Fighting poverty is fabulous, darling!

When we ponder glamour and fashion we can’t help thinking of U.S. Reps. Phil Gingrey and John Linder. We’re sure you do, too.

The two Georgia Republicans are among 90 members of the House and Senate listed as honorary hosts of an event dubbed “Wine, Women & Shoes” at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in D.C. Wednesday night.

No one told us so, but we suspect it’s all about Gingrey shaving his mustache.

WW&S is comprised of “Washington’s most prominent women,” according to the group’s PR folks, who dubbed the fete “Glam meets a good cause.” WW&S raises money each year to benefit just one advocacy group. This year’s beneficiary is ONE: The campaign to Make Poverty History, which focuses on making clean water and education available to the poor.

And what better way to “make poverty history” then with high-heeled ladies, finger food and Gingrey and Linder dodging the paparazzi?
