Anyway, as I mentioned in the post linked above, my pal Woody didn't think it was a good idea to call that post "The Slut Parade." I think I answered his concerns in the post. Then, a few weeks ago, a new blog reader sent me an email stating that while he loved the blog, he too didn't think I should have called these ladies the s-word.
I answered him back and we had a nice back and forth. We agreed to disagree. Also, he is coming to Vegas soon and we will probably meet for some poker, and we can continue our discussion on sluts.
Anyway, I just recently noticed the option to run a poll on the blog, so I decided to do it for the question about using the term "slut" to describe the girls who--let's face it--dress like sluts to go to the clubs in Vegas. You can see the results to your right. By better than 3 to 1, sluts win!
To be honest, I was surprised that 6 people actually thought it was a mistake to use that word. I didn't think there would be that many. Anyway, I have no regrets. If any sluts--I mean ladies--were offended, well, sorry about that.
In other news, I have something to report that no one will believe, but I swear, I swear, it's true.
I just got an email from my editor at Ante Up Magazine and he wants me to make my future columns longer than they have been. About 10% longer.
Yes, seriously, he didn't think my columns were long enough.
Honest.
Finally, I want to mention that I just returned to Vegas today, where I will be through the end of the WSOP. This means blogging will be more difficult again. Oh well.
But I know a lot of my various internet pals and acquaintances will be coming through town during the next couple of weeks. So if want to meet me, get together for some poker, or just have a drink and talk about sluts, give me a holler. Email me (address to the right), Tweet me, PM me on AVP, whatever. I'm here.
Off to the tables for now.....
Well, various important comments:
ReplyDelete1. Woody would like to know the % of the "sluts" going to the Vegas night clubs "commando".
2. Ante Up should talk to Very Josie about the length of your blog posts and columns. Woody however likes long and highly detailed Rob posts. Please keep up the good work.
3. Woody is looking forward to our upcoming dinner with Rob at Nine Fine Irishmen, NY NY Hotel/Casino. I plan to discuss "hooker sightings". We will be asking for a table on the patio on "The Strip".
Cheers Woody
When is said dinner?
DeleteI might dress like a slut and parade around outside for y'all to gawk at
@ Woody, thanks. Regarding the percentage of commando girls, according to an anonymous commenter on the Slut Parade post, it's at least 50% if not more. Of course, I have no way to check the veracity of this person or his/her claim. See the comment here:

@grrouchie....how would that differ from any other night for you?
I'd be wearing a bikini instead of my normal attire

ReplyDeleteLiar liar pants on fire!
In the immortal words of Lili Von Schtupp, "It's twue! It's twue!
DeleteAs the former hostess of the PokerSlut Tour on Full Tilt and then Poker Stars I have absolutely no issue with the slut reference.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed the article that referred to it - I didn't make it to the poll before it closed.
Thanks very much Zooks! Sorry you didn't get to vote. What a shame the PokerSlut Tour is on hiatus.
DeleteYou left two comments within a minute, very similar so I only approved one, hope that's ok.
Longer articles? Nah, don't believe it. Can't be true.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't know how I'm gonna fill the extra space. I guess I'll have to talk about boobies.
DeleteI have no problem with the way you used the term in your previous post. I do think the line "If any sluts--I mean ladies--were offended," was in poor taste.
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing to describe people wearing revealing, purposefully smutty dresses as sluts. It's another thing, even jokingly, to call all females sluts.
For the record, I am a guy, and I like looking at girls. I simply think that at certain, infrequent times, some restraint / tact is needed.
Again, I enjoyed your previous post, and it's only the quoted line from this post that makes me raise my eyebrows.
Thanks, Anony.
DeleteBut seriously....I mean seriously. I surely did not call all females sluts. I would never ever do that.
I mean, clearly, that was a joke. And in that sentence, I was only referring to the same women I referred to as sluts in the "Slut Parade" post as "sluts--I mean ladies" not "all females."
In other the words I was referring to the woman who were dressing like sluts in that joke. And in that post, I explained that just because they were dressing like sluts, I didn't assume they WERE sluts.
I even explained that I wouldn't even know how to quantify what a slut is. Especially these days. I mean, what constituted a slut 100 years would practically qualify a woman for sainthood these days.
Come on.
Rob, I'm glad you'll still be in town when we get there. Of course by then you'll probably be sick of playing cards and out hunting more booby stories. I hope your editor knows what he asked for when he asked you to make your columns longer. I get the feeling Ante Up magazines are going to be as big as the old Sears catalogue
ReplyDeleteGet sick of cards? Me? Never.
DeleteI might be sick of losing by then, however.
