    Marvel girl and Kylea I have to say that i do agree with the power of media editing to manipulate footage onto whatever side they want to strengthen...contracts about editing should be mandated...unfortunately, I don't think the interviewee get's that right very often.

    Oh well, i have to give a high five to the sentiment of "more for dancers"...lol

    Sasha has a terrible attitude in person so if I have my choice of listening to Sasha or Tyra... I'll take Tyra! I don't even like Tyra either...

    Oh, and as for mandating the contracts about editing.... it won't work because there will always be people who promise one thing, do another and bite the bullet - pay the legal fines and go about their business.

    You're better off to just not talk.

    Screw the lightbulb headed bitch. She WAS a model and used her looks to make money, clothes on or off, what's the difference? Fucking hypocrite. Yes, it burns me up too, but like another dancer said she caters to the media and it's stereo- types.

    Trya Banks is a sad little shallow person who is riding the tail end of her career.

    She could of done SO much more than be some bubble headed twat who has a hard on for sex industry workers.

    She REALLY makes my ass itch.

    Yeah, I saw an episode where she was completely putting down a prostitute for working while pregnant. She suggested the girl get a job at McDonald's. Seriously, to raise a kid.

    Tyra either always wanted to be a stripper, but was so put down for her partial nudity in the modeling industry that it filled her full of fear, or else she judges herself harshly for all the "fierceness" she had portrayed as a sex symbol and takes it out on girls who don't have the guilt.

    I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. Tyra makes it very hard for me to control my temper. I used to have day dreams, esp after Sasha went on her show, about cornering her with a candid camera in an elevator or something, verbally ripping her a new one and posting it on the internet. I wonder how she'd react to a fellow model explaining the TRUTH about girls in the adult industry. Show her some of my runway footage spliced with a few of my pro scenes and one of my dancing reels, see what she says then. Catch her off guard, tell her to stfu and listen for a change.

    And then I think about "Juno" and how all the world knows that an award winning film was written by a dancing girl. It warms my heart to know that the biased media isn't having as much of an effect as they think they are with their trash talk. Despite all the bullshit about drugs/rape/pimps/abuse (which i'll admit has some basis in sad facts) we're still paying our way through school, caring for our kids, paying our bills, making music, movies, art, and old rich men happy.

    Exclamation Re: Does Trya Bank's Portrayal of women in the sex industry bother anyone else?

    I think Tyra in general is self-righteous and it seems when she does a show on entertainers she uses it to boost her own self esteem by slyly putting them down. I saw the show about dancers and I laughed because they are portrayed as drug using, low self esteem lowlives. While there are some dancers that are all these things the majority are just regular people that want to make extra money. What someone needs to do is a special on models and how they sleep around for opportunities and starve themselves and binge and purge, then show Tyra. Its all just TV tailored BS.

    Fuck her..... most models out there are bigger bitches than any strippers i have met. It seems that in our society "image" is so heavily rewarded so you have assholes like this woman getting way more fame than she deserves for what she really is. All she has to do is say a few empowering words (wooptidoo i say empowering shit everyday, wheres my 10 mill??) and the whole world thinks she is the black female jesus. Its such stupidity and that is why i dont watch any television so as to save myself from the mental battery. Usually the only thing that seperates a model/actress from a stripper or a hooker are a few physical features, personal connections, or the time and energy to "make" it (aka take the risk of making it or not). Many women who lack one or more of these elements but would otherwise be considered the "type" to model or act end up being strippers, porn stars, or hookers. Even the women who do make it in these other professions often have similar tactics for their success. You gunna tell me that no women in hollywood are sleeping with the "right" guys to make it to the top???? Tyra should put their asses on the show right next to all of the strippers she is trying to make an example of. fucking hypocrits.

    yeah, but a stripper wrote a movie about a pregnant teenager. people can write it off.

    While I do think Tyra is a hypocrite and can't stand her personality, mannerisms, fake hair, philosophies or BS that she brainwashes young women with, I think she does have an honorable quality and that is her work ethic. She has accomplished a lot in her lifetime and broke barriers. There's a lot of trash talking here and I think some is true and some is just bitching.

    One small step, my friend. If she can do it, so can we. It's only a matter of time before one of the many aspiring authors on this site/in this industry makes another breakthrough.

    I know that someone as emotionally crippled without the media's validation, like Tyra, will never change or see the women in the industry for who we are, not what we do, but she isn't everyone. Her terrible strategy of pointing her finger at every other female professional on the planet and saying "I'm better than you" doesn't make her a "black female jesus", just someone who's begging for the media and the viewers to tell her that she hasn't become a washed up has been yet.

    LMOL I agree!!!!

    I have to say that yes, she works hard, yes she has built quite the company and i admire any woman for doing that in the entertainment industry. However, it still is no reason to so publicly perpetuate stereotypes of an industry of which she is a TOTAL outsider. I saw someone wrote that one of her ex's cheated on her with a stripper? Dunno if it's true but that sheds some light on her vendetta. Many regular world folks have their neg. opinions but thy are not on National andIntrnationally viewed shows.

    If I thought going on a show would do anything I would but alas I do what i can, come on SW and vent! So, crazy that a group of anonymous strangers understand more than anyone in my "real life"

    I agree, I applaud here for taking herself up the ladder. The problem is that people make dancing look like such a bad thing, if that's the case I guess acting nor modeling is any better. To me it's nothing wrong with dancing as long as you know who you are and what you're doing it for. Now since the economy is bad, look who's come into the industry and now they look at it as a regular job for the time being. I think Tyra should keep her opinions to herself because in modeling you show your body and the actors and actresses portray themselves to be having sex and being naked in movies for a whole audience, so really it's no different.

    Sasha Grey was on Tyra and Tyra was obviously PISSED that she couldnt shake her up and that she kept saying that she was in this industry by choice. Its kind of funny!
    I watched the entire thing. The editing was SO obvious. And WTF are they talking about "you could end up wearing a diaper by 30" from having anal sex? Their DR was saying that! ANATOMY FAIL!

    Exactly. She simply can't accept that someone would treat the business as any other job.

    Really? It sure seemed like Tyra was the one who ate shit-covered cornflakes before THAT interview. What sort of terrible attitude are you referring to?

    I think that's probably the only useful thing that's come out of Diablo Cody being open about her dancing. The book is crap, and I didn't like the movie, but at least it is a dancer's work being given really high status.

    ^^agreed. While I liked Juno and "Candy Girl" b/c of the way Diablo Cody writes, the book wasn't the best for stripping... It really didn't portray dancing in the best way.. But it is nice to see her being accepted into mainstream.. I mean, she's working with Steven Spielberg! That's pretty amazing

    sorry for the threadjack but yeah, i remember reading candy girl and thinking "really???"....my experiences in dancing have been nothing like that. If they had been anything like hers I don't think I would have been able to do it.

So, speaking to the choir I know but it's really irking me.
