Tressler.
The sexiest story to hit the newspaper world since Lou Grant wore short sleeves has a Los Angeles tie-in!

Thank the Lord.

It turns out that super-hottie society writer Sarah Tressler, fired after her not-so-secret night job as a stripper was revealed in Houston, was an intern right here in town -- at the late, great LA CityBeat.

Not only that but, at the time, she readily admitted ...


... being a sometime "dancer."

Now, in the world of alternative media, that's just called supplementing your income. But for the Houston Chronicle, expressing yourself without the help of a printing press was a firable offence, unfortunately.

Something must have rang a bell for Matthew Fleischer at Fishbowl LA, because today he reminisces about the intern who rocked CityBeat's world in 2009, when he was an editor there:

I remember her nearly constant smirking and dismissive eye-rolling during our editorial meetings, particularly (for some reason) when editor-in-chief Will Swaim would speak. Sometimes she'd call us (including Swaim) out for how terrible our ideas were-without offering the slightest hint of constructive criticism. We'd all be tossing ideas around and every-so-often we'd hear a loud grunt or groan from Sarah's corner of the table.

Pretty, pretty ballsy.

Yeah, baby. Well, you can speak you mind when you're pulling down ... a reported $1,000 a night!

Your story ideas suck balls, boss, and if you don't like it you can suck on this wad of $1 bills.

Anywho, too bad for the Chronicle. A stripper who also hangs out with hat-wearing ladies who lunch is frigging gangsta.

It's like being a crime reporter who slangs on the side. You know she really knows what's going on. Half those blue-haired ladies' husbands have had Tressler on their laps. Right?

So here's the kicker, Sarah:

LA Weekly is the kind of place where you could dance and write about society, no questions asked.

We're not offering you a job jest yet, as hiring powers don't extend down to lowly Guy Who Blogs.

But consider this: We almost have more strip clubs in L.A. than pot shops. And society? Heard of Hollywood? Yeah. And seeing how half the celebrities out here have done "home videos," we're sure you'd be welcome with open arms.

In fact, L.A. is one of the few cities in the world where strip clubs and society intersect (at the Playboy Mansion). And Hollywood Boulevard has a better selection of stripper shoes than Hef's closet.

Think about it.

When asked whether she was caught off guard at being outed earlier this week, our Queen Sheba retorted with a dew of tears forming in the outer layer of her corneas that it definitely took her by surprise. Of course what takes one by surprise is how a professional journo prancing around town like a smug stripper sometimes making $2000 a night (she had once tried to get a job as a book clerk for $8.50 an hour but somehow no one wanted to hire her and thus she was forced to resort to earning $2000 or so days to being a stripper) had no idea that her sorry self would eventually be outed. Never mind she’s supposed to be an adjunct professor of journalism.

What's the expression? There's nothing going on but the rent....

I was managing editor of CityBeat at the time of Tressler's internship and she always struck me as very smart and more than capable at her job. And I also knew of her other work. Never seemed like a big deal to me. It would be nice if sexual Puritanism could disappear in this country. Hopefully with all the publicity, she will get some kind of a book deal out of this at least.

"Now, in the world of alternative media, that's just called supplementing your income."

People have no money, there are no jobs, and the newspaper business is collapsing all around us. Why sneer at how this person was making a living? Is that a sneer? I can't even tell.

No way. If people wanted to see me naked for $1k a night, I' there. No shame. They don't. :(
