FishbowlDC Salutes Emily Heil: Badass Gossip Gal

Dressed in a lovely coral dress, the “Heard on the Hill” columnist found herself in a sticky situation when the escalator began munching away on the end of her gown.

“Secret Service acted really quickly, stopping the escalator and trying to help me pull it out,” Heil told FishbowlDC.
