Bottle girlies
In this photo above is a picture of some women inside of a club for a party. Bottle girls is a position that has gained more recognition in the past couple of years. Although it was always present, everyone now wants them at their sections or wants to become one. These ladies usually dress in clothing that accentuates their physiques and makes them more appealing. They do not typically fraternize with their clients the way other positions in clubs would, but they are an essential part of the clubbing experience. In the reading from Hoang, she describes class based relations and global masculinities to reaffirm male dominance and the relationship between finance and masculinity. Bottle girls are not cheap and they usually draw a lot of attention to the people who ordered them. These women are paid by selling the most bottles to the most tables and of course tips from customers. They also take special care of VIP guests to make them feel more important. This reminds me of the reading because these women know the game that some men play in terms of the feeling of pride because beautiful women will be surrounding him and making him feel very important. The bottle girls most likely understand that this relationship is transactional in multiple ways such as financially and socially. However, these women play a role or a part as just figures to men. Hoang would argue that the women she interacted with in Vietnam also understand their roles in playing this part of men. The women in Vietnam know that men come in from all over the world for their services, with one interviewer even calling it “Disneyland”. Since the women know this, they can take control of their situations and use that to their advantage to make more money.
