Downtown superstars Susanne Bartsch and Kelly Cutrone are hosting a Pride event — including a free ball — Thursday night at the Hard Rock Hotel, we hear.
We’re told decorated party vet Amanda Lepore and Married to the Mob’s Leah McSweeney are also expected at the bent bacchanal at the Times Square spot, as — naturally — are a coterie of drag queens.
Meanwhile, “Slut Pop” star Kim Petras has designed a hotel suite for the occasion, and we hear there’s a VIP viewing earlier in the evening. (The set of rooms with its own terrace, dubbed the Love Out Loud Suite, is available for overnight stays starting at $1,200, we’re told, and the hotel has donated $50,000 to the Trevor Project for the occasion).
According to the hotel, “The artist’s personality shines throughout with her signature pink hue infused in the design, bespoke artwork, an interactive gaming area, and photo worthy creative touches.” It adds that guests can “Play Kim’s Grammy-winning music [in the suite] while indulging in her hospitality rider or soak in the city views from the fully outfitted and expansive outdoor terrace.” Other artists have created other “Love Out Loud Suites” in other Hard Rock Hotels around the world, it seems.

A select few are also invited to a pre-party event, Turn A Look, which promises to “dress you up, mess you up, and bless you higher” before the big bash, which starts at 10p.m. at the hotel’s The Venue on Music Row.
Bartsch, of course, is one of the city’s most celebrated party hosts, and Cutrone is the longtime owner of fashion PR powerhouse People’s Revolution, as well as an alumna of reality classics including “The Hills” and “The City.”
As Page Six reported, Bartsch recently found herself caught up in a battle for gym supremacy. Her gym, Crunch, booted her when management learned that her husband, fitness guru David Barton, was opening a rival sweatbox nearby.
