 Allison Cunningham is somewhat of a rolling stone, and a bit of a culture vulture. Growing up in Houston, Charlotte, and Maryland, she obtained her Bachelor's degree at Oklahoma State, and a Masters in London before spending two years on Capitol Hill. After finding her Southern Prince Charming, Allison resided in Charleston, South Carolina, but is now back in the rat-race working on the Hill. She is the former Vice President of Social Affairs for the Oklahoma State Society of DC, and is very involved in her Hill-Centric social life, filled with events, parties, receptions, and happy hours. If you have a Washington, DC charity or cultural event, restaurant, boutique, spa, or salon you would like covered on Miss A, please contact Allison at arecunningham@gmail.com. |
 
If you’ve been too caught up with holiday decorating, the end of football season, or simply can’t get into the Christmas-shopping mode until the temperatures finally dip below 70, then never fear, this Friday, the King Street Shop Walk is the perfect place to jump start your Christmas shopping. Over 35 retailers on [...] 
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my house has been stuffed to the gills with farm-fresh vegetables ever since Southern Prince Charming and I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture plan). I’m constantly looking for new ways to prepare some of the vegetables that we get a lot of, including sweet potatoes. [...] 
Southern Prince Charming and I have been looking for ways to both support the local economy and branch out, in all ways culinary. It was an obvious choice for us to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), as SPC is constantly wanting to fulfill his desires of being a farmer/ frontiersman. As members of [...] 
I’ve taken quite a break from writing about cooking for the past few weeks, as I’ve found myself in a but of a rut, creative and otherwise. However, I love to cook and often find cooking to be rewarding, exciting, and therapeutic all at once. So sometimes during the week, I like to throw [...] Cute picture of Miss A with Cherie Blair at Anti-Human Trafficking Meeting When I was living and dating in DC, my friends and I would often times email one another stories that seemed to be descriptive of our current dating-plight. “Essentially, we are doomed”, was one article that I recall by name, explaining [...] 
Recently Charleston had restaurant week, so being budding foodies, Southern Prince Charming and I decided it would be a perfect time to try out new restaurants without paying full price. For anyone unfamiliar with restaurant week, it’s a time when many restaurants get together and make reasonably-priced set menus to encourage new diners. [...] 
Back in 2005, a blonde Miss A and a brunette Sara Allen Abbott led the creation of the charity event Blondes Vs. Brunettes, a powder puff football game which supports the local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. After many successful years and branching outside of DC to other cities such as Houston, Austin, [...] 
Recently, Southern Prince Charming and I have taken a few strolls down King Street to try out Basil Thai Restaurant. SPC is more of a “Meat and Potatoes” guy, so getting him to venture to a Thai restaurant was a bit of a challenge in itself. However, after going to his favorite local chicken [...] 
As I mentioned in my previous post about football fashion, different places have different traditions when it comes to football. I learn more and more by each new school I visit, but one thing is for sure: now that I’ve officially reached my “Late-twenties”, I can’t party like a college kid any more. There [...] 
A Texas girl at heart, I am and always have been a college football fan, so I have literally worn my school spirit for all to see for many, many years. As with most things in life, this fashion changes as we grow older, and it is no longer acceptable for me to wear [...] |
