An Evening With Women

Wow, here's an event I would have loved to have been in town for. The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center’s “An Evening with Women” -- featuring everyone from Roseanne Barr, Sara Gilbert and Wanda Sykes, to Aimee Mann, Courtney Love and Gina Gershon -- raised nearly half a million dollars for Center programs and services, and looks like it was a blast. Courtney Love reportedly closed out the show with “Under My Thumb,” “Violet” and “Make Me Over” -- and during her performance of the Hole hit “Celebrity Skin,” she pulled Roseanne Barr on stage, where she (like much of the audience) danced along with the Mother of the Year. (This I would have loved to have seen!) Here are some photo highlights from the evening, all shot by Beck Starr:
