All proceeds go to benefit Makeda, Sasha & Lilly's fundraising for the Blonde's vs. Brunettes charity flag football game in support of the Alzheimer's Association. Since 2005, Blondes vs. Brunettes has raised more than $75,000 for the Alzheimer's Association National Capital Area Chapter. This unique charity has brought some of Washington, D.C.'s most prominent young women leaders together to raise awareness about the disease – sometimes occurring in individuals as young as 30 – and funds for the Chapter so that it may continue to provide services and programs – at no or low cost – to area residents.

Congrats to the Kastles!!!

Congratulations to Mark Ein, Jessica Jacobs, and the Washington Kastles for their successful domination over the New York Sportimes 18-17! The third straight win was celebrated by a completely sold-out crowd downtown at Kastles Stadium. Although it was a Tuesday, many of us continued the celebration at the Offical After-Party at The Park on Fourteenth mixing and mingling with the players and fans. Special thanks to Cat B. for setting that all up for us ladies! Ahem, I may have confessed to Kastles' player Justin Gimelstob my 6th grade crush on him from the Sybase Open in San Jose. Whoops! At some point we headed over to Tattoo Tuesdays before calling it a night. Is it Friday yet?

The Rookery Grande Opening Re-cap

Bo Blair, the LNS acclaimed "King of Georgetown" has done it again... this time with perhaps an even finer sense of class. I remember first hearing of this new endeavor two years ago when I was supposed to host a New Year's Bash there with the Sullivans, Ryan Zimmerman, and Tom Snedeker. Let me be the first to say that I think the Rookery will prove to be worth the wait.

Arriving at his new hot spot, The Rookery on 25th and Pennsylvania, immediately I saw a signature Bo detail that brought a smile to my face... people being turned away. Now I love meeting new people and new faces were definitely far and few between at the opening, but I also love the fact that he is known for having a list and actually having the doormen enforce it. Quite reminiscent of the London members-only clubs I miss so much.

The interior was stunning without being spectacular, with University Blue walls and wood paneling on the two floors. Elegant but comfortable at the same time. Think Smith Point 2.0, for those less inclined to dance on tables but who still will be double fisting RBVs. Both bars were filled with beautiful, smiling people- the most important adornment to any night spot in D.C. Kudos to Bo, and best of luck...

The Reason I love D.C.

If you love something, let it go and if it comes back it was yours to keep... Right? Well I left D.C. and now I am back. Why? I think I am addicted.

D.C. has such a unique culture- there is always something going on. The city is filled with fascinating people who understand the power of reciprocity, they genuinely see what they can do to help you, knowing that somewhere down the road they will find success 10-fold. Its all about networking and leveraging contacts to benefit everyone.

For instance, I didn't want to go out last night- at all. I met with Victoria to get some advice on starting up a boutqiue PR firm at Hudson. That turned into drinks at the Four Seasons with Roby and Carissa followed by a private dinner in the kitchen at Teatro Goldoni prepared for us by the fabulous Michael. (Absolute most amazing Lobster risotto ever!) From there we went to the Park, did a victory lap or two, headed to DC Coast where I made new friends with a dentist with the greatest name ever- Dr. Doctors and finally went to Ebong's birthday celebration at Tattoo... So much for not going out!

I love D.C. Its just a big town where everybody knows your name... I'm hooked!
