There are people in our lives whom we think of often with great respect, admiration and love. We call them our friend, our lover, our partner, our husband or wife, our sister or brother, neighbor or acquaintance. But then, if you are lucky, you may know someone whom you can not define. They, in themselves, are the definition without a word or term.

For the the fifth monthly Salon I host at my studio, or in this case six flights up on my rooftop garden, I invited that very person in my life to share a bit of energy, light and song for us all to experience. Justin Bond showered us with a performance that only he could and a friendly reminder of what it means to be a New Yorker.

With love and thanks to Justin Bond and Nath Ann Carrera for a warm August night under the stars which I will never forget. - Matthu Placek

Last week we proudly threw some co-hosting support behind BLVCK AMERICA’S ‘BLVCK IS THE NEW BLACK’ Chinatown loft party, and set up our new, one-night-only venture, the EVB PRECIOUS MOMENTS PORTRAIT STUDIO in a little room off the dancefloor, with photographer David Kimelman as our man behind the lens. It was Fashion Week here in New York, so of course we supplied a few capital H capital F high fashions from our dress-up box (is that a Renée Couture original? Yes, it is, thanks for asking!), Chinatown and winter appropriate, of course. We put away the camera around 2AM, so what happened after that is anyone’s guess, but here are our favorites, snapped before things got out of hand.

Admittedly, none of the EVB staff could actually drag our sorry asses into EVB HQ today to post the photos from our party last night, but luckily David Kimelman actually had it together enough to send us a gazillion shots from the “Exhibitionist’s Delight” performance platform he set up to cleverly lure our super hot, hornier-than-usual go-go boys and partygoers into showing what they’ve got. Here are a few of our favorites.

Our go-gos were dressed by SV2S, but by the time they made their way from the top of the bar in the back, to the platform in the front, most of their clothes had somehow fallen off. Quelle surprise. Anyway, enjoy these shots and stay tuned for pics from the rest of the party and from Clifton’s amazing performance - god I hope someone has a video of that…

And finally, the last set of EVB party pics. These, from our Boy of the Week casting couch, set up in the back room, shot by David Kimelman. Names, blowjobs, handjobs and cockshots hard and soft have been removed to protect the not-so-innocent, but you get the idea. See you next time boys…
