Romancing The Pole

So after an alcohol orientated Australia Day I was knackered enough to watch a free program on my SBS iPad App on the Miss Pole Dance Australia competition.

Firstly, I didn't know there was a Miss Pole Dance Australia and secondly it was kind of sad in a few ways. The winners father had passed away some years back but she spoke about his complete support for her and her pole dancing, and her sorrow that he couldn't be there to watch - whilst another competitor bought a ticket for her (alive) father to come and watch but he didn't... He blamed the breakup of the family unit on his estranged wifes determination to 'be happy', and saw his daughters dancing as a one way ticket to happiness abandonment. Ironic. Love your children people!

So if you or me would like to give pole lessons a try check out Bobbi's Pole Studio - it was the focus of this documentary and they have 3 locations in Sydney. This image is of Felix Cane, a truly talented kiddo who has won the competition so many times she's retired.
