from www.tmz.com – The “Leather Meets Lace” party at the Playboy Mansion has triggered a lawsuit, filed by men who allegedly had to pay for admission while “gorgeous ladies” did not.

Steve Frye is suing on behalf of all men who paid $1,000 to get into the shindig. In his lawsuit, Frye claims he was fried when he learned “gorgeous ladies” got in free.

Frye claims the double standard is sex discrimination, pure and simple. He also says offering these women free admission “promotes harmful, negative stereotypes.”

He’s suing for unspecified damages … and a life.
