It’s funny, I wonder how those women on Twitter felt about her getting back with Chris Brown.

Dancing naked for money = shameful, bad role model.

Reuniting with your abuser = meh.

I don’t know anything about Rihanna’s music, but damn, I love this video! She looks fantastic! Where can I get that rhinestone bra?!

In reply to Amanda. Amen. I'm actually in Chicago right now at the complete opposite of a stage club. It has sent me into a deep depression as the only person who watches me on stage is the champagne room host and my audience of one gets weirder and weirder as the weeks go by.

I think she looks great but her moves, at least the ones that made the final cut we’re pretty Tame.

In reply to Wendy. I'm a fan of the stage as well. I often made more money on the stage than I did hustling lap dances, in a city that isn't known for being a stage city. When I got truly burned out, the stage was a refuge since I didn't have to seriously interact with anyone.

So about a month ago this guy from L.A. comes into my club, he’d shot some of the video and had all sorts of footage on his iPhone. Back in the VIP he shows me all of these long takes of her doing floor work in water and she did not look like baby stripper to me. She can do all the moves. He said she was high as hell the whole time, but really sexy. Um…he made me lap dance to Pour it Up, so….he was pretty sprung on her. She did look hot, I was surprised they didn’t use more of the footage I saw in the video, it was her on a bed, in a room flooded in water. She looked amazing. And I like that she hired experts to do the pole tricks instead of just the usual model/video girl types, because I think she does look like a baby stripper when she touches the pole, but …so do I. I try to avoid the thing.

All those hateful comments. Stay strong, Rihanna. I went through the same thing when I did the jean-thong thing back in the 90’s. Turn the other cheek, that’s what we’d say in the rectory.
