Let's Hear It for the 'Girls!' Astros' Wives Throw a Fash Bash for Charity

DOZENS OF SAVVY socialites and shoppers gathered at Tootsies to sip and shop during an event hosted by Kat Pressly and Janelise Maldonado, wives of Astros stars.


The afternoon benefited Girls Inc., a nonprofit that gives school-age girls enrichment opportunities such as day camps and seminars, and encourages them to be "strong, smart and bold." The Houston CEO, Treopia Cannon, stopped by to thank attendees and tell them a little more about the organization.

Dressed in summertime shades of green, pink and white — and, of course, Astros orange and blue — the fashionable femmes included Reagan Bregman, Kara McCullers, and Astros execs Paula Harris and Anita Sehgal. Raffle winner Donna Lewis received four club-level seats for an upcoming game!

Fried Chicken, Fancy Bubbles, and a Side of Glamour: Sundays at The Marigold Club Just Got Fun

Chef-owner Austin Waiter of The Marigold Club, now serving fried chicken and Champagne on Sunday nights.


IF YOUR SUNDAY nights could use a little sparkle—and a lot of fried chicken—The Marigold Club has just the thing. Starting May 25 at 5pm, the Montrose hotspot known for its playful mix of Southern charm and London polish is rolling out a new weekly tradition: Fried Chicken & Champagne Sundays.

This isn’t your average comfort food situation. We're talking a shareable fried chicken dinner for two, made with farm-raised birds from Deeply Rooted Ranch, and served alongside buttery whipped potatoes, minted peas, aged cheddar scones, and some over-the-top sauces — including a foie gras sauce supreme that’s as extra as it sounds.

HOUSTON BALLET’S 2025–2026 season opened in high style with a double celebration. After the curtain fell on Onegin — John Cranko’s tale of love and rejection — more than 220 patrons gathered on stage at the Wortham for the annual Opening Night Onstage Dinner, one of the company’s most anticipated traditions.

The evening paid special tribute to Jim Nelson. Nelson, who took the helm as Executive Director in 2012, guided the Ballet through the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the challenges of COVID. During dinner, Nelson was honored with a proclamation from the City of Houston. Even Nelson’s mother attended and received a special shout-out during his dinner toast.
