LOS ANGELES—This Friday, Nov. 15, Mistress Cyan is holding her annual charity "Slave Auction" where subs, masters, mistresses, switches, and lovers of kink put themselves on the block to help those in need.
The annual event is a food drive for the homeless and hungry. Guests can bring non-perishable food and canned goods in exchange for "auction money" to bid on volunteers who have put themselves up for auction. Sanctuary Studios coordinates with local food banks and charities to distribute the donations after the event.
Those looking to go on the block for a good cause fill out a questionnaire of their likes and dislikes, which are announced before the bidding begins. This is all for kinky fun. There is no actual sex. Everything is negotiated, and consensual, and all safewords will be respected.
"This is a Sanctuary Studios tradition for the past 27 years," explained Mistress Cyan, owner and founder of Sanctuary Studios."The thought of people being hungry over Thanksgiving is a very disturbing thought for me. I have made it my passion to make a difference in as many lives as I can. Over the years, our efforts have inspired local churches and groups to step up and donate to our cause, and the result was that more than 100,000 people have been fed because of what we're doing."
Grocery gift cards, new socks, new underwear and clean blankets will also be accepted.
"Sometimes, guests will get together and pool their funds to bid on someone they really like," noted Cyan. "The auction is an exciting way to meet new kinky friends. Guests are also welcome to simply bring a donation and stay for the party at our spacious facility with themed playrooms."
The doors for the party open at 8:00 p.m. at Sanctuary Studios, 13012 Athens Way, Los Angeles, CA 90061.
