THE EVENT The Washington Ballet’s spicy party sells out quickly and
always gets over 700 young supporters to put on their dancing shoes. THE SCENE The evening was for high rollers and the Bentley out
front (courtesy of Capital Dream Cars) set the tone. The invitation
encouraged guests to come “dressed to kill,” and that certainly was
the case for co-chairs Winston Bao Lord (donning a white dinner
jacket) and Ashley Taylor (sparkling in a gold sequin Tory Burch
sheath). A er a performance from the ballet, groove band Liquid
Pleasure summoned people away from the black jack tables and
their Grey Goose cocktails to boogie. One over-zealous guest had
to be taken out on a stretcher a er a topple resulting in a broken
nose. THE GUESTS Septime Webre, Kay Kendall, Lacey Kirstein,
Joe Robert, Jr., and George Chopivsky.
