Posted on Instagram by user ‘@Caseyredbeard’, who is also called ‘Casey Redbeard’, ‘Casey Barbarossa’ or ‘Mr. Whiskers’, these party announcements are displayed with opulence and luxury. The meetings would take place in apartments in El Poblado, where they offer interested women food, a DJ and transportation completely free.
These meetings, says the aforementioned media outlet, are called ‘gringo parties’. The organizers assure clients that they will have “young, elegant and attractive country women who are not prostitutes, webcam models or Onlyfans’, among other specifications.”
Even, on her Instagram, Casey Redbeard pointed out: How come my parties are free? My clients are millionaires who pay me very well to throw parties where there are only well-behaved girls. They don’t want to meet the girls who are in the Lleras at 2 am, if you know what I mean? Parties are just for fun, no pressure. Safe environment!”
