Yesterday’s Basil Hayden Tastemasters Event, that we announced to readers last week, was an excellent middle-of-the-week soiree and well attended too.
The event featured the newest Editor of Out Magazine Aaron Hicklin. Last night guests were treated to a selection of complimentary Basil Hayden Bourbon cocktails throughout the event. Aaron Hicklin was the one responsible for a controversial cover of OUT Magazine in which two models held up masks of Anderson Cooper and Jodie Foster above the words “The Glass Closet.”

present a special door prize to one lucky guest.
Out Magazine is one of the leading gay lifestyle magazines and it seems very apparent to me that Out.com is investing a lot of resources into establishing itself as the source for gay lifestyle information in addition to their normal glossy photos of eye candy, trying to keep step with Genre, Details and Instinct Magazines.
Aaron Hicklin announced at the event that they were making a $1,000 contribution to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Those who attended the two hour event were given a gift bag of goodies at the end which included a pair of Basil Hayden salt and pepper shakers.
