CLUB SKIRTS DINAH SHORE WEEKEND RELEASES NEW PROMO VIDEO FOR THE DINAH 2014






As the original Dinah Shore Weekend (April 2- April 6, 2014) is, for the 24th year in a row, about to bring all-time high temperature records , Club Skirts has just released a brand new promo video, "The Lesbian Book Club", giving a hot glimpse into what the biggest lesbian event in the world is all about.

Starring an outstanding ensemble cast of fine actors and comedians including Guinevere Turner ("American Psycho", "The L Word"), Doria Biddle (radio personality, host of Out Q on Sirius XM radio), Gloria Bigelow ("Wanda Sykes Presents Herlarious"), Erin Foley (who was just on "The Arsenio Hall Show"), as well as a cameo appearance by Mariah Hanson (founder & producer of The Dinah), the video takes us from the cozy, intimate walls of a lesbian book club in the freezing East Coast weather to the scorching heat, blue sky, and celebratory settings of the epic Dinah Shore Weekend in the sunny oasis.

Produced, written and directed by award-winning filmmaker JD DiSalvatore, the promo video is a hilarious comedy humorously hinting at a hosts of reasons why The Dinah offers the perfect escape from "Snowmaggedon" currently slamming the East Coast and bringing chaos to the mid-Atlantic.

With some 15,000 plus women from all over the world making the pilgrimage each year for a life-changing experience, The Dinah Shore Weekend is
a one-of-a-kind destination where women of all ages, interests, ability, relationship status, cultural background and profession come together for one big giant celebration of the community.  What The Dinah offers is the opportunity for lesbians to express themselves, to be who they truly and gain a tremendous amount of self worth.

This is no fiction … it's The Dinah!

Outfest Announces 2013 Award Winners Wrapping up the LGBT Film Festival's 31st Year In Los Angeles!

The 2013 Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival came to a close yesterday.
Once again the festival delivered another amazing year of programming!








It truly was an honor and a treat for us at Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend to be part of the 31st Outfest Film Festival as official sponsors.  Having successfully premiered our first annual "Dinah Film Series" this past April, we have been dedicated to extending our involvement in promoting the many achievements of LGBT filmmakers beyond The Dinah by engaging in and supporting Film Festivals that create and enhance opportunities for our community in front of and behind the camera.

As Mariah Hanson (founder & producer of Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend) comments: “Film is one of the most important mediums to expose the general public to our lives and how normal our lives are. Through films we can not only create more straight allies, but also change hearts, minds, legislation, and ultimately change lives as well."

With that in mind, Club Skirts would like to thank everyone at Outfest for making our Outfest experience an outstanding and memorable one! A special thank you as well to Kirsten Schaffer (Executive Director), Christopher Racster (Director of Individual Giving), and Amy Walmann (corporate relations Assistant).

Showcasing some of the finest LGBT films, documentaries and shorts, over the course of 11 days,
the nation’s leading LGBT film festival, and the oldest film festival in the city of Los Angeles, culminated with the announcement of the winners at the award brunch held yesterday at the J.W. Marriott in downtown LA.




The 2013 awards were grouped in three categories: special programming awards, audience awards and jury awards (see the complete list of winners below).

 Here are the photos of the Award Brunch:
