They didn't quite get it all scrubbed from cyberspace quickly enough. High School yearbooks from Holton Arms preparatory school (Bethesda, Maryland, 1982-1985) purportedly show Brett Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey-Ford as a wild party girl in a wild party era, with yearbook passages by classmates bragging of spending the night with adult men during "Beach Week" and enjoying male strippers in G-strings for "Sweet 16" birthday parties.
Let the slut shaming allegations begin. As Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's rape accuser today pulls back from an invited offer for Senate testimony, (saying through her attorney that a Friday deadline set by Republicans is quote, "arbitrary,") the inevitable levy break of background information allegedly reveals Christine Blasey-Ford as a prolific high school party girl who is alleged to have bragged to a friend of having 54 sexual partners prior to college. If true, the emergence of five high school yearbooks from exclusive college preparatory school, Holton Arms (Bethesda, Maryland) destroys Blasey-Ford's self portrayal as an innocent coed "church mouse" taken advantage of by an aggressive sexual predator.
Even summarizing the totality of what the yearbooks contain is difficult, given that it paints a picture of hedonistic, debauched teenage behavior in which Christine Blasey-Ford is alleged to have not only indulged but promoted and led as an acknowledged focal point of American Pie, or Animal House-style fraternizing with eager young men, often in (by Holton Arms classmates descriptions) alcohol-saturated social settings that left participants unable to recall exactly what had taken place. One excerpt from a yearbook entry detailed the philosophy of binge drinking to memory loss as a necessity of the Holton Arms party scene:
"Although these parties are unforgettable, they are only a memory lapse for most, since loss of consciousness is often an integral part of the party scene. Nothing emerges but a vague feeling of intense enjoyment when one tries to recall them. We were probably, you know, really tired and all.
One friend, (identified briefly on social media) alleges Blasey-Ford (Holton Arms, Class of 1984) suffered no memory loss whatsoever in describing and bragging about her sexual conquests and paramours, identifying 54 sexual partners between her junior year of high school and enrollment in college. The social media post (below) claims Blasey-Ford previously allegedly admitted to being an alcoholic in high school and regretted, "being so easy," in high school. She is alleged to have told the best friend that she had 54 sexual partners between 11th grade and enrollment in college. The post also identified Blasey-Ford as a liberal activist with an obvious sensitivity to Supreme Court ideology, once writing on social media, "Scalia-types must be banned from law!"
s quickly as the images began to emerge on social media Monday, Blasey-Fords supporters worked this week to scrub them or have them taken down from various outlets. The entries describe wild drunken romps with boys, binge drinking blackouts, birthday parties with male strippers and the benefits of passing out drunk to avoid guilt and shame of alleged sexual activity. On one yearbook page, a passage is dedicated to artful description of a Sweet 16 birthday party for one Blasey-Ford, Holton Arms classmate, complete with a male stripper wearing a gold G-string and dancing to the delight of the obviously underage attendees:
"The tenth grade taught us how to party also and Martha (redacted) usually provided the circumstances in which to do so. Celebrating her sweet sixteen or just the weekend. Martha managed to entertain her guests with her hospitality, her pool (after descummification), and her erotic male dancer, the latter in his gold G-string, being by far the most effective."
"Martha managed to entertain her guests with her hospitality and her erotic male dancer, the latter, in his gold G-string being by far the most effective."
"While dancing in the middle of coastal Highway, Ann [redacted last name] and friends picked up some men who passed out in their apartment "
Multiple Holton Arms yearbook entries show racy images purported to be Blasey-Ford in evocative clothing and sensuous repose, including photos of three minors dressed provocatively in Playboy Bunny and French maid costumes. (Redacted photos are allegedly much racier.) The caption describes underage high school girls dancing seductively in the middle of a highway during "Beach Week," and then enticing some (adult?) men to come back to their apartment for binge drinking and a night of whatever libidinous fun might have transpired:
"Beach week culminated the year for those of us lucky enough to go. With school and our minds in temporary recess, we were able to release all those troubling inhibitions of the past year. While dancing in the middle of coastal Highway, Ann [redacted last name] and friends picked up some men who passed out in their apartment "
Other passages hint at the dating habits and adventurous process of selecting boys for romantic interest and activity, indicating that some female members of the Holton Arms senior class preferred freshman and sophomore boys as their companions: Other seniors preferred to expand their horizons and date younger men, usually sophomores, who could bring the vitality and freshness of innocence to a relationship.
It's not clear who began redacting the photos and entries and who spearheaded the scrubbing operation that became a race against independent outlets who snapped up the photos as soon as they became public knowledge.
What is known is that Blasey-Ford avoided public revelation of her accusations until the conclusion of Kavanaugh's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings and now, shows no interest in meeting a Friday deadline to testify under oath to her allegation of sexual assault against him, which in context, even if it were true, seems one of the tamer things that might ever happened in her high school career in what public yearbook accounts reveal as a WASP-ish, elitist East Coast, upper crust bacchanal scene in the 1980's.
