Lucy Gao or Lucy Gaolia?

Lucy Gao a Citigroup Intern had her 5 minutes of fame, or defame, when she decided to ORGANIZE her 21st birthday in the literal sense.

We have heard of that Miser Lawyer, a high law firm lawfirm partner, who sent an email asking for Reimbursement of laundry bills, after a clerk spilled sauce on his trouser, and the email spread like wildfire.

In another case, a lover boy Joseph Dobbie expressed his love and asked Kate for a Coffee in a very romantic mail which also got circulated all over the net.

Lucy Gao didn't know about those stories perhaps when she sent out an immaculate email on how the guests should behave in her party to the last details.

Well, the email got circulated, and picked up by the newspaper(What a Silly gao).

LUCY GAO, wherever you are, call. No one is angry. We’re just all laughing
at you. She is a young — oh, is she young — intern at Citigroup who has
enlivened the dog days of August in the City.
Her stupid e-mail, detailing
the plans for her 21st birthday party last Friday, is doing the rounds of City
banks, with appropriately derisive comments. Lucy is something of a control
freak, and her friends are instructed to arrived in groups at properly staggered
15-minute intervals to ensure sufficient face time with the princess.

They are given a strict script to adhere to on arrival.
“When asked, how can I help you Sir/Madam, you reply, I am here for Lucy’s
birthday party at the Rivoli Bar.” Dress smart — “the more upper-class you
dress, the less likely you shall be denied entry”.

The story has also been picked up by other famous bloggers like Loic lemeur and Dealbreaker.
