Per the custom, the highlight of the party was a semi-scandalous fashion show featuring swimwear, underwear and lingerie, produced by Todd Ramos with hair and makeup by Edward Sanchez and his team. Male and female models from the Page Parkes agency, a longtime CityBook partner, strutted the hip bar in sometimes revealing looks by clothiers including Top Drawer Lingerie, Leather by Val, Manready Mercantile and Manbuns.
Chapman & Kirby servers handed out delicious bites including miniature beef Wellingtons. And bartenders mixed up special cocktails for the occasion such as mango margaritas, smoked Old Fashioneds and espresso martinis, thanks in part to generous spirits sponsors Cazadores tequila, Angels Envy bourbon and Grey Goose vodka. Wine and sparkling wine also flowed.
Magazine editor Jeff Gremillion welcomed about 200 guests, including Valen Custer and her Brazilian fiancé Vitor Villar, the real-life model couple who appeared in the 2024 Sexy Issue’s racy fashion shoot. “People always marvel at how attractive the crowd is at the Sexy Party,” Gremillion brags. “I guess we stack the deck a bit, when we make sure our hottest models turn up!”
As presenting sponsor of the Sexy Issue and co-host of the bodacious bash, Indigo displayed fabulous cars out front for guests to consider renting. Lamborghini or Rolls Royce, anyone?
CityBook’s Sexy Issue, with its provocative fashion imagery, has been a staple of summer in Houston since the magazine launched in 2016.

The Pixar Putt interactive mini-golf course includes 18 holes depicting the stories and characters from movies like Cars, Toy Story, Wall-E, Monsters Inc. and more. The experience is a collaboration between Junto Entertainment and TEG Life Like Touring, and comes to Houston on the heels of a sold-out run in Washington D.C. It was last in Houston in 2021; since then, new features have been added, including ones inspired by recent hit flicks Inside Out 2, Elemental and Turning Red. Kids and adults alike will enjoy posing for pics with the house from Up, navigating the holes of Swiss cheese from Ratatouille, and scoring a hole-in-one on Buzz Lightyear.
It's open seven days a week through Jan. 20 (but will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day), and offers adults-only putt-putt on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings after 7pm. It is recommended to reserve a tee time by purchasing tickets online prior to arrival.
