Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy, happy, beautiful and blessed holiday from we at the Punch.  In observance, we will take a small hiatus, but will be back Sunday!  Thanks for reading in 2008 and looking forward to an even better 2009 with you. Kisses … Pamela, The Punch Bowl, and The Team [...]

After our media friends and the rumor mills had made us all believe that anyone and I mean anyone could rent out his or her apartment/condo/house/townhouse/patch of grass/sidewalk square for thousands upon thousands of dollars during Inauguration week to some poor – oops, I mean rich – sap – who would brave the 4 million [...]

That last Friday (early!) morning there was a “Toy Toss” going on?  That’s right, while most of us were rubbing the sleep out of our eyes, sipping our freshly brewed java, and peering into our Google news page, Tommy McFly of Mix 107.3FM and Kim Martucci of WUSA 9 and a team of volunteers sorted [...]

Congratulations to Punch Highlighted Partner Jim Spiro and Platinum Lifestyle Management for the nod found within the newest (as in brand spankin’ new) edition of Capitol File Magazine.  Pick up the hot-off-the-press issue and read about this luxury lifestyle management firm on page 180.

Two friends, who are in similar social and professional circles, and I are doing a fun photo shoot post-Christmas (as in 6am the Sunday after, yikes).  Once the layout is finalized, we will post and send to appropriate media channels.  I can only say it will be quite an interesting (and entertaining) experience. December 22, [...]

Thank you to all of the wonderful Punch readers who have sent comments and feedback about the "list of things I have learned in 2008".  Some folks with which this list resonated sent in their own add-on’s and I’d like to share them with everyone: -You don’t know who your true friends are……. until they [...]

Hail to those Redskins!  Congratulations for closing up the regular home season right by turning a not very exciting game into a W.  Fans of the burgundy and gold braved the high winds and muddy walk ways to cheer the team onto victory over the E-A-G-L-E-S.  It may not have been a winning season, but [...]

Ahhhh, to be the First Lady and never have to decide another day what to wear again, because your closet will be packed full of attire that talented designers want you to adorn, every day and every night, from tippy-toe to the top of your head.  Sigh. Well, www.washingtonpost.com’s Style Section is hosting a contest [...]

Thank you to Producer Hadley Gamble and Chief White House Correspondent Bret Baier for having me on FOX News Channel on Sunday.  Thanks to everyone who watched it and sent kind notes!  P.S. (my gorgeous scarf is courtesy of MooJoo Ken and the suit is by Rochelle Behrens, both local DC design houses). In case [...]

I suppose the holiday season tends to be the time during which we reflect upon what we have accomplished, what we have learned, and what we strive to do in the year ahead. For many, this becomes almost a depressing season; when thoughts lean towards the world of “Shoulda, Coulda, and his brother Woulda”.  Trust [...]

Punch Highlighted Partner MooJoo Ken is getting naked!  Well, their hangers are at least.  You can participate in helping them get stripped bare by taking advantage of their boutique wide sale.  The luxury collection and design house is offering 20% off everything (just in time for the holidays and great for our plastic).  I personally [...]
