Washington Social Diary (no, I don't read that, it's amazing it exists, but it was linked from New York Social Diary) has an illuminating
feature on a party last week thrown by the Capital Club, which it charitably describes as
a "male bastion for those who will eventually transition into the aging establishment." First of all, it's Capitol, but whatever.
Secondly, the pictures look my breath away, in a bad way. The
Capitol Capital Club appears to comprise dudes who look like this (and two of them are actually named Win and Fritz):
Oh, and also dudes who dress like this:
And the girls who love them, who are both those dumb bitches who take forever in the bathroom at a bar you didn't want to go to anyway because it's full of these people (and in Adams Morgan)/probably interns in Foggy Bottom.
Anyway, in the nasty spirit of this post, I hereby reprint below, courtesy of NY Social Diary, the
Capitol Capital Club's "private" membership list. I have looked over it and am relieved to see no one I know, short of Luke Russert, whom I don't actually know, but who I thought was somewhat above this. Also, it's giving me some great baby name ideas. Bo and Ford and Houston and King, oh my! Enjoy!

Hey don't hate on the summer look of what used to be called the "prep" set. Personally I have Rhode Island/Nantucket reds (slacks) and some madras shorts - they go well with my white bucks!
ReplyDeleteA quick google search has confirmed what I already suspected. You are an idiot:
ReplyDelete"Capital" should be used.
Capitol
1.The building used by US Congress
2.A building used by a state legislature
Capital
1. the city or town that is the official seat of government
2. a city regarded as being of special eminence in some field of activity
3. An asset or advantage
Please be more miserable.
Hilarious. And I've actually been there for drinks but that was like 8 years ago and it was a way older, fat guy drinking Bourbon crowd then.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that the use of Capitol is customary around DC to denote things involving the District, not just the building, so it really is a free-for-all in terms of Capitol/Capital. That said, these kinds of clubs make me a little sick to my stomach... as do those wonderful blazers depicted above. If that makes me 'miserable', give me some aspirin and an ice pack, because I'm miserable.
