HIP-HOP’S BIGGEST REVELATION IGGY AZALEA ANNOUNCED AS ONE OF THE HEADLINERS AT THE DINAH 2014 !

HIP-HOP’S BIGGEST REVELATION
IGGY AZALEA
ANNOUNCED AS ONE OF THE HEADLINERS
AT THE 2014 CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND




Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend – the largest lesbian event of its kind in the world – has confirmed Iggy Azalea as one of the 2014 main headliners.

Iggy Azalea, one of the most hyped MCs/female rapper in American hip-hop, is set to headline The Dinah’s Friday night “White Party” at the Palm Springs Convention Center on April 4, 2014.

Azalea whizzed into Internet fame as the white girl (now L.A. based) with a raw, no-nonsense delivery, a penchant for dirty talk, and a string of stylized, provocative music videos.  She has already garnered buzz with mixtapes ("Ignorant Art," "TrapGold"), her "Glory" Ep, working with her manager and "mentor," T.I. 

Being an MTV Artist to Watch, snatching a major record deal with Island Def Jam, touring with Beyoncé in Australia, and preparing her debut album “The New Classic” (due out early next year), Azalea has established herself as an unmistakable member of rap music’s next generation. She broke through a long-standing barrier within hip-hop by becoming the first female MC named to XXL Magazine’s “Freshmen Class” list of rap’s fastest-rising young stars.

She recently made headlines, joining Robin Thicke onstage at the 2013 MTV EMAs to perform “Blurred Lines”, dazzling in a metallic mini-dress with matching knee-high boots. The Aussie bombshell, who kept a safer distance from the crooner than Miley Cyrus, delivered a powerful new rap verse to the smash hit sans “twerking” drama. Yet, the Australian femcee is certainly no stranger to controversy having turned heads with her provocative videos for her hits  “Two Times” and “Pu$$y”.






Other notables joining the Sydney, Australia-born rapper include rock band and stars of “The Real L Word”, Hunter Valentine, as well as Mary Lambert, the featured vocalist and songwriter on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ VMA award-winning pro-equality anthem “Same Love”, which just received a Grammy nomination for "Song of The Year", and Porcelain Black, among many others.

Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend delivers another roof-raising celebration with a steamin' hot lineup that will most definitely blow the lid off the sunny oasis!

Get ready for the 2014 Dinah Shore Weekend … it’s gonna be a big one!

Exclusive Dinah Q&A: Up close and personal with comedian Erin Foley





 
 Up close and personal with comedian Erin Foley

 


What are you most looking forward to at the Dinah this year?

I’m excited to see my friends from the east coast. There’s a posse coming in for
the craziness. I’m also looking forward to performing with Fortune and Gina who I absolutely adore on and off the stage. And, of course, seeing boobs. 


What do you have planned for your show?

Magic and puppets and fireworks.


How will it feel to perform to thousands of hot women? Do you think it’ll be different audience than a regular show?

Performing for thousands of hot women, yes, I would say that’s different than ALL of my shows. Can’t wait. I’ve performed at Dinah a couple of times and the audiences were great.  The women are there to laugh and have a good time which is all you can ask for.


What does the Dinah represent to you? How do you think it has served the LGBT community for the past 24 years?

I think The Dinah provides an amazing, safe space for lesbos to hang out with other lesbos. I’ve been lucky to live in NYC and LA for the last 15 years and those cities have a built in gay community. I think The Dinah does an amazing job of creating that community (even for just 3-4 days) for women who don’t have that back home. It’s really wonderful. 


What would people be most surprised to find in your suitcase for The Dinah?


Heels? Packages of almonds? A good luck gnome?


What is the one fashion trend you wish would just die?

Tevas. On land. I don’t even want to see them near the water.


What is the one fashion item you cannot live without?

I’m obsessed with large, chunky watches. And I love high tops. That’s two fashion items. Lesbian fashion items.


What was the most embarrassing yet comical moment of your life?

I was hit with an onion ring mid show. I was performing in a lunch room at a college in Peoria, IL when I first started doing comedy on the road. It’s funny now, not so much in the moment. But I survived and managed to still have a healthy relationship with onion rings.








Who's your female celebrity crush?

Heidi Klum. Halle Berry. Jennifer Lopez if she doesn’t speak. 


What’s your “guilty pleasure” song?

I hate to admit it, but As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber. He’s a turd but that song is insanely catchy. And my friend Renee and I have memorized the rap part. That happened. 


Are you into the TV show “Orange is The New Black”; and if yes who’s your favorite character and why?

Yes, I love that show. I think you’d have to be in a coma not to enjoy it. Too far?
My favorite character is Alex because I have an insane crush on Laura Prepon.




Worst gig (and why)? Best gig?

Worst gig: see the answer to no. 9. Onion ring, enough said. Best gig? I think my two appearances on Conan were amazing. They might be tied with the night I taped my Comedy Central half hour special in New York City. I will never forget that night. 


What can you tell us about your upcoming project(s) for 2014?

My upcoming projects...lots of fun road gigs coming up next year. My full schedule is www.erinkfoley.com.
And my sports podcast “Sports Without Balls” will be moving to All Things Comedy, an amazing comedy webiste, which is going to rock.





As The Dinah is celebrating its 24th Anniversary, what would your birthday card read?


Happy Boobday Dinah! Thanks for 24 years of golf in April!

