Dorinda Medley

Tue, Dec 1 · 7:00 PM Sixth & I · Chinatown

“Real Housewives of New York City” star Dorinda Medley knows that life isn’t one straight line. It’s a series of adjustments. After sixty years, she has seen it all: love and heartbreak, success and setback, reinvention and resilience. She has worn many hats as a businesswoman, mother, wife, widow, TV personality, author, radio host, and DJ. But of all the things she’s accomplished, her greatest feat is becoming confident in learning how to do things completely on her own. Fear is practically baked into our culture—especially for women. But we can choose another way to live, using confidence to move forward and fear as a tool of encouragement to pivot when life’s challenges knock us down. In I Know a Thing or Two About a Thing or Two , she delivers no-nonsense advice on everything from how to entertain without stress to the basics of managing money, sharing her favorite rituals for feeling grounded, and tricks to get it done no matter the budget and time. Medley reminds us that you don’t need it all and you don’t need to be perfect to Make It Nice. Optional add-on includes access to a post-event photo line for those who would like a photo with the author.

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening. So I built this to do that watching for me — real, confirmed events pulled from hundreds of sources, sorted so you can find your night instead of hunting for it.
