Time Out New York plugs In The Flesh

I was so thrilled that Time Out New York plugged this week's Third Anniversary night in their Drink Up section! Where else can you hear red-hot readers, eat cupcakes, and get free condoms and sex toys?

They wrote:

Penthouse editor and TONY contributor Rachel Kramer Bussel hosts the third-anniversary party for this risqué reading series. Authors Trey Ellis and David Henry Sterry, along with comedian Margot Leitman and pornographer Jincey Lumpkin, read and perform. Toast their boldness with $5 well drinks and a spread of sweets from Kumquat Cupcakery. Babeland provides the giveaway loot. FREE Happy Ending, 302 Broome St between Eldridge and Forsyth Sts (212-334-9676). 8–10pm.

And if you want to know what Kumquat Cupcakery cupcakes look like it's this:


Chocolate mousse and peanut butter banana honey (!!) cupcakes - but we are getting sexy cupcakes, maybe boob-shaped, it's a surprise
