We Love It!

Matt Welch | October 31, 2005

Don't hold your breath that Plamegate the Movie will soon take Hollywood by storm, at least judging by the scientific method of the Halloween party I attended Saturday night. Like I presume one-third the population of Adams-Morgan, a friend of mine dressed up as a very credible Judith Miller. Only problem -- almost none of the assembled Hollywood riff-raff (including several journalists, and, er, me) had any idea who she was. "So you're a reporter, huh? Oh, from the New York Times. Yeah, I guess you look like a New York Times reporter," etc. It took far less cross-examination to figure out Katie Holmes.

Did the guy dressed as Matt Welch get a lot of puzzled looks, too?

To my surprise, yes.

It was probably the Afro wig that threw them off.

I thought that was Welch wearing the sweet Barry Newman "Vanishing Point" aviator sunglasses.

I was trying for a David Soul vibe. I mean, even more than usual.

Parking Garage scene: "You're either with us, or you're against us." (cue sweet Lalo Schifrin score)

You know Welch, harboring fascist, murderous police officer fantasies clashes with your libertarian vanguard status.

Just kidding, BTW the white feather boa clad guest was compelling, if you know what I mean.

You can take the boy out of Long Beach, etc.
