2010 Satin and Silk Ball

For the second time at the newly renovated St Kilda Town Hall, Matrix Guild put on the now legendary Satin & Silk Ball 2010. It was a hot, windy night outside but inside it was comfortable and safe as lesbians of all ages sat around tables displaying purple & green floral arrangements. Ms Angie Hilton as Kylie as well as two dancers in bright costumes provided the main entertainment of the evening. The performance started in a dramatic fashion that brought the audience to its feet. Angie sang a number of popular songs and encouraged audience participation.

DJ Anny provided a great selection of music that got everyone up and dancing. DJ Trish provided technical support on the night. The Dance Cats provided a wonderful display of ballroom dancing. Unfortunately the belly dancer had to cancel out but nevertheless it was a great night!

2009 DANCE WITH DUSTY A GREAT EVENT

Two hundred women turned out for the Matrix Dusty Dance 2009 many dressed for the occasion. The event was held at the newly renovated Fitzroy Town Hall, with the town hall transformed for the evening with floral arrangements and balloons displaying a purple & green feminist theme.

DJ Trish provided a selection of music ranging from the 60s to today to cater for a diverse age group.

Wendy Stapleton as Dusty gave her best performance ever and thrilled the audience with powerful delivery of all of the favorites. She also came down from the stage and interacted with us. It was very much a “coming out” for Dusty!

We are committed to the support of appropriate care and accommodation choices and alternative lifestyle options for the older lesbians in Victoria.
