Dinner with Sharon Stone!

On Saturday night we went to a private dinner with Sharon Stone at the Potomac home of Shahin Mafi.

We snapped the actress with J Street Group CEO Debbie Schiff. Sharon talked about a film she's planning to make, The Principle, a modern day parable about cyber-bullying, a topic close to her heart.

Sisters Goli Kashani and Gilan Corn bookend Monaco's Ambassador Maccario Doyle and the evening's hostess, Shahin Mafi. Guests enjoyed a lavish cocktail reception at the beautiful estate with a performance by a violinist.

Czech Ambassador Petr Gandalovič and his wife, Pavlina Gandalovič, surround embassy liaison Jan Du Plain. Following the reception, guests headed to the beautifully manicured backyard for a dinner under the stars. 

Former MD Lt Gov Anthony Brown, his wife, Karmen Brown, Epoch Times' Alessandra Gelmi and Tony Rozakis. Following the dinner, Sharon Stone introduced a film, Admissions, for a private screening.

Ambassador David Newman of Botswana is bookended by his wife, Changu Newman, and Sen. Ed Markey's wife, Dr. Susan Blumenthal. Guests dined on a three-course dinner with delicious tilapia and curried chicken.
