 ,  ,  Done the same ole' places over and over? Me? Never! I'm always on the look out for new places to keep the "ooh la la" in life. The Frugal Socialite has some ideas for the Frugal, the Fantasizer, the Fun Lover and even, for the Folks in a Funk because February 14th is not the day of Love they'd envisioned... |
 The Frugal Socialite Quoted in May’s Essence Magazine Economic Enjoyable Experiences with Friends—Frugal Socialite Style! In these technology hyped days, me and my girls talk by Bluetooth, text and email. Planning to see each other in a home setting, where we can take off shoes, vent, laugh loudly and reconnect is a treat. |
 Second Annual CAPITAL WINE FESTIVAL AT THE FAIRFAX AT EMBASSY ROW The Frugal Socialite, aka, Lucinda Hughes, had a girl’s night (without our toddlers this time) with La Fonda Sutton Burke, my girl who is always ready to unwind with something “fabulous in a beautiful glass”, after a full day of being a corporate executive. |
 The Frugal Socialite Soirees with Director and Actors of Secretariat Movie TO WIN SCREENING PASSES, EACH ADMITS 2 PEOPLE, KEEP READING… Mint Julep anyone? A Kentucky Derby soiree came to D.C. on September 19th, with a star packed VIP screening of Disney’s Secretariat movie.

 The Frugal Socialite is losing her touch. I thought I was in good with Disney reps, but low and behold, I was out of the loop on Disney’s newest event that hit theaters across the nation today. A lot of my time is spent occupying and entertaining my toddler. My 3 year old leaves school inquiring about our next stop. “Mommy, are we going to the playground, Chuck E. Cheese, Pump It Up or a restaurant?” If none of those get a “yes”, the next question is whether so-and-so – insert name of his handful of playmates -- is coming to play with him. |

 Frugal doesn’t always mean free, but when it is, why fight? Take advantage of the outdoors. Remember January of 2010?

 George Clinton & "Parliament/Funkadelic" are missing the Diaper Man. He passed. They have a whole new look. I didn't know it was George without the locks. Performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival, a venue they haven't played since 1994. Floor was vibrating from the jumping and the funkiness! Canadians definitely know the P-Funk. Hot, musty, weed smoke, over the top bass, big 'fros, mixed crowd, old hippies with headbands & long hair and floor sticky with beer...felt like the '70s rewound. |
