Friday night at Clarendon Ballroom felt like a nightmarish sorority semi-formal, when hordes of mostly twenty-something women stormed Arlington for HOT 99.5’s Lil’ Black Dress Party.
Party host Perez Hilton, aka Mario Lavendeira, has captured the minds of the celebrity-obsessed with his questionable photoshop skills and invented words, such as “whoreanous.” We’re going to borrow the term just this once (forgive us) and call the scene outside of the ballroom whoreanus. A line of mostly girls stretched back around the block, many of them wondering aloud to friends or into cell phones about their chances of getting in. Those that didn’t–and there were quite a few–could be seen wobbling away on stilettos in a huff.
The self-proclaimed queen of all media granted interviews beforehand to the Washington Post, People magazine and other outlets. We wanted to know if he was serious about a posting earlier in the day that speculated about a Jenna Bush/Henry Hager pregnancy.
“I wouldn’t put it past her, she better have that wedding fast so it’s not illegitimate.”