Multiple reports Thursday (9/20/18) indicated that Blasey-Ford was demanding the meeting of undisclosed conditions to testifying before the U.S. Senate concerning her claims against Kavanaugh, and that her attorney had termed a Friday deadline for such testimony to be, "arbitrary."
Exactly - tends to suggest it’s just made up crap - especially when you consider Holton is grades 3-12...not just a high school.
..and our GOPe senators are more than willing to cave to this feminist slut puppy.
Which ones are the biggest farce? Them or her?
Beady eyed whore. She would would have made Pig Night at my HS. That’s when everyone got a date with a known slut.
My thoughts precisely. The Holton Arms PTB actually though it relevant to their education to chronicle all the
drunkenness and promiscuity in their HS yearbook? The parents saw nothing wrong with this serial debauchery of their underage daughters?
Are you suggesting that these are fake yearbooks meant to generate an anti-slut shaming backlash?
I have been reading some speculation that this episode is the result of a deliberate disinformation campaign by rogue elements in the IC.
There have been so many bizarre developments of late that I am actually starting to believe this.
Nauseating......yet, we have to factor in the Republicans are between a rock and a hard place vis a vis the power-starved Democrats.
The feckless Dems brought out the midterm script.....and have already accused Pubs of meanness towards the slut....and of trying to silence her.
False strawman argument. The voters that matter arent buying it. Its plainly obvious to anyone with a functional brain that this slut is a fraud. Why are the GOPe succumbing to it?
These spineless slugs need to get out more and actually listen to the voters who placed them in office.
Not really - however - I do think this is a trap.
Here’s why.
Consider that Holton Arms and Georgetown Prep are just a few minutes/miles away from each other.
Are we going to believe that all the girls at Holton were these rampaging drunken horny sluts - while at the same time believing that Kavenaugh and Goresuch were solemnly sitting at their desks with their hands folded, focusing deeply on their education???
If your going to suggest this is cultural - your basically indicting Kavenaugh too. These people were all from the same neighborhood - same social class.
I hate to admit it - but Im left wondering why we get so excited about anyone with “Georgetown” anything as part of their vita.
I don’t believe this “Yearbook” — it’s a lot like the Russian dossier. Room for lots of mischief in its production.
But her political comments provide a noteworthy “motive” for making this accusation.
The Democrats have already raised the issue of the culture at Georgetown Prep. I have no doubt that there were wild times to be had by some there.
I think it is a mistake to assume that Kavanaugh participated in the more wild antics though.
He seems like pretty much of a straight arrow to me.
I attended Catholic schools from 1st grade through college.
I know and understand the type. They really do exist.
I read it much differently.
Behind closed doors, the promiscuous Holton Arms girls considered the Catholic boys their prey.
They plotted and schemed to seduce the Georgetown boys.
The Holton Arms culture backed them up.
It was considered a feather in their cap if the Holton Arms sluts got a Catholic boy to succumb to their “charms.”
Who knows? Maybe Holton Arms awarded prizes for these seductions?
Im an alum of a well regarded prep school 90 minutes north of Georgetown. We compete with GP in some sports.
When I say “culture” - I mean it in a broader way - a social class - not school specific.
The only divider is the non-coed schools - it’s the same people.
And you don’t think the Georgetown prep boys thought the same?
Hows this sound? Which is more likely?

I do definitely detect a sense of gloating, anti-Catholic bias in the support statement signed by many Holton Arms alumni.
Most all boys Catholic schools have a sister all girls Catholic school. I understand that Georgetown Prep had one, and this is where Kavanaughs former girlfriends who have given press interviews attended.
It is possible that Kavanaugh didnt really fraternize with Holton Arms girls. The common denominator, though, seems to be the exclusive country clubs in suburban MD.
An interesting asideit looks like Kavanaugh was an only child, and that both of his parents worked. It would be nice to know what sort of adult supervision he was under during his high school years.
I haven’t been able to figure out if Kavenaugh boarded at Geogetown Prep or was he a day student?
My understanding is that Holton-Arms is a day school only. Not a boarding school.
He lived nearby. I would think it unusual if he boarded there.
But my guess is that his parents had provisions for where he was to go after school hours. Maybe with a relative or a priest?
The anti-Catholic bias was rampant at Holton Arms. Doesnt take much to sense the anti-Catholicism there.
But it seems the calculated Holton-Arms girls went after Catholic boys with a vengeance.....including Gonzaga and other Catholic boys' schools.
One yearbook entry has the Holton girls mentioning their male conquests with great pride:
No longer confining ourselves to the walls of Landon and Prep, we plunged into the waters of St John and Gonzaga with much success.
You may or may not be able to read this from the article for free:
But if there is a silver lining, it is that the episode is providing an education for Americans on the new liberal standard of legal and political due process.
This has nothing to do with liberalism, whatever that maybe.
Make no mistake, this is evidence of the creeping totalarianism that is inevitable in a post-truth world.
It should be called what it is.
It would not be that unusual. Particularly senior year.
But the broader point is - boarding schools tend to be the ones with the “culture” problem.
Catholic girls day schools - not so much.
