The Talk on CBS

Guests on the episode to be filmed at 2 pm PST today will include Jamie Lee Curtis as a guest and it is unknown if she will have anything to do with the pole dancing segment.  It has also been said that the segment will feature a pole dancing “tween”.

Step back Miley and make room for the pole dance tween movement!  What’s a “tween”?  Usually a girl ages about 9-14…too old for toys, but too young for boys. Very easy to market to, will usually follow any fashion trend set for them, will most likely go through the phase of ‘finding themselves’ as they ‘grow up’.

Many work on their stretching, many pole dancers work on their warmups. But what to do during the “cooling down” period after a pole dancing workout or routine?

As with any sport and activity/exercise, there is a way to play and a way not to. Such as it is w/ running: You don’t stop from running 10 miles and go lay on the couch–no no. You have to cool down. And ever so is that true with pole dancing exercise.

Our friends over at Candy and Chrome have put together a great post on the cooling down method after pole dancing as well as some important facts you may need to know to protect yourself from any injury.

You know the more and more I cruise the internet and read on all the blogs and websites wring out their two cents on the pole dancing industry, the more I’ve felt the need to make this post.

You can quickly distinguish the newbie pole dancing blogs from the seasoned, the liberal writers from the more reserved. You see the difference in tone and attitude, depending on whom your talking with.

Recently I returned a phone call that had been taken in the early morning hours when the shop had not opened yet. Although the individual calling hadn’t left a message, yet the record showed that someone called. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and attempt to return the call.

When the other line picked up it was answered by: “Hello, Cheesecake Factory”. Oh boy.

Now I know the deal with people and pole dancing. They’re either for it or not. And you never know until you test the waters on the phone. Unfortunately in this case, you could here the woman on the other end of the line turning red as soon as it mentioned that we were returning a call from a pole dancing company.

“God no! No one here would be calling you at 8 in the morning for pole dancing, how dare you….there must be something wrong w/ your phone system”.

That’s right my dear. Our phone system is apparently not in full working order, it doesn’t take calls, record where they’re coming from, voicemail never works….but we keep doing biz w/ them.

C’mon!!!! What I’ve realized is there is the haters and then the lovers. But one thing is for certain: Every time a new pole dancing website, blog, company, Oprah, whomever….every time they want to mention pole dancing is for fitness.

Has everyone been living under a rock for the past few years. Has it not donned on anyone that pole dance fitness studios are opening everywhere, you friends have taken classes, Oprah has brought it up 8 times! And still many haven’t figured out that it isn’t stripping?

Let’s come up to speed folks. Pole dancing IS great for fitness and good for you both physically and mentally. Stripping is not the same. Just ask any of your pole dancing beginner class attending friends if they had to show a nipple the last time they trained.

More men these days are jumping up on the pole dancing wagon. Our friends over at Stripper Pole Rental.com recently put out a list of the male pole dancers on youtube. Check that out HERE.

Knowing the business of pole dancing and the amount of upper body strength that is needed to be a fluid pole dancer makes it really interesting when looking at men doing the dancing and not the watching

For a primarily female driven sport and exercise demographic, many pole dance studios don’t have a co-ed or men’s class available. For some, it’s that there isn’t for such a market of men wanting to take pole dancing lessons; for others: well, it’s called discrimination.

I know of men that have even called a pole dance studio in their local area and they were either hung up on, or in their opinion, not treated nicely on the phone.

Either way, if men get into pole dancing in large numbers; ladies look out, cause genetically they may own that sport as well.

Hurray! Miss USA 2010 was an award winning pole dancer?

Not quite folks.

As many in the pole dancing world will tell you is that pole dancing is a hell of a lot different to stripping and/or strippers.

Your girl, Rima Fakih, Miss USA 2010 was NOT a pole dance champion. She was the CONTESTANT Winner of a radio station spoof put on by Mojo in the Morning radio show in 2007 in which it was called “Stripper 101″.

Fakih entered a contest on a radio station back in 2007 where she was surrounded by girls in lingerie, all for which was a stripper competition not necessarily a pole dancing, or the art of, competition.

It’s a shame that the people nor the media wants to spell it out for all the morons out there that pole dancers are NOT Strippers. Bottom Line.

Just because you enter into a stripper contest and win does not make you a champion winning pole dancer.

For gods sake. Try not to be an idiot.
