I like sheet cakes, they are simple, easy, not fancy!
I don’t like fancy food…
oh, I haven’t told you about my pole dancing adventures in a long time. Well, since I started practicing lots of things have changed. I’ll make a list:
1. I’ve gotten much better
2. I’ve learned a lot of new tricks: the Gemini, Scorpio, Cross Knee Release, Butterfly, Superman, Flag,…
3. Everyday I discovered new bruises on my tights and abdomen
4. I broke my toe nail about 15 times (and I am not joking)
5. I’ve start fantasizing about me performing at Club Good Heart in LA
6. I’ve been tempted to do a couple of spins using the poles on the trains that I take everyday to go to work because……..well, when you are a pole dancer any pole would do…
7. I have decided to get certified and start teaching
8. I have decided to open a pole dancing school in my hometown
Maybe one day, I’ll be posting some of my pole dancing picture here….
