I never thought about it until I spoke to a woman named Tina.  She's lived in Washington, D.C. for many years and she studied fashion.
Let's hear Tina as she answers the question, "How long have you lived in Washington, D.C.?"
Seven administrations.
Oh, I bet she has.  And with her background in fashion, Tina has a really interesting view of D.C. that involves the connection between politics, society and fashion.
Oh, let's hear from Tina as she compares the Democrats and the Clinton administration who she feels are more hip, more liberal, with the more conservative Republican Party.
Oh, sure.  Hip is spelled H-I-P.  If a person if "hip" they are in sync or in step with fashion.
Exactly!  Here's Tina.
I'd say, since the Clinton administration it has become much more hip because the Clinton's brought in a much younger, hipper, much more liberal crowd which is much open and less conservative clothing.
You got it.  The pulse P-U-L-S-E of the city changes overnight.
Talking about the former President Clinton, another difference is that he often had free concerts on the Mall where he brought in bands from all over the world.
