None of us expected the turnout we got. More than 500 people courteously crowded into the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown for the 2nd Annual Newsbabes Bash for Breast Cancer. We squeezed Ambassador Nancy Brinker and DC First Lady Michelle Fenty into Degrees for their shared remarks. We were blessed to have them along with the so many men, women and media in pink who pitched in for this year’s Race for the Cure

Beautiful: Honoring Military Widows Left Behind

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

It was a night to say thank you to the widows of the fallen.

The Got Your Back Network hosted ‘Martinis & Makeovers’ at the Ritz Carlton Georgetown. It was a night to pamper and thank 13 women who’s husband’s made the ultimate sacrifice in the current war. Former TV ‘Bachelor’ Andy Baldwin  started the Got Your Back Network. The group provides guidance and resources for spouses like Andrea , Vivanne and Barbara who were left behind.

For our Fallen’s widows…

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Military charity is close to my heart. One of the big one’s I believe in is the one started by my buddy Andy Baldwin called The Got Your Back Network. His whole goal is providing resources and support to the wives who’ve lost loved ones at war.  On May 4th you have a chance to come meet some of these brave ladies… be insipred by them… all while enjoying martinis and complimentary makeovers!

DC Newsladies Dish at Lunch

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Pamela Brown, Angie Goff, Lindsay Czarniak, Sue Palka

Contrary to competition belief… us news gals from different stations really do get along. So much so that we frequently meet for a girls lunch out. Today  the fab Colleen Evans invited us to the Westend Bistro in Georgetown. The menu was delightful and the white and purple cauliflower to die for. In the end it was the mini macaroons that stole my heart– and FOX5’s Laura Evans who stole the show. She JUST had a baby boy and still came out to show the love and LOOKED AMAZING! Congrats Laura!

So what do we talk about? Well, us morn gals moan and groan about our hours but then offer our condolences when the primaries like Lesli Foster, Anita Brikman and Shawn Yancy have to dip outta lunch early to prep for their show. Lindsay and I dished about the Olympics and Fashion Week… while we all gave our roundtable YES vote for Pamela Brown’s new hue for her do!

PS:  Chef Joe Palma is so down to earth and is all about having fun with his American fare! Westend Bistro is located in the Ritz-Carlton at 1190 22nd Street NW DC.

PSS: Get ready DC… the babes are already talking Newsbabes Bash for Breast Cancer #2! Stay tuned, details on the pink flair affair to come. Follow the latest from all of us on Twitter @DCnewsbabes
