I don't need to click through to the linked story to know what you're probably talking about: yes, there is. It's a reality tv show. If you're really, really bored, it's riveting. (Okay, I watched like 2 episodes once.)
Just checked, and yeah, it's Jackie. As of a year ago or so, the show was people being people who hang out in the sexually charged work out environment, and are willing to exhibit for the camera.
"She's got fierce abs, a sexy voice and the most amazing lip gloss I have ever seen."
Full liberation is still in the distant future.
I've never seen the show, but the story makes the whole thing seem sort of pathetic in a "I'm hip, too" way. She is great looking, though.
I caught a few episodes of that show. I kind of liked it. Her Mom is a devout Mormon, which was entertaining. She really cracks the whip at her employees, which I also enjoyed as some of them are massive douchebags who need a kick to the ass.
BTW, she turns 40 this year. (SFW)
Jackie, let me be frank with you...and tomorrow, you can be Frank with me.

Comment NSFL, as we now say. But there's ick on my mind, and so I must share ick with you.
The high was 94 in LA today, and with the high come the annual Visitation of the Flies. I swat and bear it every year until I count a dozen at once, and then I break out the Raid.
Today I noticed for the first times that the flies are all heavy with their young, and a good swat bursts them, freeing the little white larvae to wriggle and die--can they live off the corpses of their mothers? This was slightly more distressing to me than previous years' swats.

Where have you been? Are you not glued to Bravo? Next to the Weather Channel, it's the best thing on basic cable. (Yes, Jackie is totally rad.)

Because the truth--which is that a lot of suburban housewives are bored shitless and the fantasy of a partner who's attractive, in shape, and might actually understand where they're coming from is mighty appealing--is too threatening?

Sounds like the flies are rich in protein right now. Gorge while the getting is good.
wrongshore, I really, really wish you hadn't told me that. don't you know I'm crazy and have irrational phobias??! urgh. stupid natural world with your stupid pullulating ways.
I'll go with Ogged and say: hot, hot, hot.
But I think women's sexuality is more fluid than men's, anyway.
This struck me as true:
"Women are attracted to someone who can walk into a room and who's self-possessed and confident, and that makes them feel safe," she said. "I understand what women want. Completely. It's not looks. It's not all of that. They want a feeling of safety. They are highly attracted to personality and confidence and a very self-possessed person. And I do think I do have those qualities."
But I think you'd be surprised how many men are attracted to this too. Less than women, but not uncommon.
Isn't the word "turning" instead of "flipping"?
I guess that as a personal trainer she might be said to renovate her clients and then sell them at a profit, but...
Flipping is basically very aggressive turning.
"I thought for sure that these nuns were all crazy, sex-starved lesbians" she said. "And some of them were young and attractive and so I thought, 'Well, I've got to know what's going on in their adjoining house.' "
Ms. Warner stole a key and broke in but was sorely disappointed.
"I thought I would go in and it was going to be a full-time party," she said. "And instead they sat and knit."
contra comment #10, she would probably find the same disappointing boringness if she burst into the house of her housewife fans.
Did this story not have an editor?
MR. COHEN and others suggest it's a combination of things: Ms. Warner's sex appeal, business savvy and knack for connecting with different kinds of people. More important, perhaps, is the portrayal of Ms. Warner's life -- waking up with another women [sic] in her bed -- which is done without judgment, in a matter-of-fact way.
Would these women still be attracted to Jackie if she were straight? And would that be considered too lesbian of them?
I'm a straight male and have had a massive crush on Mike Rowe from 'Dirty Jobs' for years now.
Who's with me?
and might actually understand where they're coming from
Means "might actually know where the clitoris is"?
Flipping is speculator's cant for churning.