Hunter Valentine To Take Center Stage at Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend’s World-Renown Pool Party


Rock Band & Stars of The Real L Word Season 3
Hunter Valentine
 To Take Center Stage at Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend’s World-Renown Pool Party



Power, pop/punk band and stars of “The Real L Word” Season 3, HUNTER VALENTINE, is confirmed to perform at the upcoming 2014 Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend – the largest lesbian event in the world (www.TheDinah.com).
The in-your-face all female rock band is set to take the stage at the Hilton Hotel in Palm Springs, CA, on Saturday, April 5 at 4:00pm during the legendary pool party.
Coming straight out of starring in Season 3 of Showtime's hit reality series The Real L Word, into the release of their third studio album, titled Collide & Conquer, and the nationwide “She’s So Unusual” tour with pop icon Cyndi Lauper, no one can deny the momentum behind rockers HUNTER VALENTINE.                                                                     

Formed when singer/guitarist Kiyomi McCloskey met drummer Laura Petracca in a crowded bar in their hometown of Toronto, the two quickly forged an unbreakable bond that has seen the band rise to success dazzling audiences across the globe and singlehandedly invading our iPods.  

Now with three studio albums under their belt, the band has grown into a veritable powerhouse, performing worldwide on over 200+ sold-out tour stops a year.



 The ladies of Hunter Valentine are everywhere, making headlines nationwide from the cover of Curve Magazine to Huffington Post to Revolver Magazine's Hottest Chicks in Metal issue as well as a live TV appearance on Fox 5 in Las Vegas, A-Sides on The Huffington Post and Time Warner's "SoCal Sound" (entertainment magazine show on Time Warner Cable Channel 101 in Los Angeles), to name a few.
Continuing its intimidating rock fame doing what they know best - promoting their music through heavy touring schedule across the US, Canada, Asia and Europe - the band has solidified their line-up, put down roots in Brooklyn, and grown their fan base steadily around the world. They are currently in the studio working on the recording of new material.
It's clear the band has arrived and is exploding into the mainstream already making a whole lot of noise!  A band that is undeniably best experienced live, Hunter Valentine is guaranteed to make more than a splash at The Dinah and take the Californian desert by storm!

MARY LAMBERT, THE VOICE BEHIND MACKLEMORE'S PRO-EQUALITY HIT "SAME LOVE", SET TO PERFORM AT CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND, THE LARGEST LESBIAN EVENT IN THE WORLD.







MARY LAMBERT
THE VOICE & SONGWRITER BEHIND MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS’
PRO-EQUALITY HIT SONG “SAME LOVE”, IS SET TO PERFORM AT
CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND IN PALM SPRINGS
The Largest Lesbian Event In The World



Mary Lambert, the featured vocalist and songwriter on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ MTV VMA award-winning pro-equality anthem “Same Love”, is confirmed to be performing at the original Dinah Shore Weekend in Palm Springs also known as The Dinah.

The Seattle-based singer-songwriter and spoken word artist, Mary Lambert will take the stage on Sunday, April 6, 2014 at the Hilton Hotel for the grand finale of the Dinah’s legendary series of pool parties.





Lambert has single-handedly captured the attention of the entire nation and the LGBT community with her incredible breakout role in Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ single “Same Love”. The song, a heartfelt plea for tolerance and gay rights, on which she wrote and sings its hauntingly catchy chorus, has allowed Lambert’s voice to reach millions.  It was recorded during the campaign for Washington State Referendum 74, which resulted in legalized same-sex marriages.

As one of the biggest music revelations of 2013, Lambert went from juggling several jobs to playing in front of thousands of people, touring across the country, and performing live on national television on such hugely popular primetime and late night shows as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, VH1, and The Colbert Report, to name a few. "Same Love" has sold over a million copies in the US alone, peaking at number 11 on The Billboard Hot 100. It won the award for “Best Video with a Social Message” at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards and a highly acclaimed live performance with special guest Jennifer Hudson.  




Lambert recently expanded on the chorus of her marriage equality anthem releasing the very personal song, "She Keeps Me Warm," about being in love with a woman. The song's video has attracted more than 2 million views on VEVO and YouTube since the single dropped in the summer. Now stepping out on her own, Lambert is currently working on her first full-length album, which is set to drop in 2014.
A self-proclaimed “Femme lesbian”, Lambert will come home to the community she’s proudly and openly part of, with an exclusive live performance - her first ever – at the upcoming 24th installment of the largest lesbian event in the world: The Dinah.

The loveable Southern comic, Fortune Feimster is a full-time writer and performer on E!'s popular late night talk show "Chelsea Lately" with Chelsea Handler .

FORTUNE FEIMSTER


Her co-star, Gina Yashere has been a stand up and TV star in the UK for several years.  She broke onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on NBC’s Last Comic Standing  (where she made it to the final 10) and on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (NBC), as Madame Yashere, The Surly Psychic. The Hollywood Reporter recently named her "one of the top 10 rising talents". Her bombastic delivery, infectious personality and cheeky observations have wowed audiences not just in the UK and the US, but also around the world.


GINA YASHERE


Without a doubt one of the lesbian community’s favorite rising stars, Erin Foley is a hugely talented comedian with a style and wit that has earned her a strong and respectable following. She’s also a gifted actress whose impeccable comedic timing and ease in front of the camera has placed her alongside the most sought-after funny ladies working in entertainment today. From New York City’s comedy club circuit to her Gays R Us show at the Hollywood Improv, Foley is on a roll and everywhere. She recently appeared for the second time on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien”, was just seen guest-starring in an episode of the hugely popular web series “Little Horribles,” and is set to be going on “Last Call With Carson Daly” next week.
