Wednesday Martin Applies Birkin Bag Logic to Rich & Powerful Washington

It was a good time interviewing "Primates of Park Avenue" author Wednesday Martin today at The Q&A Cafe. We went deep into her memoir, which takes a fascinating anthropological look at the very rich mothers of New York's Upper East Side. She found some parallels with wealthy Washington, too, well covered in The Washington Post's Reliable Source column. The full interview will air on Channel 16, DCN, tomorrow, and I'll post a YouTube link soon. In so many words, she says that the rich in Washington covet "influence" the way the rich of NY covet the Hermes Birkin bag. 

Wednesday Martin poses with members of the audience, and copies of her book, after The Q&A Cafe at the George Town Club.
