LOS ANGELES — Sanctuary LAX will host its charity “Slave Auction” party on Saturday to raise money for the homeless during the Sanctuary Marketplace event.
Organized by Master Gabriel and House of RayvnBlood, the annual event features one of a kind, handmade products by local craft people and artisans in the BDSM community. Goods range from bondage gear and leather clothing to handmade paddles, artwork and novelties.
Vendors at Sanctuary Marketplace this year include, Orchid and Serpent, Laced Up Corsets, Ghoul Vibrations, Geeky and Kinky pins, Anticipation USA, American Ruin, Mistress Evil, Aron the Canemaker, Naughty’s Proper Paddles, Kim Air’s Grand Opening and more. In addition, there will be live, on-stage BDSM performances.
Mistress Cyan’s “Slave Auction” charity food drive and fundraiser will start at 8 p.m. Submissives volunteer to put themselves up for auction, while “buyers” exchange non-perishable food and canned goods for “auction money.” Bidding starts at 9:30 p.m. and the winning bidders keep the “slave” for the duration of the party. According to a rep, everything is negotiated, consensual and all safewords will be respected.
“This is a great event for a really great cause,” Mistress Cyan said. “I hope you will all consider either attending or participating. Last year, we collected over 2,000 cans of food and more than 200 pounds of dry goods, as well as cash and gift cards to distribute for Thanksgiving. Let's try and surpass that this year! The beneficiaries of the food and blankets are the Metropolitan Community Church in North Hollywood. The food and blankets are then distributed to food banks and the needy all over Southern California.”
The event will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission for Sanctuary Marketplace is $10, free to veterans and active duty personnel with Military I.D. For more details, visit SanctuaryMarketplace.com. Sanctuary LAX is located at 10914 S. La Cienega Blvd.
