Soap Hunk Van Hansis to Host Annual Ugly Holiday Sweater Party and Big Gay Toy Drive

Four time Emmy-nominated actor Van Hansis will be on hand to host the Big Gay Toy Drive and Ugly Holiday Sweater Party in New York. The annual event, thrown by The Men Event, will take place at the Townhouse Bar (236 East 58 Street, between 2nd and 3rd Avenues) on Thursday, December 8 starting at 6:00 p.m..

In celebration of the on-demand and DVD release of the Gay Noir film "Kiss Me Kill Me," TV and film star Van Hansis, will be donning his gay apparel at The Men Event's annual holiday questionable fashion fest.

"Whether your sweater has reindeer, menorahs, snowflakes, Santas, Hanukkah Harry, yule logs, pine trees or bears, you know you have an ugly holiday sweater in your closet," said The Men Event's Hugh Hysell. "Bring it out, don it like it was the gayest apparel. A prize will be awarded to the most hideous holiday wear.

Coupled with the Ugly Holiday Sweater Party is The Men Event's annual Big Gay Toy Drive. The first 25 guys to show up with an unwrapped toy (benefiting the Kingsbridge Heights Community Center in the Bronx), will get a free cocktail.
