I started as a simple volunteer through DC Cares volunteering with the Sierra Club’s Inner City Outings, Washington Home and Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, Cystic Fibrosis [...]

I’m not an astrologer, but I predict there will be a lot of eye rolling in June!
Tareq and Michaele Salahi are still hocking tickets to America’s Cup of Polo which is supposedly going to take place on the National Mall on Saturday, June 12th. According to my source who spoke to the National Park Service [...]

My Assistant, Rachael Schwartz saw them and told me that I looked “like a totally different person.” I was a totally different person back then, as I’ve grown and [...]

This powder puff fundraiser has come a very long way since 2005 thanks to the hard work and creativity of Sara Allen Abbott and Ryan Triplette! Since 2005, this event has raised over $75,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association National Capital Area Chapter. This event which was once just an idea at a cocktail party, has gone [...]
