Luxe Life: Do the Flash Mob

You've seen them on Oprah, but have you ever DONE one? Flash Mob dancing is the nation's latest craze, and it's coming to DC, thanks to Dance Metro DC's "Dance is the Answer" campaign.

As part of National Dance Week (ending May 2), the group will stage Flash Mob performances based on steps from the musical Mamma Mia and you're invited to join. The two performances will take place on May 2 – 1:00 p.m. at Dupont Circle in DC and at 3:00 p.m. at Ballston Common Mall in Arlington, VA.


Want to know more? Here’s how it works: A choreographer creates a sequence of movements and demonstrates them in a video online. They also teach it live in pre-scheduled group rehearsals. Through digital networking, teaching the dance to others live, and spreading the word among friends by every means possible, the public makes sure the dance lives and thrives! As the actual live performance dates come near, the times will be posted at www.danceistheanswer.org and tweeted/Facebooked, along with a geographic location. Dancers show up, and it’s a Mob of synchronicity, choreography and fun.

Now, get to work! It's time to get your practice on:

Jetset: We're Off to Switzerland

Please pardon the radio silence this week. We've pre-set some great events and posts so you don't miss any of your Deacon adventures, but we won't be moderating comments or very quick on the new event postings, as we'll be in .... GENEVA for the week!

We'll likely be tweeting, however, so check us out over on @DeaconDoesDC!

Currently Coveting: White Hot

There's just something about warm weather that makes us want to take off our usual wardrobe of black, black, and a touch of grey and bring on the color, or, more specifically, the lack of.

It's white that's caught our eye this seasons, and we've been trying desperately to find the perfect outfit. The problem is, this lovely neutral is often see-thru ...and we'd prefer our Hanky Pankys not be on display for the whole world to see.

That said, we've found a few faves in our travels and wanted to share them with you... if you have a white hot hit, leave the link in comments below!!

Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Grace" dress. Always a classic, Ralph Lauren makes simple seem sophisticated. Plus, the price is right at $130.












Adrianna Papell Floral Applique dress. Lightweight and breezy, the floral and sheer detailings make this dress perfect for a summer night out. Plus, at $118, the price is far lower than other similar dresses we've seen.


















Halston Heritage White Jersey Dress. Love, love love it - and not just because it's worn by Carrie Bradshaw in the promo for the new SATC movie, either. This is a wearable dress for work, play, or anywhere in-between, depending on the jewelery and shoes. Plus, at $325, it's relatively affordable for the designer label.















Bailey 44 Tiered Tank Dress. Love this dress (although perhaps more in other colors) because it's super wearable - pair with heels for night or flip flops and a denim jacket for a day of shopping. $192.
















Badgley Mischka Platinum Label. Love the beading on the neckline of this flirty summer dress. $695.


















Ali Ro Silk Blouson Dress. For a step towards the more formal, this dress is sexy yet simple. Plus, the blouson draping is very figure-flattering. $265.

















Notte by Marchesa ruffle bust gown. If a wedding were in our future, we'd hurry and order this amazing gown - it's not technically a wedding dress, but it's white and long and a fraction of the cost of what a real wedding dress should be. Love it. $1,155.

You're Invited: White House Pet Correspondent's Benefit

You may not have scored tickets to the coveted "prom" aka the White House Correspondent's dinner, but you can still enjoy an evening out with the area's most famous pooches at the Pet Correspondent's Benefit on April 28th, hosted by Animal Planet personality Wendy Diamond and her canine companion, Lucky.

Deacon Exclusive: Young Adult Sneak Peek

Deacon recently had the exclusive chance to chat with Young Adult mastermind J.W. Crump. We sneak some insider details from this budding actor/director/writer nearly a before the pilot of his show airs.

What is it, you ask? Young Adult is a glimpse into the life of 20-something DC male friends who meet weekly at a local trivia night to catch up and share details about their lives. It's a uniquely DC-centric show, and one, Crump says, that focuses on an area so many other sitcoms ignore - the male friendship.

Want to see it for yourself? Check out YouTube for exclusive clips, Stay tuned: a screening will be held April 28th at E Street Cinema.

Enjoy the Q&A, below.

Give a brief overview of what we can expect from the pilot of Young Adult.
I really wanted to create a show that encapsulates the years right after college but before relationships and careers get solidified. In the pilot, you'll meet five DC guys who are all just starting their careers, relationships, and living situations for the first time. Hopefully, you'll also laugh your face off.

Why trivia night? Is DC a trivia heavy town?
Trivia Night was where I met a lot of my first good friends in DC, so it's personal on one level. DC contains a lot of intelligent--but fun--young people, and I think bars host various trivia nights to attract that market. There's something special about being the only one in your group of friends who knows the first female X-Men.

What can we compare your show to (others on TV)?
I think in terms of general plot, you can compare it to TBS's My Boys: drop the female lead and sports analogies, set it in DC, and de-age everyone by about ten years. Stylistically, we have nods to Scrubs, Life As We Know It, and Community. We also have some stuff that I think is completely new and original, which I hope sets us apart.

