German steel busk closures, and the finest cottons, silks, and leathers. And then, we get your corset to you!
Wonderland Gallery - Often described as “the man in five places at once” and “one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” Art87jr, also known as Jason Manuel Rodriguez, has been a professional artist in New Orleans for the last eleven years. Bronx-born and Miami-raised, Jason is known worldwide for his “Creative Identity” series, primarily portrayed through paintings of the human figure dissolving into bursts of color. His style is described as a fusion of abstract expressionism and realism.
Jason has designed and executed several mural projects across the United States. His most current work was commissioned by a global nonprofit, the International Foundation of Arts and Culture.
This art installation, featuring a playable painted piano, was created to become part of the permanent collection at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans. Additionally, his work has been shown in Times Square, Art Basel, and ArtPrize. Jason also exhibits his work across the country at some of the top arts festivals, such as Neptune Festival in Virginia Beach, Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, and Ann Arbor in Michigan.
He sells his artwork globally and is currently represented by Red FishBowl Gallery in Pittsburgh and Miette in New Orleans.
Bfelix Art. Currently, you can view Brandon's art in person on Jackson Square, located in the French Quarter, the heart of NOLA.
He was born and raised uptown in the 3rd Ward of New Orleans. He likes to make art that speaks to himself as a person and art that reflects his city.
He's self-taught and has been drawing his entire life. The mediums he likes to use are pencil (his first love), color pencil, charcoal, and acrylic paint.
Sincerely Fearless is the brainchild of two sisters who grew weary of leaving stores empty-handed in the pursuit of distinct, bold pieces. We started this brand in 2011 to honor our late mother and her love of all things fashion. We wanted to create a platform of eclectic and bold statement pieces to make the unseen feel seen.
Sincerely Fearless is a curated collection of creative novelty jewelry and interactive accessories. We refer to ourselves as the home of the “Big Ole Earrings” and literal statement pieces. Sincerely Fearless takes unorthodox objects, animals, or anything else you can think of and turns them into fashion statements.
We have styles ranging from cultural to elegant to quirky to playful. Sincerely Fearless was created for the unconventional fashionistas and risk-takers who have no fear of being the topic of conversation due to their innovative taste in accessories & one-of-a-kind look.
Those who dare to be different by making their style choices reflect their life's purpose of being FEARLESS. Those who exude the confidence & courage it takes to defy society's standard of beauty by embracing their own.
Happy Kitten started as a rope company in 2011, and soon, education was added to the portfolio. The education was mainly focused on rope in the beginning, but soon photography was added to the mix, and some small parties were organised.
The last two years, the push for more pleasure was getting pretty hard, and we started doing monthly events and weekly classes. With the strong reception we received, it was obvious that we had to expand, and we launched our first big party in January 2020.
It now hosts the Portal in New Orleans, offering overnight stays, intro to BDSM classes, consultations, and pool parties at Prive.
