The guest of honor at the Creative Coalition’s Membership Meeting on Thursday, June 18, at the HBO terrace was White House social secretary Desiree Rogers. Actor-socialite Matthew Modine stopped by but split after the first five minutes, as did Creative Coalition co-president Tony Goldwyn (“he had to be somewhere,” explained co-president Tim Daly).

Actress Dana Delaney moderated a forum with Ms. Rogers, who spoke about the White House becoming the people’s house, and its role in inspiring students and children. “I’ve never done this before,” Ms. Delany exclaimed beforehand.

The adorable Desperate Housewife also talked about the first lady’s style, saying, “I personally am excited that Michelle Obama wears J. Crew ‘cause I’m a J.Crew addict.”

Of Ms. Rogers, Ms. Delaney added: “She’s … so brilliant, and yet so accessible. She’s like your girlfriend! You just want to hang out with her!” And her style? “Extremely chic.” Ms. Delaney’s YSL dress matched Ms. Rogers’ red and black ensemble. “Don’t you think we’re very well coordinated?” the moderator asked the audience. Later, she exulted: “I’m just happy to see sexy back in the White House.”

*headdesk* They spelt her last name wrong.. AGAIN. I think she should start wearing a name tag, she could color coordinate them while bringing sexy back. Can anybody else hear her saying “Extremely chic.”? I’m having this Jay Leno flashback where she described the women in the Amazon as “so sexy.”
