THANK GOD.
Lisa de Moraes of the Washington Post has announced that the CW has ordered six episodes of the Blonde Charity Mafia.
"Interestingly, CW is calling the show a "docu-series," which implies a fact-based-ness of which other reality series are not accused...
By all accounts those "alpha girls" are Katherine Kennedy, Krista Johnson and Sophie Pyle, who've been this show's protagonists since way back when it was a gleam in Lifetime cable network's eye.
Lifetime eventually took a powder on the project, which then got pitched to CW, and the rest is reality-history.
Sadly, none of these protagonists are included in the latest list, nearly 300 strong, of our city's under-40 social elite drawn up by local society bible Washington Life. In fairness, one of them is still an undergrad at the University of North Carolina.
According to CW, the blonde charity mafia's events "are the hottest ticket in town and everyone vies for an invitation -- from Congressmen to Hill staffers" and their exploits are posted on a web site "for the D.C. public to devour.'"

God loves a cheerful giver.
I hope the economic downturn really happens, and hits their parents very very hard. God I will laugh like hell.
way more importantly: ken layne of wonkette WILL LIVE BLOG THIS. And as I stand here and swear on all sorts of things: we will live blog this being liveblogged.
But Michael, if the downturn hits their parents hard, how are they going to give to charity?
Doctor No:
Who cares?
I lived to see this finally take place. Just watch the episodes unfold. You won't live to regret it. Myself, I will not miss one for the world.
Wow, this will definitely be interesting. It may leave some of us in a state of depression, for which the cure is most certainly checking out: http://positivelypresent.typepad.com

i like the WaPo mention of this today in the style section. they love to hate this as much as we do. they even mention the "invite only networking site" - god, lns has a tv show. why doesn't byt?
Oh my God - if BYT had a TV show. Someone should work on a video channel or something for BYT..........
Amanda if BYT had a TV show how could LNS be made fun of here?
michael, you make a very good point.
