I marvel at Michelle Obama's taste. Sure, her own dresses and jackets are fabulous. But the first lady's real feat is clothing herself and her daughters to perfectly compliment each other. Constantly. In basically every public appearance. Think how annoying that must be?
I've been noticing this for months. Whenever Michelle, Sasha and Malia step out [...]
I just got a call from a family member, who arrived at Gallery Place/Chinatown at 8 a.m., and never made it down to the Mall due to the water main break. She was headed to the entrance at 7th and D Streets. At first, walkers heard that the break was going to be repaired, and [...]
So I had the pleasure of spotting the back of Al Sharpton's head last night—unmistakable!—at The African American Church Inaugural Ball at the Grand Hyatt at 1000 H Street. The event was to honor twenty five "Keepers of the Flame," who have been influential in the fight for civil rights over the years. Among the [...]
Bobby Lentell and Colette Valery, happy to bike around in this god-awful-freezing weather.
Last Tuesday night, I saw a very odd sight while walking down 18th Street south of Adams Morgan. About ten of those modern day/all-weather rickshaws descended past me, all in a row, pedaling off into the night.
My god, I thought, they'll never find [...]
Not at Central last night around 8:30 p.m.
Michel Richard's Central probably needs no introduction at this point. The place was named one of the country' top new restaurants last year by the New York Times. The newspaper also listed D.C. among its top destinations for this year by citing its restaurant scene. And guess [...]
In its latest issue, U.S. Weekly has a report about what celebrities are scheduled attend various balls and events around town. Some of this information has already been reported on City Desk, but I think there are some new details in there.
At The Creative Coalitions Inaugural Ball on January 20 at the Harman Center for [...]
Tonight, I headed to the Billy Goat Tavern looking for rowdy Chicagoans. Billy Goat is the D.C. outpost of a famous Chicago dive chain. I thought it was a new spot in town, but I quickly learned otherwise: The place has been around for three and a half years.
When it came to rowdy Chicagoans, the [...]
For a brief moment in mid November, my roommates and I pondered renting out our house for the inauguration. A few half-hearted e-mails later, we dropped the subject and never posted anything on Craigslist. Good move. This morning, we encountered a terrible, totally unpredictable problem: Our pipes are frozen, and we have no water. Seems [...]
We never knew how it would end up. But we had hope, and we had dreams. Dreams of Mexican vacations. Dreams of finally landscaping our backyards. Dreams of, you know, just generally avoiding debt.
Fresh off Barack Obama's glorious win, we Washingtonians dared to advertise our homes for ridiculous sums for the inauguration. Some of our [...]
