Washington, D.C., may not be a locale frequently visited by the flaws and foibles of A-List celebrities, but the nexus of power and politics nevertheless yields a generous supply of dish. Washingtonians know where to get their gossip, and they have a decent array of choice: such as kitten-with-a-whip Wonkette, the above-the-fray Reliable Source Richard Leiby, the unbuttoned back pages of The Hill and Roll Call’s “Heard on the Hill,” the window into vicarious living offered by Kelly Ann Collins, a wide array of snarky bloggers … even this DCist’s friend Rahaleh, who totally knows this guy in L.A. who made out with Parminder Nagra in that episode of “ER” a few weeks ago!
But let’s say that all these resources haven’t slaked your thirst for gossip — or, better yet, let’s say you’re in your front yard, trapped underneath a newly fallen tree, and the only thing within your sightlines as you lay there, straining to breathe, waiting for paramedics to arrive and extricate you is the mouldering pile of Examiners littering your lawn that they simply will … not … stop … delivering to you no matter how you threaten, wheedle and cajole with them “for the love of all that is holy” to cease their senseless quasi-journalistic vandalism and bypass your house. Well then, you are in luck, because Karen Feld (seen here in a photo from Washington Life with her dog Campari at the 50th anniversary of the Georgetowner) is on the case, providing the Examiner’s handful of readers with a juicy dollop of gossipy goodness tailor-made for those occasions where there’s nothing else within reach to read.
While this DCist doesn’t live in a neighborhood considered good enough to qualify for the Examiner’s unique method of distribution, browsing out to Karen’s website provided a rich vein of material that ably tells Feld’s story and shows off her singular attributes. Vistors are greeted by the well-coiffed and smiling visage of the woman herself, clutching an adorable poodle that she apparently intends to later fillet and serve over a freshly tossed Caesar salad. A generous menu of selections help the visitor come to know and love her multi-faceted personality.
