MARIAH HANSON PRESENTS
Founder of Club Skirts and The modern day Dinah Shore Weekend, Mariah Hanson produced her first solo Dinah Shore Weekend in 1991. Taking over the stunning Palm Springs Museum, booking entire hotels so that they were 100% lesbian occupied, bringing in national sponsors, current national recording artists, and keeping all events in walking distance, she developed a Dinah concept that is still imitated today. The simple but daring concept catapulted the Dinah to international fame. Today, The Dinah is considered the largest lesbian event in the world. In 2006, Mariah took the Dinah to yet another level. Booking The Pussycat Dolls and other top tier performers, she brought the Dinah once again to a whole new level. "In 2006, I finally had the freedom to present a Dinah that was equal to the event's international fame. The Pussycat Dolls actually left their Black Eyed Peas tour to play the gig. It was momentous." In '07, Mariah and her sexy Club Skirts crew continued the success of '06 with an even bigger line up, including India. Arie, Jackie Warner, and 35 other celebrities. The L Word joined with Mariah to produce Be Scene, an event in which L Word stars Kate Meonnig, Leisha Hailey, Jane Lynch, Ilene Chaiken and Alexandra Hedison mischievously judged pre-selected audience members as they acted out their favorite L Word scenes. For one weekend, thousands of women unite in the common bond of life affirming celebration. Women from all over the globe can't help but leave a weekend like that changed for the better. I am proud to produce it."Mariah says.

She quickly branched out to a Saturday night dance Club, The Girl Spot, which reached international status, and was open for 15 years! In 1996, Mariah brought the Dinah concept to Northern California, and The Monterey Women's festival was born. A mini-Dinah, The Club Skirts Monterey Women's festival was held for seven years.
