The Q+DD just COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED about COLOR WAR PUB CRAWL (JUNE 8th) in the VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS!

Lemme back up a minute – the Camp Twin Lakes young professionals group has re-branded itself as “Y’ALL” (Young Adult Leadership League)

Cute, right?

Along with this new moniker, we’ve picked up SEVERAL new committee members (if you’d like to be involved, just email me!) and have dreamed up TWO new events for this year!

The first is Saturday, June 8 in the Highlands!

Since CTL provides life-changing camping experiences for children with disabilities, chronic or fatal illnesses, and other life challenges – we thought back to OUR camp days and decided that we’d pay homage to the great equalizer – COLOR WAR.

So we’re asking YOU to choose a color: Blue, Orange, White, or Yellow and come trot around the Highlands with us!

Lindsay and I are on Team Blue (otherwise known as Honey Blue Boo…thanks Kev…) or the Varsity Blues:

But you could also choose to be on Mellow Yellow:

Or Revenge of the White:

or, my personal favorite, Preppy Orange (you know how I feel about all things Preppy)

Sidebar: HUGE kudos to our buddy Randi for the amazing artwork on the posters!

In all seriousness, it doesn’t matter WHAT team you join, as long as you sign up and come have fun for a great cause with us!  Tickets are only $15 in advance and include drink & shot specials and a CTL Color War Koozie!  Get yours HERE! 

Registration will be open from 2:00-5:00 PM at Diesel Filling Station. Other participating bars include Atkins Park, Limerick Junction, Dark Horse Tavern and Neighbor’s Pub. 

Heads up: Save the date for CAMP FEST at Sweetwater 08/24 and let me know if you’d like to be involved!

See you in the Highlands for day-drinking and do-gooding!

The Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation (“AVLF”) Junior Board invites YOU to the first annual Burger Battle & Beer Tasting!

I don’t know about you…but if there’s two things I want to taste, it’s definitely Burgers and Beer.

Here’s the Q+DD: It’s a joint party being hosted by AVLF and Atlanta Legal Aid on the rooftop patio of Nelson Mullins law firm in Midtown on Thursday, June 6^th from 5:30 – 9pm and will feature a burger battle between two top Atlanta chefs….

Repping AVLF is Kevin Gillespie (Top Chef, Woodfire Grill, Gunshow) and in Atlanta Legal Aid’s corner is the team from Farm Burger!  The event will also feature a Beer Tasting, as a younger spin-off of AVLF’s annual Winetasting event that annually draws over 1,000 attorneys.   United Distributors will be generously providing the craft beer for the event.

FYI, ladies and people seeking free legal advice on the fly – they’re expecting a crowd of at least 350 attorneys.

(Note: it’s not a costume party, Elle.)

So, the Met Ball 2013′s theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture” and though Joan Rivers I am not…

(I love you, Fashion Police.)

I have 5 “must see looks” that I want to discuss.

1. I don’t care what anyone says - I love her and I love this and I wish I got to wear it. From the crazy feather headdress to the plaid knee high boots. Want.

SJP FTW

2.  I die. Heids is perfection.

Just yes.

3.  We get it, Anne. You’re soooooooo edgy.  (and I really do love it.)

I dig it, Anne.

3. Elizabeth Banks looks like a gilded villain from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

EBanks. Did you forget pants?

B- stole my look!

4. From the “Pancho” Collection, we have Ashley Olsen…

…and Lily Cole

5. and I might give a straight up “WHAT is That” to Kristen Stewart.
