ManSites and PrideBucks Announce Winner of All-Gay Cruise

HOLMDEL, N.J. — ManSites, a long-established adult entertainment network for the gay male community, and PrideBucks, the gay adult affiliate program, have announced the winner of their Phoenix Forum Gay After Hours Party drawing: Videosecrets’ Eddie Bastian.

Bastian will receive a trip for two on Atlantis Events’ spring 2009 Celebrity Caribbean cruise.

For the past five years at The Phoenix Forum, PrideBucks and ManSites have cohosted a suite for the gay webmaster community that included an open bar, refreshments, snacks and pizza.

“ManSites has just released a complete redesign of our affiliate program, and PrideBucks celebrates five years of successful operation this month as well, so we both wanted to give something back to our affiliates and partners,” said Adam Winters, ManSites vice president of sales and marketing.

“We know that webmasters look forward to the opportunity to relax and network in a comfortable setting beyond the hours any local venue is open, so we provide this event every year for the show,” PrideBucks cofounder Harlan Yaffe said. “This was the best party yet, and we will have a tough time topping it next year.”

Atlantis Events is the largest gay and lesbian tour operator in the world, hosting some 20,000 guests annually. They select the world's top-rated ships and resorts, introduce signature entertainment and parties, and bring together a diverse group of gays and lesbians from around the world to create an environment that makes everyone feel comfortable.

“I'm so excited to be winning such an extravagant prize,” Bastian said. “Pridebucks and ManSites never cease to amaze with their awesome parties and great contests, and this one takes the cake. I'm really looking forward to it.”