What’s the funniest thing that happened on set?
At some point during the third shoot day, we all broke out into Journey's Don't Stop Believing. We didn't capture that on camera, but there is a behind-the-scenes video that includes our rendition of Part of Your World.
(starts about 3:20)

What’s the most “DC” location you shot at?
The Argonaut on H St. NE was a wonderful location, which hosts its own Trivia Night on Wednesdays. We also filmed in front of the National Zoo, which made for a beautiful background.

Can you share a secret about the show that nobody else knows?
With the exception of Nick, not a single member of the main cast is over 6' tall. Most of the time, we're also not wearing shoes while on camera. We look incredibly short all together in real life, but not on camera!

Who’s going to be the “hunk” of the cast, and why?
There's this one dude named J. W. who'll be dropping panties left and right...just kidding. I've been told that I put together an incredibly attractive cast by a few people, and there's a great degree of diversity. Our main cast includes an African-American, Asian-American, two Jewish-Americans, and three Caucasians of every hair color. Another featured actor in the pilot (Roberto Carmona) grew up in Venezula. What I'm saying is: there's something for everyone to fawn over. Though if anyone likes the brown-haired Caucasian, I'm available!

Did everyone get along, or was their drama? Dish!
Like I said, I appreciated the degree of comradarie we had on set. My Co-Executive Producer Ishu Krishna jokes with me that we agree 90% of the time, agree but don't realize it 5% of the time, and disagree the other 5%. That last 5% is usually about something minor like a sound effect.

Several of the cast/crew emailed me as production wrapped and told me what a pleasure it was to work on the show. Being that this is a my first project as Producer, I couldn't ask for anything more gratifying.

What's next for Young Adult?
Besides thanking my favorite blogger for this interview? We're about a month away from total completion and will have a screening in the DC area in late April. After that, we start the journey of submitting the project to various film fests, studios, and networks. I think we have a terrific product, and I want to make sure that the people involved get the attention they deserve.

Luxe Life: Wedding Wear

Deacon's had a lot of weddings this season and even more questions about what friends should wear. We're all about offering suggestions (the Calpyso Julia Wrap is our go-to) but we sported this awesome Lily Pulitzer look last weekend and wanted to share it with the crowd. What are your thoughts? We paired with slicked-back, simple hair and sparkly gold bangles.

Our friends at 5WPR are sponsoring a prom makeover worth $2,000. This is a great chance for someone less fortunate to enjoy that princess moment of their dreams.

To enter, e-mail kymaro@5wpr.com. The deadline is April 28th.

Deacon Guest Post: Belle Romps Through The Brad Johns Studio Opening in NYC

While Deacon does DC, Belle romps around in NYC. It must be her Parisian nature, but this Great Pyrenees like to play it cool and aloof. Her innate love of chic hip places, landed her in the Brad Johns Studio during the opening reception. The interior is sassy, narrow, and mirrored --- allowing 360 views of everything from everywhere. With a sleek black and silver color scheme it has the feel of a midtown bar, as much as a color salon.

Brad Johns is the king of color and his fleet of stylists are more than skilled in the art of color consultations. This new studio is devoted simply to color and for what Belle could gather, the blonder the better. Situated on the seventh floor, its a fun escape from the city and a perfect spot for going lighter, going darker or going wild.

Luxe Life: Facials at Studio Organics

Yesterday afternoon, Deacon was in for a real treat. We received a last-minute phone call from our friend Skincando that there was an opening for a facial at Vienna spa Studio Organics and, if we had the time, would we want to try this all-natural spa for an 80-minute facial?

We hopped in the car faster than you can say "heck yes," and headed out on I-66 in the rain, eager to enjoy a much needed spring cleaning on our pores. The spa wasn't what we expected, but in a good way - there was ample parking (a rarity), and the small two-level building didn't look as if it would house anything near as luxurious as we found when we opened the door.

A chic, almost garden-like boutique packed with eco-friendly, natural and organic skin and makeup products awaited our perusal (see tomorrow's JuliB for some of our fave picks). After filling out a brief survey, we were escorted back past a small relaxation area, complete with candles, magazines, and a comfy chair, and in to the main facial room. The puffy white treatment bed was draped with a chic comforter, and sheer drapings on the ceiling lent almost a boudoir atmosphere.

The small touches were done right - a stool had been placed just-so so that we didn't have to hoist ourselves onto the bed, the towel wrap was warming on a vent, and a clean hairbrush waited in front of the mirror with a small container of salt spray so we could fix ourselves up post-treatment.

Pilar, the Studio's owner and lead esthetician, gave us time to change and then came in to discuss our treatment. Each of the Studio's 80-minute sessions allow two hours of time and involve completely custom routines. Pilar estimates that in 15 years and 30,000-plus facials, she's never done the same routine twice. Our skin needed a thorough unclogging and treatment for redness, so she blended a number of products, including a dried seaweed that she re-hydrated for an excellent cooling mask.

