Enter the Shooter Alley strip club in Doraville, Ga., and you'll find plenty of naked young women entertaining their male clients, writhing and shaking only inches away from their faces. It was there that two dancers, Ashley Miller (known as "Adrienne") and Heather Johnston (who went by "Charlie"), met recently and became fast friends. The pairing proved ill-fated. Both were reportedly on a destructive tear. Johnston, 19, was heavily using drugs, according to a fellow stripper at the club. And Miller, 18, had struck up with a reputed drug dealer. The two reached a nadir last week when they robbed a bank in Acworth, Ga.
Miller and Johnston became a media sensation. Caught on a security camera wearing designer shades and giggling as they made off with the loot, they became known as the "Barbie Bandits." They were so sloppy that cops cracked the case in two days, arresting Miller, Johnston, the bank teller—who police say was in cahoots with the two—and Miller's male companion, who allegedly hatched the plot. Now the four face a mix of theft and drug-related charges. But the most intriguing question remains: How did two girls who grew up in comfortable middle-class homes with a wealth of opportunity wind up as exotic dancers and accused crooks?

Money and opportunity are a poor substitute for morals.
Where's my tissues? I think I'm gonna cry. (sarcasm!!)
When the late night ads come up for the girls gone wild videos, I find myself wondering how many parents are not only aware of that behavior but how many approve of it
Are they Rudy or Romney voters?
She gets into drug debt and her dealer tells her to come up with the money FAST.
You gotta serve somebody.
With multiple felonies a lot of places won't want them ... ever.
Bored suburban girls often crave the masculinity they find in urban black culture - but when they fail to distinguish between masculinity and thuggery it leads them to a bad end.
I hear they're both carbon-neutral...
Man, I love those red cross pictures! :)
According to one Mom, "She is a great kid. She's made a bad choice."
Many, many "bad choices".
Awwww. Poor things. Probably society's fault. WE failed them.
So, let's just give them probation. Then, five years from now we'll be asking, "How did two girls who grew up in comfortable middle-class homes with a wealth of opportunity wind up as exotic dancers, bank robbers, and accused murderers?
Hmmmm. It appears that "Skinny" took her under his wings and made her worse.
%^&* happens.
It was only a matter of time before the parents came out with the "she's really a great kid" BS. Properly raised kids don't rob, cheat and strip. Probably raised by a working Mom with the computer as her baby-sitter.
They are hardly barbies, either. More like ugly Bratz dolls on meth.
