Model, Entrepreneur, Designer (Be Jealous)
Lauren Bush -- G.W.’s niece, G.H.W.’s granddaughter and Marvin’s daughter -- was in town to celebrate her appearance on the dramatic cover of Capitol File's spring issue.
The anthrolopogy major from Princeton didn't exactly seem destined to wind up in the fashion business. Bush had modeled while in high school and college, but quit after graduation (or so she'd thought).
"It was something I sort of fell into, but enjoyed because it gave me a unique and fun introduction to the fashion industry," Bush said. "I was attracted to studying anthropology in college because I have always loved traveling and have always been fascinated with other cultures and traditions.”
So how did she go from being a model to an advocate of world hunger?

'Monogamy': Scarier Than You'd Think
Anxiety and boredom, not to mention clandestine attractions, beg to tear a couple apart prior to their impending marriage in "Monogamy."
In the film, Academy Award-nominated Dana Adam Shipiro (for his documentary "Muderball") chronicles a couple on the brink of disaster. Wedding photographer Theo (Chris Messina), makes it perfectly clear to the audience that he is bored to death with his situation -- so much so that it if "Subgirl" (Meietal Dohan) hadn't come along, Theo's boredom might have had the same effect on the audience.
Subgirl is a tantalizing exhibitionist who hires Theo to capture her voyeuristic antics on camera. While she's good for the viewers, she's not so good for Theo's fiancée Nat (Rashida Jones). The movie is a portrayal of everyday life in slow motion with a twist at the end.
Niteside caught up with co-director/producer Shapiro -- also a former Spin Magazine editor -- who explained the flick this way: http://www.nbcwashington.com/blogs/niteside/Monogamy-Scarier-Than-Youd-Think.html
