WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -
Apple Lounge, located in the heart of West Hollywood, has become a favorite stomping ground for celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Chris Evans and Perez Hilton.
"But wait until they get a load of the scantily clad crowd
Chi Chi LaRue and I are bringing to Apple's new Thursday night promotion," co-host
Jason Sechrest gushed.
West Hollywood nightlife heavyweights Jeffrey Sanker and Paul Nicholls have teamed to produce "Temptation" every Thursday in the Pop 'N Cock Lounge, the underground dance club component of the three-level nightspot. LaRue will bring the pop and Sechrest will bring the cock: The drag diva directrix-cum-DJ will spin tunes while adult industry gadfly Sechrest serves as the evening's master of ceremonies with the able assistance of a gay porn star.
Johnny Castle is scheduled to be the inaugural guest star on Oct. 9, followed by
Francois Sagat (courtesy of
Fabscout Entertainment) on Oct. 16, Tyler Saint on Oct. 23 and
Channel 1 exclusive Benjamin Bradley on Oct. 30.
Unlike Sechrest's several other porn promotional nights in West Hollywood, Temptation won't feature interviews or featured dances by the porn stars. Instead, the club will embody what Sechrest described as "an exclusive Playboy Men's Club vibe." He envisions the adult entertainers walking around in their underwear, mingling one-on-one with guests and performing lap dances for select VIP guests.
"It's the closest you can get to some of the biggest names in the gay adult entertainment world," he said.
"To be asked to be a part of an evening that is put together by Jeffrey Sanker and Paul Nicholls is really the ultimate for any host in the West Hollywood area," he added. "And on a personal level, to have one of my own best friends, Chi Chi LaRue, there with me throwing this massive party each week is just like the icing on the cake."
Temptation's doors open weekly at 9 p.m.
