One must never let go before having managed to set down one's first impressions. –Pierre Bonnard
Beverly Perry, Senior Vice President for Government Affairs and Public Policy for Pepco Holdings, Inc. with a friend.
Playing Alice in Wonderland for an evening was a lark after stepping into the former home of Duncan Phillips (aka Phillip Collection) for the museum’s annual fundraiser inspired by the seminal Luncheon of the Boating Party by Renoir. After a decadent dinner featuring lobster salad, filet mignon and close proximity to breathtaking original masterpieces by Degas, Bonnard, Diebenkorn and others, guests strolled over to the tres elegant Anderson House located at 21st and Massachusetts Ave, NW for an extended evening of dancing and divine desserts. (Doesn't Beverly Perry of Pepco look fabulous?)
The Anderson House boasts breathtaking art, dizzying ceiling heights and sumptuous furnishings. In addition to serving as destination for DC’s most exclusive receptions, the Anderson House is one of the few palatial residences of the 20th century and served as the winter home of Ambassador Larz Anderson, III (US Ambassador to Belgium and Japan) and his wife, Isabel. Isabel Anderson gave the home to the Society of Cincinnati (http://www.hereditary.us/cin_anderson.htm) when her husband died. In 1837.
Darling, you can find fashion in the most unusual places. Did you know that up until 1812 US diplomats like Larz Anderson designed their own uniforms? Mine would be nipped to form a wasp waist a la Christian Dior with butterflies embroidered on both lapels! Yummy.
