Celebrating
this year its milestone 24th Anniversary, The Dinah 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. A life changing
experience offering lesbians the opportunity to express themselves, to be
who they truly and gain a tremendous amount of self worth.
The
Dinah is also a unique five-day affair of lesbionic luxury and fun
complete with epic pool parties, unique high-profile nightlife events,
celebrity appearances, live performances, a famous celebrity Dodgeball game, a film
festival, a Celebrity Poker Tournament, philanthropy, the hottest women, the
best DJs, and so much more.
Turning
this year again the city of Palm Springs into the ultimate entertainment hub,
the 2014 Dinah Entertainment Roster delivers an epic slate of Top Ten Billboard
headliners that make up one hell of a line up - one of the greatest in The
Dinah's history.
Headlining
this year is Lesbian cult favorites Tegan and Sara. The pop
sensation duo will bring their “Heartthrob” world tour to The Dinah with an
exclusive concert on Saturday, April 5 at "The Black Party" at the
Palm Springs Convention Center. The twin sisters have been on an
unstoppable meteoric rise since the release of their 7th studio
album “Heartthrob” and the massive success of their lead single
"Closer". Their Dinah performance marks the first time the pop stars
perform at an all lesbian event.
Also
headlining the "Black Party" is female rap titan Eve. The
Grammy-Award winning rapper will perform her slew of music anthems
including "Satisfaction," “Who’s That Girl”, "Gangsta
Lovin’”, and "Let Me Blow Your Mind". Also set to top the
bill at the epic lesbian party is hip-hop’s biggest revelation Iggy
Azalea who will take center stage at the iconic "White
Party", Friday, April 4 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
The
Dinah 2014 will also be rocked with special performances from 2014 Grammy
nominee Mary Lambert, the voice behind Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’
VMA award-winning pro-equality “Same Love”; Grammy Award-Winning R&B
diva, Evelyn "Champagne" King known for her
multi-million selling classic old-school smashes “Shame” and ”Love Come
Down”; Thea Austin, the legendary voice of "Rhythm
is a Dancer" by Snap!; and power, pop/punk band and stars of
“The Real L Word” Season 3, Hunter Valentine, to name a few.
On
the comedy front, “The Dinah Comedy Night” hosted by Suzanne
Westenhoefer will be headlined by Fortune Feimster of
E! "Chelsea Lately". The loveable Southern comic will be joined by
Last Comic Standing alumni, British comic Gina Yashere and
stand up’s fastest rising star, Erin Foley.

this year is the “Celebrity Poker Tournament” with all
proceeds going to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Celebrities
joining the poker tables include Jill Bennett ("Second
Shot"), Chef K (ABC "The Taste"), Guinevere Turner
("American Psycho"), Ari Fitz ("MTV The Real World
Ex-Plosion"), Gloria Bigelow ("Wanda Sykes Presents
Herlarious"), Tracy Ryerson ("The Real L Word"), and Brittany
Wiener (Bravo "Millionaire Matchmaker") among many others.
Also
coming back is The Dinah Film Festival presented by OML, held
on Friday, April 4, at 8:00 p.m at the Hilton Hotel. Produced by
award-winning filmmaker JD DiSalvatore (the producer of
Shelter, Marine Story and Elena undone, to name a few), the Dinah film
Festival will showcase a variety of quality lesbian films including “Little
Horribles” "Nikki & Nora", "Kiss Her I'm Famous",
"Dyke Central", and the short film "Secrets & Toys",
among others.
New
this year is the "Battle of the DJs" hosted by
Dinah's resident DJs Lezlee, Asha, Lisa Pittman, Saratonin and Amara. The
competition held over two-days will feature some of the best DJs on the West
Coast!
If
that weren’t hot enough, did we mention the exclusive L Word Pool
Party?
Hosted
in association with Showtime, The L Word Pool party will be held on
Saturday April 5 at the Hilton Hotel.
L
Word iconic stars, Leisha Hailey and Kate Moennig will,
respectively, step back one more time into their famed
Alice Pieszecki and Shane McCutcheon shoes for an exclusive
meet and greet hosted from 2:30pm to 5:00pm in the grand
Ballroom. As this year marks the 10th Anniversary of
the official television debut of The L Word, Club Skirts and SHOWTIME are proudly commemorating
the nostalgia of a memorable era in lesbian culture that celebrated out loud
our “girls in tight dresses who drag with mustaches”!
The
epic five-day world-renown weekend is already making a lot of noise and is well
on its way to be the biggest Dinah EVER.
