: Jessica Cutler — aka The Washingtonienne — poses for Playboy.com (you have to pay and I’m not paying) and gives an interview (I just read the articles, you know).
Playboy.com: What would people be most surprised to know about life inside the Beltway?
Jessica Cutler: People like to pretend that money and looks don’t matter, but they do. It’s supposed to be a big meritocracy, but people here are just as shallow as anywhere else. The thing about D.C. is it’s not Miami or New York where there are all these hot people everywhere. I’m cute by New York standards, but when I came here, my stock just shot up fast. Also, people who have so much to lose can’t help themselves.
Playboy.com: What advice would you give to someone starting a blog?
Jessica Cutler: With a blog, you can’t expect your private life to be private anymore. You just never know. But, when you work on the Hill you find out the guy you’ve been sleeping with has told everyone in your office about it. So, what’s the difference? It’s writing on the bathroom wall.
Playboy.com: Are your blog and your novel going to be the final nails in the coffin for attractive young women being interns in Washington? What father would send his little girl to Capitol Hill?
Jessica Cutler: I don’t think so. It might encourage more men to come to Washington, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
What, no Wonkette?
Flehsbot has a sneak peak. Not work safe. Not Capitol safe.
