Biography

Desperate in DC is a web log devoted to the dark, seamy underbelly of life in Washington DC. From the cutthroat competition to get one's child into private school to the endless (and dreary) round of fundraisers that constitute a happening social life in this town, we intend to expose the absurdity and humor of it all.

If you've ever felt the urge to laugh out loud at the idea of having to dress-up for car pool; if you've ever looked around at PTA meetings and wondered what you were doing in a roomful of middle-aged adults; and if you can't stop dressing like your pre-teen daughter, then this blog is for you.


C. is a liberal, thirty-something lawyer and married mother of four, whose tenth wedding anniversary in no way post-dates the birth of her oldest child.

P. is a conservative, thirty-something PR consultant and married mother of two, who would like to point out that she is NOT pregnant to everyone who asks. You try acquiring the washboard stomach of a twenty-year old after giving birth to a 9lb 15oz child.

Both women reside in Washington DC. This is the decidedly un-PC, slightly sensationalized and hopefully amusing account of their everyday lives.
