We talked with entrepreneur, actor and filmmaker RS Francisco during the photoshoot of his collaboration with The Grand Hausse for the upcoming Halloween event Sleazeball, happening on October 29 at The Grand Hausse restaurant in Quezon City. It will feature adult content creator Salome Salvi, pageant hunk Steve Marquez and from the house of Brigiding, Bomba Ding. RS will be the creative director for the project.

How did the collaboration start?

“When I met Micah (Sy) sa The Grand Hausse, which I loved the interior, and sabi niya, ‘RS, you wanna partner with Grand Hausse?’ Sige, why not? Let’s do this. Ano bang gagawin natin? ‘Gawa tayo ng Halloween.’ Ano bang gusto mo? ‘Gusto ko ‘yung kakaiba, ‘yung pag-uusapan ng tao since it’s the first time na may gagawing party sa Grand Hausse.”

“Sabi ko, let me help you with this erotic Halloween ball,” he continues.

How did they come up with the theme erotic?

“Tinanong ko, anong plano mo for Halloween. And then, siya (Micah) nagsabi Erotic Halloween. Sabi ko, why not? Because you know, Halloween is the time when people go crazy. You can be Sister Ong, you can be Luigi and Mario, you can be Marcoleta, you can be Discaya, you can be sex stars, whatever. Kasi sa amin sa Rampa, every night, we’re different. Every night, we’re larger than life. Every night, we can do this or that. But not everybody can be drag performers and all. So, they wait for that perfect moment, Halloween, when they can be loud or whatever. Whatever it is. That’s why sabi ko, perfect ‘yang concept mo na erotic. Let me brand it. We partnered with Salome Salvi, and we’re creating a sensual menu just for that night.

Will there be a contest and prizes?

“Meron din. Most sensual, most whimsical, iba’t ibang categories.”

How erotic will it be?

“It depends. Ang sa akin, you can be erotic with just your eyes, you can be erotic with your body, you can be erotic with your brains. Whatever your definition of erotic is, you’re welcome to go.”

The Grand Hausse’s Micah Sy also shared some information about the collaboration.

“The concept ‘Erotic’ came from our marketing team — and, I fully supported it naman coz for me, The Grand Hausse has always been about love without judgment. I know that erotica or sensuality is often misunderstood or even shamed, but in truth, it’s actually one of the most sacred, powerful forms of creative energy, the same life force that fuels art, passion, and creation itself. And for me ha, having Salome Salvi as our hostess, some might think it contradicts to the “sacredness” of this life force energy im talking about (SEX – Sacred Energy Xchange) actually represents what The Grand Hausse truly stands for. Wala naman act of sex dyan, not about lust or indecency naman, never about who’s “aligned” or not. But about compassion over condemnation, understanding over separation, and respecting every soul’s journey. Because at the end of the day, The Grand Hausse is about embracing humanity in all its forms to celebrate sensuality without malice, embodiment without shame, and love without condition.”

The face of Sleazeball, Salome Salvi, also shared how excited she is for the Halloween party

“We wanted to create a party that’s a safe space for their sexual selves, their sexual alter ego. We’re really excited for our fans to discover how nice it is sa The Grand Hausse. The food is amazing and they’re very open-minded sa mga ganitong bagay. I’m so grateful that they thought of me as the face of this party because it’s something that I’m interested in doing. I’d love to host a party, so I’m glad that they gave me this opportunity.”

Sleazeball is happening this Halloween, October 29 at The Grand Hausse restaurant in Quezon City. Follow RS Francisco and The Grand Hausse for more updates.
