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.
