Whitman High School’s newspaper, Black & White, gives us a shout!
While hundreds of Bethesda residents are filing into mile-long lines for three-dollar cupcakes, fighting mercilessly over tiny parking spaces and relishing time spent buying organic groceries in Whole Foods, Paula Whyman, founder of Bethesda World News, tries to find the humor behind the whole situation.
Bloggers are talking about us. Or blogging. Whatever it is they do.

My yoga-toned sides ache from laughing so hard. It takes true wit to be funny without being mean spirited and you pass that test. Way, way above grade level.
Keep your comments coming! We like to hear nice things, as opposed to our usual state of merely hearing things. Our mothers will be especially pleased.

Born at sea to parents too interesting to raise her, she was schooled in whittling and the home arts by the Little Sisters of the Distressed Habit.

Alera Diego
Alera Diego is an award winning travel writer known for getting lost in every corner of the globe.

B. Baguette was born from a 200-year-old French starter. After narrowly escaping the set of Top Chef with its perfect crumb still intact, it is fulfilling its shelf-lifelong goal, loafing about and pursuing the life of the aesthete.
Emily Fielding
Emily Fielding is a longtime website editor and suspected closet exhibitionist. “The great thing about living in the Bethesda area is that when people ask me why I’m not wearing pants I tell them it’s because they’re too expensive.” After purchasing just the right sunglasses, the bag, the shoes, it makes total sense.
