EPTSo last weekend we had a 5 year reunion from school. About half way through it became apparent that the guy who who organized the event, also organized two strippers to come at the after party. Payment was optional, viewing was optional (obviously).
The next day I find this posted in my facebook inbox.
Hi all,
I'd like to express my feeling that the entertainment at the end of Saturday night was inappropriate to the event.
I say inappropriate because I think it undermined the purpose of our getting together - that being to catch up after five years.
...
It should have been obvious that such an extreme show would offend or alienate some in our cohort, excluding them from the opportunity of enjoying the last stage of the night, thus making the reunion open to only part of our grade.
I claim no purity in this - although on reflection the night's end has left a sour taste, I was wink-wink-nudge-nudged into complicity before the show, and I went, and I clapped.
But my purpose is not to comment on the morality of what we did.
It was in very bad taste to organise, in conjunction with the official event, something that would so foreseeably offend, alienate and at the very least distract.
I wish you the best for the next five years. But when that time comes, let's just meet up for drinks and a chat.
Cheers,

I am interested to see what TL thinks:
is it ok to organise such an event for a 5 year reunion?
id like to add that this guy sat through the whole thing anyway, and that this was not the end of the night by any means as it occurred around 11pm and we were out till about 5am.
edit - all male school, 2 female strippers. fairly hardcore show that lasted around 20 mins.
edit 2 - around 75 guys, most who know each other very well, no one yet married.
edit 3 - the strippers were super hot. they were also the same age as us and seem to know things about the relationship of our school to others, thus making me think the came from some reasonable background as we went to a private school in a fairly well to do part of sydney.
edit 4 - the naked guy is known to pick up more girls than most of us, hes a rowdy electrician, nudity is not uncommon when we go out to parties and stuff, but usually there are many women, so its not as weird, most people were just like lol meh.
best post on topic so far

Getting fully naked and staying that way in the middle of a social gathering is a fun way to spice up those boring holiday parties, but it takes both physical and emotional dexterity to successfully execute. You can't simply tear your clothes off and be done with it. You have to ease your way into it; you have to use a little something called finesse.
Let's be honest: we've all been there, leaning against the bar in some dank dive, 75 of your close friends leering at and skulking around two beaten-up, manky strippers. Candy, the younger of the two, grinds on a bar stool, her vacant expression no alibi for her wandering thoughts. You wonder what shattered dreams or broken childhood she pines for as she begins to perform fellatio on her own fist. The other stripper, whom you've dubbed, "The Skeksis," writhes around on the buffet table before suggesting body shots. You struggle to hold down the beer you've been nursing as they fit two full shots and a mixer into her belly button. Your eyes glaze over and the dark, Fincher-esque bar, looking like a scene from Eyes Wide Shut, fades from focus as you daydream about being somewhere that doesn't make you feel inexplicably greasy.
But all is not lost, friends, for you still have your trump card, your ace-in-the-hole, the one thing that never fails to make a party interesting (at least for you). Getting naked! Getting naked in front of a crowd of people with subtlety and grace is a logistical nightmare, but thankfully there are some guidelines to keep in mind that will help smooth out the process:

Getting naked in front of a crowd of people with subtlety and grace is a logistical nightmare, but thankfully there are some guidelines to keep in mind that will help smooth out the process:
- Take your clothes off slowly, maintaining eye contact with whomever you were conversing with. Don't wear clothing that is difficult to remove, or expensive to replace should you have to leave it behind in a hurry.
- Try not to have a boner when you get naked. Naked + Flaccid = Casual, Non-Threatening. Naked + Erect = Aggressive, Threatening, Might try to mount me. If you know you can't help yourself, you may want to look into some novelty items to disguise or dress-up your penis, like a tiny Santa hat.
- Don't fart. Without clothes to act as a buffer, pure fart can prove quite toxic, not to mention the dangers of some fecal matter making a daring escape. Many first-timers get excited during their initial attempt, and bad things can happen when you mix booze, adrenaline and a cavalier fart policy.
- Have fun with it! While the rest of your 75 closest friends watch Candy twirl around a support beam and absent-mindedly pick at her scabs, you'll be experiencing a whole new world of freedom. Enjoy that breeze, buddy. You've earned it.
