LOS ANGELES, CA – Los Angeles based animal rights activists had additional reasons to give thanks this past holiday week, as Wicked Pictures contract superstars jessica drake, Brad Armstrong, and Kaylani Lei staked their claim on the red carpet to support the first annual Cuties For Canines (www.cutiesforcanines.org) charity benefit.

Designed to raise awareness and funds for dogs scheduled to be euthanized in Los Angeles shelters, the evening was hosted by Cuties For Canines founder and Maxim model Bobbi Sue Luther and held at the beautiful and exclusive 5th & Sunset Studios in West Los Angeles.

Jessica, Brad, and Kaylani were joined on the press line by such Hollywood notables as Playboy‘s Kari Whitman, Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory‘s Deep Roy, Terminator 3‘s Alana Curry and many more.

Inside, the innovative event featured entertainment from special guest dance DJs, martini and tequila bars sponsored by SoBe, a charity silent auction, and gift bags sponsored by Wicked Pictures. The silent auction saw both jessica and Brad bidding on – and winning – some of the evening’s pricier items as they supported the evening‘s cause. The evening concluded with the team spending some quality time with Fox News personality (and fellow dog lover) Mark Thompson, who’s since recounted his brush with Wicked greatness on Fox Television‘s That’s So Hollywood.

In addition to the Fox coverage, Kaylani, jessica, and Brad‘s attendance at the event was covered by such mainstream media outlets as Wire Image, 97.1 Free Los Angeles, and Contact Music. With their high profile releases like The Craving, Coming Home, Delilah, Candelabra, and Kaylani Unleashed having made strong showings in the recently announced 2008 AVN Nominations, this successful evening proved that whether they’re focusing on winning critical acclaim or supporting a worthy cause, the contract superstars of Wicked Pictures always deliver!
