Washington, DC, May 10, 2009 – On the evening of one of Washington, DC's highest profile cultural events, the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner (WHCAD), Niche Media's Capitol File magazine extended the celebration with their Fourth Annual WHCAD After Party hosted by Niche Media CEO, Jason Binn. Steps away from The White House at the historic Corcoran Gallery of Art, media, politicos and Hollywood stars collided, creating excitement similar to that which ushered in the new administration during the Inauguration and related events. The After Party also marked the debut of the brand new Summer Issue of Capitol File featuring a cover story profiling two women at the forefront of the Administration's agenda, Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett and White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers.

The invitation-only event drew several hundred of Washington's media, business, and political insiders, as well as a mix of boldfaced names in entertainment, including Wanda Sykes, who was the official emcee for the WHCAD, Prince Abdulaziz bin Talal, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Connie Britton, Rachel Leigh Cook, Jim Cramer, David Cross, Tim Daly, Kara DioGuardi, Rahm Emanuel, Mariska Hargitay, Dulé Hill, Gwen Ifill, Valerie Jarrett, Padma Lakshmi, Debra Lee, Jennifer Loven, Suzanne Malveaux, Meghan McCain, Kai Milla, John McLaughlin, Eva Longoria Parker, Todd Palin, Desirée Rogers, Leslie Sanchez, Matthew Settle, Christian Slater, Amber Tamblyn, Chris Tucker, Greta Van Susteren, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Keisha & Forest Whitaker, Owen Wilson, and Jason Wu.

The After Party was conceived as "The Perfect Spring Party" by its organizers--minimal, but festive, set against a stark, classic, 60' ceiling-space with bright hints of coral and citrus. Guests enjoyed a buffet featuring assorted desserts and comfort-style food like bread pudding, cupcakes, and bananas foster flambéed with a Maker's Mark butter sauce.

Celebrities, elected officials and media heavy-hitters rubbed elbows until late night in the Borgata VIP lounge, while others soaked up the atmosphere in the Qatar Airways "Premium Lounge", where they were welcomed by Qatar flight attendants.

All guests received a swag bag, courtesy of Saks Fifth Avenue, flowing with Spring beauty products and accessories (retail valued at approximately $350).

Niche Media's Capitol File magazine's annual WHCAD After Party was presented by Qatar Airlines and sponsored by Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa, Maker's Mark, Cartier, Mizani, Shiseido Makeup, Sun Trust Bank, and Reston Limousines, with entertainment provided by BET.
