Jennifer Sergent, formerly with Scripps Howard, is reporting on her “DC by Design” blog today that journalists and pundits are to take a star turn in the trailer by Sex and the City set decorator Ondine Karady (above).

Karady wants to spruce up DC, and is shopping around a reality show called “Designing D.C.” (Shockingly, Karady believes D.C. lacks style.)

An excerpt from Sergent’s story:
Ondine gave me the video with the condition that I couldn’t post it directly, but I am allowed to describe it. Ondine, who is married to New York Times reporter James Rutenberg, obviously knows many high-profile journalists and pundits in town.

Those said to make regular appearances on the show: Ned Martel, a WaPo editor, Democratic consultant Karen Finney. Those who appear in the trailer: Nina Easton, Washington Bureau Chief for Fortune Magazine and FNC commentator and her husband, political strategist Russ Schriefer. She goes into their home to help with redecorating.

Other possible projects: find a dog house for President Obama; find a chair for V.P. Joe Biden.

What word do you routinely misspell? occasion, all the time

What’s the name of your cell phone ring? I think it’s called Radiance, or Radiant, or Radiation, or something. But I keep meaning to change it the theme song from “Shaft.”

What time did you get up this morning? 5:30.

When did you last cry and why? In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, when a very nice lady asked me how I keep my shit together despite the pressures of campaigning.

How many emails do you receive a day, roughly? Actual emails, about 30 or 40. Crap, about 30 or 40.

What’s your favorite letter? The purloined one.

What single person played the biggest role / had the biggest influence on your journalism career? I can’t single out one. Seth Lipsky taught me a great deal, but so did Michael Hirschorn, Gerry Marzorati and David Remnick. And a bunch of others.

When’s the last time you volunteered? Where? Jewish tradition states that a high form of giving is anonymous giving, so let me not answer this one.
