MAGGIE COLLIER
Maggie Collier, owner of Maggie C Events, has been knockin’ the socks off lesbian New Yorkers since 2007 with her formula of upscale venues, sexy entertainment and an elite crowd of Manhattan lesbians, such as at her weekly parties Stiletto and Crème de la Femme. Collier’s multiple awards and accolades (including five GO Nightlife Awards) from dozens of nationally read publications have reinforced her reputation as one of the most powerful and respected LGBT event producers in the country. “With all the struggles gays face in the workplace, at home and in society, it’s nice to know this outlet exists for them to be comfortable expressing themselves as they are,” Collier observes. Bringing women together—romantically or otherwise—is the icing on Collier’s cake, especially “when women I’ve never met contact me to let me know they’re getting married or having a baby with another woman they met at one of my events.” She’s branched out from NYC by partnering with Miami-based Pandora Events and GO for Valhalla, the first annual women’s week at the W Retreat and Spa on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, launching this October. –KL
