Roma Does It With Pride!

Filed under: News on June 12, 2012 at 5:17 pm

This year San Francisco Pride hits close to home at Hot House; our very own Sister Roma has been named Community Grand Marshal! Roma’s friends and fans turned out in record-breaking numbers to vote online, electing her to lead the SF Pride Parade and appear on television, radio and at countless events as an official ambassador to Pride. Inconspicuous Art Director by day; raging drag queen, activist/fundraiser and party girl by night, Sister Roma is celebrating her 25th year with the notorious Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence. In that time she has been on the front lines in the war against HIV/AIDS, actively involved in raising $1 million for charity. Undoubtedly, Roma’s good deeds are many and well known, but let’s not get carried away, this Sister is no Saint! From Folsom Street to Bourbon Street to Halsted Street, Roma’s antics are legendary. What better way to kick off Pride than a night roasting the Grand “Marshmallow?” Join some of Roma’s closest and dearest friends including Hot House head honchos Steven Scarborough and Brent Smith, drag superstars Chi Chi LaRue, Heklina, Donna Sachet, Peaches Christ, BeBe Sweetbriar, Sasha Soprano, and SF politico Bevan Dufty – to name a few – as they share their memories (and horror stories) of Sister Roma! Join the fun on Wednesday, June 20 at the Supperclub. Proceeds benefit Tenderloin Tessie Holiday Dinners and the Sisters Stop The Violence Campaign. Get your tickets today, they’re selling fast! Your ticket to the Roma Roast also gets you admission to PornFest, the XXX-tra dirty after party hosted by Chi Chi and Heklina at Rebel. It’s going to be epic. Look for Roma leading the Parade on Sunday, June 24. For more information and a full list of Pride events visit the SF Pride Website. Follow Roma’s schedule on Facebook and Twitter. Have a happy, safe, and very gay Pride!

Southern Decadence Report: Hot & Sweaty Men New Orleans Style!

Filed under: News on September 10, 2009 at 5:42 pm

Labor Day Weekend in New Orleans features some of the most brazen, brass, beautiful and brawny gay men in the country. Every year Southern Decadence takes over the famous French Quarter, filling the streets, restaurants, hotels, shops (and probably jails) with over 100,000 gay men, making Decadence one of the most infamous annual parties in the nation. As always, the event kicks off when Porn Directrix Chi Chi LaRue (her 13th year! and Hot House Art Director Sister Roma (her 2nd year) co-host the Big Dick Contest at the Bourbon Pub Parade. The handsome (and hung) winner of this year’s contest was chosen unanimously by cheers from the cock-hungry crowd that filled the Pub and fell out into the streets. The rest of the weekend was jam packed with visits to the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, the Marriott on Canal Street, The French Quarter’s quaint little rows of ornate shops and Cajun food. Special thanks to our friends down South Jonathan, Chuck, Persana, Poodle and this year’s Grand Marshal Paloma for making this one of the best years ever!
