Please join me for my biggest event of the year, the first annual Palm Springs Stud Auction!

I've recruited eight of the most handsome, desirable men in the Desert and asked each to host an unforgettable meal at one of Palm Springs’ finest restaurants. The chance to dine with each stud will go to the highest bidder, plus as a reward for your generosity you'll also receive a bonus prize package for your own personal use. Each package includes a collection of incredible items like travel getaways, salon treatments, passes to local attractions, fun gifts, and more!

Visit the Studs' profile pages to learn more about them, view their photo galleries and get the details about the dinner and prize package that you’ll receive if you’re their winning bidder. I’m sure you’ll agree that they’re an exceptional group of men!

The entire evening is a benefit for one of my favorite charities: Desert AIDS Project’s Dental Clinic. This new, non-profit facility helps to restore smiles and prevent a major source of opportunistic infections for low income people living with HIV/AIDS. Please help me support its wonderful work. To learn more about it, check out the Beneficiary page.   

There are so many ways that you can help make this an awesome night. First, please attend (and bring your cash, checkbook or credit cards and make bids!) Second, invite your friends to join you. I’ve set up a Facebook event page where you can see who’s already attending and easily ask others to join you. And if you can’t attend—or just want to get in early on the fun—we’ll open online advance credit card bidding starting March 24. Just visit your favorite Stud's page to make your bid. Who knows? You may win him before the event even starts!

I can’t close without thanking the great sponsors who are helping to make this year's Stud Auction happen: the Tool Shed, Pulp and The BottomLine magazines, Contour Dermatology, Daddy Zeus Events, and the BigMuscle family of web sites—BigMuscle.com, BigMuscleLeather.com and BigMuscleBears.com. You can get more information about these sponsors and learn all about the fantastic gifts that our donors have contributed to our Studs’ bonus prize packages on the Sponsors & Prizes page.  

Please join me from 8-11 pm on Saturday, April 3 at the Tool Shed for Palm Spring’s first annual Stud Auction. I promise you’ll have a hot, beefy, fun and super-sexy time!
