Rock of Love Bus‘ Taya has weathered her share of smack talk and derision from her fellow contestants. Most of them seem convinced that she carries a holier-than-thou attitude toward strippers, when as a nude model and feature dancer, it would seem that she’s cut from the very same, very skimpy cloth.
Taya recently took to her MySpace blog to clear up some of what she believes to be misconceptions. Taya reports: “I don’t look down on or think I’m better than anyone…I have never said anything bad about ANY person that works in a Gentlemen’s Club (strip club)…It is my belief that this misunderstanding has come about due to editing. On several occasions, I was asked about my occupation. In attempts to explain it, I had to also explain how being a ‘stripper’ is different than what my job is (since it was regularly being compared to that). Explaining that there is a difference does not mean that I believe myself to be better…just different.”
She also (and helpfully!) details the difference between “burlesque feature entertainers” and strippers:
A “stripper” or a “house” “entertainer,” as I like to refer to them, is a lady who is affiliated with a specific Gentlemen’s Club or “strip club.” I am a national touring Las Vegas-style Showgirl. My list of credentials and accolades is what makes me marketable to venues throughout the country. I have choreographed theme shows. I have high end, elaborate, custom-made costumes and props. I employ stage assistants, DJs, and MCs to execute my shows. I perform at some of the top clubs in the country, including mainstream venues like the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. I am paid for each stage performance. After each stage performance, I autograph and sell merchandise for my fans. My income is not based on tips and lap dances, like you’d see with “strippers” at a strip club. Although removing clothing is in both job descriptions, this is where the similarities end. Some would say that I do what “strippers” do, but “strippers” don’t do what I do.
So, there you go, it’s all about the craft.
Taya hits back at more accusations including the Penthouse promotion thing and Bret’s interaction with her and the rest of the girls in this post. After hearing her get badmouthed all season, a different perspective is at least a nice change. [Rock of Love Bus - Myth vs. Fact!]

I guess the question isn’t Team Taya or Team Teen Mom Barbie, but rather, “What does it say about the cast that a Penthouse Pet/ex-Stipper/current Burlesque dancer seems prim?” It says you must watch. Bring back I Know My Kid’s a Star!!!
hey taya u dumb dumb girl. do u take off ur clothes for money…yes that is stripping dont try and sugarcoat all the special effects that go into it
The most entertaining factoid I have learned from all this is that strippers can apparently have “credentials”.
Hey-O!

lame mouth Mindy. So Tayu must be doing something right.
Jamie is gone this week!!

I think Taya is the prettiest of them all and she has a brain which most of them do not. I know that Bret pick’s Mindy because big mouth you know the one who look’s like a man and lost her 3 kid’s and was upset because her ex didn’t want to come on national tv and make a _%+_^~@^$`@*%#! out of his self and the 3 kid’s he is raising while she run’s around and parties all the time.
Mindy is a nice girl but she is so annoying, her voice and alway’s blaming Taya for her being stupid what a joke
Uh, yeah Taya. What you do is NOT burlesque. http://end-of-radio.com/the-howard-stern-show/penthouse-pets-taya-parker-and-teagan-presley/
sooo taking of your clothes and doing pro stripper things on a pole DOESNT make her a stripper?
Good for you Taya, for not allowing some of those idiots to tear you down and take you down the “postal” trail along side with them. You conducted yourself with the uttmost integrity throughout the show and I am so happy Bret saw a woman of substance in you as well as someone he wanted to see himself with at the end of the day! There are very few beautiful woman inside as well as out but you my dear, fit both criterias! BRAVO to your winning Brets heart!!
….oh and one thing, Mindy was a trashy, hateful little child who’s pouting and whining, made pathetic t.v. She is obviously not as good hearted as she would like the free wolrd to think she is cause if looks could kill, Taya would be dead 10 times over. Geeze Mindy, your jealousy of Taya was SOOO obvious.. Im so glad the best woman won in this case!!
I THINK THAT TAYA IS THE MOST FAKE ~$~%@_`&@(^&*_# ^$#@(_`_^`~@!`~$+ IVE EVER SEEN…
SHES FAKE, RIDICULOUS AND A FREAKING LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!
TRYING TO PRESENT HERSELF LIKE A “DECENT” WOMAN, OH NO, SHE DOESNT TAKE OFF HER CLOTHES FOR A GUY “THAT SHE LOVES” IN A DATE, BUT SHE GETS NAKED FOR MONEY… WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE DO THEN… STRIP HERSELF DOWN TO TAKE NAKED PICTURES. AND TALKING SMACK ABOUT STRIPPERS???… ASHLEY AND FARRAH WERE MORE REAL THAN SHE COUD EVER BE…SHES A SLUT…I FEEL THAT MANDY GOT ROBBED SHE REALLY LOVES BRET AND WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST PICK.
BUT I BET BRET WILL SEE THAT ON TIME… IF HE HASNT YET.
