Re: Stripper on Oprah today
I too happen to be not only judgemental of the girls who push things too far for the camera (and off camera too) but also of the media itself for unfairly using clips of girls giving extras. You never see the girls who refuse to do them on the hidden cameras. Just those who do. I think they paint a biased picture of the rest of us.
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
I totally agree with both of you. We, as dancers, should try to uphold what little respect we have, and not allow others to undermine us in any way.
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
I agree. I don't like those slutty chicks who pretend to be the average stripper. Let's face it, most of us would not do something so sleezy. That kind of behavior makes all of us look bad and is very bad publicity for the industry as a whole. I think that it cuts down on potential business.
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
i saw it but from what the bachalor said the producers set that stunt up for the cameras. the girls probley got paid to do it but still.....
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
This is just one more way for the Hollywood Stereotype to be reinforced and perpetuated. The media does not sell extra newspapers/movie tickets/advertiser time by portraying exotic dancers as hard working girls who are dancing on stage and giving no contact table dances. The media earns extra money when sex, crime, and/or scandal is involved. Therefore virtually everything that the "general public" has learned about dancers from the media is negative - as in the implied 3 way sex undertone of the Oprah show.
I've never been on Oprah, but from personal experience on other shows I can guarantee you that the incident was probably staged and scripted. However, people watching at home do not know this, and assume that what they were watching was "the genuine article". It's no wonder that the "general public" assumes the negative things they do about dancers based on only seeing these sorts of incidents, or worse incidents, in the media!
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
I too saw the show....
I sat there at first thinking "hey, cool,,,strippers on t.v. in a positive light...just having fun" then the beach scene came and made them both look like floozies! I also figured that it was scripted (of course) but most people (especially Oprah viewers) will more than likely not realize or not care. It looks bad.
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
I think they did that more for the reson of making trista and ryans segement more interesting,not really to make strippers look bad,I actually had it on,I saw bchelor bob,another overdone thing by the media,him and the last two girl,then I saw the previews with ryan getting the dance and trista all criying,they just did to make their segement exciting,actually Iam sick of them ,she ,trista is trying to become famous by all this exposure,its ridiculous,only in todays society,do people give a fuck about some girl and who she chose,from some stupid show,to marry.

I'm so with you on this one. I don't care for the reality tv trend at all.
I also agree that the media loves to make dancers look bad too.
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
I think, in general, the media makes us look like sluts no matter WHAT! As for trista and her stupid fiancee, I'm so SICK of seeing them everywhere!!! Good god! What will happen to them when reality sets in? Another show about their divorce?
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
trista just annoys the hell out of me - personally i don't think she'd even be giving her fiance the time of day if it weren't for the fact that it's made her a so called hot commodity in media world - she just seems like a complete fake and way too interested in getting t.v coverage - for god sakes, her wedding is going to be on t.v as well...is she going to have the first 'reality honeymoon' show next?
sorry, i just want to flik her in the forehead sometimes!!!!
Re: Stripper on Oprah today
Re: Stripper on Oprah today

it's ok, really
