Lips, the ultimate in drag dining, will present its very own “Vegas” style drag show “Dinner with the Divas” to benefit Neighbors 4 Neighbors at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9. This exclusive one-night fundraiser hosted by Lips’ leading lady, Diva and George Estevez of CBS4, will be a night of many stars with impersonations of Madonna, Diana Ross, Reba McEntire, Shakira, Tina Turner and more.
In Lips’ fashion, Dinner with the Divas will deliver all the glitz and glam that people flock to see regularly. Attendees will go back in time and enjoy new experiences as the ladies of Lips present their diva inspired extravangza in support of children and families in need. As an added element of fun, four local community leaders (surprise guests) will make their Lips’ stage debut to be part of the show.
“It’s great that we can present this entertaining night for our present and future supporters of Neighbors 4 Neighbors,” said Jen Klaassens, Board Chair and event co-chair along with Michael Goodman. “We are grateful to Lips and other businesses that support the mission of Neighbors 4 Neighbors, especially as we approach the holiday season and know that we will need to provide more support than ever.”
Lips’ Dinner with the Divas guests will enjoy the exclusive female impersonator show, a delicious three-course meal with two complimentary glasses of wine or Lips’ signature drinks for $50*. A limited number of VIP packages for $75* per person include premium seating for dinner and the show, plus a champagne reception with a meet and greet with the dynamic cast members of Lips.
“Celebrating four great years in South Florida, it gives us great pleasure to present this night of giving,” said Yvonne Lamé, Lips founder and co-owner. “All of us at Lips are committed to this community and proud to support Neighbors 4 Neighbors, Women in Distress, ArtsUnited, The Poverello Center and more.”
Proceeds from ticket sales will directly benefit Neighbors 4 Neighbors. Neighbors 4 Neighbors was created in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, in partnership with WFOR Television (then WCIX). N4N has connected those in need with those who can help for the past 19 years. Using a combination of resource development, collaboration with service providers and the power of media, they empower our neighbors to use the talents, time and money they have to help others. In the process, they find, as do others, that “Helping Feels Good.”
Guests of Lips always enjoy their favorite witty Mistress of Ceremonies such as Diva, Nicolette, Misty Eyes and Twat La Rouge. Lips’ cast of talented performers includes April, Charlize, Charity, Champagne, Chocolata, Deja, Franchesque, Jennifer, Martina, Nicole and Velvet, who light up any evening as they serve up delicious food and entertain with solo and group acts. A well-orchestrated show each night features a revue of past and present leading ladies of the entertainment world.
When it comes to dining, Lips is more drag-a-licious than ever before with its popular menu of drag queen-inspired delicious salads, appetizers, entrees and desserts. To
enhance the dining experience, Lips offers a full-bar serving its world famous frozen cosmos and other great specialty drinks.
