Animal Rescue Charity Tradition ‘Vice Is Nice’ Returns in July

LOS ANGELES — The “Vice Is Nice” animal rescue charity event and adult industry tradition will return next month after a pandemic hiatus.

Hosted by Kelly Holland and the Animal Rescue Alliance, the 11th annual “Vice Is Nice” will be held Saturday, July 16 from 6:30 until midnight.

“Vice Is Nice,” a rep said, “raises money (and awareness) for pets and their people.”

The event will feature “a celebrity poker tournament and Monte Carlo night, raffles, the hottest DJ in town, dancing,  Erica McClean and Aurian reading your cards, magician Kevin Curtain, fresh vegetarian food from Chef Marlin, red carpet photos and more.”

“We’ve been away for two years thanks to ‘ the Plague’ and now we’re back and we think this is gonna be the party of the summer,” said veteran industry figure and historic “Vice Is Nice” organizer Kelly Holland.

Holland noted the return of the event “has had amazing support from the industry. Even though it’s not strictly ‘an industry party,’ the adult industry traditionally has come together for animal rescue.”

For Holland, there are deep reasons behind the long-time alignment between the adult industry and the animal rescue charity.

“We live in a world with so much judgement thrown at people, especially those in adult” Holland said. “Animals are the ultimate non-judgmental creatures. There’s an affinity — people in the industry are very close to their animals.”

Also, she added, “a lot of people in our industry happen to be very big poker players. But regardless, there will be so many things to do — the card readers are so popular that we’re encouraging people to come by 7:15 if they want to reserve a reading appointment.

“No matter what you like,” Holland concluded, “there’s something at ‘Vice Is Nice’ that’s gonna be your interest.”

General admission — not including poker tournament — is $35 (advance) and $45 (at the event). For admission and poker tournament, tickets are $75 (advance) and $85 at the event. The traditional poker tournament starts at 8:15 p.m. sharp.

Guests who arrive via ride-share will received a free drink.

Vice Is Nice is still welcoming sponsors and donations for the raffles and volunteers.
