Your Dose of DC Fashion News

If you all don't already have plans for this evening, I hope you'll join me at this party taking place this evening at The Park, since I owe at least a portion of my "maven" status to all of you. I believe you have to email Laura at the address listed to gain admittance (free).

My Sidewalk Style for this week is up - and it's the Corcoran's lovely Kristin Guiter, who I can now call a colleague as well as a friend. The photo was taken this Sunday after Perry's Drag Brunch, which is one of those things you simply have to experience at least once (the queens loved her Karta dress as much as I did.) I'm happy to announce that I've started to do some part-time media work at the Corcoran, and there are so many incredible fashion and art events coming up that I can't wait to tell you all about. I have to keep it under my hat at the moment, but expect to see more of Kristin's style published around town.
And speaking of fashion in Washington, I think it's pretty fair to say that we'll all be placing our bets on hometown girl Johanna when the Stylista premiere airs tomorrow night. If you ever spent even an hour with Johanna (of the blog A Serious Job is No Excuse...which is on lockdown at the moment because of the show), you know that she is completely and utterly meant for this. No one knows what the outcome will be just yet, but I personally can't imagine her NOT winning. Jo, we'll be rocking the tee and rooting for you!
Johanna and her friend Lesley also turned up in this year's Washingtonian Best-Dressed list, along with my friends Ayo, Adrian, and Omar. It feels like ages ago that I was featured - and had hair! I think you'll agree that they really upped the ante and did a great job on the list this go-round.
Meanwhile....Morgan over at pandahead just published issue #2 of her online magazine...I won a contest> for a photo NOT related to fashion....and now must leave you to decide what to wear tonight. My inspiration: the kitschy, not-so-politically-correct but so shamelessly fun I Enjoy Being a Girl. Because I do.

Oh Rachel… you have resurrected a scene from one of my most favorite movies from childhood. Who couldn’t love Nancy Kwan?? And the way she just sachayed around her bedroom adorned with the huge mirrors– any girls dream!!
Thanks for sharing!

When I was a wee thing-between the ages of 7 and 10, not only did I have “I Enjoy Being a Girl” on a well-worn cassette tape, but I memorized the lyrics and acted them out with Barbie dolls. True story.
Great post!
