Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) was named 2009’s most beautiful person on Capitol Hill by The Hill newspaper this week. Oh right, we meant to link to The Hill newspaper’s 50 Most Beautiful 2009 feature, aka the annual “Hill Hotties” list, which hit the stands earlier this week. As is tradition, we turn to DCist alum Jason Linkins, aka DCeiver and now of the Huffington Post, for the crucial analysis:What makes The Hill’s annual listicle…

While SFist cringed at the fatal dose of crime littering the Bay Area, it found solace in Hillary Clinton’s San Francisco campaign headquarters opening, which featured loads of exposed mammary glands. In other news, SF Taxi Commission ruled that Satan’s cab must keep its (in)famous medallion number, 666; and in an un-fashion-forward frenzy, San Francisco Fashion Week (chortle) bars bloggers from covering and getting smashed at their shows and parties, respectively. Also, they found a…

Expect minor traffic delays along the route. [WJLA] >> Is a Rita’s Water Ice coming to the Washington Convention Center area?

Wasabi Wa-opens I have been searching for a good cafeteria-style Japanese place for a while. Since I’d be happy to go to Kotobuki every single day for lunch if it weren’t in Outer Mongolia, the opening of Wasabi gives me great joy. Conveniently located at 17th and I Streets, NW, for you downtowners, it’s a welcome addition to a scene dominated by places like the Park Place Gourmet. While my lunchtime map is roughly bordered…

Yesterday, we received an e-mail that nearly fell to its death in the spam filter. Hidden among Nigerian flim-flam scams, phishing attempts, and advertisements for products purporting to be able to enlarge our manhood (this morning’s: “Does 8 incches enough 4 U?”) was a message advising us that DC Style magazine seemed to be holding a “10 Hottest Chefs in DC” competition. First thing that sprang to mind? Glamour shots of cooking hotties sporting nothing…

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…

Instead of finding fault in the metrobus system, we’ve found something to smile about. This Craigslist post from a 24 year-old male seeks advice on how to pick up attractive females on the D1/Glover Park rush hour bus. I just have to say that riding the D1 bus each morning wakes me up better than a cup of coffee. The bus is hopping with hot women. The trouble is how to approach them about drinks…

DCist always enjoys taking a look through the Craigslist missed connections every once and a while to get a chuckle or two, e.g. “4 Hotties in Bethesda Chipotle @ 7:PM!”, “Crying on the Yellow Line” and “MC with a weatherman.” But this one caught our eye, not because anyone affiliated with DCist was at McFaddens on Saturday night, but because we think we could wager a good guess as to who may have penned the…
