This story is starting to sound strangely reminiscent of Tiger Woods and his growing tally of mistresses.
One of my new favorite blogs, Ask Miss A, was blogging back in December about the third White House party crasher, Carlos Allen:
This morning, Andrea Rodgers is blogging about the possibility of a fourth party crasher, a PR Director for Hush mag:There are rumors floating around Washington that Tareq and Michaele Salahi may not have been alone in crashing the State Dinner. It seems that Carlos Allen, CEO of Hush Society Magazine may have also crashed President and Mrs. Obama’s first State Dinner, too. As Carol Joynt reported today on her blog, which quoted my contributor’s post on AskMissA.com, but never mentioned my website, Carlos wasn’t on the State Dinner invitation list. According to some of his Facebook friends, Carlos allegedly posted some photos of himself at the State Dinner on Facebook, which were taken down when the Salahi Gate-Crashing story broke.
Sharmila Viswasam who is Director of Public Relations for Hush Society Magazine, which Carlos Allen runs has been Facebragging like her friends, Tareq and Michaele Salahi.

The lesson in this whole crasher-gate debacle? If you're going to crash a party at the White House, don't post your pictures, comments, thoughts, etc. on Facebook and Twitter!
I wanted to comment on the third dinner crasher....someone told me Carlos Allen, Karen Brooks works for the state department- could that have been how he was able to get into the dinner? Maybe he was actually legit.
ReplyDeleteIt has also been told to me that his partner, Brian Silver's wife, Clarice Brooks (who I believe is Karen's sibling) also works for the federal government. Couldnt these ladies have assisted with getting Allen into the dinner. Why does he has to be listed as a "crasher"?
Thanks so much for the tip. I will definitely look into this.
ReplyDeleteIt wasnt a "tip" just suggested information. Why would Allen be so stupid as to attend a dinner with the president of the United States, when he wasnt suppose to be there!? One would think he would be more careful. But from what I was told, he could of obtained invitations from his wife, Karen Broooks or his partners wife, Clarice Brooks. Think about it.
ReplyDeleteThis Sharmilla woman was not there and it looks like to me she just tried to "feed" off of Carlos Allen's fame by posting those post on facebook.
