You dream of a life in politics, you get into the right college, you get good grades, you make the right connections, you land a good job in D.C., you work hard and finally, FINALLY somebody notices …. you’re beautiful.
That’s how it happened for 2005 Bainbridge High grad Zach Mallove, who was ranked number six in The Hill’s 50 most beautiful people working at the nation’s capital.
“These days life may be ‘beautiful’ for Zach Mallove, but his start on Capitol Hill wasn’t quite as pretty,” begins the Hill’s profile of the 24-year-old legislative aide for Sen. Patty Murray.
The unprettiness Mallove had to overcome was the D.C. subway system. A subway mixup on his first day made him 45 minutes late (possibly also due to what he admits is a lengthy morning grooming routine).
Arriving late was “obviously, not the best first impression,” Mallove told The Hill.
But what he lacked in punctuality was surely made up for in beauty. He got to keep his job and “he’s likely got a long career ahead of him,” declared the Seattle Weekly after reading the Hill’s profile.
