Wow, I gotta step up and clear some stuff out.

1st Kimberly and the whole stripper comment:

Stacie- seriously..... no, seriously..... Is your friend the only stripper you've ever met, because although that's a sweet story, your friend makes up less than 1% of strippers around the world. Most strippers I know would even have to admit to that. I personally cocktail waitressed in Strip Clubs for years and 3 of my roommates over the years were strippers. In my experience you always give them the benefit of the doubt that they won't be the "stereotypical stripper" but even the best of the best tend to fall into that "type" category. You know what I'm talking about if you've ever met any. Having said all of that, I do have friends that "are" or "were" strippers- and I'm not knocking what they do, because I respect anyone working to pay there bills.

Obviously, they don't screen people for drugs if the main story of the show looks to be about "addiction" and I'm going to just throw it out there and say that it doesn't look like simple stuff. I mean we're dealing with not only mental health issues, but also probably multiple drugs. Love Bri, but seriously, at what point did you think she seemed "classy". Honestly, she'd probably have to laugh at those clips. She's an awesome girl, but I'm just saying, she is who she is, and I don't see any victim.

2nd The Clips are edited people:

So, alot of what you see are things at totally different times than how they appear, like when Bri is yelling at Kimberly.

Dont jump to conclusions people. Be like Bacchus and wait till you see more till you make comments that might not stand in the long run. I can't wait to see more! I think America is going to fall in love with Joey- he really put himself out there. Although I know it's hard as hell to live with someone struggling with "Addiction"- there's a lot to be said about someone who tries to change their life in front of the whole world. These people deserve our applause not crappy comments about how much hair gel they wear.

This season should have all the fun stuff- go green- deception- lies- cheating- stealing- sex- drugs- rock'n'roll - glamour - It's like what "The Hills" would be like for normal people who are lucky enough to get a free home and a kick ass job that doesn't pay much. lol

Peace!!!!

Wow,you took a worldwide poll on strippers, and calculated percentages on their activities? That's some good stuff. Otherwise, you'd just sound like a big ole clit flea trying to beat somebody else over the head w/ assumptions rather than facts.

Almost forgot....
Kimberly said "MOST people strip to pay for their drugs."
She did not say ALL people or Stacie's best friend. I can't imagine anyone doing research to find validity in that statement. That's hilarious! Most of the one's I've met strip to pay for their drugs, pimp, or continue to strip because it's easy money, which is smart in my books to a degree.

Now get back to fun discussions!!!! I love reading these boards!
Muah!

brianna is classy, and i'm not just saying that because i know her. she probably did laugh at the clips...and yes, she had some choice words for kim, but i would have done that same thing, i wouldn't let someone stand there and insult my occupation or life. ppl strip for different reasons, and you don't know her background or anything about why she does it, so don't criticize until you watch the show

My calculations are based on the thousands of strippers I've met world wide. I could count on one hand the girls that were really "paying" for school. Last time I checked, most guys would be happy to be a clit flea, but since I'm straight and not a guy it's not really my cup of tea, although my profession does involve working on vagina's all day long, so unless you're an obgyn or you've got some kind of other serious vagina experience other than being a vagina fan, I'm going to say I probably know a bit more about the topic than you.

Yeah, being a minority that statement right there almost never ends well. My point you can never generalize people, or their situations.

let's get off the stripping subject LOL

I don't think your emotions are reading my words instead of your eyes. I didn't say Brianna wasn't classy, I said she didn't show attributes of being classy in the clip.

I leave for 30 minutes and it is "Ball Brawl" on Vevmo!



/me runs for cover and knows better at this point then to chime in
