PRESS BIO
Peter Monn and Alex Paredes are a married, gay couple residing in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their concept for a social review and interview website grew from one simple concept over pizza and a mild argument.  As a person in recovery from addiction, Peter was no longer willing to have their money go towards alcohol tabs.  By writing reviews of local bars and events, they gained access to free drinks and into VIP sections.   They also believed that instead of seeing the same 30 people at every event they could highlight what was sexy, bringing more people to these events. After only six months of writing reviews  they were awarded best blog in Indianapolis as well as one of the best five gay blogs in Indiana.

Now, three years later, they have made raannt their full time business, interviewing celebrities who they believe contribute positively to today’s culture, reviewing international events and products and cultivating a belief that ultimate luxury is based on being fearless and being yourself.

They are highly involved in marriage equality and bullying issues and Peter has made it his silent mission to demonstrate that people in recovery from addiction can have an active social life.  They are currently working on a book which integrates their concepts of ultimate luxury and making total life changes to achieve your dreams and live passionately every day.
