Like, when is LC coming to DC?!?!

|
lc_book.jpgSo, we were all set to go hang with Lauren Conrad at her book signing at the Borders in Fairfax when - KERPLUNK! The big snow happened. Roads shut down, shopping malls closed and LC from the OC was stuck in NYC...

....As a result our interview got cancelled! :(

But the good news is that I called Lauren's peeps and got them to hook up DC 50 with 5 autographed copies of her new book, "Sweet Little Lies"! So enter to win a FREE copy of the book (which, BTW, I read cover to cover during all those snow days!)

 And stay tuned.... we are still trying book the interview! --M

Pink Fashion Rocks(ed)!!!!
The show was stunning! PINK JAMS! partnered with the Greater Washington Fashion Chamber of Commerce to bring us  all this beautiful pink  fashion show to promote breast cancer research. Betsey Johnson (who couldn't be there in person but sent those in attendance a  wonderful message on  video) headlined  the runway. All of Betsey's artwork was  on display as well. 14 DC designers auctioned off their signature pink pieces to benefit the show, donating 100% of the proceeds. The Charm City Devils  who won the iTunes' 2009 Rewind Best New Rock Band (and just finished touring with Motely Crue), played  live during the runway show. Angie Goff did an amazing job emceeing the event.  And don't worry TTS will be bringing you lots of video of all the fashions and interviews. So check back with us on our blog.

betsey_johnson_pinkdress.jpgTTS just LOVES Betsey Johnson -- she's got style, she's got spunk and she's got love for DC! The New York-based designer known for her funky dresses and signature cart wheels on the catwalk will be showcasing a special selection of pink pieces Wednesday night at the Pink Fashion Rocks charity fashion event (which benefits Pink Jams!, Avon Walk for Breast Cancer and the DC Fashion Foundation).

Designs start floating down the 90-foot runway at 7 pm and TTS will be there... will you? 

xoxo,

P.S. -- This event is sponsored - in part - by Ted Gibson, you know, the guy who did Kate Gosselin's hair extensions. Wonder if he can hook a sister up?!?! Stay tuned for pics and video of me and Vanessa from the event!!!


Matthew Lesko A.K.A. The Question Mark Guy

We just finished interviewing Matthew Lesko at the studios and there is no question about it -- there is NEVER a dull moment with this guy. Yeah you know him from those infomercials  standing in front of the Capitol  telling you to get all the  FREE money you deserve from Uncle Sam. Today he wore his red question mark suit.  I have never had so much fun during an interview. In fact, I literally had my shoe  taken off at the begining of the interview! (we talked all about shoes and fashion too, turns out Matthew is quite the clothes horse) Watch some behind the scenes footage with this guru of government handouts. And don't forget to enter the contest for the chance  to win one of Matthew's Governement Money Club dvd's!!

                                                MATTHEW LESKO?

Yeah you know  that crazy infomercial guy you've seen on TV. It was so much fun chatting with him and you would actually be surprised at some of his advice that he gave us. So sit back take a seat and enjoy some of the crazy photos and watch our behind the scenes footage with the the guru of government handouts.

We asked Matthew about THIS youtube vid with on- air personality Sara from Hot 99.5 and check out THIS vid of comedian Andy Dick spoofing Matthew as well. He said he loves the attention and only wishes he received it thirty years ago when his career started. Say what you will about the question mark guy-- but he is unquestionably an entertaining character =) 

425.ad.JerseyShore.120909.jpgHopefully the snow will have melted by the time Pauly D takes to the 1s and 2s this Saturday night at The Ugly Mug in Southeast. He's headlining the free Jersey Shore Valentine's Day party there on February 13... but someone who will be noticeably absent from the par-tay is his GTL (gym, tan and laundry) partner in crime The Situation.... word on the net is that Mike's in Hollywood looking for a pad for the duo.
