In our world, a hustler achieves what he wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen…are you a hustler?

Hustlaball brings the world of pornstars, hustlers, hookers, pimps, streetwalkers, flesh-peddlers, and other scandalous sorts to the stage and dance floor under one roof. After the huge success of the HustlaBall party in New York last fall, presenter Rentboy.com is gearing up to make sure this year is bigger and better, with even more decadent debauchery.

On October 11th, 2009, HustlaBall's infamous underworld party will blow into New York City for its 11^th annual extravaganza. This year's theme is PORNOTOPIA: A fantasy world of polymorphous perversion, where video stars come to life onstage and throughout the club for a night where anything is possible.

The annual sex-drenched HustlaBall has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a one night party held in New York City back in 1998. Twenty-two parties later, in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Berlin and London, HustlaBall is not only one of the raunchiest events on the dance circuit, it is also one of its hottest tickets. What was originally intended as a "sex cabaret" for erotic artists and exhibitionists has morphed over the years to become a mega-party, where adult content can be presented in a large public space, for the amusement, shock and awe of international audiences. In Spring of 2009, HustlaBall London sold out its venue, Renaissance Rooms, and was proclaimed one of the best parties in the U.K. for a second smash year.

HustlaBall brings together (in addition to the usual circuit party suspects) top name musical talent and DJs, an outrageous cast of fetish acts and performers and a growing international parade of party people anxious to get in on the X-rated fun for which HustlaBall has become notorious.

The Queen of Porn, Chi Chi LaRue, will host the evening from the VIP Lounge, where she will DJ and call out directions to her army of pornstars. The main stage of the Club Rebel will feature performances by over 30 international erotic performers and porn superstars including Logan McCree, Vinnie D'Angelo, Allanah Starr, Nick Capra, Ryan Raz, Ricky Sinz, Matan Shalev and Jason Tyler. Many porn newcomers are coming to the stage by FabScout.com, the largest US porn casting agent. Stage costuming is by fetish experts Leather Man NYC and the brand Rufskin.

DJ's this year include: Leomeo of Paris, Jack Chang of London, Rich King of Snaxx, Chi Chi LaRue, Drew G and DJ DeMarko, for a total of 6 DJs on 4 dancefloors.

HustlaBall is very excited to announce a performance by cabaret star and vocal legend Joey Arias of the show Arias with a Twist and Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity. Mr. Arias, will kick off the HustlaBall stage show with a live music act accompanied by choreographed dancers.

The night will also include emcee Lady Fag and host Diesel Washington, as well as numerous downtown celebutantes, burlesque legends, and pundits on the red carpet, with live interviews by Angel Benton and Robin Byrd. Michael Dirt of the Mordern Gypsies circus troupe will return this year to wow audiences with two special spectacular fire and acrobatic acts.

At HustlaBall, you can forget the go-go boys you would normally see at a gay party. Here, you are more likely to see triple-X podium sex, with any combination of one to five guys at a time. HustlaBall brings together porn stars and top escorts from around the world, especially as a showcase for new and emerging erotic talent. Fans can show their affection on the spot and of course there is the occasional escort or porn star who shows off his talent up close and personal.

With special installations, stage shows, photo booths, and awesome sound-and-lighting, there are many elements for guests to discover and keep occupied at a HustlaBall party. The night is broken up by a series of erotic, acrobatic, and musical performances onstage and around the club to keep partygoers surprised and stimulated.

All these elements make HustlaBall a unique party, and although it is a circuit party, with DJs being a major focus, it is different from other circuit parties. Here you get a mix of DJs, dancefloors, onstage shows, acts that happen around the stage, stars mingling with fans, and smaller parties around the main event that allow more intimate, sexual display.

The crowd is more diverse than most circuit crowds, with men and women, gay and straight, older and younger, representatives from the adult video industry, pornstars, escorts, and dancers. And of course there are partygoers who love a good old-fashioned circuit party, with the sweat on the dancefloor, for whom nothing else matters but the music.

As HustlaBall travels around the globe, attracting new fans and participants, the party takes on the flavor of each host city. The irony is that although some cities are known for sexual indulgence, their zoning laws do not always make that possible at HustlaBall. Las Vegas, for instance, is known as Sin City, and prostitution is legal, but nudity is not allowed where liquor is sold--so live sex onstage in Vegas clubs is never going to happen without consequences. In New York City, where zoning laws are strict but not heavily policed, HustlaBall takes place at a the cavernous 70's disco Club Rebel, one of the few venues left in Manhattan where a no-holds-barred stage show is possible. In heavily policed or zoned cities, the raunchiest HustlaBall performances take place only at underground pre-and-post event sex clubs and bathhouses. In Berlin, on the other hand, HustlaBall is entirely free and sexually liberated - nudity is allowed (Germans walk naked at the beach), sex is totally cool on onstage at a nightclub, and even prostitution is legal.

Charity | This years HustlaBall is a charity event for Spread Magazine (www.spreadmagazine.org), a periodical advocating for the rights of sex workers and erotic performers. $5 from each regular ticket and $10 from each VIP ticket sold will benefit Spread Magazine's parent organization SWOP (Sex Workers Outreach Project).
