‘Janes’ mount the catwalk April 7
ASTORIA — The Jane Barnes
Revue, a traditional rite of
spring, celebrates grit, humor
and the power of community to
raise funds to support the pro-
grams of the Astoria Downtown
Historic District Association.
On Saturday, April 7, nearly
25 community “Janes” — from
officers to librarians, business
owners to foresters — take
the stage at The Ruins at The
Astor and strut their stuff on the
catwalk before their friends and
family. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.;
the show begins at 7:30 p.m.
These brave community
members, willing to lay it on
the line for their neighborhood,
are the backbone of this fund-
coast
raiser’s success. Emcees Daddy
Yankee and Orca Dorkus, two of
Astoria’s wittiest women, will
take guests through an evening
of hilarity and revelry. Now in
its eighth year, this topsy-turvy
fashion show is still a hit.
Guests will also delight in the
new venue. A photo booth will
also be operational, so make sure
to get your picture taken with
your favorite Janes!
A brief intermission will in-
clude a short list of live auction
items. One of our favorites is
“Get YOUR Jane On,” which
means you or your friends
might have the chance to walk
the catwalk, too! Other auction
items include a private guided
