YAS, PP. How has no one mentioned this? Thanks for keeping the thread alive!

OMG She is insufferable. The whole lot deserves each other. Gag.

Such bad writing! Like a Carrie Bradshaw diary entry. Emotionally stunted and trying to be cute but not too cute.

Ugh. And in the article she talks about how she has her “most reliable and germ-free caregiver” come to babysit their (asymptatic) child while she and her husband are unwell with coronavirus. No mention whatsoever of concerns that the caregiver might get sick from them (or did I miss something?)

OMG, she hired a babysitter to come in while she and her DH were both COVID positive. WTF

She's referring to an iPad. I don't know how she reconciles this with later becoming a reliable and germ-full caregiver in sick people's backyard a few weeks later.

I’m slow down ... she was referring to an iPad. Not a person

^ I meant “pls slow down....”

Meaning we don’t need to jump all over all these people ...

She's fully made up in her instagram pic about having covid. Couldn't have felt too awful.

It sounds like that social circle was just passing covid around to each other (both those two moms who traveled to florida for memorial day weekend), this camp lady and her DH, etc.

"extending olive branches covered in icing" - more like extending the spread of Covid. What an awful person!

Mid-April: Camp owners whole family has COVID

End of May: Ashley, Candace (co-business owners) both travel to Florida for memorial day weekened

--Ashley and Candace continue hanging out without social distancing or masks--

weeks of June 8 and June 16: Backyard camp with no masks or social distancing (Candace's child attends)

Somewhere in here, Candace was dxed with Coronavirus, because there is a post about Ashley bringing her soup.

Early June (rumored)-mommy fitness camo at Ashley's house

June 18: Ballet Fundraiser and party at Ashley's house

Fair enough. I’ll admit i didn’t feel like reading her “article” too deeply.

So tons of people in this social circle have or have had COVID.
That is so interesting to me because none of my local friends have had it (only friends n NYC and SF).

Not exactly. Candace was dx'ed after the party. But there's been handful of kids who've tested positive since the party, and not all of them attended the camp (exposed thru their parents).

IG link to the Ashley Candace soup post for timeline? If it was in March it could be a second infection.

Ashley's kids attended backyard camp too.

I'm disappointed that the second WaPo article, the one discussing the infections Ashley caused at the Gala didn't also update on the infections secondary to the backyard party, the health status of those infected at the party, or the infections resulting from the backyard camps. And why didn't it tell us the backyard camp owner's family had had mild, albeit whiny, cases in April? I get that the first article was breaking rather than in-depth but subsequent ones should have dug more and given us the info we need.

If unpleasant people like this are the life of these parties, why are so many people wanting to be their friends and be a part of that "scene?"

Oh please, we do not have "society pages." We do not have "socialites." We do not have a fundraising "scene." Anyone can buy a ticket to a fundraising party and become a donor to whatever organizations they choose. You can even give the money without going to the party. It's a transaction, and it's not attached to any sort of meaningful social cache. This is not Gilded Age New York. People in Washington have always and will always be more interested in political/media power. THAT's the "scene" here.

I wish that were so. Are you not a NW DC private school mom? Trust me, there is a very hefty, very exclusive and ugly social scene.

i am not the PP, but there is no "popular" group of moms in NWDC that people are trying to be a part of, at least not the WOHMs.

I am not, but I went to a NW private school and I really don't think this is a real thing. People sucked up to parents who were powerful. Instagram and a ballet gala do not make you powerful.
.

They aren't politically powerful. They are the popular and pretty set - John and Kristin Cecchi, Tara Patten and her husband, Sara and Chris Lange, Callie and Brad Nierenberg, Winston Lord and his wife, Brooke and Fritz Brogan, etc. Yes, anybody can go to a charity gala, but these are the pretty, popular and fun couples everyone wants to be friends with.

Wait - I thought Winston was...

Oh never mind.

It was on Ashley’s Instagram before she turned it to private.
