i went to the most fabulous event last night called 'Night of a Thousand Gowns'. 3 very amazing people and I ventured on over to the Marriot Marquee to attend this STAR studded event. how david,jo,sydney and i did not die from the shock of all the beauty in the room, or the famous people, or the drag glamor, or the pain of our high heels i have no idea!
this evening was GAY TRANNY CHRISTMAS!!! never in my life have i seen so many drag queens, and this was not your run of the mill lip synching gal with a package...this was a room full of true elegant ladies. ladies who give their hard earned dollars to good causes, ladies who design fabulous wardrobes for this event, ladies who gracefully walk to runway and show the world who they are.
the people who attend and sponsor, and make this event possible are true heroes to not only the gay community but to the world at large.
guest of the hotel kept looking on in shock as we mingled around but everyone held their head high. and proudly showed their craftsman ship for making such beautiful clothing and jewelry for the evening. if you get a chance look up the imperial court of ny and attend this event next year.
this years performers ranged from jackie hoffman to bebe zarah, nina floweres, rebecca glasscock, chris seiber, michelle williams of destinys child and many other very talent artist.
this night will truly go down in my mind as one of the most inspiring evenings i have ever had.
thank you imperial court of ny!
The Imperial Court of New York is a social, fundraising organization which has raised and donated back into the community millions of dollars to both social and health support organizations. In addition to their own fundraising, they often lend support and talent to other organizations in their ventures by performing, selling raffles, or just adding beauty and style. The mission of the Imperial Court is to raise funds for organizations including those supporting the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered community, HIV/AIDS services and youth enrichment programs. It was all started in 1984 by it's founder, Empress I Jose, the Widow Norton she declared herself, starting the long line of Emperors and Empresses since then.
