The TV Addict 

Rest assured there is a good explanation for the above photo. We swear, Lily Aldrin has made Barney’s dream a reality by taking up the world’s oldest profession in an effort to pay off her Dowistrepla mortgage and massive credit card debt. This being the wacky world of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER — where anything can happen (and usually does) — there just so happens to be a stripper who looks exactly like her (Natch,) One that Barney can’t wait to introduce to the gang on the September 28 episode titled “Double Date.” More first look photos of which can be found after the jump.
