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

As good as its guests
You may be wondering, just how many girls have had the chance to cozy up to Justin Ross Lee? Was he ever the ladies man he appears to be before he was tied down by the old ball and chain? After all, he does have the money to spend pampering beautiful women, and let's face it, we've all seen the skanky looking gold diggers in the club falling over tables to get their freshly manicured fingers on those comped bottles of Grey Goose. It couldn't be hard to take one of them home, could it? Justin tells us to “Take the # you’re thinking of , divide it by 3 and multiply it by 100." (We came up with 300!) but he says "seriously more than 50 less then 100.” We asked Justin if the RD was his first love? “No, I dated a girl named Heidi. It was very serious, we met in Paris. I would see her 2 times a month." Are wedding bells in the near future for the JewFace of Facebook? Well apparently “there would be more glass broken during the discussion, then during the actual marriage.”
Whether your love him, hate him, or couldn't care less about him, JRL has a following and there is no doubt about that. He said, "Most of the people who don't like me never met me, they know of me, I'm a fable. If they like me, they refresh the facebook page 5 times a day, if they hate me they refresh the page 10 times.” How do the haters treat Justin in person? Well no one has approached him, they point across the room and then comment on the blog. Apparently “No one has the chutzpah” to actually approach him in person. As for his fans? If you see him out, go on, say hello. "I've never given the cold shoulder to anyone who has approached me..." jokingly adding, "now f*ck you" If you would like to step out of your anonymous blog box to have a few words with Justin, go right ahead as well. He tells us “If people really wanted to find me, I’m not hard to find, I update my status every 15 minutes.” He explained to As good as its guests that he is much like the Bravo TV network. “I have an audience of about 80% girls, and 20% gay guys.” This is part of the reason why Justin has pitched stories to Bravo and has had an offer for a reality show from an undisclosed network. There is no denying that Justin is extremely witty and wildly entertaining. We don't know about you, but we would love to see something like the facebook videos that have us rolling on the floor laughing turn into our newest reality show obsession.
