You gotta keep 'em separated



I've been pole dancing for just about five and a half years now and I've never really worried (or given much thought to) the photos and posts etc I put on my account. I've always been really open about the fact that I pole dance and had a "if you have a problem with it then that's your problem not mine" attitude. My profile has been public for ages, I didn't really care to be honest, and will pretty much accept a friend request from anyone who has a profile pic of them self on a pole.

 Recently I've been giving it a bit of thought, while I don't care about what people see there is a good chance that if any of my clients at work decided to do a facebook search for me there's a good chance they might not like what they see. Now I don't really care what they think of me, but my employer might (even though they are fully aware of my pole dancing addiction). 

 What to do?

Well, last week I thought it might be time to separate the real me from the pole me before it becomes an issue. I made a new account for Billie and changed the security settings for my normal me account. Then, of course being in the indecisive person that I am, I decided it was a stupid idea and left the account just sitting there... and then "Billie" started getting friend requests as friends found the profile.

So now it's there I figure I might as well keep it, it's already proving to be a bit of a pain having to log out of one account to log into another. I realised today that it probably would have been easier to change the details on my original account and make that Billie's account and create a new one for me but to late now and I can't be bothered.

So if you want to add me on facebook here is my profile Billie on Facebook 

 If you have me on my other account don't worry I'll still post a few things here and there but most of the pole related stuff will probably go on the new account (until I get lazy and just revert back to one account).

    I have done the same thing, although in my current field and the one I am studying to go into pole will probably be an issue (until, hopefully, people realize pole dancing is a sport like figure skating or ballet).

    We are probably better off just because Facebook has a different idea of "privacy" than the rest of civilization and frequently defaults to no privacy. (Then too even people you block will see your images if you have a mutual friend that comments on them, etc.)
    I'm loving your blog and have added your pole Facebook to mine :D

Injuries, sometimes they're a blessing in disguise

Okay, I'm going to get a little bit serious with this post, but I felt that telling this story was important. In June 2010, while practising a chair routine with a friend, I dislocated my left knee. It was one of those moments, that as it was happening, I knew exactly what was happening, and I knew that there was nothing I could do to stop it. It was like a living in slow motion. Even writing this now and I can remember it and the feeling as clear as day. After my knee cap popped out I fell to the floor in a heap and screamed, no one really new what was happening at first, an ambulance was called, and we waited for it to arrive (for over 45 mins). For most of those 45 mins I screamed and cried and tried not to throw up, while my friends stood around helpless watching me. Before then I'd never dislocated anything before, and let me tell you, this was a pain I would not wish upon my worst enemy. I'm pretty sure I begged the girls to shoot me at some stage. So after th...

Have you had a Polegasm today?

Well have you?? If you're reading this and you're a pole dancer you know exactly what I'm talking about, you just might not have called it a polegasm before. Polegasm (noun): That intense wave of pleasure that goes through your body when a pole dancer gets overly excited about a new move they have either gotten for the first time or seen for the first time. Think about the first time you saw Felix Cane do the spatchcock, I'm pretty sure most of the people in the audience at the Enmore Theatre that night had a polegasm (I know I did), some probably even multiple polegasms (Yep that was me)! The Spatchcock - Felix Cane I'm going to claim the term "polegasm" as my own, because as far as I'm aware no one had ever used it before I did that monday night in Cleo 's advanced class when, after seeing one of the girls do something really cool on the pole she (Cleo), got a bit over excited and I blurted out. "Oh my god Cleo, it sounds like yo...

Get a Grip

Image
Getting a good good grip on the pole can be a major battle, I know when I first started I slipped and slid all over the place and I couldn't understand how all the other girls in my class were sticking to the pole no problems let alone how the girls in the advanced classes were managing to defy gravity without slipping and falling on their heads. There are a whole heap of grip aids for pole out there, you just need to find the one (or ones) that is right for you and the type of pole you use. I've found that while some products work great on brass poles when I've danced on a chrome or titanium pole I might as well have coated myself in Vaseline for all the good it did. Here are the ones that I know of (and I've tried most of them as well) and my thoughts on them.  DRY HANDS: I've used Dry Hands a few times and have decided that for me this is the perfect grip aid for dancing on Chrome or Titanium Poles. If I use it when I'm dancing on a brass pole...
