INSIDE INFORMATION OR "TMI?" 19th century novelist Samuel Butler once called the human body "a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stew pan and the whole fixed upon stilts." Glamorous? Perhaps not, but fascinating remains the mot juste when describing "BODIES...The Exhibition" Opening in April at the former Newseum site at 1101 Wilson Blvd. in Rosslyn, this visceral voyage - replete with specially preserved cadavers - promises a close look under our skins. For more information visit www.bodiestheexhibition.com TAKE PAWS Man's best friends take center stage on April 14th at Fashion for Paws, to be held at the French Embassy by the Washington Humane Society. This event will send more than 40 of D.C.'S celebrated personalities down the runway accompanied by their furry better halves. For more information visit www.washhumane.org
