Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8dIx...946&feature=iv
This was what Tyra Banks said regarding sex work specifically pornography and prostitution. What really struck me was Dr. Drew's commenting and saying that "just because the girl says it's something she wants to do; doesn't make it healthy. A heroin addict wants to do heroin but that doesn't mean that the choice isn't destroying them..(ad-lib)"
It got me thinking about stripping as well; do you feel this way^^ about stripping and the money you make stripping? Is it money that was hard won? Are we really paying an equal emotional toll as we are gaining financially? Or are we just the lucky 1-2% that happen to make money on our looks like models, actors and other entertainers just in a sexual setting?
Weigh in please..

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
They are making it seem like every woman who strips will eventually become a prostitute or porn star. That's not fair.
It's like the "gateway drug" theory. Not everyone who smokes weed goes on to do crack or shoot heroin!

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
Exactly , But in that scince its more of a money addiction i suppose they feel.
Like , Well , I made Great money stripping , But i can make BETTER money prostituting! This is mostly for people who have really really high cost addictions , such as heroin , cocaine, ect. Needs the money fast and dosnt care how.
I see stripping as a fun entertaining way of making money.
You work with friends, Get all dressed up , Dont have to suck dick , a body is a body, if men are going to pay us to see it , then why should we feel bad.
Haha , This may be feminism, but personally i think everyones down on sex /adult entertainers because its the ONLY demise of men lmao . I mean , anything that subjects men to their knees and makes them hand over their money is going to be frowned apon , after all , they are the "superiors"*rolls eyes*
So if we stop doing it , they stop being "taken advantage of" there wives stop losing the money to pay bills , and everything is peachy , at least thats what the world is taught , haha. Idk.. =P

I think it's just a bunch of jealous bitches hating!!!! :D as Liberace said "I cried all the way to the bank" }:D

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
^^ I second the "Jealous bitches hating" comment.

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
Easy money? In that case every dime Tyra's ever made has been easy since she's been trading off her looks for how many years now?
-
Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
Tyra's just pissed cause she's over the hill and past her prime. She's reduced to third rate talk shows that are complete shit
-
Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
Didn't tyra's show get cancelled? Her ratings show the relevancy of her opinions to the masses. (not saying that in a rude way as I never liked nor disliked her or her show)
I don't think Tyra is a bad person & everyone is entitled to their opinions but her attitude often comes off judgemental.
-
Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
I guess it did get canceled. I watched one episode about the sex industry and turned it off after 5 minutes cause she pissed me off. She's a complete hypocrite. She condemns sex workers when she was essentially doing a sanitized version of our jobs. -_-
Looking at her pics she is hot....she needs a big cock in her ass and a ball gag in her mouth! }:D

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
There's been a lot of sex worker hate on that show. At the end of the day what we do is a JOB... it just happens to be interesting enough to show up in the media. That freaking show... uuuggghhh. Tyra hypes up everything as much as she can and banks off the shock value.
Stripping is not an automatic path to self destruction. I LOVE stripping compared to how I've felt about previous jobs I've had. Sometimes it is psychologically difficult, but I can handle that for being able to work 2 days a week and live comfortably. I'd rather deal with this job than go through the emotional turmoil of living in a crappy apartment in a ghetto part of town and buying groceries on food stamps, working five days a week... which is where I was headed before.
Some girls do seem to be more negatively affected by stripping (and the sex industry in general), but if you can't handle it, you shouldn't be doing it.

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
Her shows were so fake and funny. She adapts and adopts. If the situation seems negative, but the audience is against her personal view she adapts and slightly changes her view and spouts morality. If she is talking to someone she is not worried about impressing she adopts a stereotypical sister persona using slang and the like. Did anyone else ever notice the phenomena of the disappearing guest on her show? If someone continually opposed her views, but made valid points and was getting cheers from audience she would break and they would be either out of cam shots or gone from stage the rest of the segment. My favorite show was a plastic surgery show where she told a girl she should love herself and didn't need plastic surgery or weaves. The girl said she knew she didn't need it but wanted it, then pointed out Tyra wore weaves and had her nose done. Tyra proclaimed it was for her career and the girl pointed out she wasn't still a model. Tyra was visibly angry and after the break that girl was cut out of all the shots and had no more speaking parts. Every show about sex workers was done with disdain written all over it. She even talked down to the legal prostitutes working at brothels. How can you judge someone who isn't breaking the law simply on the basis of occupation?

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
I think Tyra Banks is a damn hypocrite. After watching her interview with Sasha Grey a few years back, I've never been able to take her seriously again. Serious slut-shaming. (I like the first few seasons of ANTM as much as the girl, but Janice Dickinson was the only honest thing about that show.)
And Dr. Drew is one of the saddest excuses for a doctor in recent public memory. His shtick would probably get him disbarred if not for his insane (&, in my opinion, insanely ignorant) popularity.

Did you just say that prostitution is "mostly for people who have [drug] addictions"? Really?

Why not, out of curiosity?

Having done all three now, I would say that physically they are exactly the same. Put your body in the positions that best profess the emotion or action you are trying to convey. On other levels, though, I feel that stripping (or sex work in general) loses the artistry that comes with both modeling an acting. Each of the latter requires an intense vulnerability that I feel is lost in sex work. A little sliver of truth that you bring to the stage, or to the frame-- that truth is little bit of YOU. The rest is built around it. In sex work, when we create characters, it's more of a mask. Little "Vika" in the club hasn't that sliver of vulnerability. She's a completely masked version of me, that mask providing me safety and strength. She is pure creation, down to the way in which she slithers and prances through the club.
Rant over.

That seems like a fair enough comment. I agree with it.
I'm not saying all dancers are comparable to drug addicts... but just because you want to dance/enjoy dancing... doesn't mean dancing doesn't fuck a lot of people up and ruin their lives.
That said. Tyra is a cunt and I'd like to push her down a nice long flight of stairs. <3

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
So I decided to go check out some of Sasha Grey's stuff on YouPorn after I watched this....
Once I was done masteurbating, I couldn't help but think wow, that girl is a frikkin' millionaire.
-
Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
Didn't Tyra do a show a long time ago where she was an undercover stripper? I tried to find it online but I saw it a long time ago and she never went through with it.... Oh but she could strut around in her underwear for Victoria secret? Hmmm....
-
Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
^Yeah, she freaked out and couldn't go on stage in her underwear. Even tho her career only exists because of her going on stage in her underwear! Tyra is such a judgmental phony.
-
Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
For the first 1-2 years of stripping, I loved it.
For the 3-4 years of stripping, I felt like I was selling pieces of my soul for $$$.
This was just my experience. For someone who has never had experiences in the sex industry (like Tyra) to make such a claim is totally unfair.
That being said, let's be honest...you could make the same statments about show business. Or modeling. Or pretty much any other job.

Semi-bad quality... but this clip is 100% accurate representation of Tyra Banks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP4PrnxcM2A

Re: Money That Comes That Easy Has a Lot of Consequences..
^ I was drama-free, drug-free, alcohol-free, extras-free, etc. And I made a ton of money. I just put a massive amount of emotional effort into the job, and after a couple of years, it wore me down. It's not really a confession. I think it's considered normal when people burn out of extreme jobs.
Not sure what you meant by your comment referring to me.
