Give it to dental duo Drs. Duyen Huynh and Marc Nugyen. Those two make a fab fashion statement, it seems, almost every night of the week. Their persona at the recent “Wiggy Night Fever” fundraiser at the Omni Hotel’s Black Swan club topped the charts as they re-imagined ’80s disco chic.

She in a fringed top and black lace pants edged in rippling ruffles and he in leather slacks and a trés mod shirt said it all. While most of the other guests donned requisite wigs with their costuming, these two made their statement sans quirky coiffures.

That was left to other partygoers and Wig Out founder Nancy Riviere, whose successful bout against breast cancer led to formation of the nonprofit that provides cancer patients with wigs, headpieces, scarves, makeup and skin care as well as emotional support from volunteers who have been through the battle as well.

It was a rocking scene thanks in part to the bell-bottom-inspired costuming and to three drag queens “live from New York.” Songman Bubba McNeeley emceed their drag show that included a crowd favorite contest. Actually, it was no contest with “Tina Turner” easily winning over the antics of “Diana Ross” and “Cher.”

Kristen Cannon and Stacey Lindseth chaired the evening that raised more than $60,000 for Wig Out.
