SASHA’S HOT DESERT NIGHTS
by sasha scarlett Palm Springs shines in April like no other place on earth.
Perfect sun-filled days, bring hordes of party-goers to the desert... For what is certain to be an endless array of amaz- ing desert activities.
Here is what’s happening: Dinah Shore brings in the ladies fromWednesday, April 1 through Sunday, April
5. As an alternative for the younger, femme lesbian, I suggest Krave Spring Break on Saturday and Sunday, April 4 and 5, with daytime pool soirées and evening dance parties, all taking place at Hacienda Cantina. This year’s headliner is hip-hop artist Siya and features a half dozen fab DJs and some of SoCal’s sexiest Go-Go Dancers. Krave produces LA’s biggest girl for girl parties and this one will be winner. For tickets and more information, go to
kravespringbreak2015.com. In what promises to be one of the biggest “non-official” parties during White Party
Weekend, Justin David’s Desert Tea takes place on Saturday, April 25, at Hacienda Cantina, 1555 S. Palm Canyon Drive. Featuring a bevy of sexy guys dancing to the throbbing sounds of DJ HiFi Sean, you’ll want to check this party out. For tickets and more information, go to

check out99 Bucks Fundraiser at the posh Riviera Hotel Grand Ballroom onSaturday, April 11. The Artists Council presents this annual fundraiser for the education depart- ment of the Palm Springs Art Museum, for which celebrities and other artists create artwork on 5x7 inch canvases. This popular and intriguing one-night event draws more than 1,400 art lovers from all over Southern California to purchase select works to buy. Only after they do, will they learn the name of the artist, as the artworks are signed only on the back of the canvas—past, surprise contributors include Tony Bennett, Barry Manilow and k.d. lang.
