After the jump we bring you what we're told is Aleksey Vayner's invitation to his birthday party. Spectacularly normal, really. He's no Lucy Gao. And don't worry if you are under age. Aleksey can still totally get you into the club.

Subject: Party Invitation for You / Press Release
Dear friends,
I would like to invite you to my party in NYC on August 19th, starting
at 8:30pm, at www.Bar12.com. A nice bar/lounge located in Midtown
Manhattan. Enjoy the company of great people, live DJ,
all-you-can-eat-appetizers, large plasma tvs, dance, and great specials
on all booze!
Besides celebrating my birthday, I just published a book, Women's
Silent Tears and would love to use these as reasons to get together and
party with my friends! The book, available at www.LuLu.com/alekseyvayner
- is a gendered study on the Holocaust, through the eyes of survivors.
All proceeds from its sales go to fund Youth Empowerment Strategies
(www.EmpowerAChild.org), a non-profit organization for immigrant
children that my great team and I launched this summer as well (Another
great reason to party?!) Attached you'll find Publisher's Press
Release, should you find the topic or the cause of interest to someone
you know.
So I really hope you can come, and have a great time! Celebrate, dance,
eat plenty, and of course for some of us just get wasted!!!
(Under-age invitees need not worry, you're set)
1. Please reply to this email if you WILL or MIGHT come = having
semi-accurate headcount will significantly ease my life.
2. If you want/need a place to stay in the city, let me know and I?ll
take care of that on first-come, first-serve basis.
3. Under 21? = reply to this email so that your name is on a list =
getting in will not be a problem at all, guaranteed.
4. Party has no cover. You are welcome to cheap to help cover cost.
I hope to see you soon, and I hope that you are having a fantastic
summer!!!
Much Love,
Aleksey Vayner

Bizarre.
It's as if this guy got hold of a manual on "How To Pick Up Women and Impress Men" and followed it step-by-step.
Everything seems too chick-friendly and calculated: his martial arts skills, tennis prowess, dancing abilities, starting a children's charity, publishing a "gendered study" on the Holocaust. This guy is a woman's dream! I mean, how much more PC can you get? It's as if he's created this whole persona just to get laid.
I love pussy just as much as the next guy, but I sure as hell don't have to lie to get some.
