Bachelor/ette Auction by WgirlsNYC at M2 Ultra Lounge

What were my feelings on one of the most anticipated events of the Spring charity season? AMAZING!!

Emilie and Jessi Marquez

May 28th, the WGIRLSNYC hosted the Opportunity Rocks” Bachelor/ette Auction to support the Opportunity Network’s valuable programming.

M2 Lounge 

Over 500 NYC young professionals gathered to mix and mingle at M2 Ultra Lounge to cheer on the lucky bachelor/ettes, and celebrate the start of summer!

To purchase your hot date, there was a silent auction as well as a live auction. The available bachelor/ettes walked around with blinking pins so they were quick to identify. 

If buying a date isn't your thing, the Wgirls also auctioned off weekend stays and gift certificates. 
Belvedere and HobNob supplied a fabulous open bar.  I may have had a few black raspberry martini's. 
Justin Ross Lee chatted with me before being auctioned off. We tried to guesstimate his worth...he figured somewhere near $25 K. He was a pleasure to speak with as always, and his "interns" were quick to refill our empty glasses.
The crowd was good looking and fun...and ready to spend there money on charity.
JR from MTV's "The City" was auctioned off live. Having met him a few times at Brother Jimmy's it was very funny to watch. My friend Emilie proceeded to purchase him for $450. It's for a good cause though, right?
After the auctions ended, the DJ cranked up the music and started a full on dance party. Girls of all ages danced on the stage and couches. Men in suits ordered bottles of champagne and toasted to a successful evening. Favorite line of the night..."I may not have bought you, but can I buy you dinner." CLASSIC

XOXO

As good as its guests
