Butlers in the Buff Serve Up Good, Clean, Cheeky Party Fun
*Disclaimer: Cheeky PG-13 Photos ahead! Photos, story by Christine Tarlecki Trimble When Butlers in the Buff reached out to us at Explore-Philly, we weren’t sure what to think. Sure in America, tradition dictates getting a stripper or going to a strip club for a bachelor or bachelorette party.
