So sorry ladies, but the gleefulness about the "MILFies" moniker is kind of gross and also SO not true. This is a normal/mediocre place with normal/mediocre looking women and men. I've never seen anyone there that is truly stunning and I have been there many, many times.

Normal looking families and children frequent the place and yes, everyone does know everyone so that is kind of fun! Also nice to let the kids walk to get ice cream and walk to pick up dinner as the neighborhood sorely lacked anything great for a while.

The author's tone was juvenile as were the quotes from 40 somethings who overused the word "like" a la an 80's Valley Girl wanna be.

Golden Goose sneakers are ugly as are Goyard bags. Also, cross body bags are a definite no no!

Huge fail on all accounts.

This really is the funniest part of the piece. It's not some hot spot in NY or LA where the beautiful people congregate - it's a suburban strip mall restaurant with a patio where people go because of lack of other choices. The notion that people go there to "be seen" is ludicrous.

Sums up this area, in general, quite nicely.

I don't live in DC and have never been to Millies (either one) but I do know the type of place it is. It's popular among affluent upper middle class people, who keep themselves fit and in shape and dress nicely. I'll agree it won't be glamorous because there's only a handful of places in the whole country where glamorous people congregate (NYC, Miami and LA and few resorty areas). Because it's popular with people who have a comfortable life, and it shows, there will always be those who feel outside and excluded, even if in reality that's not the case at all.

+1. This is a strange and provincial article. DC isn’t a glamorous city. There are way more places like Millie’s in other cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, etc. Women in DC typically don’t wear high end clothing or carry luxury bags like they do in other cities. The journalist most likely has never spent a lot of time in other cities so he or she really thinks Millie’s is unique.

PP's must be just bored?

I have newer gotten this vibe from Millie's. That said, I typically (always) am there for dinner, not the bar scene after 9:00.

Any place that serves Frose (which I had to Google) does seem like it would attract this element, though.

Right, just wondering why people post comments on a place they have never been, in a city where they don't live followed by more sweeping generalizations. Tis dcum

I don’t know how cool it can get so close to a crate and barrel.

Same - looked it up wondering if they were cute. No.

And the bags are cotton!!!!!

I looked up the Hermès evelyne - so sad.

I went tonight. Good food -- nothing fancy. Everyone had cheap polyester fleece on...there was not a single "fashion plate" in the place.

It's every day wear for SAHMs. Nothing special.

Goyard and Golden Goose are ugly as hell anyway.

The Emperor has not clothes comes to mind.

You do realize that most American women, SAHMs or not, don't wear yoga pants that cost $100-200 apiece as everyday wear, right?

I’m a Bethesda mom. I’d never heard of goyard or golden goose before this thread. I have one pair of yoga pants that I bought at Costco that I wear occasionally to the gym. I would love an ice cream place in walking distance to our house though and would probably go even if people wear those things. Frose sounds super gross, though.

My husband teaches at AU and knows students who work there. He asked a couple about the article and they laughed and said it's just a bunch of rich white moms who don't tip particularly well. I've been there for lunch with him a few times and I didn't notice anything special about the clientele, they're just the same, boring people who have always lived in AU Park/Wesley Heights. It's likely that they made up the term "MILFie" themselves OR the college kids who work there made up that term to make FUN of them. It's clearly not a serious thing. There is nothing f*ckable about that crowd, lol!

That's the point, it's not cool, it's boring.

I’m a Bethesda mom. I’d never heard of goyard or golden goose before this thread. I have one pair of yoga pants that I bought at Costco that I wear occasionally to the gym. I would love an ice cream place in walking distance to our house though and would probably go even if people wear those things. Frose sounds super gross, though.

Right. Bethesda moms aren’t that fashionable. Bethesda is an average UMC suburb. Very few extremely fashionable women live there.

I’ve been to MILFies a few times. Cocktails are good, bar scene fun for people watching and food is mediocre. Haven’t had the ice cream yet - how is it ?

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.

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.

Hahaha oh man that actually makes it way funnier that you didn’t intend for it to be satire. Literally laughing out loud over here.

MILF doesn't mean super glamorous or looking like a model or something.

It came from American Pie / Stifler's Mom.

The article was funny. I'm a Bethesda mom who doesn't have any of those brands and can't afford spring valley but Millie's has a fun vibe.
