Holloman’s appearance at the Dinah
will mark her second exclusive private showing for Club Skirts, something she
wanted to give to her fans and art lovers for their continuous support. Dinah
attendees will be able to purchase posters of her pieces and meet with The L
Word star that will be on hand to personally sign each copy.
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.
You'd never seen anything like it
yet … this is going to be an unforgettable year!
