NO on Government Waste – NO on Measure B Campaign Fundraiser Adds FSC Promo for Adult Performers

A gala fundraiser will be held on, Monday, Oct 8, to benefit the NO on Government Waste – NO on Measure B Campaign. The event offers a night of Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s Bar & Grill, located on the corner of Santa Monica Blvd. and Sweetzer Ave., in West Hollywood, CA.

Adult star Amber Lynn and rocker/comedian/sex toy expert Phil Varone are scheduled to appear at the fundraiser. Legendary Bingo will feature popular hostess Roxy. Legendary adult director John Stagliano also will be in attendance, along with representatives from Evil Angel Video, Vivid Entertainment, Adam & Eve, Topco Sales, and many more.

As an added benefit for adult performers that attend the fundraiser, the $20 door charge will include 10 bingo cards, as well as a complimentary yearlong membership to Free Speech Coalition, for those performers that wish to join. The industry professional membership is valued at $50 and is good for one year. Portions of the evening’s proceeds will go to benefit the No On Government Waste – No on Measure B Campaign.

“I have been a FSC board member more than a decade now,” said event organizer Mara Epstein. “Performers have always been an important part of FSC – and now that we are fighting for performers’ right to choose whether or not they use condoms on-set – we want to allow performers this one-time opportunity to become members and join FSC. By participating in the industry trade association, performers have a voice on issues like testing.

“FSC has fought many battles on the behalf of the industry, going back to when most current performers were still babies,” Epstein added. “The time has come again, for all industry members to work together and keep the California industry from being attacked by our opposition.”

Naughty gift baskets will be filled to the brim with videos and sex toys for the live auction, and some great items also will be raffled. Gift baskets and prizes have been provided by Adam & Eve, Topco Sales, Vivid Entertainment, Penthouse, Hustler, Evil Angel Video, Monarchy Films, Severe Society, Dirty Hot Products, Eldorado Trading Co., La Jolie Salon of Beverly Hills, Jeffrey Lehman of KB Collection, Edwards Lowell of Beverly Hills, Diane Duke, Kim Ayers, David Bertolino and Maia Toys, among others.

The NO on Government Waste – NO on Measure B fundraiser begins at 8pm. Hamburger Mary’s is located at 8228 Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA. A $20 donation will be charged for admittance, with some proceeds to benefit the No On Government Waste – No On Measure B campaign.
