Last night the City Reliquary pretty much brought the FDNY Calendar to life with a Fire Sale! Firefighters took to the Knitting Factory stage to sell... themselves, all to benefit the Reliquary (which is trying to stay afloat). Bids started at $50 and went over 300 bucks; winners were promised "a real life opportunity to take one of New York’s Bravest out on the town for a night of romance and adventure."
We sent Katie Sokoler to digitally capture the steamy action, and she tells us this gentleman in the video below got the highest bid (he did bring the booty bump, after all). He went for $305! She also tells us that the hostess you see on stage was so flirty that all of the men wanted to bid on her—but bidding only got up to $165, when word got out she's married. And it seems as though not all of the ladies were there to meet the fireman of their dreams, the winning bid for the hostess was actually from a girl.

That guy in the first photo is a fireman? He looks like a young Corey Feldman. Could he even carry a person out of burning building? Oh well, maybe they will party like a fireman ala "The Wrestler"
the demeaning objectification of men has gone too far.
events like these where men are treated like meaty commodities are purely sexist and this injustice against males will not stand!!
i'm going out in the street to burn my banana hammock in protest RIGHT NOW!!!
Humiliatingly delicous!
They didn't get any of the women to participate?
No, unfortunately both of NYC's female firefighters were busy that night. But at least the city's lone black fireman was able to make it!
So what was with the girl on girl auction shown in one of the later photos about?
As you'll see if you read the text, the girl on the right was the hostess for the event. She's not a firefighter.
Right you are. Her outfit threw me off. Did they auction off the chairs and tableware also?
