The San Francisco LGBT Community Center will hold its 10th Anniversary celebration—Soiree 10— à la mode française on Saturday, March 24, 2012, when the San Francisco Design Center Galleria becomes a decadent turn-of-the-last-century Parisian salon. Paris's "Belle Époque" or "beautiful era" pre-World War I was a period of invention, optimism, style, rebellion and flamboyance. Soiree 10 will celebrate that spirit as The Center instantly transports you from SoMa to Montmartre. Think peacock feathers, cloche hats, cigarette holders, Zelda Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, flappers, the can-can and Moulin Rouge! Step inside, and take in the sights and sounds of gay Paree: - Kick off the evening with host and local comedian Marga Gomez as vintage tunes are spun on antique crank-up gramophones by blues chanteuse (turned DJ) Veronica Klaus, then dance to contemporary club hits from SF's hottest DJs Hard French, Stay Gold, Viennetta Discotheque and Some Thing. - Enjoy a cabaret of the crème de la crème of Paris' avant garde past and San Francisco's queer present, as Glamamore, Fauxnique, Honey Mahagoney and other performers from San Francisco's queer nightlife conjure the spirits of Josephine Baker, Mistinguett, Edith Piaf and stars of the Belle Époque. Mingle with the fabulous and the fantastical—chat up a walking Eiffel Tower!—as costumed performers Ernesto Sopprani, Persia, Hoku Mama Swamp and others roam the Galleria's hallowed halls. - Bid on big prizes at our silent auction, featuring all-inclusive travel packages, restaurant and spa gift certificates, beautiful objets d'art, gift baskets, collectibles, and dozens of other unique donated items. - Drink from a full bar of cocktails, beer, wine, and soft drinks available at three hosted stations, and mange a selection of savory and sweet hors d'oeuvres from more than a dozen of San Francisco's finest restaurants. For our Tenth Anniversary Celebration, we are Free to be Fabulous! Join us in celebrating 9,000 monthly visitors to the Center, 5,000 info and referral service users per year, 500 youth served annually, 900 clients in Economic Development programs, 75 program partnerships and collaborations, 500 LGBT referral connections and more!
