Dear Diane, Dear Shaded Viewers,
Sexy Beast is a gala evening of art auction, revelry and performance, with all proceeds to benefit Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. Sexy Beast celebrates the art world's power to effect positive change, touch peoples' lives, and create value far beyond commercial gain. It also celebrates the different ways we express our humanity. What is sexy is as broad-ranging as what is art–and like art, takes an infinite number of forms–affirming, provoking and reflecting the world around us. Sexy isn't defined by conventional beauty but by an esprit, a way of feeling and showing up in the world. We are all sexy beasts … especially when we use our powers for good.
Enjoy,
Jessica Trent
