Dont forget that the single hottest event of the summer is coming up real soon. I cant wait to attend the legendary The White Attire Affair on July 15th in Washington, D.C. Copies of my co-edited collection If We Have To Take Tomorrow: Black Men, HIV, and Same Sex Desire will also be distributed to all VIP guests. Special shout-out to Javon Carrington and Tim'm West (a contributor to Tomorrow) for their amazing work with this event. The flyer is super hot featuring two of D.C.'s prominent house-ball legends: Whitney Miyake Mugler and Mother Ayanna Khan. I'm sure they will be in attenance as well as thousands of others.

This year's event is expected to draw nearly 2,000 members of the nation's African American gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community along with their families, supporters, and friends. Of course the evening would not be complete without Ummah's signature HIV/AIDS prevention information and messaging interspersed and available throughout the night. The White Attire Affair is an HIV/AIDS fundraiser and social marketing event. Portions of all proceeds are donated to a local organization who is directly involved in HIV/AIDS.

The night will feature live entertainment, celebrity guests, food, drinks, dancing, and music by some of the nation's most renowned DJ's. Ummah's very own Models of Perfection will rip the runway in a high-energy, glamorous, all white fashion show.
