    Boogie Night

    Dallas disco fans boogie all night to raise cash for LGBT cause

    The Dallas Design District transformed into Funky Town for a night when Resource Center threw the 19th annual Toast to Life, themed “Time to Boogie.” And boogie everyone did.

     

    Dressed in leisure suits, afro wigs, platform shoes, and roller skates, these supporters — never ones to shy away from a theme — partied like it was 1979. To ensure the dance floor stayed packed all night was the incomparable DJ Lady Bunny, who spun disco favorites and cut a rug right alongside the revelers.

     

    Also keeping the party going was host Steve Kemble, who wore perhaps the biggest wig in the room. In a funny exchange, Lady Bunny looked at Kemble and said, “I’m mad at you because your hair is bigger than mine.”

     

    To keep their energy up, attendees — including Kemble’s gal pal and Real Housewives of Dallas star LeeAnne Locken, Resource Center CEO Cece Cox, Chad Collum, Tommy Walker, Susan Morgan, Erike Morgan, Rodrigo Orta, Johnathan Brownlee, and Silver Hogue — stopped by food stations set up around the room’s perimeter, featuring small bites from the city’s top restaurants, including Stock & Barrel, Spice in the City, Street’s Fine Chicken, Villa-O, Salum, Truluck’s, and Dish.

     

    Sweets were provided by the Original Cupcakery and Frosted Art. But who are we kidding? Dance fuel can most often be found in the glass. On this occasion, that ranged from sparkling wine to Stoli cocktails.

     

    When they needed a break from dancing (see what we did there?), partygoers cruised through the silent auction, placing bids on custom art, exotic vacation packages, and fine-dining gift certificates. After all, this disco party was as much about raising money as showing off one’s dance moves.

     

    The live auction proved just as important to the fundraising. Up for bid were items like a six-course winner dinner for 10 at Truluck’s; a VIP music experience for two to Lionel Richie and Mariah Carey at the AAC; and a two-night hotel stay, plus 70,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles. But the live auction item that generated the most buzz — and went for $1,700, which is three-plus more times its value — was dinner for four with WFAA’s Dale Hansen at the Palm.

     

    Perhaps you saw the national headlines after Hansen’s two-minute speech in support of transgender teen athlete Mack Beggs. It’s not hard to see why Hansen is beloved by the LGBT community, as well as so many others.

     

    All told, Toast to Life raised $218,000 for the programs and services of Resource Center, which empowers the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and all people affected by HIV through improving health and wellness, strengthening families and communities, and providing transformative education and advocacy.

    Matcha News

    Dallas TikTok star Keith Lee crafts matcha drink for flood relief

    Keith Lee hoists his special matcha drink.

    The devastating floods that swept across Central Texas on July 4 are bringing out all kinds of charitable endeavors — and that includes a limited-edition beverage from Dallas' favorite TikTok food influencer Keith Lee.

    Lee, a social media sensation whose online food reviews have benefited hundreds of small restaurants, is partnering with Dallas-based La La Land Cafe on a special drink: Called the La La Land X Keith Lee Latte, it's a matcha drink in which 100 percent of the proceeds will go towards Kerr County flood relief.

    La La Land is the coffee chain founded in Dallas in 2019 with a mission to provide opportunities for fostering youth and individuals in need. It now has 10 locations across Dallas-Fort Worth, plus three in Houston and six in Southern California.

    The new Keith Lee Latte will consist of double ceremonial matcha, with secret syrup, matcha cloud, a whole fresh strawberry, flaky salt, and matcha powder. (Lee can be seen enjoying the beverage in this video.)

    Matcha is the Japanese green tea powder that has experienced a surge in popularity, appearing in everything from drinks like the matcha latte to desserts like matcha mousse.

    Lee, who relocated to Dallas in 2024, has been on a matcha kick ever since he tried it in Chicago, which he says "led me down a rabbit hole," and it has become his trademark drink. In May, he visited seven cafes across DFW in search of the perfect matcha in town, and that included La La Land, where he ordered a matcha with almond milk.

    He also has a charitable history, including a special visit he made to Taste Project in Fort Worth to donate $4,000 to support the nonprofit's mission to fight food insecurity.

    The Keith Lee Latte will be available at all La La Land cafes beginning Friday July 11, for a limited time only. From July 11-27, 100 percent of all proceeds will support flood relief efforts in Kerr County - "a community in our home state that’s hurting," La La Land Cafe says.
