Pole dancing is a sport, or so say the women who do it, there’s even a movement to make it an Olympic sport, unlike your normal trip to the local strip club on a Wednesday afternoon — I know, you go just for the lunch buffet — the competitions for pole dancing are serious and don’t involve stripping.
This competition in Moscow doesn’t feature any stripping but it does feature the worst thing that can happen to a pole dancer. Well, besides Dennis Rodman coming into the strip club…

oh god i got a concussion just watching that.
Lol! Damn that’s gotta hurt like a bitch! Funny post, but I kinda object to it too… I’m one of those ‘pole fitness’ dancers lol and I get your cynicism, it doesn’t seem all that different to stripping at first I suppose…Kinda a plug I know, but I found your post after looking for related posts to my own post on pole dancing. If you have a minute (or two) you might wanna check it out. It does have pics of pretty girls on poles to look at (!) but I’m trying to show a different side to pole, and just maybe you’ll think differently after reading it!
