54. People should be ashamed. Trashing his girlfriend. She actually studied dancing

Tue Jun 11, 2013, 12:40 PM

Jun 2013

with dance troupes. She wasn't Just a pole dancer. But she did follow her significant other all around, apparently, which might have made it difficult to work as a dancer. It doesn't say she worked as a pole dancer, either, though. I didn't watch any of the videos, I confess. Just read the article, so I could be wrong.

The point is, she isn't a villain just because she got dumped. And she isn't a villain because of her profession, whatever that may be. She's a young woman who apparently dreamed, and maybe can't let go of the dream, of being a ballerina. Many a girl has had that dream. She's not bad for having it.

ETA: NO, that was never my dream. After I decided I didn't want to be Miss America by age 6 I decided I would be a Marine like my father. He forbade it. So I joined the Army.
