Miss A Columnist

Truly Gil is an NFL Cheerleader with a taste for fine dining, an eye for fashion, and an ear on the town. This Jersey girl turned Washington, DC maven, knows what’s hot and what’s not. From entertaining a stadium full of fans, to strutting down narrow catwalks, to jumping out of perfectly good airplanes (with a parachute of course), Truly has done it all. She feels right at home in the DMV area, surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful places, and she loves to speak her mind about all things DC. Truly enjoys writing about beauty, fashion, and local events. With dance moves that won’t quit, and a personality to match, Truly makes an exciting addition to the Miss A Team.
