You know it’s August and the news has slowed down considerably when everybody starts running their “Who’s The Hottest fillintheblank” type polls. The Hill ran their 50 Most Beautiful (which was appropriately snarked by the DCeiver, who in turn got a mention in Newsweek!); Gawker‘s already done a bunch of hottie media types; and now FishbowlDC is running their own media Hot-A-Thon, featuring several members of the D.C. media elite. The categories are Hottest On-Air (both male and female), Best Dressed (Leon Harris, at right, was the choice of many), and Hottest Off-Air (male and female).
The folks who made the nominations include some ladies from new D.C. lux mags D.C. Style and Capitol File; more than a few Post people are included as is Amanda McClements, the author of our favorite new food blog, Metrocurean.
Any list like this is sure to miss out on a few key players, though; several DCists are of the opinion that Michelle Sigona, traffic reporter for Fox 5 News, should have been included. Others think Hank Stuever, staff writer at the Post, was overlooked. And what of the lack of DCist writers in the list? We are shocked, shocked. What, slaving away in front of the blue glow of a computer screen does not a hottie make?
