the lorde's prayer.

you've probably noticed fewer blog posts recently. we've been totally absorbed with laying down tracks in the studio for our first hit single, "tennis court." it's a completely original song created by compiling excerpts from our journal entries over the last few weeks. it's all about our internships and relationships with the insipid zombies who surround us. yesterday we filmed this innovative music video for our platinum hit single. we hope you enjoy it. thank you to everyone at mtv for your continued support both financially and creatively.

feel free to download this video for offline viewing on-the-go (helpful hint: watch it on repeat in your private helicopter as you jet off to santorini--our favorite casual weekend getaway) OR share it on all your social media accounts.

BREAKING: we just unearthed a video uploaded a year ago of an imitator recreating our video (with inferior visual effects and sound quality). we will be confronting this "artist" immediately, and mtv will be seeking legal action.

pathetic camera resolution and lighting

dying to be exactly like us?

is that you, tilda swinton?

revlon super lustrous lipstick creme in black cherry (color 477). put on your lips.

revlon photoready airbrush mousse makeup in vanilla (color 010). generously coat face and neck for ghostly white complexion.

covergirl under eye concealer in light (color 710). smother over eyebrows and
top/bottom lashes to make them completely disappear (gorgeous!).

do you think madeline looks bang-able with this new look? would you tap that? tell us in the comments section. remember, we want to use this space to celebrate women's empowerment.

did you recreate the look at home? instagram your photos and tag @thecapitolhills.

red, white, and cumin

the fourth of july is the one day in the year tourists from all over the country storm the streets of Capitol Hill. as kevin (read about him here) sings in his second best song, "my city, my city, my home." as d.c. socialites, we daringly braved a night on the town, despite fears of encountering the paparazzi and our obsessive, violent fans.

mtv kept us in the studio late working on our title sequence (coming soon, but we'll include a sneak preview for our readers below), so we missed the fireworks viewing from our friends' rooftop soiree. when we got there, we stood in a corner of the rooftop deck, the potomac river breeze blowing through our hair, singing "all by myself..." quietly to ourselves. (what? nobody was talking to us. they weren't very pleased about the mtv camera crew following us everywhere)

sneak peak at our new title sequence we're working on with mtv.

then we did club drugs.

snorting cumin. please do not try this at home
(unless you want to be exactly like us).

cumin is one of the hottest club drugs on The Hill rite now. it was laced with a few other spices for an extra kick. in true d.c. style, madeline used her smarttrip to split lines for all the interns.

once we were loaded up like amy winehouse, we hit the clubs, obviously.

livin' at tropicalia with my bitches. 

kisses for katie from an adoring fan.

fans everywhere.

we soon grew fatigued by the normalcy of all those around us, their simple pleasures and vapid babblings.

"don't you think that it's boring how people talk

making smart with their words again, well, i'm bored."

so we went home to blog. happy fourth of july.
