Chi Chi LaRue Introduces Dean Monroe to WeHo

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—GAYVN Hall of Fame director and riotous drag diva Chi Chi LaRue has enticed British sensation Dean Monroe to leave his home in the U.K. and spend part of August in Los Angeles shooting movies and making personal appearances.

On Aug. 11, Monroe will headline LaRue’s monthly Wednesday night DJ-ing gig at Here Lounge. The show runs from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., and Monroe is expected to perform in the infamous “Midnight Strip Down,” along with a bevy of go-go boys. LaRue and co-host Jason Sechrest plan to give away DVDs bearing Monroe movies courtesy of Chi Chi LaRue’s, the trendy gay adult boutique located on Santa Monica Boulevard around the corner from the club.

On Aug. 12, LaRue is scheduled to co-host “Cocktails with the Stars” from 6-9 p.m. at Micky’s Bar on Santa Monica Boulevard, and Monroe will tag along for an on-stage interview. He’ll also greet fans, sign autographs and give away more DVDs.

Not one to waste time on transatlantic hops, Monroe has been shooting new scenes for LaRue’s studio, Channel 1 Releasing. LaRue said the scenes will debut soon at C1R.com. LaRue expects the scenes to be popular, because Monroe’s previous appearance for C1R, as the butt of a gangbang in Black Balled 5, helped make the title one of the most popular in the studio’s catalogue.

LaRue’s next personal appearance venue will debut Aug. 21 when an all-new event, “Pornorazzi,” bows at Fubar in West Hollywood.
