Usually getting into the Maxim Magazine party is a tougher ticket than the Super Bowl (no joke). If you don't know someone to get on the list, you can't get in. Ever. But this year, the magazine partially outsourced its invitation list and mayhem (or honesty, depending on your point of view) broke out.
The promoters sent out emails looking for women to attend as long as they sent in suitably hot pictures of themselves. According to the Detroit Free Press, the email claimed, "Please do not attempt to bring any male accompaniment, they will not be admitted under any circumstance." Who could argue with this?
Then there was the FAQ section of the email:
"Q: What should I wear?
"A: This is one of the hottest parties you will ever go to, and you're only getting in because you're a hot chick
Your job is to make Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton and Jessica Alba look bad.
"Q: I don't really look like the photo that I sent in, will that be a problem when I check-in?
"A: Yes
we still retain the absolute right to refuse entrance to anyone we want. That means your girlfriend that is the 'designated driver,' the one that 'offends spandex,' the one that makes you look hotter and thinner "
My friend Lewis Kay, who handles the party, fired the local promoters, which is understandable. But I think they were just trying to be honest. And isn't that the best policy.
