What’s your secret identity? Are you a mild-mannered Joe by day and a dashing hero by night? Are you a plain Jane at work and a dishy diva when the sun goes down? Or is there a devilish and dastardly villain lurking inside you who’s just waiting to come out?

Join us at Fort Mason, Sunday, February 22, 2009, for an evening of cocktails, capes, and criminally haute couture as we celebrate the Academy Awards® night and support organizations in our community that help those affected by HIV/AIDS.

Bid on dastardly vacations, hot jewels and villainous fashions in the Silent Auction Salon. Enjoy sinful libations from the best restaurants, distilleries and wineries and lounge in the lairs of SF’s top designers.

Top off the evening with dancing and a performance by the international ballroom and Latin dance spectacular, Burn the Floor, other special guests and a live drawing to win a new 2009 Audi.
