okay, so ive been away from the world of stripperweb for a week, since i was in CA and tahoe, and didnt go on the computer much! missed it though!
since i was taking a flight, i bought the may issue of cosmo magazine.
i saw an article in there, called "A porn magazine editor tells all"
Basically about some chick who writes for fashion/beauty, got a call to be an editor for a big name porn magazine. some of her worries before deciding to do it were "did i agree with the concept of porn enough to work there?" "was it a bad career move?" but since it was better pay, she went for it.
She was surprized about the models signing autographs topless! (oh my! boobs, NO! lol)
She says the most shocking thing qwas when a model came to her desk, and asked if her labia looked lopsided. she says, before she could answer, she had already pulled down her skirt. (oh my - a naked pussy! pff, its nothing she aint seen before! besides, we see naked-ness ALL the time haha)
SHe had to interview them and ask them questions to go along with their pictures, such as their hometown, hobbies and favorite sex positions.
but she admits wanting to REALLY ask, "why are you doing this? what do your parents think? don't you want something more for yourself?"
(people also ask these same kind of questions if yer a stripper. i could answer em...1. the money and while your young, make the most while u got. its something to save alot of money with if u dont have a degree. id rahter make more money doing it while im going to college, instead of struggling, working at the mall or something. 2. my parents dont know. alot of girls paren'ts dont know. ha. 3. yeah later, thats why im going to college. u think im going to be doing this when im 50? but for right now, i can say it aint bad. )
She said the photographers told a "harsher" reality. that some of the girls were high or drunk during photoshoots. (well i couldnt be drunk if i went to a photoshoot..cuz i turn red as a lobster after a few shots! lol.)
She writes that after working there a year, she quit. she says she was "tired of working in a seedy,sex saturated enviroment."
she concludes, "i wish i learned a positve lesson that disproved my previous judgement about the women who posed for these magazines, but i still think they arent moving in the right direction."
THEN, at the bottom of the page, it writes "the porn power trip"
and undernneath thagt bold title, says "Some strippers and porn models may act like they are leveraging their female wiles, but are they? their naked truth revealed." (ok, how did strippers come apart of this? lol. and how do THEY know the naked truth? based on their opinons? lol)
these are the "reasons"
*nude women can be powerful or powerless, depending on thier motivation and the pain or pleasure they devrive from the experience.
* some of these women have been sexually abused as children and may "end up" stripping to try to reclaim their lost power. (thats not true for every girl...and oh, "end up?" how horiable..ha)
*There are some women who take their clothes off for a living who a living who are driven by past abuse. some of those revisit the revulsion they experienced as victims, yet they're pardoxically drawn to it. they'll often use drugs or alachol to numb those reawakend motions. (wow alot of hard vocab in here for me! lol.)
[ So, to say my opinon about this article, yes, of course, stripping and porn isnt always glamours..alot of bad stories. but alot of us on here know that isnt ALWAYS the case. all the girls i know, including myself do this to save money, go to college, and dont see it as degrading themselves. (more like the men, right?) but seriously, i dont really mind this article, with its assumptions and shocking "truths". im sort of glad that this article didn't say "taking yoour clothes off for money is the easier job. you make 3-4,000 a night! its a glamours job! so check out your local clubs now and join the getting naked for money TRAIN!"
because then of course, that isnt the truth either. and it could result in having this industry not that specail anymore. just a bunch of chicks who thiink this job is like totaly nothing and easy then it will become just some stupid trend. bleh. stripping is suposed to be specail and mysterious...i think it takes a different and specail kind of woman to be in this industry. i guess i just dont want the media to exploit this business, more than they do now. i mean alot of good thangs got exploited and died off, thanks to the media. ]
anyways excuse this long thread. haha. jsut felt like discussing it. and would like to know your opinons too, hehe. i hope there isnt already a thread about this...lol. i loooked and i didnt see any.
