London entertainers La Voix and Sandra were among the VIP guests at the inaugural Brighton Frocks fundraiser for the Sussex Beacon at The Old Ship Hotel on Tuesday night.
Organised by Jason Sutton, aka Miss Jason, and Simon Puttock, owners of Centre Stage Costumes, the unique event presented 20 new gowns designed and made in Brighton and modelled by straight men who had never worn a dress before. Local celebrities in the audience included David Raven, Dave Lynn, Jennie Castell, Davina Sparkle, Brian Ralf and Lee Tracey.
The evening was compèred by Simon Puttock and Danny Dwyer from Bear Patrol; entertainment was provided by the voluptuous Dolly Rocket and the Actually Gay Men’s Chorus. The show was directed by West End director Carole Todd.
£5 from each ticket sold is going directly to the Sussex Beacon along with 5% of the bar take on the evening. A public announcement will be made when a final total is agreed.
