"Work Out" Recaps: Episode 3.6 "Get Nasty"Do it for Doug — A gay fundraiser just wouldn't be gay without drama and tension, and with both Jackie and Brian in attendance, the Doug Blasdell Outreach Program fundraiser should prove to be no different. The trainers arrive at Republic, a chichi restaurant, and mingle about, sipping drinks and greeting one another like it's been weeks since they've seen each other. Check out Erika checking out Agostina. Heh.
You can't swing a cat in Los Angeles without hitting an LGBT fundraiser. These charity events always feature the obligatory live auction, or the more mysterious "silent auction." I have yet to go to an LGBT fundraiser that did not feature auctioning off cruises, dinners for two, massages, signed lithographs or a walk-on part on Monk. Also big at these things: the gift bag. Gift bags always include lots of hair product, vitamin water, a one-day pass to a Hollywood gym (otherwise known as "gay church"), pens, glossy magazines you've never heard of, and DVDs of Seasons 1 and 2 of either Ugly Betty or Sex and the City. It's awesome, but someone needs to have a fundraiser to pay for the next fundraiser. The Sky Sport staff is all there, bathed, oiled and dressed as sharp as knives. Jackie makes her grand entrance, dressed in black with lovely Briana on her arm, and poses for pictures.
It's crowded, but not so crowded that Jackie and Brian can't give each other the stink eye from across the room.
As Jackie makes small talk with Don and admires the list of donors, Brian gets stupid on vodka, generously provided by Absolut. Plitt tells the group that Peeler signed his separation papers that day and is in a bad place. As Don makes his opening remarks, Brian clings to Rebecca and gives her a much-needed hug. Much needed by him. Rebecca is surprised, to say the least.
The live auction starts, saving Rebecca from having Brian weep on her bare shoulder. Jackie takes the stage and explains that J.D. and Rebecca, her "beautiful trainers," will be moving through the crowd, looking for the auction winners. Jackie: I pulled Rebecca and J.D. I know what my gays like, OK? So I pulled my two hotties up so they could go out and congratulate the winner of the auction, so it would be a nice touch. And that is why Jackie Warner has a series and you don't. A cute little auctioneer takes the mic from Jackie and blows the room away with her super-amped, hyper auction action. "Nineteenhundred.
