A Modern Machiavelli: The Princess

3

Anyone who knows me, knows that my favorite book of all time is Machiavelli’s The Prince. This work of art has been my how to guide for every aspect of life since the 6th grade. Where some might insert a “WWJD” I often instead think to myself HWMM….How Would Machiavelli Manipulate?? The Prince has helped […]

Hidden Gem: The Homeless

Homeless

If you’ve grown up in D.C. or lived in the city, you’ve probably grown accustomed to seeing the many homeless people who live out on the streets. The sad fact is they are all over our town: under overpasses, hidden beneath blankets, shouting nonsense on the buses. Shaking your head “no” at a homeless person […]

Boy Abroad: The Homestay

Homestay

Back for more, eh? Well, I’m all moved into my new place—aka my homestay. Definitely my last resort but it’s not so bad. I do get my own room and all and the family doesn’t even speak English so guess it’ll be great for my French too. It’s hard to go from being completely independent to […]

Erwin Gomez: The Rise & The Fall of a D.C. Socialite

Erwin Gomez & Eva Longoria

Erwin Gomez. For years, we’d  heard the rumors. Seasoned Washingtonians would caution: stay away, where Erwin goes, trouble follows. It was almost as if some were waiting for his fall from grace. Personally, Gomez was always nice, but certainly reserved. Almost plastic. He had eccentricities, but that was what made him electric. On a typical weekend you could find him and members of his salon […]

Eating Out This Thanksgiving? Try One of These Area Restaurants

Blue Duck Tavern

Let’s face it, slaving over a hot stove can be a pain in bumsies. Sometimes, it’s just easier to get the fam in the car and head out to eat. Unfortunately, a lot of area restaurants shut down on Thanksgiving and your left eating a cold double cheeseburger in the McD’s parking lot. Luckily our friends at Zagat have put together a list […]

Must Have Thanksgiving Apps

Epicurious Recipes

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, thus bringing with it the holiday rush of anticipation and family gatherings.  As stressful as this might be, it also means succulent turkey in the oven, post-dinner hibernation, and a slew of relatives you haven’t seen, or perhaps don’t want to see, buzzing over the latest conversation and gorging over […]

Kit’s Kitchen: Friendsgiving

Kit Thanksgiving

It’s the first time you’re on your own for Thanksgiving, eh? Maybe you couldn’t afford the plane ticket home, or you had a big blowout with your folks after you came out to them or maybe your family just left you. Don’t fret babe. Even if you can’t have some of Nonnie’s famous sweet potato […]

Drink Up! It’s All For A Cause

Belvedere Red

We’ll do anything to give back. Well… really we’ll do anything to make ourselves feel good about drinking. So when we heard that Belvedere created a special edition of their vodka, with 50% of profits going to charity, we were on board! From now until the end of the year, 50% of profits made on […]

Holiday Wines

kathie1510

Being a 20-something is all about learning new things.  Learning to experiment with your sexuality, your interests, and your wines.  For many of us post-grads, college was all about beer and cheap vodka.  But let’s face it – you’re a grown woman now!  If you are still drinking Miller Lite and Pinnacle voda, we have […]
