Women's Night All About 'Glitz, Glamour, Girls' |
|
An upscale venue, incredible auction items, hot dance music … and hundreds of women.
Those ingredients combined to make Women’s Night—held Saturday at The Music Box @ Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood—a deliciously chic celebration.
More than 600 lesbians, bisexual women and their supporters attended the star-studded event, that raised more than $210,000 for the Center’s services for women.
Actress Rosanna Arquette, who presented Sharon Stone with the Special Board of Directors Award, called it an evening about “glitz, glamour and girls.”
“I promise you, you will be married,” Stone vowed in her acceptance speech. |

“(If) you have a partner, they are your spouse, whether the government knows it or not.”
Out musician Linda Perry was also honored; the openly gay music industry powerhouse received the Creative Integrity Award.
