Every once in a while, we get to go to a fab blogger event and when we do we enjoy bringing back some of the fun and sharing the pics with our friends and readers.

Tonight was such a night as I headed to DC’s fabulous, artsy Long View Gallery in the heart of the city to attend our blog partner PopSugar‘s beauty blogger event sponsored by Smirnoff and featuring its newest line of drinks and cocktails.

When I got there, the dimly-lit venue with its unique exposed brick walls was set to life with red up-lighting and buzzing with pretty beauty and lifestyle bloggers, photographers and other socialites milling about sipping on signature cocktails or holding bottles of Smirnoff Ice, and noshing at one of four stations:

1) A chili station featured scrumptious petite round cut jalapeno cornbread dipped in chili;

gooey cheesy mac & cheese topped with barbecue chicken shavings; and tasty corn chowder;

2) Another station served up a buffet of pulled pork, beef and turkey barbecue and a tater tot nacho bar.

3) A sliders station included mini-burgers and mini crab cakes.

4) The dessert table featured assorted mini whoopie pies, assort d mini lollipops, sugar cookies, Smirnoff Ice peach bellinis and Smirnoff Ice Watermelon Mimosas.

The host, actress Keshia Knight Pulliam who is dating Big Tigger, an alum to my alma mater University of Maryland, welcomed guests and shouted out HBCUs. The Cosby Show alum, who graduated from Spellman College, told the crowd of about 100 that she would be attending the historical classic football game tomorrow and invited all to continue to enjoy the event.

We got to burn off the food dancing to tunes being spun by a female DJ.

Play a game of sandbag toss.

Or get in on the very competitive round of Jenga.

To commemorate the event, there was a photo booth where bloggers took souvenir pics.

The eyelash application and manicure stations were fabulous additions.

Overall, it was a very fab time!
