6th Annual Blue Jeans Ball

The 6th Annual Blue Jeans Ball is being held Sunday, April 5th, at the Washington Convention Center.

The Blue Jeans Ball is one of Washington's most exciting and unique annual charitable events. It is Capital Area Food Bank's largest special event fundraiser that strives to raise awareness and dollars in the struggle to end hunger.

Ranked as one of Washington's Top 100 Events by Biz Bash, the evening will consist of a moving feast with fine cuisine provided by the region's top chefs, entertainment by Posh Band, and live and silent auctions offering incredible treasures.

I have been asked to attend as a "Guest Chef" and I will be partnered with one of the wonderful local restaurants to assist them with their demonstration. Grab your best jeans, and join me on Sunday to support a great cause!

Tickets are still available!

Your backstage pass to Fashion for Paws 2009

The Washington Humane Society really knows how to throw a party! This year’s Fashion for Paws was held at the Italian Embassy and through the hard work of the WHS staff, fundraising models (through direct donations and ticket sales) and sponsors raised over $240,000.

I arrived at 6pm to start preparing for the festivities. I was immediately greeted by WHS volunteers who offered to help me with my Maltese, Lacy. Want to read more....check out the rest of the article on the Examiner.com

You can vote for Lacy as cutest pet on the runway here!

Meet Howie!

Howie is a super adorable 3y.o. Hound mix who was found wandering in the Carter Barron Morrow Drive area. Howie is a super social little guy who LOVES touch and loves to put his paws on you. Tolerant and friendly with people and a little shy with other dogs, Howie will benefit from additional socialization and confidence-building in his new forever home. He'd also do best in a home without any kitties. Like most Beagles, he does know how to howl and because of this is likely not the ideal pup for apartment dwellers! Howie is full grown at about 45lbs....
