Will Whitney Collings get the 'Bad Girls' boot?

Whitney Collings, a Salem State biology major from Lynnfield and barmaid at Felt in Boston's Downtown Crossing, had her gloves on throughout the third season of Oxygen's "The Bad Girls Club."

The local, who claims to have a background in boxing and was allegedly raised in the oh-so-mean projects of Boston, continued her non-stop assault on blonde party girl Amber Meade since the first episode.

But will she follow in the shoes of Ripsi Terzian, the infamous poor little rich girl from Watertown who was kicked off in the second episode of season one of "Bad Girls" after a violent drunken tirade?

Based on the last episode of “Bad Girls Club,” odds are good that Collings, a.k.a. “Boston,” will get the “Bad Girls” boot on the Tuesday, March 10 episode.

A mix of alcohol and tension turns ugly when the cast of “Bad Girls Club” makes a run for the border in a surprise trip to Cancun, Mexico. The girls back up Collings, who gangs up on Meade. It’s a move that escalates into a full-blown street brawl ... and reportedly gets Collings kicked out of the house.

A Loaded Gun source says Collings and her housemate Ailea Carr are expelled during a chaotic house meeting in response to the bloody street fight in Mexico.

This is how we do it in Boston? I don’t think so.

However, it's not the last we'll see of the local troublemaker. The Ambers, the Fab Three and even expelled members Kayla, Ailea and Whitney, reunite for the first time together since production wrapped five months ago. Perez Hilton hosts the reunion show airing Tuesday, March 31.

Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club" held a preliminary casting call at the Liquor Store back in April 2007 while filming the season finale of "Bad Girls Road Trip" featuring players from season one.

Felt barmaid featured in Oxygen's 'Bad Girls Club'

Whitney Collings, a Salem State biology major from Lynnfield and barmaid at Felt in Boston's Downtown Crossing, had her gloves on in the premiere episode of season three of Oxygen's "The Bad Girls Club."

The local, who claims to have a background in boxing and was allegedly raised in the oh-so-mean projects of Boston, had her hand in a house revolt against blonde party girl Amber M. on the popular reality show.

All talk and no action? We'll have to wait and see.

Oxygen's "Bad Girls Club" held a preliminary casting call at the Liquor Store back in April 2007 while filming the season finale of "Bad Girls Road Trip" featuring players from season one.

There's no doubt Collings will represent Boston better ... and hopefully longer ... than Ripsi Terzian, the infamous poor little rich girl from Watertown who was kicked off in the second episode of season one of "Bad Girls" after a violent drunken tirade.

GQB takes over Theatre District’s Liquor Store

We’re here. We’re queer. We want a beer.

The Guerrilla Gay Bar folks are taking over the only straight hangout in Boston with its own mechanical bull. Yes, they’re infiltrating the Liquor Store, 120 Boylston Street starting at 9 p.m. Friday, May 2.

According to the e-mail blast, organizers Daniel and Josh want to teach Boston’s straight masses "how to ride." Of course, they’re referring to the Liquor Store’s mechanical bull.

The guerrilla gay bar idea is a great concept: a group of GLBTs sign up for an e-mail list, the organizer chooses a traditionally straight establishment (like last month's event at Landowne Street’s uber-straight bar, Tequila Rain).

Here’s my write-up on the fine Boylston Street establishment for Povo:

The bar's mechanical bull perpetuates an "Urban Cowboy" meets "Girls Gone Wild" vibe. With large open spaces, VIP couches, a velvet rope and killer Cosmos, this Theatre District haunt is not the place to go for those looking for a laid-back night on the town. It’s drunken craziness at its best.

Only open late on Friday and Saturday nights, the Liquor Store recently served as a backdrop for the filming of an episode of Oxygen Channel’s "Bad Girls Road Trip" when the crew made a pit stop in Boston.

Gay guerrilla bar fare on Friday, March 7

We’re here. We’re queer. We want a beer.

