Mint juleps, horses and hats.
It's that time of the year again -- time to sip cocktails in the great outdoors while rubbing shoulders with celebrities, international dignitaries and millionaires. It's time for the Virginia Gold Cup!
So, what's a girl (or guy) to wear?
Upcoming Events
Party with us because you’re not going to meet anyone new on your couch.
Gold Rush
Everyone Loves Angie
There are bloggers who people hate… it’s easy to hate bloggers. We speak what’s on our mind, we think people care about what we’re saying and we are obnoxious. By “we” I mean me.
But not angie goff. She is fabulous! By day she tells us which roads to avoid on news channel 9, by night she is a trendy, fun, outgoing networking maven who gets to do some really cool things. She blogs about all the fun parties around town and all the cool experiences she’s had. and she also has very pretty nails. Example A below….
No I don’t have a crush on angie… I’m writing this blog about her because she is hosting a party at tattoo tonight! it’s the one year anni party of her blog and there will def be a great crowd there (unlike last night when everyone put on their lame caps and sat at home like big pansies scared of a little ice).
After sugar and champagne drop your pooch off at home and join angie and the crew at tattoo. FB flyer here.
I will be lounging in tampa with my good friends Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger.
I’m going to the superbowl bitches!!!
Tuesday is the New Saturday
Weekends are so five minutes ago. Every amateur on the block can find a party on Saturday night, but only the cool kids know where to get free champi and dance to 80s on Tuesday nights.
I will be hosting the new Tuesday nights at tattoo with my good friends Katherine and Reese! Tuesday will now be my biggest night out every week. Not only because it’s lady’s night and I can drink enough champi to get a small village drunk for free or because tattoo is still my fave place to dance in dc, but because it’s my night bitches. My name is on the flyer and therefore I get to do whatev I want. Its my party and I’ll dance on tables if I want to. Think Starboard on a Saturday morning. Reference below:
The good part about going out Tuesday night for you (other than joining me while I have a blast) is that when you go to work tired, looking like crap on Wednesday morning, it wouldn’t even occur to your boss that you are hungover because… who goes out on Tuesday? He/she will most likely ask if you’re feeling well and maybe even send you home to get some very deserved rest. On the other hand, stroll in late on Friday morning with a bag of mickey d’s breakfast in your hand and you’re caught. Everyone and their mother will know you pulled a bender, took a chick home from the bar and kicked her out at 6am right before you threw up in the shower. Smooth move romeo.
Anyway you look at it, Tuesday is the way to go. I totally support hitting the luke’s wing fundraiser at midtown, but come to tattoo afterwards for champi shots. See flyer (with my name on it) here.
Tuesday Boozeday Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
someone is going to kill me for posting this pic... but it was taken during a debacle of a day/night that involved many bottles of champi and it seems appropriate for this post.

ICE LUGE SATURDAYS?!
What’s big, cold, wet and gives you a tingly warm feeling in your belly?
ICE LUGES!!!
Yes, I said it… ice luges are back in. there’s nothing better than bending over and putting your face up to a massive block of ice, opening your mouth and filling your tummy with icy cold goodness. Yes, my friends, the ice luge has returned.
We all remember this trusty block of ice from college, the penis shaped block from your bestie’s bachelorette party and the ice sculpture of your company logo that you tried to turn into a luge at your last holiday party. I’m willing to bet that if there was an ice luge present, you had a great time.
So join us this Saturday to kick off ice luge Saturdays at midtown! Free cover for girls all night. guys, get there before 11pm for free. rsvp @ fb.
If nothing else, when you get hot from dancing you can rub your face on the ice to cool off.
inaug heads
this will be the greatest and worst weekend of our lives. it’s going to be an absolute shit show around here. I kept hearing warnings all day about avoiding metro and the beltway and the bridges and the mall… basically you’re only option is to walk or segway around town and I wouldn’t be caught dead on a segway unless I was wasted and stole it from a cop. which I’ve done. twice.
the silver lining in all of this is that all of the michael romeo bars will be open until 4am all weekend! dc keeps getting cooler and cooler. Most nights the lights come on in the bar and the bouncer starts giving me the “why are you ignoring my attempts to kick you out” stare long before I’m ready to leave. so this is perf!
obvi I’ll be starting off the weekend at tattoo on thursday night. nothing beats tattoo on a thursday night. that’s probably the 10th time I’ve said that on my blog. I don’t even like tattoos on guys but I do loooooove the bar.
so my take on this weekend including thursday night is that tables will be mandatory. there are a few times each year when standing in line with the commoners is unacceptable (i.e. new years, your birthday, most saturday nights, etc). once again, this weekend will be a shit show. obvi you don’t have to have a table to get in, but it will make life much much easier.
when the hell is a club going to create a table with it’s own vip bathroom? i’m all about that.
