White House Holiday Party 2011

Had the most amazing experience! My boyfriend Oliver Willis was invited to the White House Holiday Party this year and guess who got to be his +1? Yes... me! Woot. The night was magical beyond words. We got to walk through the Executive Residence and all of the rooms - each one so beautifully decorated. There was amazing food and drinks, the Marine Corp Band played festive music in the Entrance Hall and best of all.. we got to meet and take a photo with President Barack Hussein Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama!!! The greatest 10 seconds of my life! LOL

We saw so many famous writers, bloggers and columnists but only President & Mrs Obama made us starstruck (okay, Jonathan Capehart too!)

*Updated: Our official WH photo!


Here are photos of last night.
