Sure, you COULD spend your evenings watching women bicker on "Say Yes to the Dress," but maybe you should finally shell out for a DVR and get out of the house, cheapo.
Carine’s Bridal Atelier (1726 Wisconsin Ave. N.W., 2nd Floor) is introducing designer Kenneth Pool to its shop with a trunk show running Thursday through Saturday. There's enough drama in Pool's designs for a whole month's work of screechy reality shows. Instead of jealous bridesmaids and sulky future mothers-in-law, think sweeping silhouettes, heaps of ruffles and other elements of sartorial fantasy.
Although, speaking of reality TV -- "Project Runway" alum Austin Scarlett happens to now work as creative director for Kenneth Pool.
This show will feature up to 30 additional gowns not usually available in the store. You'll get a 10 percent discount off any Kenneth Pool gown purchased during the show weekend. Trunk show viewings are by appointment only -- call (202) 965-4696. And then go get a DVR already.
April 16 and 17, 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
April 18, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
