Lez Date
Are you ready for the date auction?
It sounds like it. We’re getting tons of email RSVPs coupled with burning questions. Below is a sampling of FAQs. (We can’t wait for Thursday!)
Who took those hot pictures?!
Those gorgeous promo photos were taken by Mara Rago. And yes, those are “real” Pittsburgh lesbians, who are really going to be in the auction.
Is someone’s girlfriend going to beat me up for bidding?
No, every girl in the auction is 100% single.
How much cash should I bring to bid?
The bidding starts at $25. The dates are valued around $150-$200. So getting the girls for anything less would be a steal.
Can I pay with a card?
Yup! We take plastic. Right on the spot. Checks, too.
Where’s the money go?
To The Delta Foundation, whose mission it is to improve the quality of life for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community in Western Pennsylvania.

What makes me a great date: I believe I have huge heart and know what I have to offer someone. I’m not afraid to express my feelings. As a result of life experiences, I have an affection for life and for having as much fun as I possibly can while I can.

I pay close attention to simple things. I’m loving, kind, spontaneous, complimentary and a guaranteed good time
