Andrea Wachner received an invitation to attend her 10-year high school reunion and decided to make a documentary of her experience. Unlike a normal attendee however, she decided to buy a ticket and send Cricket, a stripper to attend in her place. With a hidden earphone and microphone, Andrea was able to coordinate from the hotel room above while Cricket made the rounds below.

Cricket told the reunion attendees that she'd had reconstructive surgery and also suffered from amnesia. It wasn't completely unbelievable, because some had already heard that the real-life Wachner was in an accident after high school -- her car was totaled and she had been injured, but she had never suffered from amnesia.
Most of them had not seen or talked to Wachner since high school, but many found her new profession suspect: Cricket as Andrea said she was working as a stripper to help pay her graduate school tuition.
Daniel Wolowicz, 32, who had been an acquaintance of Wachner's in high school, said he was immediately suspicious.
"She was just so different. You have to understand the community we had come from," he said. "Everyone was questioning who this person was.
"I had asked her a very specific question about seeing her at a bat mitzvah when I was 15 years old," he said. When Cricket answered his question correctly, Wolowicz said he assumed it was Andrea or "someone else who had been given a lot of information."
There's one particular segment in the clip that I enjoy, which is pointing out the sheer numbers of BMWs and Mercedes in the student parking lot of the high school. The YouTube comments on the video run the whole gamut about perpetuating certain stereotypes about this community to admiration for Andrea for making the reunion interesting.
