Success in the City Founder, Cynthia de Lorenzi will share the secrets of successful networking with Washington area women amid the silken lingerie at Sylene of DC’s Chevy Chase store as part of Sylene’s Bras and Bruch series on Sunday, March 7th from 10:30 a.m. until noon. We hope you will join us for discussion, mimosas, and brunch as we raise money for Critters for the Cure.
After relocating to the metro Washington region from Dallas, Texas, Cynthia de Lorenzi discovered that she was missing the personal support system of other successful women that she had enjoyed in Texas. So she decided to throw a one-time networking bash to meet some new friends. Meant merely as a razzle-dazzle Texas-style party to say goodbye to the successful “Sex in the City” cable network show, the party inspired the 70 celebrants to urge Cynthia to arrange for this type of fun again and again! Cynthia created an event-driven organization which offers friendship, fun and social opportunities for professional women to congregate and get to know each other. Success in the City serves women who stand out, lead and influence others. Our objective is to offer programs and events that help our members develop lasting peer relationships with other successful women. Trust and humor are key elements for women in developing lasting friendships and once those relationships are formed, deals-on-heels are sure to follow! Success in the City has grown to more than 300 members and more than 2,500 incredible women subscribers to our newsletter! Come meet Cynthia and learn how you can benefit your career, charitable work, and personal life through networking.
This event will benefit Critters for the Cure, based in Gaithersburg, MD and committed to finding a cure for breast cancer through committed support to patients and survivors with the help of some furry friends. Founder Clancy Kress initiated the program, now in its fourth year, after her best friend Ali received a diagnosis at only 40 years old. For your $15 donation to Critters for the Cure at Bras & Brunch, Sylene will reward you with a $25 gift card which may be used during the month of March.
In addition to the $25 gift card, attendees will be able to purchase a special “DIVA” 6-pack of Hanky Panky thongs for $96.97 ($118 value). They include a Black thong with “Diva” spelled out in clear crystals, Canary, Guava Pink, Capri, Freesia, and Papaya. These are in an assortment of both low-rise and original thong.

You will find me quoted in Chapter 4 of the book, where Jené incorporated my famous “S Factor” Makeover. She agrees that women need a variety of bras in their lingerie drawer, so that they are ready for any occasion and outfit.
