Newspaper of District L co-editor Nicolas Sera-Leyva's hometown of Washington DC, The Washington Post, recently began running a web-based video segment on DC Street Fashion called "Scene-In".

I watched it today, and was not impressed. I know 5 more stylish people in DC for every 1 they showed in that segment. Not to brag- but seriously people, come on.

DC is not known as a fashion capital by any extent- it has a burgeoning design scene limited more to Graphic and Industrial, but when it comes to fashion plates we have been weighed and found wanting (with the notable exception of Michelle Obama, of course). Also, Dupont Circle is probably not the best place to go scouting for local style- DC's gayborhood is overrun with cargo shorts, tank tops, and fag hags in H&M.

Hopefully on the next segment of "Scene-In", yours truly will be making a much needed appearance.
