Hot House set designer Christian Owen wears many hats. From pornstar to club promoter to rocking DJ, Christian never stops! If you’re in WEHO on Wednesday, December 23 you can catch him hosting his annual Childrens Shoe Drive. He will also be spinning for this amazing event. Here is what Christian has to say about his shoe drive:

“When I was a child I was excited when I got a new pair of shoes at Christmas.  For this reason, I started an annual shoe drive to provide shoes for children in need to help make their Christmas special.  This has been a very hard year for many people, but it is time to open our hearts to those in need by donating a new pair of children’s shoes (or a gift certificate) that will be given to children in Hollywood.  Please bring the shoes to Hot Rod at  Micky’s on Wednesday, December 23rd. Your help in this effort is greatly appreciated by me, but will be even more appreciated by the children who receive your generous donation.  Thanks for your help, Christian”

Bring new shoes for baby – 12 year old kids that will be donated to needy families in Hollywood.

The adult industry knows how to mix business with pleasure. Case in point: InterNEXT, the leading web conference and party presented by AVN Online. This annual event brings together adult webmasters, studio heads, affiliate managers, bloggers, and of course adult stars for a wild long weekend of in-depth seminars, workshops, panel discussions, and networking during the day followed by evenings filled with open-bar mixers, cock-tail parties and debaucherous special events like rock-n-roll strip tease triva and porn poker!

This weekend (from Thursday, August 6 – Sunday, August 9) webmasters and affiliates should make an effort to meet Hot House President Steven Scarborough and Affiliate Manager Alan Breslaw who will be mingling with other gay adult industry movers and shakers!
