Hyman Roth was spittin' the truth...

"THIS IS THE BUSINESS WE CHOSE..." Movie stars, ballplayers... cheerleaders... if you don't want to be judged in the private eye - don't bother to try to stand in it, please. 

Case in point:  Kaitlyn Collins; former Green Bay Packers cheerleader - a seemingly nice attractive young lady who "defended" herself when a posted public photo of her was commented on by some Chicago Bears fans that called her "ugly"and other vile comments.  Kaitlyn.... Come on, really?

You chose to make a living by dancing in front of 60 thousand drunken Lambeau fans who paint their naked chests in weather that kills most living things - please! 

I can't say how much it bothers me when public figures complain about their lack of privacy.   Some arrogant overpaid ballplayer complains about how he has to answer to the press about why he's drinking beers and playing video games in the in the locker (see John Lackey) while his team is struggling to win a game just irritates the hell out of me.

The talent ladder you use to climb up to your dreams is the same ladder they will beat you over the head with later.  (Beauty, humor, physical prowess, talent, aggression)  Look at Ray Lewis,  poor guy says he's going to retire, praises Jesus and then we find a little deer blood on his elbow or whatever and everyone wants to know where the bloody white suit is...

Why do we all want the spotlight as long as it's rays are basking us in warmth but a little glare and we all want to go a little,  Michael Hutchence (who by the way suffered the worst public degradation which thankfully, he never lived to see).

Take solace in the fact that you Made It, Kaitlyn.  

You reached your dream job.  The fact that some drunken slobs on a Chicago Bears website are calling you names is a small price to pay for your dreams.   You will never have to deal with these people unless your next job takes you underneath a rock.   Pay it no mind.  But remember,  someday when your daughter tells you she wants to be a cheerleader,  tell her to go study her science books.

Talent always fades.  Jealousy stays young forever.