Why I Love Sabrina's Birthday at Midtown
Let me count the ways:
10. Saturday nights at Midtown are the best
9. They let in an even ratio of guys to girls meaning everyone has a chance to get some
8. All the inaugural tourists won’t be in town yet
7. I’m excited to meet Sabrina, she looks cute on the flyer
6. Reese Gardner is hosting the party, he’s a hottie and he knows how to throw down
5. Tables are still available: rsvp@midtown-dc.com
4. it’s Midtown - ‘nuff said
3. DJ Spaz spinning Old School Hip hop, Top 40 Mash Ups and Sabrina's favorite dance tunes
2. Ladies get in free
And most importantly of all…
1. $60 bottles of Moet Champi ALL NIGHT!!!!
Saturday, January 10th – be there.
Puke N Rally
So you’re struggling from the party at Tattoo last night… i feel your pain and I’m right there with you. What an awesome crowd. And those pink banger-something or another drinks: so tasty and strong. Whenever Cap File hosts the party it’s a sophisticated (until 3 drink o’clock), good looking crowd, which it was. I of course, was a hot mess by the end of the night (Christmas trees much) and put myself to bed at a reasonable hour for a Thursday night unlike those who marched on until 3:30am like rockstars. You know who you are and I'm very proud.
The point is that it is now time to puke and rally. Pull yourself together, get some fast food, burn one down, pop some pills… do whatev you need to do to get back in the game tonight because Noel Sanger will be at Lotus. You’re asking yourself, “Who the F is Noel Sanger?” I was wondering the same thing. But he is actually like, the king of the rave scene… Like Miley Cyrus to pop or Jenna Jameson to porn or Chuck Bass to Gossip Girl… like raving couldn’t exist without this guy evidently.
So if you’re new to electronic music, this is the night to check it out.
You can read a novel about him on the FB page for the event and even check out his creepy, “I’m a Really Big Weirdo and Shouldn’t Put My Picture on Things” picture. Or if you really don’t care about this lengthy, detailed biography which is just short of telling us this dudes shoe size and dental history, just go to Lotus tonight and listen to him. It will bring out a big crowd and should be really fun.
Game faces people. The rain stopped so you won’t even melt.
Furry Friday
This Friday, put on your boots with the fur (obvi fake, no one does real fur anymore), and head to Midtown for the Washington Humane Society fundraiser. You’ll get a free shot for every blanket or pillow that you bring. It will be great to see who pulls up in a car full of pillows hoping to get a whole bottle for free (i.e. that’s what I’m planning on doing).
I love that Midtown is doing this party. The Humane Society is near and dear to my heart. I love dogs and it’s so amazing that the Washington Humane Society provides for over 20,000 animals per year. I’ve actually started volunteering at the MC humane society – and you thought i was so totally selfish!
Tattoo Anni Party
Tattoo has been open a year?! I was shocked too. It feels like this 80’s haven just opened yesterday. I also sometimes still feel like a 16 year old dancing queen… I guess time really does fly.
As most of you know, Tattoo is my fave bar in DC and I’m proud to say that they are almost as obsessed with birthdays as I am… i.e. they are throwing a huge birthday bash with Capitol File Mag and Belvedere on Thursday, December 11.
From 7-9pm you will only get in if you know someone. They are hosting an ultra VIP reception with a super strict guest list and gift bags from Urban Chic and Metromix. You have a little more than a week to weasel your way onto the list… get on it. Beginning at 9pm they will open the door to the guest list and bottle service only. Email rsvp@tattoobardc.com
Birthdays are really important and should not be ignored. I once dated a guy who ignored my birthday so I promptly gave him the boot. Note to self: Cake, tiaras, shots and off-key singing are mandatory for birthdays no matter how old you are.
In honor of the Britney CD dropping this week, you should probably leave your panties at home.
Open Bar Rules
Ladies... open bar from midnight until close tonight and every other tuesday at tattoo. obsessed.
