Actress Amanda Bearse (“Married with Children), celebrity chef Khristianne Uy and comedian Cathy Lewis are among celebrity guests expected to attend the “Wonder Women” fundraiser and kickoff party for West Hollywood’s new Lesbian Center.
Celebrity surfer Cori Schumacher, comedian Cathy Lewis and Kelsey Chavarria and Rose Garcia from “The Real L Word” will also attend the party on Saturday, Oct. 12 from 7 p.m.-1 a.m. The event, which will take place at a Hancock Park estate, will include drinks, dancing and music by DJ Dirty Rich Kidd.
Lauren Costine, one of the women behind the Lesbian Center, envisions the center as providing a safe space where L.A.-area lesbians of all ages and backgrounds can get together and develop a sense of community outside of the bar scene.
Eventually the Lesbian Center will take up residence next door to the June Mazer Lesbian Archives in the Werle Building, 626 Robertson Blvd., adjacent to West Hollywood Park. The West Hollywood City Council voted in May for vacant office space in the building to be used as a gathering space for lesbian-oriented events.
Tickets for the fundraiser are available online.
