I had the pleasure of attending and taking pictures at a birthday extravaganza for four ladies at The Donovan House Hotel. I had already known birthday ladies Courtney, Jaclyn, and Stefanie from other events, and I was glad to meet Jess too. This was my second time partying at the rooftop of this hotel. There was a great vibe at this party in celebrating birthdays and the view and pool helped set the ambiance. Everyone was dressed rather well, indicative of the fashion conscious invitees. Drinks were plentiful and conversations flowed into the night. Tunes were spun by Seyhan and even being outdoors by the pool, there were still several people moved to dancing. I stayed at the party till it closed and the birthday ladies left the building, then continued partying at L2. It was a full night and very enjoyable, most of all in celebrating the "fabulous four."
August 14 - Glamazon Diaries Two Year Anniversary Party
I had seen Makeda Saggau-Sackey at various events and found out just how passionate she is about fashion. She started her Glamazon Diaries blog two years ago and so a two year anniversary celebration was on at Spot Lounge in DC's Dupont Circle. The red carpet was laid out for this event. This was my first time at Spot, but I had read about it in an article in this event's invitation. The venue is within a hub of lounges and bars in a lively area and inside Spot Lounge there is a blue hue glow lighting most of the space. Images of fashion, painted grids, and silhouetted partying imagery make an interesting backdrop along the walls. The location was befitting of the occasion and the crowd and everyone was so apt to celebrate and have their picture taken, and I had a lot of fun chatting with the attendees and taking their pictures.
There was an open bar sponsored by Peroni and for a time wine was provided from Virginia's newest winery, Paradise Springs. Bottled water was on hand by Glaceau SmartWater. Petals for the People is a new floral subscription service in DC and they provided some arranged flowers on the tables. Washington-based printing service Automated Graphic Imaging created the promotional materials. The attire for this party was cocktail chic, so people were encouraged to dress like a glamazon, and there were some prizes awarded to a few people whom were thought to have brought their fashion game on. I was glad to see people I knew there and also meet so many new people. Congratulations to Makeda and her two years and counting Glamazon Diaries blog. Fashion is definitely an in thing in the DC area and the likes of Makeda have helped to make it known.
