The legendary Playboy Mansion, known for it’s lavish and sexy parties hosted the aptly titled “2008 Hot Summer Nights”. When you bring together celeb power, exotic luxury sports cars, sexy Playboy vixens, fashion and music it makes for one sizzling, sultry August night to benefit the United Breast Cancer Foundation.
Hosted by the HI-Line Group and produced by The Prive Group, the event premiered the 1st Annual "Concorso Exotica at The Playboy Mansion" car show, featuring cars from various manufacturers. Millions of dollars of exquisite exotic sports cars were displayed on the front lawn. Body painted models were a highlight of the event, wearing nothing but smiles and paintings of exotic car sponsor logos and designs on their bodies. Car show sponsors were also showcased on a media wall where press coverage and pictures were conducted.
If the stunning body painted models weren’t enough, guests were treated to a fashion show by various swimwear designers including Copa Swimwear. The event also included a 4-course gourmet buffet with a premium open bar, while the guests toured the Playboy Mansion grounds visiting the infamously naughty grotto and Playboy Game Room. LA’s hottest DJ’s including Casey Connor kept the guests grooving to mixes of the latest jams all night. And just when the guests thought it couldn’t get any better, it did.
Joe Manganiello made time to come support the cause before he left for the East Coast to shoot his second season of The New CW’s “One Tree Hill” with his buddy Geoff Reeves, who is currently filming Transformers 2. Then Jason Rosell of VH1’s “I Love New York” and “I Love Money” joined models, go-go dancers, and Playmates in a live auction for charity.
Rosell was able to raise $2,700.00 by auctioning off a date with him, with the winning bid going to a philanthropic and lovely millionaire-ess. Metal Senaz came through with her ever-sexy promotion of metal. The star-studded guest list also included Molly Madison, Traci Bingham, Devin Hamin, Andrew Katos, Brandon Molale, Dr. Gary Motykie, Eleni Tzimas, Nicole Malgarini, Dr. Robert Rey, Jason Rosell, Jay Barbieri, Geoff Reeves, Lukas Rossi, McKay Stewart, Joe Manganielo, Raquel Beezley, Rib Hillis, and Brett Baxter Clark among many, many others
