I switched back and am confused. Who are invited to these things? TV actors? I read correspondent and think media/news types and politicians. I busted up seeing the woman having her stylist fixing her up on camera. lol Some of these people do not have clue as to what is flattering. jmho, of course. And, there are some that look like they would rather be elsewhere. What are the odds Bruce Jenner will be there? The sound is awful. All of those voices.
As I understand it, you have to be a member of the Washington White House Correspondents Assoc to attend then you can invite guests. Even the President and his staff and congress critters have to be invited by one of the members. Tickets are $300 each or IIRc $3k for a table.
They said earlier that the number of Hollyweird and other celebrities has increased over the years. They also said that if you want to attend you need to provide $300 with an application (not sure that’s the word they used). They turned back 900 or more this year.
