Well, Cyrus, Finally someone has a sense of humor- (your bag of weed reference)... I was very put off by the article, and for obvious reasons...come on now... I have been a trained performer working and supporting myself as such for years in the industry of live entertainment. I and many others I know have had to deal with the 'double standards' issued to us as women. I found it offensive to be spoken about as.. "the stripper this.. the stripper that"... Very de-humanizing, can you imagine? I do happen to have a name, whether she knew it or not, she knew I was a performer hired for the event. Blakeley said "'Hitler' stripper' or "'Hitler clad' performer' (a character).. not a "stripper for hire.' I didnt hear him refer to me as such as an 'object' as she did, but, referring to my 'character'. As opposed to being stated and titled even in the article by Chiara. I have a career, and that is not it.. So, really there is a significant difference. I was mis-represented. Also, no "stripper"(exotic dancer) I know would stand for such reference.. Its like using the 'N' word. It is very derogatory. I personally was hoping Chiara would be the bigger person and say..."woops" and maybe learn something from it. She appears to be a new 'journalist'. There is nothing wrong with being and 'exotic dancer' or etc. and people who choose to do so should have the right to be proud of their career choice. I personally was mis-represented in not just an article, but the headline of an article. Publicity and word of mouth is mostly how I get my work and make my living. So it is necessary for me to make a clear defining line between the two. I found it careless and irresponsible for a 'journalist' to write in this manner. Also, uncool to have all of her co-workers and/or friends try and gang up on me and make fun of me, please. I know I was not kind in my first response in relation to being a 'woman hater'-( i do not know her) I was clearly on the defense. So, thank you for your follow up letter. Its all supposed to be fun and good. I had a blast at the Gawker party, and hope to run into you and many of the other cool peeps I met at the party at one of my shows, or any other event. Lets be on the same team this/next time! P.s. good luk with that bag o' weed prof elk! :)

Cyrus...It said a "stripper' dressed like Hitler was hired", not a performer... The first Gawker article did not offend me...as I am making fun of Hitler as if he were a chippendale sort of dancer, it is supposed to be comical. It seemed they got that. Blakeleys comment did not offend me. I found it funny. I did not show up with no pants on, please nini. It seems Chiara took things out of context and ran with it. I just dont appreciate that it seems that when a woman gets naked or slightly scandalous she is called a stripper. But, if I were a man, it would be considered comedy or art. Plus, i did not even get naked. I am in no way superior to a 'stripper', and dont believe that so called 'strippers' like to be referred to as strippers either. Or basically as u imply pole slingers. As in todays world, its unfortunately a job that by most is looked down on and has become a derogatory term. I do not look down on exotic dancers in any way. I happen to love them! But, as implanted in Chiaras article it certainly sounded like a diss. Therefore myself and "strippers" as u call them, should all be offended. Good luck with your lofty goals. I can have an opinion and express it, especially when it is directed towards me. My letter was addressed to her not you anyway.

Hey Chiara, Im DeeDee Luxe the PERFORMER that portrayed Hitler at the Gawker party the other night. I am a professional performer hired by the Box for the event, that you refer to numerous times as a stripper. Get your facts straight if you consider yourself a "writer". Not all female PERFORMERS are strippers as you like to say. Go back to Idaho or wherever your from that hates women. www.DeeDeeLuxe.com
