Anne Rice and the Classy Bordello

From Fandom wank wiki

January 3, 2008: Criticalcricket gave Fandom Wank the best New Year's gift ever. Anne Rice wank, eleven years in the masturbation maturation.

Back in 1997, an enterprising gentleman bought the building where Anne Rice had set the scene of the last Lestat novel, and transformed it into a restaurant described by a reviewer as "what I'd envision a classy bordello in '50s Havana [to be]."

He was probably surprised by the full page newspaper ads Anne Rice took out to protest his restaurant as an insult to the memory of the Vampire Lestat. But he took it in stride, and published his own ad. And then, Anne Rice retorted with another ad, in which Lestat came to life again just to insult the restaurant.

“	"MR. COPELAND, NOTHING SHORT OF YOUR INDESCRIBABLE RESTAURANT COULD SHOCK ME OUT OF MY TORPOR AND MY COMA. I AM NOW MYSELF AGAIN! IT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A STROKE OF GENIUS ON YOUR PART TO CREATE A RESTAURANT THAT WILL BE IMMORTALIZED IN HISTORY, LEGEND AND LITERATURE. YOU ARE ONE HELL OF A GUY! MY IMMORTAL THANKS. I WILL ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU AS ONE OF MY DEAREST FRIENDS. YOUR KITH AND KIN ARE A MARVELOUS BREED. MAY GOD LOOK DOWN WITH HIS INFINITE MERCY WITH LOVE UPON YOU ALL. LESTAT" (END OF SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE ASTRAL PLANE) A.R.	”
