Fabulous Washington Hostesses: Pamela Harriman

Now that spring events season is here and the weather is perfection, I'm feeling inspired because a.) my house is justhisclose to be able to host events and b.) I just had lunch with two fabulous Washington hostesses at Leopold's (plus lunch with another fantastic one at Atlantico a few days ago--that guacamole is To. Die. For. Sorry, sidetrack). So I think this week will be a tribute to the all-time greats, in no particular order:
