<p>3bm, that’s what I was trying to say.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It is somewhat difficult to see how Bristol’s GED and post HS employment qualifies her for providing: “lobbying, public relations, and political consulting services.” But, those are among the purposes of the single member LLC Bristol established back in 2009 to receive her compensation from Candies.</p>
<p>I guess you could speculate that as far back as 2009 Bristol had a plan that was going to immediately build on her status as celebrity unwed teen mom, daughter of former VP candidate.</p>
<p>It appears that Levi has just been doing the same with his status. So what?</p>
<p>

<p>Bristol may just be following the bigger money in her mom’s show. It will be interesting to see if Levi can compete. Then it will be fascinating to see what Bristol does if Levi hits it big.</p>
<p>^^^I won’t be watching either one. I can’t imagine what either one of them would be doing that would hold my attention long enough to watch a whole show of it.</p>
<p>Well, the Jerry Springer Show is still on, so there will be some who will watch. Matter of taste, I guess.</p>
<p>Wait, so Sarah and Levi are BOTH getting reality shows? This is just getting stupid.</p>
<p>I don’t get why Bristol is getting so much sympathy over Levi. They’re cut from the same cloth, IMO.</p>
<p>Here is a very sobering article on child rearing and education that compares and contrasts situations including those of Bristol and Levi. I think it would agree that Levi and Bristol are cut from the same color cloth.</p>

</p>
<p>Married?? Really?? To each other?? This really does sound like a classic soap opera. And
Johnston makes 72K?? In the oil fields or does this include his photo ops, tv/movie gigs (should the occur), interviews, etc. Looks like he may be hiding assets… and I don’t mean his pecs or abs.</p>
<p>Now that there is some document that they should not publicly make negative comments about one another…I wonder how this changes their frequent publicity interviews. Stay tuned…</p>
<p>And for today’s episode…</p>
<p>Levi filed documents today for intent to run for office in Wasilla…</p>
<p>I’d say that both Bristol and Levi are making the most of their circumstances.</p>
<p>Bristol is getting $14,000 for a speach at a home for unwed mothers. I wonder what the booking agency fee is and if she writes her own speech or has to pay extra for that? I’d think transportation costs from Alaska would be significant. I wonder if Sarah or Sherry keep baby Tripp if Levi is off developing his career. It would be an extra expense to bring Tripp along.</p>
<p>The speech/home is in Kentucky and is a $125 per plate fund raiser. Wow–they have to have almost 120 folks attend and pay to cover Bristol’s message. </p>
<p>Isn’t Bristol’s message a little late if you are already pregnant and looking for options like a home for unwed mothers? </p>

<p>She is as qualified to speak at a home for unwed mothers as he is to be mayor of Wasilla.</p>
<p>I would venture to say she is waaaay more qualified to speak at a home for unwed mothers than he is to run for anything… except maybe the front door.</p>
<p>What the world would she have to say at a home for unwed mothers? “I did what you did but because my mom’s well known I can make a lot of money”?</p>
<p>She’s as qualified because apparently neither job requires any great skill.</p>
<p>I agree with Fall Girl. Doesn’t seem to me that she has any sage advice to offer nor can pregnant teen girls hope to end up the same unless their mother is also famous.</p>
<p>Bristol is speaking at a BENEFIT for the home, not to its residents. Anyone who attracts donors is qualified to speak at a benefit.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the booking agency fee is, but it is usual for the client to pay transportation costs for a hired speaker. It isn’t supposed to come out of the speaking fee.</p>
<p>She should donate her speaking fees to the facility.</p>
<p>Well…that’s not troubling to me. I think it’s OK for people to draw salaries from a charity. Offering to help them raise money for free would be nice of her, but I don’t think it’s required. Yes, I’d think it were distasteful if Warren Buffet accepted a speaking fee from Planned Parenthood – he should be giving himself away. But Bristol is not independently wealthy, as far as we know.</p>
<p>She has a lot more resources than many of the girls the facility is trying to help. If she is genuine in her beliefs, she should put her money where her mouth is. JMO</p>
<p>Yep–if Bristol’s unwed pregnancy expertise “sells” people on donating to provide care for other unwed mothers, she has speaker value.</p>
<p>Just like Levi’s talents that got him the pitch job for Wonderful Pistachios and Playgirl. Apparently the ad people thought he could pitch nuts and sell magazines.</p>
<p>Perhaps there is a sort of connection between their talents. It will be interesting to see who runs out of steam first.</p>
