Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

and porn stars, promiscuous girls may have had that kind of horrible stuff happen to them (being raped, etc..) but you have to understand that not all of them have, and they like what they do. It's sad that girls turn out like that after such a horrendous experience, but hey, they gotta do what they gotta do. it isnt there fault that that happened to them.

So because of unfortunate events in their life, they basically have to deal with it and that's the only solution for themselves right? There's nothing more to their future?

I missed the post rape memo that gave me the steps to be come a porn star. Who do I complain to?
I missed the memo after being assaulted and molested that gave me the steps to become a stripper.
Damn.

That's gotta be like...what....eight or nine different drugs I could've dabbled in as well as potentially thousands of dollars. All those plastic costumes and cheap nails. Hmmmm.


Yeah, after I went through that stuff, I managed to bootstrap up and have a wonderful family and a loving husband.

Maybe missing that memo wasn't such a bad gig afterall.

HAHA, um no. i think thats a pretty damn stupid statement because my sister has been in a couple of videos and i dont and will never consider HER as a porn star. THey dont even take off all there clothes or fuck the rapper on camera so how can that be Borderline porn? just because there lookin all sexy makes them porn stars? . &yeah, there might be other jobs that dont require you to redeam yourself or whatever but have you ever stopped to think that it's sometimes HARD to find a good job. people that have to work as strippers or w.e to put money on the plate dont have it easy. Trust me. you cant just find a job just like That. and for the people that choose to have a job full of them taking off their clothes and such, let them do it. That doesnt make them trashy. it makes them people who do what they wanna do, without care for what other people think.

For the women that are forced to do something like stripping for money to feed their children, are only doing it because of their circumstances. They usually don't enjoy what they do. Anyone remember seeing Leileine (sp?) from Charm School? About how she said she had to swallow her pride to dance and put food on the table for her kids? And about the video girls, maybe they don't fuck the rapper or his entourage "on camera" doesn't mean it's okay. Not only is it portraying a negative image towards women as a gender, but in a lot of cases, the video girl has to sleep with the rapper or her entourage to get featured in the video. Things have to be dug deeper and evaluated rather than just observing the surface.

Reminds me of a quote I did on one of my readings today that really caught my attention:

"Did Sojourner Truth walk all those miles and bear her breasts in the name of equality so that her heirs could have the right to jiggle their breasts on BET?" Jamila, Shani. "Can I get a Witness?". Colonize This!. Daisy Hernandez and Bushra Rehman. Emeryville, CA: Seal Press, 2002. 393.

Probably cited that wrong, please feel free to correct me. I'm a beginner!

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

If even women like you xolovinyoo, think its ok for women to degrade themselves and be treated live objects then what hope do we have??? none...

The only people that can stop this cycle are the women themslves but no if they think it's ok then we'll never acheive equality becuase we're supposed to all get boobs jobs and jump around in our bikini's for the boys...

seriously some women need to get a life....

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

Oh dear god.... Watching her on tv really annoys me. She has a huge bobble shaped head. Every time she talks, it's always her giggling cuz she can't come up with anything interesting to say. I hate her songs (in exception of Summer Nightfall, but she said that song was a joke. Pfft whatever). She's a pretty girl, but she's not all that pretty without mu. I've seen ordinary people (specially on here) who look 100x better than her without mu. Like they always say, fake boobs will take you places... but I think Tila used more than just her boobs. I never used to think anything bad of her till I saw her in some reality show (forgot the name) and she was on some comedy talk show on comedy central, everything she said just went to prove she's dumb as one would expect.

P.S. I don't agree or disagree on her career of choice, it's her life. I just think she's a squared head idiot.

LOL I just had an LSAT flashback!! Logical reasoning, here I come!

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

i'm sorry but i hardly believe that shit about stripping/porn is the only job they can get. If thats the case, then damn near every woman would be a stripper/porn star. McDonalds (like any other fast food place) will hire ANYONE. McDonald's hires mentally challenged people (which is great) but you're trying to tell me that a woman couldn't get a job there but someone with autism or any other mental disorder could?

Bullshit. McDonalds was my first job and I hated it, but I know plenty of people who have been working there for 5-10 years and they are managers at Mcdonalds, making at least $13 an hour. I'll never understand why a woman would resort to stripping or porn before stopping by her local fast food restaurant, walmart, or convenient store first. (once again I've worked at a convenient store as well, and the things you can accomplish there over time are great)

I would never hope someone would work at a fast food place for all their life, because I think that most people can do better than that. But even if its temporary, or if it lasts for 5 years, working at Mcdonalds would surely put food on the table (at a discount!) without degrading yourself.

A woman may overlook these jobs and opt for stripping because they know it will bring in more money, quicker. But it will also degrade them. I don't care what anyone says, there is a reason why these girls strip, and its not because "they don't care" and "they do what they want and they like to strip or do porn" once again, thats bullshit.

But guess what? I really don't care what women do. I'm a woman and I am trying to make the right decisions in my life, although I know I'm young and I have a lot to learn. What other people do is none of my business, and has no affect on my life, but if I am asked my opinion then I'm going to say it. I don't care what "Tila Tequila" does with her life...she has absolutely nothing to do with me. I have my opinions on her, and thats that.

I'm done now. I don't have the time to repeat myself anymore, because its obvious you're not getting it. Are you getting offended because you look up to her and you want to be just like her? lol...good luck with that

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

Doesn't bartending make just as good money as strippers? I'm not in the zone with these types of jobs so I'm just going by tips given when out at the bars (not stip clubs, regular 'pubs'). I think this debate will always be 50/50 no matter where it's posted. People who chose a stripper career path, doesn't always mean they'll be a stripper for life (least that's what I'd think, since the body does get older not younger as years pass by). I will agree tho, people do it for fast easy cash, which is really sad, but to those who do it at desperate times (grass might always be greenier $$$ on their side). All in all, it's one's personal choice, all we can do is judge right?

