Barbara Martin sends us this report from "The Front Row."

The Front Row is Bethesda Row's 3-day style event here in the Washington, DC area. Our runway event featured VIP guest Laura Bennett from Project Runway Season 3, who signed and read from her new book, "Didn't I Feed You Yesterday?: A Mother's Guide To Sanity In Stilettos," as well as High Society's Tinsley Mortimer.

Christian Siriano was our VIP guest last year, and as he is from the area, his sister, Shannon Siriano, was among the guests last evening. Shannon and Laura traded Project Runway insight; Shannon also let it slip that Christian is designing the dress for her June wedding, and that she hasn't even laid eyes on it yet!

Thank you Barbara!
