On February 6th, Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta hosted itsfirst bubbles and bling event at Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery in Buckhead. Thiscocktail party-with-a-purpose raised $141,500 for Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta,which provides life-saving breast health services to women in Metro Atlanta. “bubbles and bling gave Atlantans a new and exciting way to meet the needs ofwomen in this community,” said Cati Diamond Stone, executive director of Susan G.Komen Greater Atlanta.More than 300 people attended the sold out party, headlined by co-host of the RickeySmiley Show and Fox Network’s Dish Nation Ebony Steele, Atlanta’s favorite female impersonator Celeste Holmes, and five-time Grammy nominated The Mad Violinist.Guests enjoyed food by Proof of the Pudding and bid on an array of silent auction andraffle items, with one lucky guest winning a one carat diamond.
The Performances
Celeste Holmes did an amazing performance with her female impersonation of a blinged out Marilyn Monroe. I kept thinking, did my Drag Queen Birthday Brunch come early? She was awesome, I couldn’t stop watching her! Another female impersonator performed a cute baby dollesque show that was also amazing.
“In addition to having a great time, guests helped raise$141,500 that could provide more than 14,150 Metro Atlanta women with access toclinical breast exams, a critical step in detecting and surviving breast cancer.”
I overall had a fabulous time! This event coincided with my born-day and I had a pinkalicious time! It was such a classy but modern and fun event. There was definitely a lot of bubbles and blingery (is that a word) going on. I felt bad because I really wanted to wear pink, but I couldn’t find a cute pink dress that I wanted in time, but thats ok! I was able to wear a pink tutu during the event!
Now this was the most fun for me! Everyone knows my love for all things photos and fun, so at the Susan B.Komen step & repeat, there were tutus that we can wear to ours support for Tutus & Tatas! My friend Nina & I live for these kind of photo ops so we took several pictures for fun and giggles!
MEN IN TUTUS
These guys were so excited to put on a tutu. Men in pink tutus are sexy!
Overall this was a great way to spend my birthday for a wonderful cause to bring awareness about breast cancer. This 1st annual event for bubbles and bling was a success, and I can’t wait until next year’s celebration! Great way to bring in my birthday! Cheers!
