Here's the letter writer's rebuttal on Medium! #dialogue
Also, 60 people ready to tip? As a former stripper, this sounds pretty good to me. Yes, I cringe at the thought of 60 women going together—women suck as tippers in clubs, mostly because they just don't know how things are supposed to work—but at the very least, y'all came prepared to by drinks and if you were…
It sounds like she responded to some of the points your friend made, like that she did contact the management beforehand and that they did tip generously. I don't get this whole "article" or how it framed her as this terrible, clueless person....I mean, isn't there more impactful stuff to write about? The whole tone…
I think it's appalling that your private email to friends was publicized in this weird way. I thought that this "article" was going to be way more dramatic than it was. I hope you guys had fun and it sounds like you did address the things that her friend in the biz was concerned about, like tipping appropriately and…
Does it say "Only the birthday girl got lap dances" or "The birthday girl herself got at least 8 lap dances over the course of the 2-3 hours we were there, all purchased for her by the party"? Other people got lap dances, too. I bought a massage (same price.) That comment makes you sound INSANELY dense. ;)
K.
Thank you! Drinks were indeed hella expensive! The credit card thing is pretty true actually. We got there, they had legit laid out an entire circle of chairs for us because once again! we were expected! and we also came on the earlier side when the club asked us to before all the guys showed up. So no, we were not…
Wow. As a long time Jezebel reader and I'm shocked at this reaction. I am friends with the queer, feminist, well educated goddess who wrote this TO HER FRIENDS and how dare you portray her in the same light they do the crazy sorority girl emails. This is not ok. All she was doing was trying to make her queer friends…
lol the entire purpose of my comment was for rage and name calling, sorry
hahahaahah! HAHAHAHHA! Anna you are a piece of shit! Let me reiterate, YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT! I was a guest at this party, I am the birthday girl's sister. Try to get context and facts before you write a judgmental, pompous, vaguely homophobic and feminist-bashing article. Good job bringing in a stripper who wasn't…
Same. I was also there and can vouch that it was a way smaller crowd, an appropriate amount of money was spent, etc. The girl who wrote this did so in a way where people with any financial status could have a clear understanding of what minimums were (i.e. the $20 lap dance, minimums, etc.) Everybody I interacted with…
Her recommendation was AT LEAST $40 cash. That was for people who do not have a lot of money and weren't going to stay long, because some people want to show up for their friend's birthday but also are just barely making enough to pay their own bills so might want to, idk, come for half an hour, buy a couple drinks,…
HI EVERYONE I was a guest at this very party. Pretty much all of your horrified fantasies of us all arriving as a nervous giggly unexpected mob of 60 stingy assholes who only brought $40 each/did not tip/generally behaved in an obnoxious and disrespectful way are false.
My Lord, this is a twelve point email for one evening's excursion to a strip club.
