RS recounted the spark that ignited the partnership, saying, “When I met Micah 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.” He added, “Sabi ko, let me help you with this erotic Halloween ball.”

The theme of eroticism was an organic choice, explained RS. “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 be Luigi and Mario, you can be Marcoleta, you can be Discaya… Kasi sa amin sa Rampa, every night, we’re different. Every night, we’re larger than life.” he said. RS continued, “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.”

Expectations for the event include fun competitions with prizes for categories like most sensual and most whimsical costumes, adding an extra layer of excitement to the evening. As RS put it, “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.”
Micah of The Grand Hausse elaborated on the philosophy behind the event, emphasizing the celebration of humanity and sensuality without judgment. “The concept ‘Erotic’ came from our marketing team — and, I fully supported it naman because 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,” she shared. She also highlighted Salome Salvi’s role as the event’s hostess, noting, “Actually, it 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.”
Adult content creator and actress Salome Salvi expressed her enthusiasm for the event, revealing her excitement about creating a safe space for sexual expression. She shared, “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.”