In a social experiment that borders on old-school gay activism, Boston Guerrilla Queer Bar is planning to take over a Faneuil Hall watering hole this Friday, March 7. The trick is, the promoter doesn’t announce the shindig’s digs until the day of the party.

The guerrilla gay bar idea is a great concept: a group of GLBTs sign up for an e-mail list, the organizer chooses a traditionally straight establishment (like The Burren in Davis Square and The Liquor Store in the Theatre District).

On the first Friday of every month, the promoter alerts its list serve members last minute of the bar’s location (you know, so it won't prematurely freak out the hotspot's traditionally straight clientele) and they all gather en masse and descend on the bar like a flash mob.

The idea is to turn an unsuspecting straight bar into a gay bar for one night. Call it guerrilla bar fare.

The concept began in 2000 with a group in San Francisco. Guerrilla Queer Bar groups are now in cities scattered across the country, from Austin, Texas, to Atlanta, Seattle to Salt Lake City and Los Angeles. London and Heidelberg, Germany, also have their own Guerrilla posse.

‘Bad Girls Road Trip’ in Boston

Few people know this, but I worked as a production associate on the season finale of “Bad Girls Road Trip” when it filmed in Boston last April.

After watching the first season’s episodes unfold--you know when poor little rich girl Ripsi Terzian drinks a helluva lot of Tequila and goes psycho on her roommates--I was somewhat apprehensive to join the crew when I got a call from the producers.

Ripsi was kicked off the show, right? Not exactly. In the Boston finale, Ripsi returns and she has to deal with some unfinished business.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a season finale of a reality show without some manufactured drama. My first task on the set at their hotel in Needham was to purchase booze for the girls for what everyone was calling “the party bus”--i.e. one of those broke down trolley cars with music and a disco ball.

The booze budget was around $500 for five girls. Hmmmm, interesting.

Everyone was talking about a smackdown that occurred the previous night at a club in Boston. Here’s how Zara colorfully describes the drama in her letter on Oxygen.com:

“Out of nowhere two bitches started to dance with us and they were ugly bitches too. We walked away and they got offended and all of a sudden…. The rhino attacked us. I closed my eyes and said, ‘Oh Fuck.’ I closed my eyes and started swinging. Ripsi had one of the bitches hair and the other bitch had my hair. All of a sudden we were dancing and that became a rumble on the dance floor with 7 bitches started to fight the two of us. While fat ass Leslie sat on her ass watching and rat faced Aimee sat on a bench watching too, Ripsi and I got attacked.”

I was somewhat apprehensive to be near this Ripsi chick. Of course, guess who we had to pick up and escort to the casting session at The Liquor Store? Yep, demon beast Tipsi Ripsi.

At first, we couldn’t find her home in Watertown. Of course, her response when we phoned her was, “it’s the biggest house on the street.” Ripsi was right. We found it.

She was dressed in what looked like a black Chanel cocktail dress—and was actually stunning in person. She talked about how she initially caught the eye of the show’s casting director after a girl-on-girl catfight outside of a restaurant in Harvard Square.

Meanwhile, the bad girls were boozing on the party bus as it slowly trekked from Needham to Boston. The vehicle kept breaking down … which, of course, means more time for the ladies to get drunk off their asses.

We drop Ripsi off on the corner and she meets up with the girls under the disco ball. The scene at The Liquor Store gradually devolved as the evening progressed. One of the girls—Zara I think—decided to take a permanent marker and tag the mirrors in the ladies bathroom.

The bus headed to a swank restaurant in the Back Bay area. Truth is, Ripsi didn’t do a repeat of the violent, drunken outburst we witnessed on the second episode of “The Bad Girls Club.”

After all is said and done, Ripsi won me over ... well, in that “Flavor of Love” meets “Jerry Springer” sort of way.

Anyway, catch the Boston season finale tonight (10 p.m. Tuesday, July 24) on Oxygen.
