The Western Wind Foundation and The Crochet Empire present, the 5th annual charity jockstrap showcase, Masquerade! This year's host and auctioneer is drag legend Lady Bunny who is going to bring her glitz, Heaven high wigs, and epic lashes to the stage to raise money for TPAN and Chicago House, two leading Chicago HIV charities. TPAN and Chicago House help thousands of people living in Chicago each year with finding medication, counseling, housing employment, and more. Masquerade will again feature several of Chicago's hottest men wearing brand new Crochet Empire jockstraps, burlesque performances, raffle prizes and the perennial highlight, the live jockstrap auction. This year will also feature a runway of masks made and donated by prominent artists and celebrities such as Representative Brian Sims, CellBlock 13 founder Timoteo Ocampo, illustrator Juan Castano, Spanish crochet designer Josep Mestres, Hamilton costume director Eva Maciek, famed author Rocky Flintstone of the My Dad Wrote a Porno podcast and Drag Race Miss Congeniality Nina West. Can't attend but still want to be part of the action? Don't worry! All masks will be silent auctioned online for 24 hours leading into the event.
