D.C. Scene This Week

"Been goin' through my laundry, Carla?" "Salope!!"

Buy me a drank?

Lots of things happened this past week in the District and the nation, most of which are very recession-y. Obama promised 600,000 jobs (could I get one? Kthx.). The IPhone is now a mere $99 (could I get one? Kthx.). Sonia Sotomayor’s on crutches. Undoubtedly karmic retribution for being such a racialist.

And some interesting things, too.

Michelle, ma belle. In some photos, first ladies Michelle and Carla seem to be having a ball. In others, not so much.

I’ve been waiting for this one for years: The Real World D.C.. I for one cannot WAIT to spy the token characters (bitchy girl, flaming mo, hot and frequently angry black dude) around town.  Let the trashy hot tub scenes commence!

For those who are bored and want fantasize about hipster summer fun, browse through these photos of Brightest Young Things band camp in D.C. Nothing like a summer day of Twister, beer, inflatable pool toys, and electric guitars by the pool.

Somewhat random: I just found this trendy graphic designer’s blog, and she is awesome. Her name is Nubby Twiglet.

And, finally, D.C. Craig’s List “Are They Serious?” Ad of the Week:

“JEWISH EGG DONOR NEEDED by LOVING JEWISH COUPLE $20,000+ ALL EXPENSES PAID not an agency

Reply to: lovingjewishcouple@yahoo.com”

Further down is their list of requirements, including “Jewish with a biological mother who was born Jewish,” “ Highly intelligent with high IQ, SAT Scores & GPA (Please Include Scores),” and “Attractive.” Those who are Christian, dumb, and ugly need not apply.

Two comments: one, I feel very, very sorry for the child that egg will become. Two, 10 bucks says the couple’s not even infertile, they’re just not as smart and attractive as they’d like their kid to be.