That's going to be one huge orgy fest, I can already sense it. Ewww *cringe*

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

there are a lot of jobs that give good tips...even a waitress. And a lot of young, fresh looking girls as a waitress would make tons of money. Bartending gives good tips, damn even Hooters isn't as bad as stripping.

I don't think that women ever get out of that kind of life. every show on HBO or wherever that I see, women stay strippers for a very long time, and if they are prostitutes its even worse. They promise themselves oh, this is only temporary but 1 year turns into 5, 5 turns into 10, etc.

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

I am obsessed with these "find love on tv" reality television shows due to their pure absurdity and shamelessness. So, I know for a fact her show will be getting some heavy view time in my apartment.

Now, I don't necessarily admire Tila Tequila but I don't find her as horrible as other people think of her. I think she's cute because of her tinyness and her body is amazing but her head is huge and makes her appear to be a walking bobble head. Other than that, she's alright. Don't hate her, as well as not necessarily liking her.

Anywho, her show is going to be such debauchery and a train wreck of sex-crazed hetero boys and fighting lesbians (according to the teasers running aroud). It's like a car crash, you just can't look away. UGH, reality tv is such a guilty pleasure for me.

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

Who's going to watch this tonight? *raises hand* Although I am not a Tila fan, I am a sucker for 'reality tv: finding love' type of shows. I thought this would of been on VH1 like the others, but it's on MTV... how nice... teens watching and learning 'tricks' hehe. I hope some lesbians go straight and fall for one of the straight guy, but I doubt it. All focus on the show is on Tila's T&A, ugh.

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

i'm going to admit tila tequila is a gorgeous woman. but there's no way you can say she's not trashy.

i model but i can look at a clothed picture of myself and feel i have conveyed the message of glamour.

= glamour with a shot of sexy.

= glamour.

= trash.




sexyness (sexiness?) is a wonderful thing. as long as it isn't over the top and being used to beg for attention. ie, dita von teese. classy, classy lady

but what makes her sexy is: that she IS different and is breaking the boundaries, and that she has a LOT of respect for herself.

i'm not sure where i'm going with this.

i guess what i'm trying to say is that self-respect makes you a lot sexier than big boobs.

and that sex is good, but unfortunately we are starting to drown in it.


EDIT: i want to add that i am a loud and proud bisexual, but i can still be classy

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

1 guy in the show is a model from the Janice Dickinson show LOL Must she adjust her boobs every second? Geez... so far the show is going good only on parts when they show the candidates, when Tila is on she talks like such a simpleton *shrugs* Gotta love the guy who gave her laundry detergent as a gift! ROFL!!! LOL!

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

I was watching the show on vh1, the world's smartest supermodel, or something like that, and it pretty much showed that people like Tila are not considered real "models" and taken seriously by the fashion industry, which I agree.

I just can't watch this show. I'm boycotting MTV. The shit they show on there just makes me so pissed off at mainstream youth culture.

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

I saw an advert for this the other day. I'm so sick of reality shows, especially the ones about finding "love". Have any of the couples that "found love" this way actually stayed together? I mean, how realistic is all this? They aren't even going on real dates. They spend maybe an hour together and then the subject is off on another date with another person. The contestants aren't even competing for a person they know, just a pretty face (which, believe me, is a matter of opinion), a reputation and some cash. What a farce.

The only thing that makes this different from any other find love show is that it has a gimmick - she's bisexual. Which gives the show appeal for men and what have you, but.. I'm not really interested in watching a fauxlebrity meander her way through some 40 boys and girls. Seems slutty to me. Whatever gets her more attention though, right? I'm sure she too needs her fifteen minutes. I'm also sure that MTV offered her a nice chunk of change to do this. All the more reason to get on TV and make a mockery of love and dating.

Maybe I'm just a buzz kill?!

And, ftr, since whether or not she's a slut or a porn star is open for debate.. I simply think that she, and girls like her, "suffer" from having a histrionic personality. She'll do whatever she can for attention. Putting the focus on her looks is just her method, because she probably cannot get it any other way. But, that's just the kind of world we live in, isn't it?

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

I tried to watch this show the other night and just couldn't. I found her voice too annoying!

Re: Tila Tequila and her reality show

I think your financial obligations, have more to do with how things turn out, than just the act of getting raped, or molested. Lots of women get raped/molested, i doubt most of them turn into porn stars and strippers (or escorts). I do think though, if your in a bad place financially, and something like that has happened in the past (or happens), you might consider looking at all your possible means of income. Even more so if you know people who are in the business.

Kinda like... If you've already been degraded that much in the past, and lived through it, doing something like stripping, porn, escorting, whatever, can seem like a walk in the park. Not to mention, you can make good money, and justify it as taking advantage of or having power over the idiot men who come into those places, hire, pay, whatever. I know thats how a lot of the girls i knew who danced rationalized it. They had like 0 respect for the men in those clubs (which is ironic, because i doubt the men have much respect for them) and looked at it, as taking advantage of them (the men prolly felt the same way).

Once your in though, thats where the problem is. Since it's a lot harder to get out of that type of business, then it is to get in. Especially if you don't have an exit plan in place, and like so many (at least the ones that I've known) spend as much as you make. And then wake up one day in their late 20's, and realize that they don't make the money that they used to, and have nothing to show for the last 10 years.
