| We were at The Liason Hotel for Walk This Way, a fashion show for Becky’s Fund. The night was so spectacular—celebrity models in couture by Eric Finn Custom Clothiers in DC’s first over-the-pool runway show—we decided to devote the whole issue to it. |

 |
|
After the win against Tampa Bay last Sunday, walking down a catwalk came easy to Redskins running back Clinton Portis, who modeled to raise funds to end domestic violence. He’s flanked by Becky’s Fund founder Becky Lee and lawyer Lily Mazahery.

The night’s emcee NBC4’s Lindsay Czarniak in red is flanked by IT consultant Sabrina Copp and her sister Oracle’s Rachel Copp and by the State Dept’s Susan Corke.

 |
|
Redskins QB Jason Campbell modeled for the cause in a dashing Eric Finn suit, here with GW Sports Alliance’s Keri Ann Meslar.
|
| |
 |
|
We snapped R&B superstar Ginuwine, who sat in the front row for the fashion show.
|
| |
 |
|
And now we know why: FBI’s Krystal Leigh Cunnigham, care coordinator Allyson Rose, and model Catharina Lee.

| |
 |
|
Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall with wife Jada came to support Becky’s Fund.
|
| |
 |
|
Also modeling was former Eagles player John Booty, here with Alisa Paganis and Eric Finn’s Matt Landsberg.
|
| |
 |
|
We snapped Mercedes Lindsay and Jason Campbell, GW Sports Alliance’s Lou Holder, Redskins tight end Chris Cooley and wife Christy Oglevee. We waived our one picture per person rule because the Redskins won Sunday.

 |
|
A model sported Eric Finn’s classic button down shirt during the over-the-pool runway show. We’re wondering why our button downs don’t look like this on us?

Oops. Just so you know: M Cafe, mentioned in yesterday’s newsletter, is actually in The Collection at Chevy Chase.
