Local newsbabes Andrea Roane (WUSA), Angie Goff (WUSA), Lindsay Czarniak (NBC4), Eun Yang (NBC 4) and Sue Palka (FOX5) and other media mavens turned out in droves to the Newsbabes for Breast Cancer Bash, held at the Ritz-Carlton, Georgetown. An army of pink flooded the gorgeous hotel, as media moguls rubbed elbows, while enjoying Cosmopolitans and pink-themed snacks. Guests snacked on chocolate basil truffles (trust me, as a chocolate lover, I was mildly insulted when I was told the ingredients of this concoction but they were truly delicious), as well as a cherry-flavored cotton candy.

Komen foundation, and the foundation founder, Nancy Brinker was in attendance, as well as D.C. First Lady, Michelle Fenty. For a $20 admission fee, partygoers got a Cosmo, unlimited cotton candy and were able to wear their brightest pink dress to a happy hour without fear of public scorn, all while donating to breast cancer research- I’d say that’s my kind of event.
