In light of the Oscars tonight, there’s this tweet from Mike Madden, who was reporting from a White House dinner for Governors that also took place tonight:

Sign White House
isn’t the Oscars: Social secretary Desiree Rogers, asked who designed
her dress, replies, “I don’t know, actually.”

A sign that the White House was like the Oscars?

There’s an old saying that Washington is Hollywood for ugly people. With the Obamas in the White House, we may have to restrict that statement to Congress. And if you’ve seen her, you know that it is probably unusual that Ms. Rogers didn’t know what she was wearing.
