SAX. A burlesque-style bar and lounge plus Belvedere vodka cocktails marked the all exclusive, red-carpet event held at SAX DC on Wednesday, July 11th, 2012.

Over 400 Washingtonian’s celebrated the launch of “The Privilege List” while eating mini seafood hors d'oeuvres and petite sliders coupled with Belvedere Lemon Tea Thyme Tonic and Belvedere Pure Sunsplash cocktails.

A who’s who list of lobbyist, journalists, R&B stars and fashion executives from NY fashion houses were in SAX.
