The 2009 Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Centers annual "An Evening With Women" went more than well last Friday at the fabulous Beverly Hilton Hotel. For people who don't know, this event is an evening set out to bring lesbians, bisexuals, and women supporters together for an evening filled with music, art, comedy, auctions, and much more! "An Evening With Women" celebrates all the achievements of the women in the community who make a difference each and everyday. But, I like to think it celebrates us all as a whole through out this country and the rest of the world!
This years event held a wide variety of a-list guests, including the infamous Samantha Ronson who spun her tuns all evening. There were performances by Christina Aguilera, and Linda Perry who rocked out the ballroom. As well as special appearances which included that of Sarah Silverman, Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Lynch, and many more that crowded the Beverly Hilton. The shrew of photo guests included:
Brittany Snow
Clementine Ford, and Mother Cybill Shepherd
Eliza Dushku
Michele Fleury
And the unforgettable Sharon Stone, who hosted a live auction filled with amusing and enjoyable laughter! All funds raised at "An Evening With Women" go to support a wide range of women's programs at the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center. Programs include: women's health, legal assistance, domestic violence prevention and education, and cultural programs designed just for women.
This is an astonishing event that helps so many of us feel as if we are being taken care of in any situation. This annual evening was created and is educed for all the right reasons!
