    Default Tyra's at it again... (rant!)

    It's 3 in the morn and I'm watching todays rerun of Tyra's show. She's talking about sex workers and how shocking it is that these are MOM's doing this and being so public about it.

    Now she's having these daughters tell their mom's wjat they think of their jobs and shit.

    Does anybody here think that working for Victoria's Secret is working for a market that celebrates and exploits the sensuality (and sexuality!) of women??
    I mean come on. The commercials all over the t.v. Sport's Illustrated for men??? Maxim? FHM? HELLLOOO

    Come one ladies. I know some of you get me and can be more elquent about this that I am right now. I feel the same about hollywood actresses that make money off their sex appeal. SEX APPEAL

    I'm just tired of this double standard with society WTF!!!

    What about that infomerical "Flirty Girl Fitness"??? Have you seen that commercial? They say flirty girl because "stripper" is too much of an offensive and low-brow word these days. But it's STRIPPER.
    These bitches (and I'm sorry I'm sure not all the customers are bitches), but some of these bitches want to look down on us and bad-mouth us but they will take these stripper classes to liberate themselves and shit.

    ^^My sister is one of these bitches. Before she found out I was a stripper she told me about a great sexy fitness class she took with a pole and shit. She felt so wonderful and sexy. Then I told her I was a stripper. Omg you never seen a 360 like that. She didn't respect my job, didn't like it, blah blah blah.
    I told her I can teach her all that stupid class offers, and more that she can handle. LOL

    uugghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ugghhh. Bitch!! Now she's trying to get into the head of her guest and say that she doesn't know what she's saying. That she's stuck in her past and get all "psychologist" on her and shit. Saying she sounds like a child!!
    Then getting the whole lame-ass audience to applaud with her bitch-ass.

    Why Tyra, why?????

    Tyra just needs to grow up and mind her own business. She's just trying to make money, but she forgets that what she's doing actually effects other people's lives.

    and she's building this show to totally favor hre point of view. she reaches out to daughters who feel bitter about their mom's jobs, hires a psych professional who shares her point of view, and of course the audience is gonna be all about it.

    what about those daughters who support their mom's and praise their fearlessness or skills as a mother?
    NOOOO, heaven forbid those perfectly functional families make it on her BIASED show

    Where the hell does a former supermodel get off telling other people they can't use their bodies/sexuality to make a profit?

    Plus, where does a former supermodel get off acting like she's qualified to talk to people like she's a psychologist, trying to counsel them on their problems etc.?

    Ugh.

    hm........ wasn't this the same woman that gained quite a bit of fame by posing in underwear and bathing suits? methinks so.

    let's face it. subjects like this = ratings. It doesn't mean it's fair to us, but ratings mean more money, and more advertising. She doesn't want to play devil's advocate because she knows that someone's going to bring up her panty-clad past. Let's face it, there's nothing exciting or titillating about a dancer or sex worker that's HAPPY with what they do. People don't want people to be happy - they want people to be more miserable then they are. Is this depressing? Yes. But at least those people can watch tv and go, "Well at least I'm not them."

    As for Flirty Girl Fitness... Well, it looks fun to me. I'm thinking about getting the DVD's. I like that it doesn't just focus on pole and chair work, but also club style dancing as well.... What I don't like is when you get girls that buy dvds like that, and buy a pole and do pole dancing, but totally hate on us for dancing. That's what bothers me. My bestie is taking pole dancing classes right now, and I'm glad to say that she was actually viewed as being an asset due to the fact that she used to dance. In fact, they named a move after her, and want her to start teaching! There were a few girls that were hating, but the instructor basically told them that if they couldn't be open minded, they needed to leave.

    tyra really, really bothers me. to me, she has the same viewpoint as people in news who are biased.... not gonna name names, but really.... i'd rather see someone on the show who is EDUCATED and playing devils' advocate rather than just jumping on the biased bandwagon.

    don't worry bluelight, I get you too. I'm tired of people viewing my job as being taboo or scandalous because I'm confident enough to know what I'm selling - my confidence and my time. I'm tired of people thinking that we all have mental issues or drug problems. I had mental issues before i started dancing, thank you very little.

    Let's face it. This woman makes a living now off of her opinion, so why would she tell the other side of the story? It'll show how full of shit she is!

    I like some of Tyra's shows but a lot of them are stupid and pointless. When I was in high school, I especially hated her ones on high schoolers. She always makes it seems like all teens are just buck wild. A few months ago, she had a show where her and some other people were giving sex advice, and she told a girl it's ok to just hook up with people. I'm not saying it's not ok to hook up with people, but how can she call herself being a role model to teens, and telling them not to have sex, but then says it's totally ok to hook up.

    You are certainly on point!

    But Tyra's target audience is all the women that are sitting at home and CAN'T use their bodies/sexuality to make a profit!

    Even Sasha Grey's interview on Tyra was manipulated to further reinforce the negative stereotype of teens in the adult industry.

    Sasha explains it here:



    Tyra is SUCH a ratings whore...

    Mysexprofessor.com has a whole section on Tyra Banks. I was too tired to read it last night but obviously she's inflaming the whole industry.

    ok, so i'm gonna fess up here. I danced for 3 years, then I did a year stint as a housewife..... Now I'm working a part time job and dancing part time. Having done the housewife thing, however.... You find your tv shows you love, and let's face it.... You drink the damn koolaide.

    I'm not saying it's right. However, let's face it....... Tyra knows her audience, and whores herself out to it I MEAN plays up to it well.

    Will someone stab the woman in the eyeball with a fork already? GOOOOOOOOOD. She really isn't even that attractive, I think. There's many other women out there that have prettier faces, she just bothers me.

    Hey Bluelight! Feel free to come and make fun of daytime tv with me anytime, I'll provide the wine! I'll just warn you, don't be concerned if my dog is an appetizer whore, ok? She pretends she's a starving pup, but I stuff her silly.

    She would argue, pointlessly, tha GQ is not a porn magazine.

    Still, tits are tits.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I'm totally going to find the forum for her show and post this there!
    Exotic dancing is like any other job.
    If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.
    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.

    Oh please...Sorry but this girl has been a supermodel since how old ? She doesn't have to worry about money considering she gets paid to play therapist for an hour. Who the fuck is she to judge how we support ourselves and kids ?

    the ironic thing is that if she hadn't been a supermodel, she probably would have ended up as one of us. too bad, she really could use the perspective.
