Event: The Men of Raging Stallion/Zeus


STORY AND PHOTO BY VINCENT LAMBERT

The GayVN Awards in Los Angeles on March 16, 2001, brought out porn’s biggest and brightest stars, but only a couple of leather and/or kink films took home the gold. (Falcon’s Bad Behavior was named Best Leather Video, and Club Inferno/Hot House Entertainment’s Hand Over Fist won for Best Specialty Release.) Porn star Will Clark made up for this the following night at Micky’s in West Hollywood, where he hosted a tribute to the men of Raging Stallion/Zeus.

To get the festivities going, Daddy Zeus showed up with a box of his finest videos to give away and his bikini-clad boy Robert Black (1999 Zeus Boy of the Year). Big Daddy Ferguson contributed copies of Gay Chicago magazine and gave out magnets for the upcoming Grabby Awards in Chicago on Memorial Day weekend. Birthday boy (and recent Raging Stallion model) Chris Steele wore a revealing black leather vest and puffed on a stogie before receiving his birthday whacks from drag queens Sister Buffy and Sister Ida of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Steele also seemed to enjoy his other “gift”—veteran stud Zak Spears being brought onstage by Clark for a surprise smooch.

Also seen in the crowd: Corey Summers; Spike; Michael Knight; Dino Phillips; Kurt Young; Andrew Addams; director Drew Warner; Men of Odyssey honchos Bob East, Hans, and Dennis; 2001 Zeus Man of the Year Bryce Pierce; Buzz; Cameron Cruise; Anthony DeAngelo; Simon Cox; Mark Everett; Jeff Allen; and many others. The event raised $450 in raffle-ticket sales for Aid for AIDS—an L.A.-based charity benefiting porn stars—which was matched by Men of Odyssey for a total of $900. So who needs an award anyway?
