ValleyWag is reporting that some grown-ass men (and possibly women, but I doubt it), in their infinite wisdom, are throwing a “Hookers and Hackers” party in Silicon Valley this Friday. The delightfully themed party is being thrown by a tech collective called “Hacker Hideout” and if you thought it might be a fun, subversive sort of “let’s drink and flip gender norms” party I’m sorry to tell you that the promise of “Girls” on the same list as “Shot Bar” and “Food Truck” tells a different story. Listen it’s one (disgusting) thing for frat boys to emerge from their Axe Body Spray Fog Fugue every so often to throw a “Golf Pros and Tennis Hos” party. It’s disgusting, but they’re children. Children do disgusting things. But adults? “Professionals?” Repulsive. Here are the ten costumes I’d like to see at the party. You have the power, Silicon Valley. Make it so.

Acid Burn — Hackers

Gigolo Joe — A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Barbara Gordon aka Oracle — Various DC Comics

Deuce Bigalow — Of Male Gigolo Fame

Lex — Jurassic Park

Julian — American Gigolo

Lisbeth Salander — The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Dermot Mulroney — The Wedding Date

Mac — Veronica Mars

Ratso or Joe Buck — Midnight Cowboy

*Isn’t it interesting how fond our culture is of the word “gigolo?” Gents are so lucky to have a kinder, gentler word for “prostitute.”
