When his marriage failed, he turned his attention to Snctm, which has since been profiled by Goop, the website founded by Gwyneth Paltrow (who is also rumored to be a Snctm member). “I was going through a similar thing myself, struggling with being monogamous with my wife,” he told me. A former party promoter and real estate agent, Lawner says he was inspired to launch Snctm after watching the aforementioned Kubrick film. So I got in touch with Snctm's founder, Damon Lawner, 47.
I ran into some friends who had attended previous Snctm gatherings, and they referred to it as “the most glamorous sex party we ever went to." "You have to go," they told me. I first heard about Snctm while at Soho House in West Hollywood, a members-only club for Hollywood's creative crowd. It’s a straight guy’s total fantasy, like Cirque du Soleil meets a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Everyone is fit and attractive, and everyone is wearing a mask.
Per the dress code, the men are wearing tuxedos, and the women, who outnumber the men by 6 to 1, are wearing La Perla bras, garter belts, and high heels. I’m in the inner sanctum of a secret Snctm sex party, and it’s a spectacular scene.
Louisiana’s current lease with the NFL team was set to expire in 2025, though Saints owner Gayle Benson has pledged to keep the club in New Orleans long-term.Īs part of the stadium financing deal approved Thursday, the Saints have committed to sign an agreement locking the NFL club into staying in New Orleans through 2035, with four five-year extension options through 2055 if the full Superdome renovations are completed. The improvements were announced by Edwards in August 2019, aimed at keeping the Saints in New Orleans through 2055. The renovations began in 2020 and are expected to wrap up before the Super Bowl scheduled to be held in the Superdome in February 2025. The $450 million in upgrades to the nearly 50-year-old iconic stadium in downtown New Orleans include expanded club and suite levels, new concession stands, viewing decks and other improvements. Those levels remain to be negotiated and set into legislation in the regular session, Cortez said. The $27 million in federal pandemic assistance would be returned to the state if hotel/motel tax dollars allocated to the Superdome oversight board, the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District, rebound to certain levels by 2023. The final deal will have the state paying less than the $90 million originally proposed for its contribution, and that could drop even further. “This is important for the state in order to keep that venue competitive,” the Democratic governor said. “It’s been a long haul,” said Schroder, the Republican chairman of the Bond Commission.Įdwards described the state’s agreement to pay for a share of the stadium improvements as critical to keeping the NFL team in New Orleans for decades.
