[Kate stands on wine glass crates to speak to her adoring fans.]

07/17/09 Let’s see, I’ve known Kate Michael for 5 years now! Hard to believe. I first met her in November 2004 when she was working on Capitol Hill.  She has certainly taken DC by storm since then.  I like to think that it was my efforts as photo guy at The Hill Newspaper to make her #1 on the first ever “50 Most Beautiful People” list which served as a launching pad for her subsequent success as Miss DC and now as Queen Of All Media.  Hah!  It’s a complete lie but that’s what I tell people anyway.

Last night, Kate and 400 of her closest friends gathered at Muleh for the 3rd anniversary of her blog K Street Kate which celebrates the best DC has to offer.
