Svetlana Says:

Cale, there is a reason why quotation marks were used.
It was a “certain type of DC fashion people” kind of a party.
Nothing wrong with that, and a nice turn out but by no means all-encompassing.
Adrian, Ayo, Eric, Lexie, Morgan and I held the “hipster douchebag” fort down for us, so no worries.

Yeah, no kidding. Especially those two in the last three pics… you can totally tell they’re high on something.

Coke is awesome and douchbags provide a very necessary hygenic service.

What’s the problem?

BYT impersonates Washington Life for an evening. Love it! When was the last time that Tara De Nicolas, “K Street Kate” and Pam Sorensen made it onto this site? And even the obligatory Erwin Gomez shot! Holy Jesus Shit!

I think it’s a testament to the small-town-strange-bedfellows vibe of DC that this never degenerated into a Jets-vs-Sharks throwdown.

Again, love it.

Every time I spot Erwin at a party I pull my bangs a little closer over my eyebrows so he cannot judge the level of non-professional chaos going on above my eyes.

Lex Says:

aw thanks Fits–a shared fave.

DC Concierge Says:

I got to ask celebs about their fave places to eat (Andrea Mitchell hearts Cafe Milano!) and drink delish cocktails while gushing over cute outfits. Yes please!

Chris Says:

I’m referring to miss Lex, of course. Otherwise, gorgeous work, I’m super cereal.

Lex Says:

& i didnt even know that was erwin until walking down wisconsin this morning and spotting all of the framed 4×6 snaps of him & clients that dance along his shop window front. i was all, oh thats my boy! and then that was fleeting and instead i was all, depressed about how bad my strands looked that night/always.

Svet – right, I was just making a funny.

I wasn’t actually expecting to see Cole with his shirt off in the background of one of these pics.

Svetlana Says:

for the record-BYT continues its fashion bonanza tomorrow when we will be attending the Goodwill fashion gala at the French Embassy.
We won’t stop till we conquer. Or until I have nothing else to wear in public since all my outfits have been over-photographed.
So-look forward to more.

DC Goodwill Fashionista Says:

Oh good – I’m glad somebody knows the name of the players of the sport on the ice. I had no clue who they were, only that they were adorable and had on great-fitting suits.

Also, the gift bags were fantastic. And they contained the smallest size XL t-shirt known to man. -the DCGF
