ONE OF HOUSTON'S most anticipated annual bashes, CityBook's Sexy Party, returned after a year off due to Covid — and the thrill wasn't gone!


Hosted at the new Heights House Hotel, the hip renovated motel in the Heights, and its funky in-house bar Space Cowboy, which is quickly developing a cult following, The Sexy Party celebrated the release of the magazine's annual Sexy Issue. About 200 friends of the magazine, influencers and assorted other PYTs came out to sip watermelon-mint cocktails provided by event sponsor Basil Hayden bourbon.

Per The Sexy Party's custom, a revealing fashion show produced by Todd Ramos and featuring Page Parkes models was the evening's main event. Some 18 models strutted the runway, cut through the crowd, in swimwear, underwear and seasonal loungewear from Frock Shop, Manready Mercantile, Paula Callejas, Privilege Swim and superstar Houston-based designer Chloe Dao. LG Event Entertainment and Production provided sound and light effects.

Guests also had an opportunity to support the Omega House HIV/AIDS hospice, a program of Avenue 360 Health & Wellness. A sexy staycation package including a weekend at Heights House, meals at Space Cowboy, tickets to an Alley Theatre show and travel around town compliments of Alto was offered up as a prize for a raffle. Alto also generously gave gift cards to everyone who purchased a raffle ticket.

Sexy types in the crowd included Olympic multi-gold-medalist Kerron Clement, hip-hop artist Youth Soul Love, former Houston Dynamo soccer pro Bobby Boswell, Suffers frontwoman Kam Franklin, Presidential chef and TV hunk Adrian Perez, celeb doc Vanessa Barrow and American Idol top-ten star Uché, who was spotted shooting tequila with the models after the fashion show.

Top Realtor Beth Wolff Says Her Career Took Off ‘When I Focused on Others’
How did you get where you are today? “Life is what happens while you’re making plans.” After graduating with a BBA from the University of Texas, I married, and was a stay-at-home mom. Divorcing when my children were just four and six, I became their sole supporter, and I chose real estate for the time flexibility and income potential. After four years working for another Broker, I founded my own company with one sales associate and 375 square feet. Little did I imagine this journey. Houston offers amazing opportunities for those who are willing to work hard and persevere! I have watched the city mature with the addition of all the wonderful, talented people from around the country and around the world who have made Houston their home. It was once said that Houston had a “can do, cowboy capitalism attitude.”
