Original erotic art by Kiki.
At a very young age, she demonstrated talent beyond her years,
dedicated to fine details in each piece she creates. Working in
a number of mediums, her passion brings her back to airbrushing
with a touch of fantasy.

Born and schooled in Japan, Minoru's
unique style shows in all his work -- from his erotic pieces to
his non-erotic fine art. For more than six years, rarely has a
day gone by that he has not worked on his drawings.
An active Foundation member, he shows his works at Tom's Bar and
the NY and LA Erotic Art Weekends.

Dragan’s
male nude photographs present non-objectified imagery depicting
all men, but particularly men of African origin. The power of
nudity, scenes of man and nature, or symbols depicting social
bigotry, keep the man in focus.

Our Thanks To The Folks Who Helped At The
Man-To-Man Combat
Benefit
Photo: JayPG (Click it to

We want to thank everyone for making this evening a hit!
Our entertainers Terry and his boxers from Boxing on the
Boulevard, and gut-punching WrestleMuscleMike
(ID #10661) and Charlie Davidson
(ID #8676).
There was the wonderful presence of artist Patrick Lee with his photos and drawings which capture the strength and passion of men.
Our sponsors for the evening who donated great raffle items were TomsMen.com,
Syren, Patrick Lee, and Boxing on the Boulevard.
The Foundation's own crew of volunteers deserves a round -- namely Richard Weineke and Mark Jones who built the boxing ring and speed ball station (with an able assist by Sharp and Durk).
Dan Berkowitz, Mike Goldie, Dan Babcock, Roger Warnix, Michael Loranger, Greg Beatrice, Mike Pesina, Jay Jorgensen, Jay Lawton, Robert V and John Bernard get special thanks for all their help.
The heavy duty action of Miss international Boot Black Slave Boi Eddie and, of course, Shawn of the
Faultline for his encouragement and
the offering of his establishment.
Kudos to Tom Walker the DJ and VJ for the evening.
Always great sounds.
The next BIG Party at the Faultline is TOM'S BAR on May, 9th.
Get ready to rumble!
