Although you horndogs will be reading this column in January, the buzz around Boys Town right now is all about directrix Chi Chi LaRue’s birthday bash on November 18. This year’s venue was the ever-so-trendy Hollywood Athletic Club on Sunset Boulevard. The party was complete with go-go boys, three gigantic rooms to mingle in, three bars (!) and a silent auction. For the first time ever, Ms. LaRue (together with Channel 1 Releasing) instituted a cover charge, then donated the proceeds--roughly $10,000 raised from 1,000 attendees--to Aid for AIDS.

“I had the most fun doing the show!” Ms. LaRue said a few days later. The highlight of her bash was a drag “turnabout” featuring your favorite porn studs in high heels, fishnets, towering wigs and lots of pancake makeup. “For years I’ve been wanting to poke fun at drag, and at the masculinity of porn,” she told me. LaRue won’t be putting on a drag show next year (“I got it out of my system!”), but does promise her party will be on a weekend night. This year’s event was on a Sunday evening, forcing the party’s nine-to-fivers (including yours truly) to bow out early.

In any case, the historic building overflowed with sexy boys, hot chicks (director Blue Blake brought one of the top female strippers in the U.K.) and plenty of celebs. The ones I’m allowed to mention include novelist Christopher Rice (cute, shy and very tall), MTV’s The Real World: Miami’s hunkalicious housemate Dan Renzi (nice enough, although he kept to himself and his pals) and Hollywood Squares comedian Bruce Vilanch (surrounded, as usual, by a passel of gorgeous cuties).

Once I made my way upstairs to the VIP room I ran into a trim and handsome Zak Spears, who quickly introduced me to his new boyfriend: none other than Falcon’s newest star Matthew Rush. Like most porn models, Rush is polite, quiet and very shy. The night’s funniest moment occurred when a callow youth introduced himself to Spears, exclaiming, “My dad used to jack off to you!” The look of dismay on poor Zak’s face was priceless.

Later, I chatted with Bo Garrett (I asked trouble-prone Bo where he’s been lately, and he bluntly replied “Unavailable!”), Kurt Young (beautiful as ever), director Wash West, who was celebrating the release of The Fluffer (now making the art- house circuit), and gossip columnist Billy Masters. At one point Billy disappeared into the ladies’ room and engaged in who-knows-what kind of naughtiness with models Jack Ryan and Matt Sizemore, towering drag empress Jazmine and hunky Detour writer Rob Ellsworth.

“It was the best birthday party Chi Chi has ever thrown,” Mr. Masters told me. “The drag show ran smoothly and on schedule, which is virtually unheard-of for something like this. And she didn’t hog the spotlight. The guys turned out some of the most polished drag numbers I’ve ever seen. Jackson Price and Blake Harper were both as good as anything you’d see at an actual drag show. And then disco diva Pepper MaShay showed up to sing live! It was a great night in Hollywood!”

One final bit of leftover business from 2001: I neglected to note director Paul Barresi in my recent “Year in Porn” column, and he did deserve a mention. Mr. Barresi churned out a pile of enjoyable videos for Regiment Productions, all of ’em starring Creole cutie Stonie. Among his better flicks for other studios this year, The Coach (Pacific Sun) paired sex bomb Caesar with Chris Steele and When Sparks Fly (Studio 2000) starred tight, fuckable Drew Larson alongside lanky hottie Troy Michaels. (Barresi also has a cameo in last summer’s sci-fi flick John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars.)

I recently managed to nab prolific director Drew Warner for a quick lunch, and he dropped a bombshell: “I’m performing in front of the camera for the first time with a new guy named Kyle Richards.” The video is titled Open Trench: Vol. 2, and ought to be released in May in conjunction with IML weekend. “I figured most directors start as models,” Mr. Warner said, “so I decided to go in the other direction and jump in to have some fun!” Judging from the goofy grin on his face as he told me, I’m sure he had a blast…

Faversham…
