politi-couture for the urbane sophisticate
So, this Isabel Mastache ensemble looks normal. I just can’t tell if it’s work appropriate though. I mean, there’s the matching suit aspect, but something about it seems a little less formal. can’t put my finger on it, but I guess I’ll save it for Casual Friday, just to be safe.

The Geico caveman was in the District yesterday, and he has this message for President Obama:
It was a night of art for all ages. The Smithsonian American Art Museum’s ARTrageous gala was fun for both seasoned art historians as well as young attendees just beginning their collecting experience. Wide-eyed and dressed to the nines, ARTrageous guests brought out their most artistic accessories, like funky jewelry, bedazzled ties, pastel-dyed feather boas, sequined headpieces, and everything in between.
The centerpiece was a fabulous glass form of a dress, created by Karen LaMonte. “Reclining Dress Impression with Drapery” was the perfect piece for the evening’s blend of art and fashion. Guests swilled designer cocktails and ate delicious decadent bites while dancing around the illuminated piece.
Nick Verreos of “Project Runway” fame was also one of the VIP guests, doling out fashion advice as though he was one of the many perky attendants offering up Champagne everywhere you turned. Verreos took pictures with starstruck guests, who prodded on his take over following seasons’ contestants and the beauty of LaMonte’s sadly unwearable beautiful glass dress.
The evening concluded with a kicky DJ spinning everything from pop to techno to old frat house throwbacks. It was an evening replete with every form of art and fashion to span all ages and tastes.

Big Poppa who? Kim Zolciak, otherwise known as “the white one” on “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” has pulled a lesbian relationship out of her Velashape’d butt. The hoarse reality show star has been seen publicly canoodling with DJ Tracy Young, who remixed her awesomely bad song “Don’t Be Tardy 4 the Party.”
Given that Zolciak recently told an Atlanta radio show that she was still with Big Poppa, an unidentified sugar daddy that ahem, floats, the buxom blonde plenty of money, this stunt seems more PR related than love related. Did she get her publicity tricks from Lindsay Lohan?
I’m not sure how this fits in Michelle’s “healthy living” campaign, but the physicians to the Prez have recommended he “continue” his smoking cessation efforts (ongoing for how many decades now?) and keep alcohol intake to a moderate level.
Obama’s cholesterol levels are at the high end of normal, and recommended that next time he shoves his foot in his mouth, to opt for a calorie-conscious “sparkling water summit” rather than a beer summit.
Perhaps the Botox has gone to her head. After the Obamacare discussion, which saw President Obama holding court and throwing rules out the window because he’s the President, Pelosi confidently stated that healthcare would indeed be shoved through under the misnomer “reconcilliation.”
“They’ve had a field day going out and misrepresenting what the bill says..but that’s what they do,” she added.

WATCH OUT O, HERE COMES A!
Askmissa.com launches national e-magazine
(WASHINGTON, DC) –A year and a half after the launch of the DC-area lifestyle blog AskMissA.com, the company makes its debut today as a national e-magazine. Inspired by Washington socialite Andrea Rodgers’s LateNightShots moniker, “Miss A,” AskMissA.com’s popularity blossomed from 5,000 to 60,000 unique monthly readers between August 2008 and February 2010. AskMissA.com publishes advice, recommendations, and views from topical writers who cover women’s well-rounded lifestyle interests — cultural, political, and social issues; art and literature; design and entertaining; style and skincare. Forty percent of the website’s monthly visitors come from outside the DC/MD/VA area, with the largest percentage coming from other major cities.
“We are thrilled to begin our national expansion across the United States. AskMissA.com has been listening to our national readers,” says Andrea Rodgers, Editor-in-Chief of AskMissA.com. “While much of our topical content is universal, we recognize that our readers in other major cities have regional preferences and want local content. Our writers across the country will reflect the style and culture of their individual city.”
AskMissA.com is expanding across the nation’s heartland with new writers who, like Miss Rodgers, are in-the-know in their respective major city. New writers from New York, Atlanta, Charleston, Charlotte, Miami, Palm Beach, Houston, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco will give her nationwide readers local content, while sharing the scoop about life in other cities with national readers. More readers are expected to “Ask Miss A” for help regarding their love and social lives, as this expansion is expected to increase the national reach of AskMissA.com tremendously.
“This isn’t just a makeover. It’s a true transformation,” says Mike Carson, also known as “Guy Friday” and AskMissA.com’s web producer. “The design improves the website, but maintains the Miss A brand. The new magazine layout allows readers to better access the diverse and extensive content on the site. The traditional blog format was much too limiting.”
