Mejustme,

I think she hadn't been too far out of the business either. I recall her saying something about having met Paul (her then boyfriend) about a month before coming into the house. I thought she said she met him at a strip club too... and said that he didn't normally go to those type places except he had that night. I think she was just trying to win brownie points for him with Iyanla and the housemates..

I know there was alot of rumors about her stay in the house and a possible affair with one of the camera crew. Her inital myspace account after leaving the house showed a mixed up kid... I recall seeing an attempt at a regular post SO experience but alot of suggestive comments left by some guys... Then I recall some questionable shots (provocative ) Soon after her myspace was closed.. Then a few months later it was revived.. much more tastefully. I think she may have backslid a bit... Just a guess... If there was some truth to the affair... and her staying in L.A. for a time.. I can see that it might have happened.. It was also RUMORED that when Iyanla found out about the affair (via Jessica) that that was the reason Christina wasn't invited back to the finale.

But she seems to have gotten back on track. Hopefully anyway. I guess she's realizing that Real Estate, crochet and lip gloss are not easy career options. ( She was hawking crocheted caps and homemade lip gloss on Ebay for a time) I read the recap of the show and looks like now she is concentrating aesthetician(ing)... Skin care I think? I thought she was trying to pursue some modeling gigs too... Or at least she indicated that one time on her myspace.

I always wondered if the SO crew didn't happen on Christina when they were in Las Vegas with the SO2 ladies near the end of their season. Which would have been in January there abouts of 2005.. SO3 started filming in July I think.. I don't know why I thought that... but it's just a hunch.. Maybe she was trying to give up the life style then and began to tie up loose ends and moved back to NC. It didn't sound like she had been back in NC very long.

I wish I had seen that Dr. Ablow piece.. I am sure they would have downplayed SO... as that would have thrown off the topic...
She didn't tell her mom about what she was doing until well into her stay at SO.
