Woman Pulls Off Most Awesome Prank Ever: Sends Stripper To Impersonate Her At High School Reunion

Posted by Ina Maier

Did you hate high school? No, but did you really hate high school? Did you spend every minute of your afternoon classes dreaming of the day you'd be able to show up at your ten year reunion having Made Something Of Yourself so that you could show everyone else how Very Unimportant they were?

If the answer to any of those questions was yes, then you're going to be insanely jealous that you did not think of this prank yourself.

Andrea Wachner, SuperVegan, hater of third-person bios and erstwhile MediaBistro / Fishbowl LA contributor, felt the same way. She attended Palos Verdes, a bajillion person high school where every car in the parking lot was either a BMW or a Mercedes and where, as her high school friend Stefunny [sic] explains, it was possible to graduate not knowing the majority of your classmates. In other words: it was the perfect candidate for a ten year reunion prank that involves sending an impersonator (in the remarkably creative form of an exotic dancer named Cricket) in your stead to fuck with with all those people you spent 4 years of your life despising.

The rest, as they say, was history fodder for a 6:02 minute YouTube documentary.

And in case that wasn't awesome enough, ABC News or BoingBoing (we can't tell) reports that Wachmer currently "has a manager shopping her story as a reality show or feature film." We hate to admit it, but she kind of deserves it.

I sort-of loved high school but I'd still do this.

what's up with the false advertising?  I hope this chubby hipster doesn't consider herself a stripper.  Haven't you heard? "Burlesque" is for fat girls - like this one in the video.

Awesome!  Great idea. I wish I had thought of that.  High School sucked for most people, so I think this idea will play out well for something bigger.

In response to fail, I think you have a very pedestrian view of what is attractive.  I thought Cricket was cute as can be.

Secondly, I'm feeling so inspired.  Maybe I'll send a hobo to mine.

It might have been interesting if the fattie had fooled anybody ...

That was a pretty clever prank, but I'm not sure it would be worth watching a movie about. The impersonator was great though. I want her to go to my reunion for me.