Between steps, Pilar softly explained the process, and we particularly liked the pause between treatment steps, during which we enjoyed gentle massage. This, she said, allowed time for the treatments to sink into our skin, and if any irritation were to occur, she'd know exactly what caused it. Personally, it prevented us from feeling like a slap n' go facial counter, allowing for a more relaxing treatment.

Even after a significant number of extractions, we still felt relaxed, thanks to the comfortable bed and soothing music. But wait - we weren't done yet - Pilar adds brow shaping on to each treatment upon request, and we enjoyed a wax before the final mask. We'd never had this done during a facial, and since our skin often gets red during the waxing process, we loved having this done pre-cooling mask. Plus, you know your skin will remain clean, as you're in the hands of a professional rather than a suspect nail studio.

While the mask was setting, we dozed to the soothing music and enjoyed a hot stone neck and shoulder massage, waking only as Pilar used warm towels to remove the mask. Our skin, despite a few red spots from our own healing imperfections, looked clean and glowing. The next morning, our skin looked brighter, better hydrated, and more even in tone.

We'll be making this indulgence part of our quarterly routine - and suggest you do to. Online bookings have just re-opened and Pilar's newest technician is taking new clients.

*The facial may have been free, but our reviews are strictly editorial. There is no pay for play on Deacon Does DC

Mark Your Calendars: Volunteer for Earth Day on the National Mall

Luxe Life: Celeb Fitness with Mark Jenkins

This past Saturday, Deacon subjected his paws to a unique brand of torture - an 80 minute workout class at the Mandarin Oriental hotel led by none other than trainer to the stars Mark Jenkins. Specializing in "transformational" training, the self-described former "fat kid" began his workout career while in the Navy, helping underperforming soldiers amp up their fitness routines to pass PT tests.

Post Navy, while living in NYC, Jenkins began training record executives, and, not to be outdone, their celebrity clientele. Since then, he's had the pleasure of working with names like Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J and Sean Combs.

He's also passionate about fighting childhood obesity, and has been recently written up in outlets including The Washington Post for his efforts.

We felt a bit out of our element (after all, we're in shape, but not THAT kind of shape) but found the class to be challenging yet not overwhelming. That said, we later found that he went "easy" on the group of media types, in hopes that we'd return for a follow-up session.

Still, we loved the workout, which blended traditional boot camp-like experiences (squats, kickboxing, ect.) with jump roping, chair moves and even work with a "blade," a piece of fitness equipment once used to help recovering patients in wheelchairs regain body strength.

If you're interested in experiencing Mark's unique brand of torture for yourself, you can meet him at one of his upcoming events.

If you're really looking for a laugh - see us in the video, below:

Luxe Life: The Undie Awards

Are you passionate about your panties? Deacon's a picky puppy, so we've developed quite a brand loyalty over the years. (He prefers tee shirts, especially those from Old Navy, if you must know.)

That said, Deacon's blog author is a bit more traditional in her preferences. Vote with us in the annual "Undie Awards," an online celebration of all that keeps us looking perky and panty-line free. Now through April 30th, log in, choose your body type (it's a fun exercise) and pick your favorite bra and panty in a variety of styles and brand names.

“Participating in the Undie Awards provides women and men with real peer-to-peer information they can use to select the right fit and style, in tops and bottoms,” said Tomima Edmark, lingerie & undergarment expert. “What’s more, the awards introduce voters to brands they might be unfamiliar with, especially via the ‘select’ winner categories, which are determined by our staff as a way of highlighting smaller brands.”

We've been longtime Hanky Panky devotees, but loved seeing the wide variety of styles available. What's your favorite undergarment?

Say Yum: Eco Cocktails at JW Marriott

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than with a cocktail? For that matter - what isn't appropriate to recognize with a cocktail, except perhaps your graduation from rehab? The JW Marriott has crafted a special menu of eco-cocktails and a special list of organic wines by the glass to help raise awareness of rainforest preservation.

Beginning Monday and lasting through the summer, these cocktails will be avail in the lounge. 30 percent of the proceeds will be donated to rainforest preservation through the Juma Sustainable Development Reserve, which assists Amazon rainforests.


The cocktail menu features Prairie Organic® vodka and includes drinks like:

• Strawberry Fields, muddled fresh strawberries, basil leaves, simple syrup
• Prairie Sage Sour, bruised sage leaves, sage infused simple syrup, and house made sour mix
• Prairie Fresh, cucumber and mint leaves muddles with simple syrup.
  
• Wines by the glass include: Cartlidge and Browne Sauvignon Blanc, Pacific Rim Organic Riesling, Vida Organica Malbec Rose, and Vida Organica Torrontes.

A $1 contribution to the Juma Reserve helps offset the average carbon generated per occupied guest room per night at the JW Marriott. Patrons of Bar 1331 will also have the option to make an additional $10 donation to their check, to help offset the carbon footprint of 10 room nights.

Jetset: Deacon Does Cabo San Lucas

In case you missed it, Deacon went on a little spa trip back in late February (photos are on Facebook). We've been waiting to post about our amazing experiences because we wanted this piece to run first in JuliB. Here it is, after mucho delay - Six Great Baja California Spas. A full post about our trip will be up later this week!
