Stripped of Her Faith (Stripper Mom Playboy Interview)

Playboy.com ^ | May, 2002

[csvset]

did you ever see anyone from the church or the school at the club as a patron?

Did they put a dollar in her collection plate?

Show us your tithes, baby.

[ppaul]

CS: ...I was deeply disappointed with their actions throughout this entire situation.

Their actions are the best thing that's ever happened to her.
#1, they exposed her sin and hypocrisy.
#2, she got more fame and publicity than she derserves.

[xsmommy]

help me accomplish my goals

her admitted goal is posing for playboy. every woman's dream!!!

[ppaul]

CS: I am. I have to live my life for me. I can't live my life for the public or the church.

And, apparently not for your daughter, or the Lord Jesus, for that matter.

[xsmommy]

well seeing that it came from Playboy.com, i figured it would not be coming from MY point of view. but i read it anyway and sat here gritting my teeth!!

[ReaganCowboy]

All she needs to do now is to ask for John's head...the current king of this world must be pleased with her dance.

[AppyPappy]

The terrible thing is that someone will make sure her daughter sees her pictures in Playboy. Imagine the child's reaction. Then stripper mommy will go ballistic because she will be held responsible for her behavior (how cruel).

[UK_Kid]

She is a single mother, who chose not to rely on welfare, but got a job, and then exercised her choice to send her child to a private christian school - what's the problem?!?!

[xsmommy]

i know, how very criminal! for strippymom is doing her absolute best to SHIELD HER DAUGHTER from the seamy side of life, she said so! stripping for a living and posing nude for playboy notwithstanding, dontcha know....

[Orual]

A single mom, Christina danced at a gentlemen's club in Rancho Cordova, California to pay the $400 monthly tuition at Capital Christian School, operated by one of America's biggest Assemblies of God churches.

I have many interests. I got straight As in high school and great grades in college, so I have unlimited possibilities and opportunities.

Employment opportunities in Rancho Cordova.

No stripper jobs listed.

[ppaul]

She is a single mother, who chose not to rely on welfare, but got a job...

Wrong.
She became a prostitute.

[Kevin Curry]

The pastor did exactly the right thing. The proof lies in his vilification by pornographers and their ilk. The pastor will continue to earn the scorn and ridicule of the world long after this woman has earned the world's praise and gained wealth and notoriety as a consequence of her self-centered decision. By her own admission she isn't a victim. She had and has many, many options outside the pormography-stripper trade that could provide for her and her child. She willfully chose to be "good with a pole" and either won't or can't see how that is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This isn't even a close call. In fact, the reaction of supposedly Christian FReepers to this story will disclose immediately whether they have the Spirit or not. Those who do not will seek aggressively to justify her self-willed behavior, and will condemn the pastor who strived not just to minister to her temporal needs but to her and her child's spiritual needs as well.

Working as a prostitute (selling sex for money) is hardly a "job". There are plenty of jobs out there. She doesn't need to get one that will cost her the rest of her and her daughter's life.

[the-ironically-named-proverbs2]

too predictable

[hobbes1]

The pastor did exactly the right thing

Hmmmmm.....Seems to me, he could've handled it in a much quieter, more graceful, and ultimately more dignified manner.

Simply, had he let the kidlet, get thru Kindergarten and informed the mother she would not be had back, there would be no adverse media for his church or school, no Hype for the stripper, No Playboy shot....etc...

This is not the first ham handed disciplinary attempt by this guy.He is probably an O.K. sort, but the evidence seems to indicate that he acts first, and considers later....

"I have many interests. I got straight As in high school and great grades in college, so I have unlimited possibilities and opportunities."

Sorry, but she herself disagrees with you. She wasn't a mother forced by grinding poverty and lack of choices to prostitute her body to save the life of her child. She was and is a bright, capable, and educated person who was tempted by the prospect of earning fast cash without having to work hard. She most assuredly is NOT a victim. She is self-willed, self-absorbed, and proud.

[FITZ]

CS: I have shielded her as much as I could.

What a liar. She craves publicity, she's not trying to shield her daughter from anything. Because she lies about that, how would I believe the part where she claims church members came to the club?

[strela]

PB: Cole is implying that stripping is a sin. Do you see it that way?

CS: It's definitely a difficult job, but the reason I was doing it was to provide the best life for my daughter that I possibly could, and I don't believe that is a sin.

So, if my ultimate goal is to "provide the best life" for my children, I've got God's carte blanche to sell crack cocaine on street corners to other women's children or become a Mafia hit man. Riiiiiight.

[Brad C.]

Looks to me like she has something thing to be proud of. She is an attractive woman, who as you say found a way to make a lot of money without a lot of effort on her part. Strippers make an incredible amount of money for the most part. She seems to be in control of the situation for now, so let her run with it.

I have to give her credit for not going public with the names of the congregation members who visited the club. They apparently thought it was their duty to rat out on her.

Actually, she makes two different statements on the matter, the one specific to the question you are adddressing, says something much different, but You must have missed that....To Wit...
It was very sudden that the financial responsibility of providing for my daughter fell onto my shoulders, and this was the first opportunity that seemed like it would help me accomplish my goals.

She then goes on to say, that her future is bright and she has more options....Which you have already pointed out.
