Tiffany Shepherd, a high school biology teacher, is biologically gifted in the bust area, which is probably why she decided to show what her momma gave her by becoming a bikini mate. For the young naifs, a bikini mate is essentially a cocktail waitress on a charter fishing boat who dons a bikini and does a bit of above average flirting. To the St. Lucie School District, a bikini mate is an above average ho— which is why Shepherd has been fired. And why Tyra Banks is going to bat for her.

According to CBS:

Banks found the story of the teacher and part-time bikini-mate fascinating. Shepherd took a job, wearing a bikini, on the Smokin' Em Charters fishing boat last spring. She still works on the boat. Her job involves chatting with customers, serving drinks and so forth…

Shepherd told the talk-show host she thinks a jealous co-worker was to blame for alerting the school board to her part-time bikini job.

"I don't think it's the most gross thing for you to be on a boat with a bikini on, honestly I honestly don't. But i'm a little confused why the school thought it was so bad?" Banks asked.

 

"Well you know there were rumors that went around. People are mean. They want drama. So they tried to say that I was doing porn, had websites. All this stuff. All I was doing was going fishing," Tiffany replied.

Shepherd is a thirty-year-old single mother and says that she began working as a bikini mate to provide for her three children, which isn’t hard to believe considering the practically sub-welfare wages of teachers. As long as the woman isn’t turning tricks under the football bleachers, it hardly seems the woman is a danger to students. If she wants to parade her tits around for money, her ability to talk osmosis won’t be damaged. Should the school district refuse to take her back, she always has her BFF Tyra...
