Live Girls Unite
The day we watched this movie about strippers was the day I came to class in my stripper costume. I wasn't dressed as the stereotipical stripper with the long legs, big boobs and a nice body, but I was a much larger, unattractive woman. I admit that my costume was somewhat mocking strippers, but I just had to wear it because I got a kick out of it. I also have never been to a strip club, but the way I portrayed them didn't exactly fit the way the women were on screen. A big thing that stuck out was that some were educated, which I did not expect. However, what I 've seen in other movies or tv shows often portrays a sterotypical stripper to be a single mom trying to raise a child. To me this movie showed both ends of fence from having educated women to the typical image of a stripper that gets protrayed in the media.

I don't understand how you can have an opinion on who strippers are when you have never been to a strip club or apparently even met one. Do you believe everything you see in movies or on TV? For real?
For that matter, do you believe that single mothers aren't or cannot be educated? Or that they deserve to be mocked?
There are single mothers in this class. I sit by one. There are also former strippers in this class. I am one. I don't look like your costume and I was offended by it, as well as by this post. I'm glad you saw something that countered your stereotypes, but I think you need to educate yourself further.
