Reporter by day... stripper at night: The society writer at conservative newspaper whose job as exotic dancer was outed by rival.
|
A conservative Houston newspaper is at the centre of scandal after it was revealed one of its reporters has been working overtime - as a stripper.
Sarah Tressler, 29, began writing for the Houston Chronicle's society pages last April.
But her double life has apparently brought some unwanted attention for the media outlet after a rival newspaper brought her story to light.
Richard Connelly, reporting for the Houston Press, shamed Miss Tressler and her colleagues at the Chronicle with an expose about the brunette's thinly-veiled late-night life as an exotic dancer.
As Connelly reports, Miss Tressler keeps a Facebook, Twitter profile and blog using the pseudonym 'Angry Stripper'.
Photos of the dancer posing provocatively in lingerie and six-inch heels are scattered amongst her social networks, which have been locked since the story gained attention.
A description on her Facebook fan page is frank and forward.
'I strip for crazy people and then write about it so we can laugh at them TOGETHER. That's love, people,' she writes, noting interests including 'Brass poles, tiny muscles, money, and the perfectly polite conversation of your choosing.'
Her mission? '$20 a song, even if I'm not dancing,' she writes.
According to Miss Tressler's LinkedIn profile, she has a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston, where she works as an adjunct professor.
The profile also states she has a master's degree in journalism from New York University, and has worked as a freelance reporter for publications including: Us Weekly, L.A. City Beat and GLOSS Magazine.
That may come as a surprise to those who read her blog, 'Diary of an Angry Stripper'.
Musings about the writer's daily dalliances, customers' irksome requests, fetishes and late-night hook-ups with at least one recognisable name - actor Jeremy Piven - earn column inches on the quippy site.
