  • What’s Your Guilty Pleasure?

    Mark your calendars!

    From skirt!Raleigh Editor, Faith Dwight’s, blog:It’s all happening Tuesday, January 13, from 5:30-7:30pm at 518 West Italian Café on Glenwood South and, as always, we’ll be benefiting a worthy cause.

    This month, it’s Interact of Wake County, and we’re asking you to bring every woman’s guilty pleasure – lotions, creams, shampoos, and other pampering products – so that the women who benefit from Interact can experience a little pleasure of their own.

    I haven’t been able to go since the first Skirts for Success event but I am starting the year off on the right foot – networking and contributing to a great cause!

    PS – My guilty pleasure? Late-night TMZ on Sunday nights/Monday morning (seriously – like 1:00 am) before starting the week off. I’m not a tabloid follower, but TMZ is hilarious – “keeping Hollywood real since 2007“.
