Intern Lindsay Silberman has been partying for a better tomorrow:Last week 400 partygoers packed the Duvet nightclub in Manhattan’s Flatiron District for the fourth annual benefit to support the AIDS Service Center New York, and participants felt they could cut the tension with a knife—the sexual tension, that is. Special guests at the event, themed Safer Sex in the City, included Playboy Playmate Lindsey Vuolo, Project Runway’s Kevin Christiana, Vivid Girl and porn star Savanna Samson, and sex columnist JamYe WaXman. Guests, especially the Playboy staffers who represented The Playboy Foundation (a co-sponsor of the event) particularly enjoyed the bedroom-like setup that Duvet offered – the main party room is surrounded by 30 larger-than-life beds (and Italian imported goose-down pillows, at that).
On the dance floor, DJ Vic Latino kept the energy high, while event-goers sipped on custom cocktails made with VitaminEnergy. Safe sex was on everyone’s mind as hosts passed out free condom lollipops and plastered HIV awareness tattoos on unassuming guests.
Sharon Duke, CEO of the AIDS Service Center New York, summed up the night best: “Our goal for this event, Safer Sex in the City, is to promote safer sex in the age of AIDS. And we’re just so excited to partner with The Playboy Foundation in our efforts. People are going to have sex, and sex is one way that HIV is transmitted, so it's all about HIV testing and using condoms -- safe play is sexy!”
