I know this is off subject from my blog’s tenet but hell if it is not an eye catching story. Sometimes you just have to lighten up from the political stuff and take a breather.
It is hard to believe that Sarah could stay incognito for so long in a city like Houston. I bet a lot of TV reporters knew her but did not report it because their wives may want to know what in the hell were they doing at the strip club
.
Anyway I do not see why the Houston Chronicle laid her off. They would have actually increased their circulation for folks just wanting to read the stories point of view from an intellectual stripper.
Sarah Tressler, the Houston Chronicle society reporter who gained national, if not worldwide, fame for also being a stripper, made her first public statements this morning.
Good Morning America flew her to New York and she spoke about her experience.
Two things we did not know that we learned in the intro: 1) Houston is "a city famous for big oil, big spenders and genteel Southern living" (say whaaat?) and 2) the Chron is "one of the country’s most prestigious newspapers."
We also learned an actual important thing, one we’d been highly curious about: Had Tressler told anyone at the Chron about her semi-publicly blogging about her stripping, including putting pictures of herself out there?
When asked, Tressler giggled a bit and said no, she hadn’t told anyone.
If that’s true and she’s not just trying to protect someone, that is a pretty egregious lapse of journalistic judgment on the part of a reporter. And not just any reporter — as the Chron‘s society reporter, she is in many ways a face of the paper, or at the very least a representative of it, to those elites the Chron takes such pains not to offend, only to fawn over.
