We've been DYING for a photograph of Shanetta Cutlar, the Bitch Goddess Chief of the Justice Department's Special Litigation Section, whom we have written about extensively in these pages. So we were absolutely delighted to receive the photograph at right, which one of you dug up for us on an archived DOJ web page.

As you can see, Shanetta Cutlar is attractive and stylish. We love the combination of the pearl necklace and the pearl-gray pinstripe suit (with hints of purple in the sleeve). Her smooth mocha skin and glossy red lips couldn't be more alluring. Her hair is fabulous; it looks professionally styled.

Just like Paris Hilton, another one of our favorite women on planet Earth, Shanetta Cutlar takes a great still photograph. We're reminded of what cosmetics heir and art collector Ronald Lauder recently said, to the New Yorker, about socialite Adele Bloch-Bauer, whose portrait was painted by Gustav Klimt (a portrait Lauder recently bought for $135 million):

"She had a salon, she had a personality, and you can feel that personality. Unlike The Kiss, this is a painting that is alive."

The same can be said of Shanetta Cutlar. Love her or hate her, the woman has personality. Unlike so many of those "DOJ Official In Front Of A Flag" photos, which are generic and interchangeable, Shanetta's photo portrait is alive. You can practically hear her yelling at a line attorney for including extra spaces in a document, or upbraiding a summer intern for failing to say hello.

For those of you who are as obsessed with "SYC" as we are, we reprint the text that accompanied this Shanetta-licious image, after the jump.

Here's the photo caption:
