ITA - for me this is actually more concerning.  Disrobing to try to earn a living or break into entertainment might seem unsavory but it's a valid tactic and many would look at it as "Use what your Momma gave you."  Stealing, even petty theft, goes to the innate honesty and integrity of a person.

I think in this case it would be "Use what your dad bought you". :hidingchair

But I agree. She may be shy irl, but she's certainly no innocent girl next door. If she seems embarrassed about all the attention during the show, it's because she knows she's misrepresenting herself.

Maybe Jade just showed up at the wrong mansion.....

(maybe she was expecting Hef to meet her at the limo )

Too funny.

Jade one word
Lasik.

RE the earrings. Jackie from Brad's season posted this pic as she had the princess date. I asked her if she got to keep any jewellery.

@JackieGordon Such a great date. Did you get to keep any jewels?

Jackie Gordon Kline‏@JackieGordon·12 hrs12 hours ago
@BachSpoilersFan the earrings yes

I really like her though. I also applaud that she did not let whatever she did in her past stop her from trying to find love( i know the odds of that on the show is next to nill) knowing the whole naked thing will be brought up. she seems to be over it and living a good enough and respectable enough life now. good for her I say.

I'm not really sure it's in her past though. Those Playboy pics are from 2013 and she was still modelling for The Chive just before going on the show. They describe her as bubbly: http://thechive.com/2013/06/19/jade-elizabeth-is-the-chivette-of-the-week-24-hq-photos/

No matter how you want look at it, she's not really being herself on the show. I don't know if it's an act or because she's embarrassed about having so much to hide, but the fact is that she moved to LA to become a men's mag/website model.

She comes across to me as someone without much real self-esteem, kind of groping to find her way, and mistaking the kind of attention she can get from certain activities as actual validation, instead of degradation. That would explain some of the apparent contradictions.

I agree.

“Playboy is the essence of female beauty. I’ve always wanted to be a part of it,” Jade says in her profile on Playboy.com.
“I’m from a small town, but I’ve got big plans. I’ve traveled in eleven countries, and at 21, I earned a degree in culinary arts from the Cordon Bleu. A friend of mine told me about a Playboy casting, so I went.”

Jade Roper, 28, cosmetic developer
"She is absolutely beautiful and Chris notices [her] right away, but she has a bit of a rebellious past. She has something in her past that we will all learn about eventually, but she held back from telling Chris about it for quite a long time, and that might sabotage her chances with him. Another cool thing about Jade is that she went to Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. She never used that professionally, but that definitely turned Chris on."

I guess she is going to tell Chris about that on the HTD.
