We’re going to the Dinah and you can, too!

It’s been two years since I journeyed to the desert for Club Skirts The Dinah, aka the biggest lesbian party in the universe, but this year’s line-up was too good to miss out on the party. So I’m grabbing my newly purchased DYKE sports bra, my trusty companion Chloe and a camera and heading to Palm Springs this Thursday through Sunday.

We’re your smiley correspondents! If you can’t make it to the Dinah this weekend, we will keep you up to date all the ladylike fun we are having with Shane, Alice and Tina. We’ll be interviewing the celebs and celesbians (not always one and the same) on the red carpet and in the sunshine (rough job!) but we want your questions!

Thursday night is the annual comedy show, with one of my faves of all time: Erin Foley.

She’s performing with Fortune Feimster, my first-ever Dinah roommate. We were Dinah virgins together, and I’ll never forget.

The best part about that video is if you go to YouTube and look at the comments, someone wrote, “Oh Trish, you’re so silly. Did you get laid in that outfit?” I may be two years late in replying, JurricaChiannaNycole, but that outfit was not worn to find me a suitor.

Also doing some comedy situations: Gina Yashere, who I have not seen before and have heard great things about.

“I have no idea what to expect or what we’ll be doing but it sounds hilarious and awesome,” Chloe said. “Since I’m AfterEllen’s resident single gal (gal is my least favorite word and I only use it sarcastically), married muffins Trish and Karman often encourage me to get it as much as possible, but I’ve been on a conservative twist and let them down lately vis-a-vis sluttiness. To compensate, I’ve promised them selection and veto power over any and all of my potential Dinah hookups. I’m really looking forward to making out with beautiful, horrible girls from, like, New York who I’ll never have to see again.”

Ready to mingle That is the spirit, Chloe!

Our AfterEllen pool party on Friday is going to have some rad cherry chapstick. (Duh.)

“Trish promised me I could give some lucky woman a champagne facial at the AE pool party so that’s something I can check off my bucket list,” Chloe said. “Just yesterday I purchased a high- waisted print bikini, floral crown, and chunky gold chain so I’m really looking forward to attending Dinah as Lana Del Rey.”

That evening is a One More Lesbian Dinah Film Festival with some of your faves from web series like Little Horribles, Nikki & Nora and Girl Gets Girl in attendance, like Aasha Davis and Marnie Alton. I cannot WAIT to see Iggy Azalea perform Friday night. If you’re not familiar with the rapper, I know you’ll love this Clueless-inspired video she made with Charlie XIX.

And when she plays “Werk,” it is going. down.

Iggy is playing Friday night at the White Party, and she’ll be showing everyone up with that amazing bod. Maybe she’ll come to our pool party during the day! Fingers crossed.

Hunter Valentine kick off the L Word pool party on Saturday. I wonder if Laura is bringing her famous red bra?

Kate Moennig, Leisha Hailey and Laurel Holloman will be there for a meet-and-greet, which means you can get a photo taken with them and make all your friends super jealous. You can also buy some of Laurel’s art work.

There will be some dodgeball happening, too, which is always good for the sporty gals who like to get competitive.

Tegan and Sara, fresh from their Juno wins, will be playing at the Black Party that night and I am super hoping they bust out their dance-hit “Body Work.”

Right after, there will be some celebrity poker going on. Let’s hope the ladies remember Papi’s rules.

“Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.”

Eve is hitting the Palm Springs Convention Center stage at midnight, and we’ll all be shaking our tambourines.

After minimal sleep, Sunday is the final day o’ fun with Mary Lambert keeping us warm with her vocal stylings at the Hilton Pool Party. What a babe.

If you’re still standing, there’s a closing night party at Zeldaz. And then when Chloe and I come back home, we’ll have all kinds of video editing to do. But before that can happen, we want your questions for the celebs hitting the carpets and the parties. Hit us up if you are dying to know something from Pumpkin Brooke of Flavor of Love fame or Lyssa Chapman from Dog the Bounty Hunter. (Seriously.)

But also coming are Kim Stolz, Guinevere Turner, Ari Fitz and Nicole Pacent. Perhaps they are more up your alley?
