"The Real Housewives of D.C." cast members Mary Amons and Lynda Erkiletian strutted their fashionable selves down the red carpet at Fashion's Night Out private event at Roche Salon in Georgetown Friday night.

The ladies and sixth "housewife" Paul Wharton came out to support the D.C, fashion scene and served as co-hosts for the evening along with WUSA 9's (very pregnant, but beautiful) Angie Goff, Project Beltway's Rachel Cothran, CityShopGirl's Kelly Collis and Urban Daddy's Jeff Dufour.

VIP guests sipped on champagne, snacked on hors d'oeuvres and posed for photos with Lady Gaga posers and Cirque du Soleil dancers. After thanking the crowd for coming, Amons dished to Yeas & Nays about what she's been up to.

"I just got back from L.A., and I'm going to be on 'Access Hollywood,' E! News and there's a big feature on me and my charity and part of the show in the L.A. Times coming this week in the entertainment section," she said.
Amons started her nonprofit Labels for Love, which benefits women and children, in 2006. She tells us the reason she got involved in reality television was to bring attention to the charity, and it seems her decision has paid off.

"We're tracking the traffic to our Web site, and since the show was announced we have 400,000 hits."

Amons will host her own fundraiser, the District Sample Sale, on Thursday, where she will be collaborating with Fran Drescher's group, Cancer Schmancer.

Amons declined to gossip about what's going on in the "Housewives" world but she did allude to the fact that she will not play a role in any new drama.

"It's all going to unfold but I think I'm out of the woods with drama, with the real drama," she said.
