HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Thursday, April 19 will be a big day—or, rather, night—for the adult industry. That's when top actress Lauren Phillips and APAC Vice President Riley Reyes will be co-hosting the #SpreadTheLove Party at the Couture Night Club (also known as Station 1640), at 1640 N. Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028. The party will begin at 9 p.m. and will continue until the club closes for the evening.
"This really is Lauren's brainchild," Reyes told AVN. "She reached out to me because she felt that the animosity and pain that the industry was feeling was tearing us apart and that we needed something to bring us back together and have us focus on one another again, and of course, APAC thought that was amazing and now we're doing it together."
Tickets will cost $10 for adult industry professionals and $20 for the general public. Tickets can be purchased through Couture's website, or through a link to Eventbrite that will be posted later this week on APAC's website.
"I want #SpreadTheLove to be more than a party; it's a nightlife event designed not only to raise money for charity but also to unite the adult industry," Reyes said. "The grief and tragedy we've been going through lately have created rifts in our community and it's our mission with this party to bring people back together and remind people that our greatest asset is one another."
But while that will be the aim of the party, it's nonetheless going to be a fun occasion, with live DJs, a dance floor, red carpet, and there will also be VIP seating areas and bottle service.
"It's a fun nightclub event, and it's all about unity within the industry," Reyes said. "It will also be an event where fans can meet and mingle with stars while supporting this good cause that affects us all."
"This is a very important topic and I want to do whatever I can to keep people talking about it and try to help force change," Phillips said. "After what has happened with our industry in the past few months, it’s important to keep the conversation alive and not let this fall along the wayside. We all deserve to be treated with respect and shouldn’t need to fear checking our Twitter feed in the morning because people are attacking us. It’s crazy."
All proceeds from the event will donated to endcyberbullying.org and APAC itself, to fund future projects that support industry professionals.
Those interested in sponsorship packages for the event and/or VIP tables can email Phillips at [email protected] or APAC at [email protected] for more information.
So save that date—April 19—and prepare to celebrate with the adult community an end to cyberbullying and a return to congeniality among adult professionals.
