These types of parties aren't really any different than candle or tupperware parties. They have a bunch of items sitting on a table, a person holds a couple of them up and tells you why you should buy them, if you're lucky they do some corny quiz where the winner and loser gets something free (if you're really lucky like me, you're normally the loser and get free stuff), and then the demonstrator hands out the catelogues and waits for you to buy stuff. The only real difference is that the buying part is normally done out in the open, but at Fantasia parties, they're done in some other room so no one has to worry about their friends hearing about what they bought (but it's also been my experience that people get so drunk at these parties, that they tell all their friends what they bought and why they bought it).
So really, it's not all that exciting, but good for some laughs! And you don't have to worry about your friends knowing what you bought because you could say you're only going to buy massage oils, but then turn around and buy something totally crazy and kinky and your friends wouldn't know unless you tell them.
At least that's been my experience with it...
