The Queen of glitter - and the undisputed Kings of Lion pampering - will be honored by the University of Nevada "Hall of Fame" tomorrow afternoon (September 25th) at 6:30 p.m.
Fans of Liberace and Siegfeld & Roy will undoubtedly trot down to the Artemus Ham Hall on campus to join in the fun (free!).There will also be a VIP reception (after the initial opening ceremonies) for those who pine to meet the celebrated entertainers Siegfeld & Roy in person.
Attendees who cough up a $200 contribution to help raise funds for the organization are invited to the chi-chi after-soiree to mingle and munch on complimentary food and exotic cocktails.
Several months ago, I was inspired to pen a post on the highlights of Liberace's dazzling career, which also zeroed in on the intriqing private life of the extravagant showman - who chose to not only play the fop - but quip on one hilarious occasion:
"I'm laughing all the way to the bank."

In recent months, it was announced that a bio of the late-great Liberace is in the works to star - believe it! - Michael Douglas.
Well, if he could handle the "War of the Roses", why not the scandalous romantic battles of Liberace?
The "Hall of Fame" was formed to specifically honor residents of Southern Nevada (in the Vegas metropolis in particular) who have made outstanding contributions to the Arts which include those of a Visual, Performance, or Archictectural nature.
In addition to Liberace and Siegfried & Roy, other honorees named at press time included respected architect William E. Snyder, Patron Bernice Fischer, and former two-term Nevada Governor Lorraine Hunt-Bono.
Each receipient will be gifted a Sidney Award - which was named after the 1st inductee - Director George Sidney.
