ABOUT THE EVENT: 

Featuring 20 of the Washington Metro Area's most celebrated chefs, this foodies paradise will feature the culinary delights of Oprah's friend and former chef, Art Smith and his cooking compadre Chef Travis Timberlake of Art & Soul. Baby Love cookbook author Chef Geoff Tracy of Chef Geoffs  will also be on hand, along with reality TV competition winner, Chef Rock Harper of Hells Kitchen fame. Will be sure to ask Chef Rock what Gordan Ramsey is really like in person and what he's been up to these days. 

The Signature Chefs Auctions are exciting events that pay tribute to the culinary distinction of 15 to 25 of the finest chefs, caterers and local celebrity chefs while raising money to support the March of Dimes mission of saving babies. Each chef is asked to present their signature dish in miniature form as well as donate a unique package to be sold during a live auction. Guest are invited to bid on a variety of packages related to entertainment, dining, leisure and travel in the lively live auction. Signature Chefs Auctions have been held in more than 20 cities across the country (Go Washington D.C.!) and these events have raised more than $132 million for the March of Dimes since 1989. The 2010 honorary chef is Ris Lacoste, Executive Chef and Owner of Ris. 

WJLA-TV news anchor Leon Harris will serve as master of ceremonies. Oh snap. See you there! 

HOT HEEL OF THE WEEK:

Each week I am going to bring you the "Heel" of the week from http:// www.shoedazzle.com. What's Shoe Dazzle really all about you say? Well I'll show you. It's quick, simple, and fun! Watch this quick video to see  how it works:

So without further adieu I give my HOT Heel pick: The Veata 

I ja'dore this faux croc pump with an edge. My stylists clearly know what they are doing here! These  are the deets from ShoeDazzle:

How to Wear It:

Richly-hued faux crocodile lends a classic platform a note of luxury. Saturated color and faux croc-embossing make a classic pump new again. Veata pops when paired with silky blouses and a mini or some skinnys. Pile on the gold necklaces and jewel-toned earrings to dress her up!

About the Style:

Color: Purple

Heel Height: 4" heel*

Platform:  0.75" platform*

By: Imported

Fit: Runs 1/2 size small

Material: Faux croc pump

Ok time to go and step out with style. That's all from DC ON HEELS "Giving you the local hookup to food, fashion and fun in our Nation's Capital"

And speaking of fierce-- tomorrow DC Houswives will be dishing out the drama on screen and maybe even off ?!!!

DC on HEELS has learned that there's a plethora of parties between the housewives. According to an article by Emily Miller of humanevents.com the Salahi's will be hosting a separate after-party following the exclusive premiere hosted by Bravo and Half Yard productions (being held at the Madison Hotel.) The screening party is for close friends of the housewives (who will all be in attendance) and media will be limited. Then after that, the Salahi's will be hosting their own party at EFN lounge, while the other four housewives Amons, Erkiletian, Ommanney and Turner are hosting their after-party event with Washington Life Magazine at Buddha Bar.

Either way and either party you attend... the DC Houswives will be sure to entertain. All drama aside it's just suppose to be fun lighthearted entertainment for your viewing pleasure. Nobody is saving lives here, so let's all just watch the show, attend the parties and ENJOY it! It is ENTERTAINMENT after all.

DC DOPPELGANGER: CELEBRITY LOOK- ALIKE

Coming in at the number one spot with 96% is the bootylicious and talented triple threat Mrs. Beyonce Knowles or is it Beyonce Z? Either way that's what the face recognition ran for the lovely Oh My Goff.

Runner-ups include fellow news reporter and journalist Katie Couric, actress Kate Bosworth, and my personal favorite Doritoes spokes gal and former Miss USA Ali Landry! Hey I wish my doppelganger would put me with a former Miss USA! Ok what are your thoughts? Was the face recognition spot on or what? I can def. see a blend of Landry and Couric with a dash of Bosworth and Knowles.
