About the Event
What is the Event
Tutus 'N Heels is a walk for the LGBTQ Youth of Camp Brave Trails.
​
This is a fun short mile walk in High Heels and Tutus in Silverlake. Our route includes the iconic Akbar on Sunset Blvd, the world famous Eagle LA on Santa Monica Blvd, and a BIG PAYASOS STYLE Beer Bust at the always sexy Rough Trade Gear store on Sunset Blvd.
​
Why Walk and Why High Heels
We are bringing our community together one step at a time, as we raise awareness and funds for important causes and charities, such as Camp Brave Trails. A short walk flying the biggest freak flag you can muster is a great way to get others to support you as you raise funds.
Plus you and your friends can strut your stuff and CELEBRATE life! This is YOUR opportunity to express yourself and have fun in a safe space that welcomes all aspects of the LGBTQ community and allies.
Why Tutu’s
​
Have you ever heard of Tutu Tuesday? Well, it’s a lot like tummy Tuesday but with a skirt. Tutu’s are a favorite of Burning Man and have a long history in queer and counterculture.
But more importantly, it’s our chance to have fun and be silly – regardless of your orientation, your gender, whether your masc or fem, or your body type. We ALL look Fantastic in Tulle!

PARTNERS
AKBAR
For nearly 30 years, Akbar has proudly been “a neighborhood oasis” – and has refused to be defined by a single aesthetic or group of people. Long-running events have included Dirty Dirty House Club, Craft Night, Bears in Space, Planet Queer, Drunk on Stage, and even the Rock Steady ska & reggae night. Patrons love our Halloween contests and free New Year’s Eve parties. But even more than the amazing list of parties and performances, Akbar is about community … it’s a space for people to come together to enjoy a strong drink and a great jukebox.
​
Eagle LA
The current location of Eagle LA has served home to many gay bars over the years dating back 44 years. It was known as the Shed from 1968-1972, The Outcast from 1972-1983, the famous Gauntlet II from 1983-2005, then later, Eagle LA.

​
Will I need a Tutu or Heels to walk?
We are asking you to wear one or both, its up to you.
​
Will I need a Tutu or Heels to go to the After Party Beer Bust?
C'mon, it wouldn't be a party if you weren't all dressed up. Its not mandatory, but it's strongly encouraged.
​
Do I have to walk to go to the After Party Beer Bust?
No. But you would be missing all of the fun. And also, the starting line is where you get you armband to get into the party.
​
Can I donate to show my support without walking or attending the After Party Beer Bust?
There will be a link to donate in Eventbrite and we will also be using Venmo. Click here for more info,
Or you can use Venmo @payasosla to make a donation in any amount you would like. If this is in behalf of a participating walker or group please put their name in the comments so we can track it for them.
​
How high does the heel have to be?
As high as you would like. But sometimes we gotta stroll low to get there. Who's gonna say no to a short pump in a pinch?
​
What do I need to wear under my tutu?
There are no nudity laws in Los Angeles, but with that said, you are going to be in public. Use your discretion. Of course what happens at a Payasos Beer Bust lot party behind a privacy screen is up to you.
​
Is the Beer Bust a sex event?
No.
​
I can't walk in heels!
Welcome to the club. Go Slow. And take advantage of our Heels Coaches the morning of the event.

I am having trouble with the Venmo
