Christina Silvas
Catching up on an older story . . . Three weeks ago, a private Christian school in Sacramento expelled a kindergarten girl with only three weeks left in the school year after discovering that her mother worked as a nude dancer. The mother, Christina Silvas, used to be a Sunday school teacher at the church-run school. Silvas and the school then came to an agreement: the daughter could complete the school year if the mother quit her strip club job. Just a few days later, however, Silvas posed nude for Playboy, which published the pictorial and interview last week on its website. Silvas said, "I believe posing for Playboy is the American dream for a woman." Church officials were understandably peeved but opted not to re-expel Silvas's daughter. Playboy.com has the interview with Christina Silvas in its free area. Meanwhile, FilePile has scans of her Playboy pictorial (though the pictures might disappear as soon as Playboy's lawyer find them).
