Clarendon Moms: Recap of Calling All My Girls Tour/DC Stop

Calling All My Girls rolled into DC last Tuesday, August 6, 2013! It was a kick ass tourBethenny Frankel went on to promote her new television show, Bethenny.

Having fallen in love with Bethenny on Real Housewives of New York, she has become one of the most inspiring celebrities I’ve ever wanted to meet. And I finally had my chance!

Thanks to Laura Harders of Beltway Bargain Mom, I was invited to this exclusive party, held at the W Hotel Rooftop.

Upon arriving, we were given the cutest bracelets and a complimentary glass of champagne. The music was bumping with mostly hip 80s music classics like Michael Jackson fused with today’s hottest musicians like Macklemore, Bruno Mars and Robin Thicke. As usual, I was the “only fool dancing” the entire night!

Not ashamed to admit that on my occasional “Mom’s Night Out”, I tend to enjoy a cocktail or two and if it’s really a good night, okay you get my drift. Skinny Girl Margaritas, Skinny Girl Mojitos and Brut Champagne flowed non-stop along with some very tasty tuna steak, sushi and quiche.

After an hour or so, Bethenny arrived in a beautiful skin tight electric blue dress looking gorgeous! Her energy was electrifying! She seemed happy and full of life! She really knows how to pump up a room and treat her audience and her fans to a very good time!

Bethenny began the event with a game called “Would you ever…” The most “shocking question” came from a young girl in the audience. “Have you ever had a threesome?”  A hush and a few giggles came over the audience. Bethenny quickly answered “No” and joked that she missed her opportunity now that’s she’s a mom. She winked and said “But, the night is still young”. It doesn’t take long for Bethenny to figure out people. This was especially true for the conservative audience that she had here in Washington DC last Tuesday night. Bethennykept the jokes going and peppered in the word “threesome” throughout the night, which matched the mood of her audience: light, funny and playful—just like her new show.

Meeting Bethenny really was one of my dreams come true! She is intelligent, witty, warm, sweet, beautiful, exhilarating and her energy and spirit is infectious! Her down to earth, tell it like it is, too much information reputation is what it is. Her critiques can shut it, because the original skinny girl gave this mommy wings! Let’s NOT forget that Bethenny is a four-time New York Times BEST selling author, the creator of Skinnygirl brand which includes cocktails, health food bars, sweeteners, fitness DVDs and fashionable shapewear. She has also been named one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Celebrities by Forbes Magazine! And I felt so inspired in her presence and felt like I could achieve anything after meeting her! I can only imagine the ways she’ll inspire others once her show hits the air next month! Bethenny also has a new book out titled “Skinnygirl Solutions”, a must read for all of her fans!

Bethenny’s new show “Bethenny” airs in the Washington DC area beginning Monday, September 9th on FOX at 11 AM. Check your local listings. For more information, go to:www.bethenny.com.For information on events such as this and more, check out www.clarendonmoms.com
