Vintage Distilling, an award-winning Los Angeles vodka company, teamed up with celebrity stylist and media personality Derek Warburton to host the opening night of Pride on June 1, 2023. The festive event took place downtown L.A. with uplifting music and the celebration of LGBTQ+ equality on everyone's mind.
Husband and wife team Erik and Silvija Dudor are proud allies who joined hosts Warburton, celebrity photographer Rowan Daly and actress Tara Reid, who also hosted the event. Mr. Warburton magazine was debuting Reid's new cover story. The cover has garnered international attention with her stating that being unmarried and childless in Hollywood has destroyed her career.
Tara was in high spirits and was on the scene along with many notable guests, including RHOA alum and actress Cynthia Bailey, celebrity hairstylist and star of Blowout LA Ted Gibson along with his co-star husband, Jason Backe, actress Kearran Giovanni, Shaman Durek, Los Angeles magazine president and publisher Chris Gialanella, actor-model Eric Guilmette, comedian Ben Glieb, celebrity publicist Heather Duffy and Hollywood beauty guru Robyn Newmark.
Vintage Distilling offered Derek Fabulous signature cocktails to the hundreds of guests as a preview of their new drink series for Pride Month with Warburton. From Derek Fabu-tinis to the Love Wins Cosmo and the Rainbow Riot, social drinkers and vodka connoisseurs alike gave high reviews of the freshness and taste of Vintage Distilling's vodka.
Every Friday for the month of June, a new Pride cocktail will be offered by Vintage Distilling on social media using Vintage Distilling's secret weapon, their honey vodka made from pure honey farmed in Los Angeles. Each cocktail has the freshest ingredients and can be made with Vintage Distilling's smooth classic or honey vodka.
As the night progressed, guests sipped on Derek Fabu-tinis as they took selfies and had their makeup touched up from the Derek Fabulous makeup collection by Face Stockholm. The collection was created last year with all proceeds benefiting GLSEN, an organization created by school educators to protect and support LGBTQ+ youth and their allies. Vintage Distilling is also a proud supporter of the organization and the community.
