The 2nd Annual Couture for Cure showcases DKNY but is outshined by models- the SURVIVORS!
Couture for a Cure was founded in 2009 by Bryan Namoff and his wife Nadine below, surrounding Joe Vide’s girlfriend Nicole. The show benefited Vide’s (former DC United player) fight against Hodgkin’s lymphoma and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

It was rumored to never happen but we’re glad it did. The party to celebrate 250 of DC’s most influential movers ‘n’ shakers under 40.
Upon entering the stunning Washington Club at Dupont (with hot date wusa9’s Lauren Vance) we took our pics against the wall with the wonderful Joseph Allen and Alfredo Flores and were soon ushered into the next room for check-in. That’s where we exchanged double kisses with list-mates Paul Wharton looking fab hair pulled back & the Corcoran’s Rachel Cothran beautiful in a romantic sheath. We also were greeted by Washington Life publisher John Arundel who told us about the magnificent venue.. a mansion built at the turn of the century by Chicago Tribune Editor Robert Patterson. Extraordinary I think! The mansion provided a warm air for the young on the guest list and then some. Among great history walked wonderful fashion and conversation. Events by Andre Wells superbly kept the rich feel of an ages-old establishment while adding touches of modern flair with bright flowers and strategically placed candles. The Asian fusion spread added a cultural taste and the swagalicious gift bags by Moki Media filled with everything from a Badgley Mischka parfum bottle to earrings by Karen Millen and Queen Bee were exciting to open.
All in all I’d have to say making the list is pretty neat— but after this night I think most would agree making the party is even better 😉

Like the rose in the summertime a simple email invite to brunch blossomed into a beautiful thing: An AOII reunion. It’s been (cough cough) years since I graduated from George Mason and said farewell to some of my best friends from some of the best years of my life.
How nice it was to see the baby pandas (now with real babies of their own-or on the way) again. What better way to re-light the loyal spark than at WILDFIRE.
The gathering at Tysons Galleria restaurant was perfect for us A-O-Piggies. On the Club Brunch menu… eggs benedict, baked maple french toast, applewood smoked bacon, potatoes and fresh fruit! Executive Chef and frequent 9NEWS guest Steven Lukis got ‘major snaps’ from the sisters. Shout out to my dad (a former IIOA- our sorority’s sweetheart) for playing photographer for all of us again!
Big Order: The New Class
Sweet treat: Thanks Vi for making personalized panda chocolates
Gavel Girls: Former Presidents Eve, Angie, Jennifer, Molley & Erin
New on the menu: Chef Lukis Scramble
Bridges? Sarah, Jo-Elsa, Jenny, Crystal & Avisha

Her mother Kathy’s novels inspired the hit TV show ‘Bones‘ so it’s no suprise that Kerry Reichs has some great writing genes. We caught up with the novelist as she signed copies of her latest book called ‘Leaving Unknown‘ at Gazuza Lounge in NW.
Watch WUSA: Reich’s Book Launch at Gazuza Lounge
The author who spent the summer in China says parts of her own life can be seen in the book about a girl finding her true self after gettin’ stuck in the middle of nowhere. (insert self here: Kerry you must’ve known I spent two years as a roving reporter lost in I-OH-WA)
[Upper Right: Kerry signs a copy for Steve Baker]
In line: Charlie “I Drink On the Job” Adler and Victoria Michael of VM Public Relations.
‘Leaving Unknown’ is novel #2. The Best Day Of Someone Else’s Life was Reich’s first.
By the bar: Matthew Christian Davis & Tina Cruikshank
The night’s kicker: 2 books down make room for baby. Reichs reveals she’s expecting a boy this summer.

When you put Twiggy, Lena Horne and Jackie O together it’s like a fashion atomic bomb. There’s so much style it may be hard to contain but DC based high-end designer Tashia Senn manages to keep the collaboration in control with her latest Fall/Winter 2010 collection.
Classy, sassy and even sexy ran rampant at her show held at the Ted Gibson Salon in Chevy Chase. Senn tells OMG “”I know it’s an unusual combination but this was a turning era in fashion and I incorporated these three women unique styles in my current collection.”
What to look for this Fall: an ensemble of high-end evening gown, flirty cocktail dresses, and party-ready jumpers made with Chantilly Lace, Silk Crepe de Sheen, Silk Charmeuse, Silk Chiffon, Silk Duchess Satin, and Wool Cashmere! To see the entire collection by the GWFCC designer visit tashiasenn.com

It was a rare scene. UN Foundation President Timothy Wirth couldn’t recall a time when the Ben Franklin room at the State Department was transformed into a photo exhibition for anything. More monumental than the pictures : the cause. The world water crisis brought hollywood stars like Kenna, Lupe Fiasco together with leaders like Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero and Ambassador-at-Large for Global Partnerships Elizabeth Frawley Bagely. The photo exhibit featured the trek up Kilimanjaro in January led by Kenna which included climbers Jessica Biel, Alexandra Cousteau and the UN Foundation’s Elizabeth Gore. It was called “Summit on the Summit” and was meant to raise awareness about the 1 billion people around the world who don’t have access to clean water.
Watch my interview with Lupe Fiasco and Elizabeth Gore on the 9NEWS Morning Show… and climb the mountain with the crew this Sunday when their documentary airs on MTV.
Team of climbers included Emile Hirsch, Lupe Fiasco, Santigold, Isabel Lucas, Alexandra Cousteau, Kick Kennedy, Dr. Greg Allgood, Elizabeth Gore, Bernise Ang, Simon Isaacs, Michael Muller, Jimmy Chin, Jason Walsh, and Melissa Arnot. UN Foundation President Timothy Wirth and Maria Otero also pictured.

It’s the only Academy sanctioned viewing party in DC. Oscar Night DC 2010 the third year was more glamorous than ever. You felt amongst stars at the Oscar fitting National Museum of Women in the Arts. My friends fell in love with the champagne glasses lined with honey topped with a fresh sprig of lavender. My guess is that the gorge gowns made for more people watching then Oscar viewing. Sandra, Monique, K. Bigelow and more… a little acceptance speech for you. We thank you giving us a reason to get decked out, wear uncomfortable kicks, eat fine food and party on a Sunday night. The events proceeds is one of the biggest fundraisers for our area’s Red Cross.
