Known to many for her celebrity girl friend Lindsay Lohan and super producer brother Marc Ronson. This week she is lending her star power and amazing DJ skills to a red carpet event for an amazing cause. The Children Miracle Network and Patron and many others came together for this massive event.

On hand for the event was local DC socialies and trendsetters and many fans of Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan. The back vip section was backed with fans knowing that Lilo would make her way down the back VIP elevator to the DJ Booth. Becky Fund's Becky Lee and Miss 2006 DC Kate Michael partied in the VIP with the Washington Nationals mascot Teddy Roosevelt.

The buzz began early when Lilo and Ronson arrived in city via train from NYC. Paparaazzi was already in full effect once they departed the train.

The event was a huge success with the red carpet rolled out and backdrop ready for the event. After this event at Lotus Lounge DC, Samantha and Lilo were on their way to Baltimore where she had another DJ gig at Mosiac.

Even TMZ showed up for this event and filmed Lilo parting admist the barrier Lotus put up in the DJ Booth to shade Lindsay Lohan from the camera flashes.

Chef Alison Swope's Restaurant K Set to Close!

::Resturant Buzz::

Resturant K closed on June 23,2008.


Chef Alison Swope( Santa Fe East & Andale), whose Andale resturant closed in 2006, opened Resturant K on Monday September 17,2007 to rave reviews from foodies all over the metro area.

The Resturant K location that filled the prime location of the former Jimmy’s on K Street location at (1700 K St. NW). Owned by Portland, Ore.-based McCormick & Schmick’s, its executive chef was Alison Swope and its general manager was Jim McVeigh. The McCormick & Schmick’s group just opened a brand new McCormick & Schmick’s Harborside location in National Harbor just this past week making seven location under the umbrella in the region. Despite the balmy weather reports are that this past weekend the resturant was far from capacity even on its grand opening weekend.

According to a press release from the company “current economic conditions have led to the business decision to close this restaurant and reallocate its resources to our core McCormick & Schmick’s branded establishments … We deeply appreciate Alison’s skills and hard work and hope to incorporate her as part of our culinary development team going forward.”

We hope this isn't a sign for the flurry of new resturants and lounges that are set to open in the city in the coming months. Chef Alison Swope is scheduled to move into a role on the culinary team for the resturant group.
