Suck the head, pinch the tails! Ok.. so I didn’t do that first part.. but I sure did enjoy cracking some mud bugs at the Crawfish Boil. Hosted by “The Cajun Experience” in Dupont, the party was fully dressed with the sounds of Lousiana and a menu made to please. I tried the Poboy sandwichs and gator bites which taste like chicken. I wasn’t bold enough to do the frog legs though. We saw Louisiana Senator David Vitter with his family.. not only dining but also dancing to the New Orleans band Zachary Smith and the Dixie Power Trio. Photo Credit: Dave Phillipich

Sponsored by Microsoft and Niche Media’s Capitol File Magazine, this year’s Couture for a Cure will honor former cancer survivors with a runway presentation hosted by master and mistress of ceremonies WJLA News reporter Scott Thuman and Hot 99.5 personality Sarah Fraser.
Tickets for the event are $75 per person for general admission and $125 per person for VIP and are on sale now at www.coutureforacuredc.com. All proceeds from Couture for a Cure will benefit both Vide’s treatment and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Be sure to buy your tickets in advance as NO tickets will be sold at the door.
