Monica Lewinsky Slides Into A Revealing Dress For Oscars Party
Dayum, girl!
Bill Clinton's 1990s mistress, Monica Lewinsky, who doesn't seem to be in a relationship these days, had the single (and probably the married guys) howling last night at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
The 51-year-old former White House intern, who is trying to reinvent herself as a podcaster with a focus on "Reclaiming" one's life, had all the Lib usual suspects screaming YAASSSS QUEEEN on Instagram after showing off her revealing black dress.

The attempt to turn Lewinsky into a star since her podcast dropped on President's Day seems to be working. A 90-day Google Trends report shows a sharp increase in Google mentions and buzz since Monday, February 17 when promotion of the podcast ramped up.
In the last seven days, Lewinsky has been a bigger name on Google than Jennifer Lopez. Let that sink in. That's a credit to Lewinsky's publicist who has her on late-night TV shows, on the Today Show and at Vanity Fair parties.
Why now for a Lewinsky career reboot? In November, America will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Slick Willie and Lewinsky began their romantic affair. The nostalgia will be thick this year as news outlets start to key in on that anniversary. On October 11, Bill and Hillary Clinton will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.
Lewinsky has said that her first sexual encounter with Bill happened on November 15, 1995, just over a month after the Clintons celebrated their 20th anniversary.
You get the picture. This year is going to be huge.
We're talking about two entire generations that have no memory of what went down with Bill and Monica in the Oval Office.
For those of you who weren't alive, this is a good chance to go get caught up on what reportedly went down between President Clinton and the White House intern.
#neverforget
Ms. Lewinsky testified that her physical relationship with the President included oral sex but not sexual intercourse. According to Ms. Lewinsky, she performed oral sex on the President; he never performed oral sex on her. Initially, according to Ms. Lewinsky, the President would not let her perform oral sex to completion.
In Ms. Lewinsky’s understanding, his refusal was related to ‘‘trust and not knowing me well enough.’’ During their last two sexual encounters, both in 1997, he did ejaculate. According to Ms. Lewinsky, she performed oral sex on the President on nine occasions. On all nine of those occasions, the President fondled and kissed her bare breasts. He touched her genitals, both through her underwear and directly, bringing her to orgasm on two occasions. On one occasion, the President inserted a cigar into her vagina. On another occasion, she and the President had brief genital-to-genital contact.
Lewinsky testified that her first sexual experience with Slick Willie took place on November 15, 1995, about a month after Bill and Hillary celebrated their 20th anniversary.
On that date, she entered the White House at 1:30 p.m., left sometime thereafter (White House records do not show the time), reentered at 5:07 p.m., and departed at 12:18 a.m. on November 16.
The President was in the Oval Office or the Chief of Staff’s office (where Ms. Lewinsky worked during the furlough) for almost the identical period that Ms. Lewinsky was in the White House that evening, from 5:01 p.m. on November 15 to 12:35 a.m. on November 16.
According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President made eye contact when he came to the West Wing to see Mr. Panetta and Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes, then again later at an informal birthday party for Jennifer Palmieri, Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff.
At one point, Ms. Lewinsky and the President talked alone in the Chief of Staff’s office. In the course of flirting with him, she raised her jacket in the back and showed him the straps of her thong underwear, which extended above her pants.
En route to the restroom at about 8 p.m., she passed George Stephanopoulos’s office. The President was inside alone, and he beckoned her to enter. She told him that she had a crush on him. He laughed, then asked if she would like to see his private office. Through a connecting door in Mr. Stephanopoulos’s office, they went through the President’s private dining room toward the study off the Oval Office.
Ms. Lewinsky testified: ‘‘We talked briefly and sort of acknowledged that there had been a chemistry that was there before and that we were both attracted to each other and then he asked me if he could kiss me.’’
Ms. Lewinsky said yes.
In the windowless hallway adjacent to the study, they kissed. Before returning to her desk, Ms. Lewinsky wrote down her name and telephone number for the President.
At about 10 p.m., in Ms. Lewinsky’s recollection, she was alone in the Chief of Staff’s office and the President approached. He invited her to rendezvous again in Mr. Stephanopoulos’s office in a few minutes, and she agreed.
Asked if she knew why the President wanted to meet with her, Ms. Lewinsky testified: ‘‘I had an idea.’’
They met in Mr. Stephanopoulos’s office and went again to the area of the private study. This time the lights in the study were off. According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President kissed. She unbuttoned her jacket; either she unhooked her bra or he lifted her bra up; and he touched her breasts with his hands and mouth.
Ms. Lewinsky testified: ‘‘I believe he took a phone call * * * and so we moved from the hallway into the back office. * * * [H]e put his hand down my pants and stimulated me manually in the genital area.’’
While the President continued talking on the phone (Ms. Lewinsky understood that the caller was a Member of Congress or a Senator), she performed oral sex on him.
He finished his call, and, a moment later, told Ms. Lewinsky to stop. In her recollection: ‘‘I told him that I wanted * * * to complete that. And he said * * * that he needed to wait until he trusted me more. And then I think he made a joke * * * that he hadn’t had that in a long time.’’
