Millie's MILF-ies - OUCH

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I feel like I live with my head in a bubble. I went to Millie's once and didn't even realize or notice any of this. I was probably dressed in Old Navy because that is like 80% of my wardrobe. The only thing I remember about it was that it was too expensive for what it was so we never went back. But there is like a whole social dynamic happening I am oblivious to I guess.

You probably aren’t as insecure as the author clearly is. Insecure people tend to make monsters out of people who aren’t like them, especially when those people are wealthy.

I am you, PP. I have been to Millie's many times, because I like their strong cocktails and in the gastronomic desert that is AU Park and Spring Valley, I like their food. I live in the neighborhood and I can walk to Millie's.
I have never noticed these MILFies. I wouldn't recognize a Goyard bag or $500 sneakers. I think I will skip Millie's from now on. I don't think I want to patronize such a place.

But if you, like the other PP, don't notice or care about what supposedly happens there and you like to go, why would you stop going? If you've been there and haven't noticed this "scene", what makes you think what she says is happening is really happening? No one went on the record, if you notice. It's all anonymous quotes. This article reads like a hit job on the place written by someone with an agenda. It isn't a review of the restaurant itself... it's a poorly written fluff piece with no real point except to make fun of people who go there. If you stop going, mission accomplished for the author.

I live in Spring Valley and we go because the vibe is fun and we always see people we know. There's something wonderful about a neighborhood spot. My kids can walk there alone to get ice cream. My husband and I can leave the kids home and walk down for a date night drink. Somehow this article implies that is seen as a bad thing. The writer sounds both jealous and, like, insecure, you know? Her writing is juvenile and so is her attitude. If you really think people are paying that much attention to you, get over yourself.

Oh my lord, if this is satire, well done.

Because now that I know what is going on there, I will feel out of place. I will also start looking around and wonder who these people are who all know each other. Before this article, I did not even know that there was an in crowd. That there were MILF-ies. It is now impossible to ignore.

No, I wrote it sincerely, I like having a place to walk to that is fun and my kids enjoy. I am probably someone the writer would make fun of, even if I don't carry a $1200 bag or wear $500 shoes, just because I live in Spring Valley and somewhat fit the stereotype she skewered. Sounds like you'd find fault with me no matter what I wore or did, but I don't really care. I am happy with my life, my friends (at Millie's or other places) and my shoes. You do you, I will do me, and we can all agree the frose is very strong.

PP - ok. Sorry, I honestly did think you were being satirical.

So you are making the assumption that what someone wrote in Washingtonian, with no cited sources, is 1) truthful and accurate and 2) so egregious that you'd stop going someplace you enjoy to avoid people who know each other but don't know you? Why are you worried about an "in-crowd" you never noticed before or had any interaction with? That is sad.

NP. I think the inclusion of "The writer sounds both jealous and, like, insecure, you know?" makes it read like satire. I read it in my Gretchen Wieners voice.

I think the person who wrote the article lacks confidence and wishes they were part of the "in group" in high school. Go if you like it and don't if you don't...but don't be put off by some silly article.

There are things you cannot un see and un know.

Satire PP -- exactly! I was wondering if the poster's dad invented toaster strudel. That and " If you really think people are paying that much attention to you, get over yourself."

It's a great place for a drink and a chance to chat with neighbors about something other than what's left in the ground in Spring Valley.

Oh grow up. Sometimes a restaurant is just a restaurant. This one happens to attract people in the neighborhood. If you live in the neighborhood and can walk there you are already living the life and fraternizing with those people whether you go to Millie's or not. These are the same people who are in Turtle Park and other local places. So you might as well go to Millie's and enjoy the food and drink.
