Valentine’s day morning, as I was getting ready for the opening reception for the Sweetheart’s Dance, we got a phone call from Rick Castro, owner of the Antebellum fetish art gallery.
He was attacked while waiting for a subway in Hollywood, and while defending himself took a fall on his bad leg. It was the first time Antebellum has had an opening reception without Rick.
He’s had difficulty standing on his right leg, and only today has he been able to make it to the gallery. This impacts not only the ability to run the gallery, but his photography business which is what keeps the doors opening and a roof over his head.

This Saturday, February 27th, the Tom of Finland Foundation will have a fundraiser for Rick Castro as part of their Tom’s Garage event at the Faultline bar.
It’s going to be a little tricky for me, because Mistress Cyan’s Indulgence is the same night over at Sanctuary LAX. I’m seriously planning to do both events.
If you can make it to Tom’s Garage this Saturday, great. If not, and you’d still like to help. Contact Rick at antebellum@earthlink.net
