Pictured above Mariah Hanson with (from left): Chely Wright, Lily Tomlin, Katy Perry, Cece Peniston, Pat Benatar, and Ke$ha.Down a long dusty driveway in Sonoma, California, past a stable of horses, an old discarded truck and other rusty artifacts, I arrive at Mariah Hanson’s beautiful ranch house, where the party producer spent childhood summers with her family.
I’m here to chat about Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, aka The Dinah, which celebrates 30 years under Hanson’s tutelage when it returns to Palm Springs September 29 through October 3.
I’m also here to renew a friendship. It’s been a few years since we’ve ridden horses together in these northern California hills.
