We have a bevy of exciting guests lined up that you can check out on our Eros Day 2006 page, including the amazing Annie Body, star of Dr. Suzy’s Squirt Salon, who will reign over us mere mortals as Venus, Greco-Roman Goddess of Love, Sex and Beauty, as well as Mother (and sometime Lover) of Eros.

We don’t have an Eros yet. In fact, I’ve decided to use my Bloggamy as a casting call. So, here goes: Do YOU want to play Eros on Eros Day?

Yes, YOU could be Eros, God of Sex, Love and Life Itself, on Eros Day at the Speakeasy. There are just a few requirements:

Requirement #1: You must be male, over 18, and in good health.

Requirement #2: You must be sexy. How do you know if you’re sexy? Well, if you think you’re sexy, that’s a start.

Requirement #3: You must be fairly uninhibited. To be more specific, you must be willing to be naked throughout most of the night, except for a pair of wings. We will provide the wings. As Eros, you may also get opportunities to have sex on Eros Day(!), maybe lots of sex. Most former Eroses have. But, of course, we can’t and won’t guarantee that. You should just be prepared to go with the flow.

Requirement #4: You should be in good shape. No, you don’t have to be Adonis; you have to be Eros! Remember: Nude most of the night. And it’s a fairly long night.

Requirement #5: You should be mentally stable. We don’t want no drama! No sickos, no big babies, no last-minute freak-outs or cancellations, no sociopathic tendencies, no incapacitating insecurities, no nonsense, PLEASE.

Requirement #6: You should be here in the LA area, and ready for action Saturday night, January 21st, 2006.

This is a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a sexy guy who doesn’t mind being nekked and fawned over by the incredible Annie Body and other hot gorgeous women in an orgiastic, classical-tribal, anti-Bush party atmosphere with an Open Bar (though please, no alkies), great food, good vibes, masterpiece art and excellent music. If you’re looking to get into the erotic world, this could be your breakout role. If you have another career, like say, schoolteacher, priest or budding politician, you can wear a mask and no one has to know that it’s you.

Eros Day is a benefit for the highly endangered “Make Love, Not War” bonobos. We do not pay Eros, any of our other Eros Day performers or staff; these are all volunteer positions. But we do give you lots of publicity, a chance to shine, and a super great time.

So, go for it! Just send a photo or two and a little bit about yourself and why you think you’d make a great Eros to eros@blockbooks.com. Please, no joke entries (though I know we’ll get them). Your photo(s) can be with or without clothing, but please, no “dic pics.”

The deadline for entries is January 10, but the sooner you send in your entry, the better, so send it now!

Runners-up get the opportunity to play other fun roles like Pan, Thanatos, Jupiter, Hermes, Dionysus and Mars. Speaking of which, though Annie Body will be Venus and Kim always plays Psyche, we are also looking for ladies to play other female roles on Eros Day, such as Gaia, Persephone, Diana, Athena, Pleasure and the Aphrodisiac Nymph. If you’re interested, contact eros@blockbooks.com.

Any questions, please call 213.749.1330 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 213.749.1330 end_of_the_skype_highlighting and ask for Kim, Margo or Julie. This is only for important questions. Do NOT play any kind of phone games with my girls, or you will be summarily disqualified.

I am so looking forward to hearing from all you sexy people.
