Well done! Treat it like boxing, stick and move, stick and move.

Ladies, please tell me that none of you Washington-area FBetties are part of this.

"Trophy Wives in Waiting" on the anit-prowl through their club, called "the Madison.".

• Founded late last year by a handful of mostly Hill women in their early 20s looking for good times and professional advancement with 100 members and oodles of girls on the waiting list.
  
  It’s hard to say what The Madison’s raison d’être is. Discussing their new social circle, the girls are just as likely to mention “philanthropy” as “networking.” Ending child abuse — this year’s cause — is mentioned almost as frequently as landing a good job, clubbing and meeting “quality” people, i.e., people who get you good jobs and into clubs.
  
  One local news personality, said a Madison higher-up, “calls us trophy wives in training.” She laughs, tucking a strawberry-blond lock behind her ear. “I would be the ultimate trophy wife!”
  
  Of course, Madison women are keenly aware that trophy wives can have fun but not too much fun: No one wants his trophy too tarnished before they walk down the aisle.
  
  Tonight The Madison has taken over Blue Gin, just eight weeks old and already among the hippest bars in Washington. Blue Gin is swank, dimly lit and managed by a Frenchman. Plus, they’ve concocted a special Madison Martini just for this evening. (Ingredients include mango rum, fresh raspberry puree and a splash of cranberry juice.)
  
  Downstairs the girls are staking out their turf at the bar, reclining on the miniature couches and talking about their congressmen and their highlights and who’s going to win in November. One junior staffer at “B-C ’04,” asked if the president is going to prevail, quips, “Hells yeah!” While they’re reluctant to acknowledge any partisan leanings, roughly 80 percent are Republican.
  
  It would be easy to paint The Madison as a sort of NC-17 Junior League, a cool-but-not-too-cool clique of mostly Southern belles too pretty, too well bred to mingle, let alone procreate, with mere legislative directors.
  
  ***
  
  It’s not just that The Madison is exclusive. So what? If everyone could join, no one would want to. Good for these ladies for wearing their haughtiness on their sleeves. In a town notorious for its dishonesty and obfuscation, The Madison is refreshingly in-your-face about who’s hot and who’s not.

Lord. I haven't seen this level of smug prissyness since freshman year, when Cecelia D. Davenport rejected me during Rush Week for Beauregard ("Chip") Stockton III. Though Pinto, Otter and Flounder tried to talk me down, the crushing rejection soured my entire college career.

Not likely.

In monkey news...
JERUSALEM - A young monkey at an Israeli zoo has started walking on its hind legs only after a near death experience.
Natasha, a 5-year-old black macaque at the Safari Park near Tel Aviv, began walking exclusively on her hind legs after a stomach ailment nearly killed her, zookeepers said.

Monkeys usually alternate between upright movement and walking on all fours.

It took you all of 2 posts after your return from, um, hiatus to post about me.

It's touching. Really.

For some monkeys, it takes a life-threatening illness. Me, the prospect of FBetties will make me upright. Walking upright, too.

Thanks/insults go to Gattigap, my prolific ghostwriter...

I am going to Russia next month and can hardly wait - http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/eu....ap/index.html - where the drunk flight attendants beat up the passengers.

Refreshing in-your-face honesty is so 2002. Y'ever notice that the people who really excel at refreshing in-your-face honesty are recovering alcoholics and drug addicts? Lying and getting away with it; now that takes discipline. For example, non-recovering alcoholics and drug addicts.

As for who's hot and who's not in D.C., who cares? The entire town is populated with the "winners" of Patch popularity contests, and look where that gets us.
