Talk about the cool kids’ table: Worldly Belladonna, frank Kimberly Kane, gamboling Faye Reagan and Georgia Jones, dangerous Joanna Angel, ubiquitous Sasha Grey, and you. Yes, if you win their company at Saturday’s “Winter Wonderland” event benefiting AIM, you.
AIM is Adult Industry Medical, the porn industry’s embattled and cash-strapped one-stop for mandatory STD testing. How does the clinic that holds the monopoly on STD testing for the porn industry find itself needing a benefit? Well, it might have something to do with legal bills arising from increasing challenges by L.A. County and City health agencies demanding the porn biz change its condom and testing policies.
Whatever the cause for the low funds is, Kimberly Kane and Belladonna are addressing – in spectacular fashion – the real fear that, should AIM go away, the porn industry will lose its friendly clinic where everyone is respectfully referred to by one’s porn name and where one is shielded from the indignity of explaining what ATOGM is in front of a room of screaming babies.
The benefit at L.A.’s awesome Busby’s East (formerly the Conga Room) features the aforementioned date to end all dates raffle as well as appearances by several Wicked Girls (including a jessica drake gift basket sadly not containing jessica drake), Courtney Cummz, Nicki Hunter, Nina Hartley, and probably everyone else.
Not only that, but celebrity MC duties will be handled by Brody Stevens, Chris Nieratko, Ari Shaffir, and Steve Agee. And, almost as exciting as the thought of a 14-foot game of Footsie under your dream date table, my band, Fogelfoot, will also be there. But we will not date you. (There is also a band called The Makers, and I am assured they are nice young men.)
Organizer Kane tells us that all proceeds of the evening (which features two full bars) will be going to AIM. So, if you want Beladonna’s ass to continue to be haunted by friendly ghosts, we’ll see you on Saturday.
