‘Just … why?’: Bizarre gender reveal party boasts stripper pole, dancers
An expecting couple has gone viral after making a bizarre choice of an adult entertainment theme for their gender reveal party.
A couple has gone viral after opting for a not-so-traditional approach to hosting a gender reveal party.
While many go for the standard balloon-popping or cake-cutting spectacle, mum-to-be Maria Popa decided to have a stripper pole displayed front and centre at her event, as reported by the New York Post.
What’s more, the pole wasn’t there as a prop: Popa had dancers there to perform their tricks.
The party video, shared on her TikTok account – which often features clips of herself pole dancing – has racked up a whopping 6.1 million views in just three days.
It was also shared on the “TikTok Cringe” Reddit page, which features clips people come across on social media.
Eagle-eyed users on the platform were quick to spot that Popa’s video didn’t actually reveal the gender of the baby, but instead the spread she put on for the big day.
“So what gender was it? Or was it twins, boy/girl? I have so many questions,” wrote one person, before another asked, “So what’s the gender?”
A third puzzled viewer wrote, “I mean they are both very talented and this is original but just … why?”
“At this point it’s just an excuse to do something ridiculous and have a laugh. I’d bet most of the parents doing those gender reveal things are self-aware,” a fourth added.
But much to the delight of frustrated viewers, Popa uploaded another roundup video of the day, which indeed included the customary gender reveal.
The video acknowledged that the happy couple is expecting a boy, as one of the pole dancers popped a balloon that had blue glitter inside of it.
