For those of you who didn't make it to Tom's Bar at the El Rey on May 7 (shame on you), the pictures show you a little bit of what you missed! Peter Snerling – who flew in from London to perform his “CHP” strip specially for the occasion was only one of the many hot guests who came out to party and support the Foundation on that Sunday afternoon.
More than 400 guests mingled during the afternoon, playing a variety of carnival-style games: “The Human Dartboard”, “Dildo Ring Toss”, and perhaps the most popular, “Stick the Rubber on the Porn Star!”. A number of adult film stars manned that booth, including Mason Flynt, Steve Hurley, York Powers, Joshua Scott, and Steve Scott.
Clint Cooper got the afternoon off to a rousing (ahem) start by doing a torrid striptease, which was followed by a fashion show put on by “665”. After a performance piece by Jeff Toelsin and Sean Reilly, the gay rock band Slojack came on and blew everyone away.
After announcing the winners of the silent auction items (which raised more than $1,400.00 for the Foundation), Board member and former International Mr. Leather Tony Mills was himself auctioned! Actually, it was dinner with Tony that was up for grabs, and the “Master Auction” brought in $250 to the Foundation.
All in all, it was a great day for seeing old friends and making new ones. We at the Foundation would like to thank all those who participated in helping us further our goals. Watch for developments and expansion as the monies raised are put into action. |

“In those days, a gay man was made to feel nothing but shame about his feelings and his sexuality. I wanted my drawings to counteract that, to show gay men being happy and positive about who they were. Oh, I didn’t sit down to think this all out carefully. But I knew — right from the start — that my men were going to be proud and happy men!" — Tom of Finland |
