So what is it about the Florida water that makes every other female teacher want to carry that teacher/student relationship waaaay too far or show their boobies outside of the home? Case in point (number 40) is teacher Tiffany Shepherd who was suspended from her post because she was a “bikini mate” for Smokin’ Em Charters, which offers “trips with bikini-clad and topless women.” Mmm. Classy. But now, jobless, she’s talking about gigs she doesn’t want to take even though her kids are starving.

“I didn’t want to do Playboy,” she said, noting she sought legal advice and learned that appearing in the magazine likely would mean she’d never teach again. The publicity, Shepherd said, “only opened doors to doing layouts using my body. Everybody was so excited about that, but that’s not why I did the bikini chartering.”

She said it’s because teaching didn’t pay enough to feed her kids, which is understandable. But no offense to Tiffany—she seems like a nice MILF and has a nice body—but don’t we think she’s reaching a little high with Playboy? We think she’s a little more Hustler “Beaver Hunt” than “Playmate of the Month,” even with the notoriety. Because we all know that somewhere in Florida, teaching at a pre-school, is a younger lass without three kids and 10 years younger than Shepherd, about to do something inappropriate. But until then, enjoy these pictures of a motorboating Shepherd in the Florida sun.
