Babes Around Denver

Check out the pics from the Goddess Women’s Pride Party at Tracks. More than 1500 women were there and the party was amazing with  non – stop entertainment all night. Thanks to Lori Michaels “Me And The Girls” for heating things up  and to all our other fabulous performers – Frequent Flyer Productions, Wicked Little Girl Dancers, Midnite Martini Productions, Dream Project Dancers, Crystal and Debrae (Tarot Card Reading and Chair Massage). Natalie Garcia and Chantal Carrere stepped up to emcee the  Goddess Parade and we had more than 25 goddesses strut their stuff  with the lucky winners getting $250. Tracks deco was phenomenal and our VIP experience was first class. Dancing was non stop thanks to DJ Trina J but most of all thanks to all of you for coming to the “Partay” and making it such a great night.

Pride is over but the Goddess Party will be remembered! Happy Pride – Dede Frain and Babes Around Denver.
