Gloss Magazine hosted about 200 guests at San Francisco’s Home Restaurant for their annual Holiday Party. The magazine’s celebrity columnists mingled with advertisers and supporters, munched on delicious appetizers and enjoyed libations from the bar hosted by Svedka Vodka. Hot House Exclusive Dillon Crow and Hot House discovery Dominic Sol were speedo-clad Santas, handing out luxury gift bags to party attendees. Congratulations to publisher Bevin Shamel on receiving a special proclamation signed by Supervisor Bevan Dufty!

Ticket sales to this year’s Real Bad XIX, a nine-hour long leather dance and celebration, exceeded all expectations, allowing Grassroots Gay Rights West (GRGR/West) to award the beneficiaries $150,000! Thanks to volunteers and event sponsors like Hot House, the Lavender Youth Recreation and Information Center (LYRIC) and the STOP AIDS Project each received $75,000 to continue their important work in our community.

Among the proud event volunteers and producers is GRGR/West Marketing Chair and Hot House Operations Manager Leif Wauters (back row, 4th from left)
