We hope all of you can join us and the Whynatte crew at The Clermont Lounge on Thursday night! (Non-locals, we are hard at work at that teleportation device). Gene Kansas (property developer of The Clermont) is throwing a party in hopes to save this Atlanta institution. Gene sent out a call to all architects, creatives geniuses, bell hops, butlers, etc. to redesign a room, the lobby and/or the roof of The Clermont hotel. The design winners are to be announced at the party. Read the invite below- sounds pretty sweet, no?
For those of you not familiar with The Clermont Lounge, let's catch you up. It's Atlanta's longest continually running strip club. Now, before you get too skeeved-out (completely understandable- the AsianCajuns don't usual advertise for such things), The Clermont is a different beast than what you have in mind. The stripers are a more mature set and don't exactly look like your run-of-the-mill pole dancer (we think). It's safe to say that generally Cath and I would stay away from even kitschy strip joints, but when it involves a design competition and cocktails mixed by our favorite people- well, we can't pass it up.
Not really into design competitions and kitschy strip clubs that hold dance parties? Well, do you guys remember us swooning over that caffeinated coffee drink Whynatte last year (see this post)? If you have yet to try this, we think you should hightail down to the Clermont for that reason alone: drinking Whynatte.
Local bloggers, please let us know if you will be there- we'd love to meet up!

This is the event we alluded to a few post back. We thought we would share a few more of Andy J Scott's photos of us. He's good. Real good. Check out his other work here if you haven't already. Thanks again, Andy!

Down below is my redesign of the Clermont lobby. I'm good, aren't I?

Wait, you say it looks a lot like Julian Schnabel's redesign of Gramercy Park Hotel in New York circa 2006? For shame! He got all of his genius ideas from me...
In all seriousness, if I were fabulously wealthy and owned the Clermont, I would have Mr. Schnabel fly down to Atlanta in his pajamas and have his way with the hotel.
See you Thursday!

The first picture of y'all is just the right mixture of seedy and beautiful. Good work, team.

Wow old strip clubs and neon signs? Sounds like a good time. I think I just sounded like such a creeper...
anywho, great photos. Can't wait for the teleporter.
Just read your comment, thank for voting you guys :) I look like hot mess (minus the hot) I thought we had to get 'creative' lol, I think I should've left it to the pros :) xx
first of all, you girls look amazing in those photos!
that sounds like so much fun!
OMG love love love the pictures of you guys. And your shorts are hot! My friend and I just got her a pair of yellow denim shorts at the Levi's store for $14!!!!
Both of you look amazing! Gosh, those legs! I love your redesign! It looks so modern and elegant! xxoxoxo
I remember coming across this blog ages ago when you guys first moved south and loving it. I am so glad I came across it again.
LOVE these pictures- my favorites on the site yet! Good God I wish I had your legs :)
Your Mama says, lovely pixs, girls, and my, my, don't you both look so tall. (Although, the thought of my girls, in what I would refer to as short-shorts, at a strip joint, under neon lights, at night, has most decidedly brought out the smelling salts.
But,if you do have any pull with Mr. Schnabel and he is in Atlanta ask him to get his pajama clad self over to our new house and help out. If he's up to the challenge and all.
You two are gunning for the Olsen twins aren't you? I love it!
yesss! see you tomorroww!
