Penthouse Magazine's kid sister, Variations, is celebrating 30 years of kinky fun at the Cat ‘O Nine Fetish Gala this Sunday night at The Cutting Room, 19 West 24th Street in New York City. Hosted by fetish mistress Domme Dietrich, the event will feature Penthouse Pets Victoria 'Dr. Z' Zdrok, Krista Ayne, Penthouse Executive Club dancer Amie Campbell and accomplished violinist and House DJ Sarina Suno. Also featured will be a not to be missed 'Suspension' act and psychobilly band, The Memphis Morticians.

The first issue of Variations began as a Penthouse Forum spin-off, comprised of the wildest letters sent in to the Forum during the 70s. The reader's demands for more kink led to the magazine running brand-new fetish content and being published monthly starting in 1980. Since then Penthouse Magazine's kinky kid sister grew to have a decadent and lustful life of her own with a Variations line of adult toys, DVDs and Variations.com has thousands of stories and letters in its archive and is updated daily.

Says Variations editor Barbara Pizio: 'The December Anniversary issue of Penthouse Variations is our best ever - thanks to our readers. Their letters are what make Variations such a hot read, and they've definitely outdone themselves this time. Also in this issue, we're pleased to have sexy erotica from Alison Tyler, and an interview with spanking expert Lolita Wolf. I can't think of a better way to celebrate.'
