Well, last night I had a special pole dancing class - special meaning this class was a one-time deal and not regularly planned. There was a writer for a newspaper (who was in town for one night) who wanted to do an article on it, so my instructors indulged her. It was like a regular class, but the writer would throw in questions [she participated too], and when she found out I had a camera, she was thrilled. I ended up taking photos of the class that may be used in the paper. But... Although she was there to report, I think she already had a spin on the story in her mind. She was very specific about how she wanted the photo. It was okay about the people's positions. She wanted both instructors in the photo, but she wanted them to look sexy (not that it's that difficult...). But when it came time to a pole shot, she wanted two students in the photo looking interested in what the instructor was doing. "Don't lean on the wall...Stand closer...Great! I want Margaret in the photo because she wears glasses [and looks kind of geeky]" And it took a while to get to the pose she wanted on the pole. "No, too gymanstic-y. No, that was too crotchy. No, her back is to the camera. No, can we get her close to the pole?" I think I got a few okay shots. I emailed them off to her last night. But she wanted to highlight the sexiness of the class. Sex sells. On the other hand, I've been treating this class like any other exercise class. So maybe I shouldn't be so suspicious of her spin. |

We've had classes held at local strip clubs that have sold out. It's becoming tres' chic. And, it's always good to know you have something to fall back on as a career. LOL

haha. I guess people probably would be more interested in a story that seems more sexy than one that doesnt. :)

*L* I'm probably too old to be a pole dancer, but I'm still getting a good workout (and bruises) *L*
