Pride Party: Summer Glam 2012 Recap!

by Erica Cobb

Hey everyone!!  

What an AMAZING weekend.  As many of you know I have been working on this concept Summer Glam, a PRIDE party, for quite some time now.  

This year we brought in the lovely and talented Deborah Cox and she brought the house down!  

Because of the success of this event I’m very excited to move on to phase II, as Friday evening was far bigger than one night or one city  So before I take off for Chicago PRIDE I want to share some highlights from this event with you…




The weekend kicked off with an interview at The Four Season’s Pool Party with Deborah Cox, Thursday night,  about what to expect for her Summer Glam performance (ABOVE).  DJ Bedz (Official DJ of Denver Nuggets and Summer Glam) was spinning and conveniently  started playing Deborah’s hit “Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here,” to which set the tone for the whole weekend, unpredictable and fun.

Then it was show time…  Friday night Summer Glam kicked off with a crowd warm-up by emcee Goddess Duane and then Drag performances by our fabulous Denver Queens: Kiera Sexton, Venus Sexton, Sushi Chan, Shanida Lawya and Angelina Essex!  And then it was time to introduce our guest emcee Real World: New Orleans star Danny Roberts!  Danny reminded us of the timeliness of his appearance because “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has since been repealed.  (You’ll remember Danny made headlines because his military boyfriend during his Real World filming had to be blurred out because of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”) Then it was the Andrew Christian underwear model fashion show, followed by Sordid Lives Star and Pop Prince, Jason Dottley‘s performance with a special appearance by BassTramp (Above: look for them at St. Pete’s PRIDE).

Then it was all about Deborah and her LIVE performance was amazing.  The woman sang LIVE the entire time, danced and worked the crowd.  She look fabulous and performed flawlessly.  And if her planned performance wasn’t enough, she did an impromptu encore of “I Will Always Love You”… ACAPELLA (To watch click link or pic ABOVE)!!  What a way to wrap up this much anticipated and talked about event!!

Summer Glam is happy to have donated to the following LGBT charities: POINT Foundation (on behalf of Danny Roberts) which provides financial support, mentoring, leadership training and hope to meritorious students who are marginalized due to sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
As well as Turner Foundation (on behalf of Corky’s Pool Party) whose mission is to support the performing arts and to ensure the continuation of live theatre and music and the education of theatre and music for the benefit of the present and the future.
