Pagan Place - A Midsommers Night Cabaret

I am so honored to have performed with all these awesome people. It was the first time I have performed at the Triple Door and OMG what a venue. Like a real theater, the seating reminded me of a Las Vegas dinner and show theater. Classy, classy place with awesome food and drinks. No Patron though, :(
I am so glad to have performed with everyone on the bill since they were all new to me, except Miss Indigo Blue who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival. Nanda was one of my favorite acts, great choreography. It must have taken them forever to nail it all down. Queen Schmooquan was by far the most comical of the night, though there were acts that were drenched with comedy as well as drama. The Three Graces was better the second time around for me. Had a better seat with a better observation point. Ernie Von Schmaltz was overly disturbing but since that is what the character is intended for I think it was a great success. Gold bracelet and all! Lily Verlaine as Cleopatra, gorgeous!
If you get a chance to see a Swedish Housewife show, don't miss out. It is absolutely hilarious and you are sure to have an awesome night!

I even got a revue by Seattle Fine Arts Examiner's Steve Clare

"Rounding off the show was local girl, Pantera. Most of the acts in burlesque try to disguise erogony as art, and succeed. Pantera achieved the opposite. Assisted by the type of metal pole more often seen in lap-dancing clubs, Pantera performed gravity-defying feats, with incredible agility, beauty and grace."

Brass Ovaries Pole Dancing

I loved this place. I think I found a new home in Austin, TX. The girls kept making jokes about me moving there and by mid trip, I had completely fallen in love with Texas.
The first thing that I do have to admit is I was knocked over by the heat. I thought Arizona was bad! Texas was so much better though because of the humidity. Arizona was dry, Texas was heavy! I could get used to wearing mini skirts in the evening!
Miss Natasha couldn't have made my trip any better than she had. The lady put me through the ringer though. Six days and only one day off. I love it.
Not only did she show me a bad ass time in Austin, but she showed me the most coolest time above Austin with my very first SKYDIVE. Hole shit, was that the biggest rush I have ever had. INTENSE is all I have to say. Don't be a testicle yo, try it.
Thank you to Mercy Killings also for helping set it up and hooking me up with my tandem buddy, Eric. I hope to have you on my back once again in just a week or so! I think I found my new favorite hobby.
I miss Amigo and Shroder. Give them kisses for me please, and if she barks, chase her down the stairs!
With only six days in Texas' capitol, I had very few opportunities to pose on poles for the camera. Not to mention that with the blistering heat my testicle ass could only stay outside for three - five hours at a time. Austin Lee showed me around town and to some awesome shops. We also discovered together that everything is bigger in Texas, including the prop and costume store.
I think the greatest highlight of the trip was the performance they set up at The Yellow Rose. The Brass Ovaries Performance troup, Mercy Killings and Miss Natasha all performed with me as well as the house girls. Some of whom had some awesome pole skills (hint hint, that ones for you Minnesota). I would love to tell you all the details or even post some video, but we all know that wont do for the people that were there. I can tell you I brought down the ceiling though :)
I return to Texas next week to visit San Antonio and Dallas. I cannot wait to see what adventure lies ahead of me. I definitely need to visit my hommies in Austin again.

Burlesque Is Backwards

Current Pole Dancers are compared to the burlesque dancers of yesterday.

My favorite part is, "...that equating today’s pole dancers with yesterday’s burlesque performers is a big faux pas, especially among the women who carved out careers..." Then it goes on to say that it was started by a stripper, Jennie Lee (thank you), to advocate strippers.

Aren't they, breaking the number one rule?

What Is This? Who Cares! They Like Me

Here Is The Link

They compared me to Bobbi. That's pretty kick ass! Oh and pole dancing is a great way to keep fit!

It looks like someone's blog, but it is all new to me!

Rules of Pole Dance and Pole Dance Instruction

RULE #1
If you are gonna teach pole dancing don't knock strippers. Not only is it just rude, it puts you in the locker room with the same group of people you're talking trash about. They are fellow pole dancers and deserve the respect you demand when telling people what you do. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all.

RULE #2
Syllabuses and criteria for course outlines and level progressions have taken people YEARS of their lives to create their own individual style and methods of teaching. If you lack experience or creative power, do not use other instructors material. Take the time to learn properly, keep the health, safety and welfare of your students in mind before their cash and gain the experience to create your own shit. It is your responsibility to make sure your students can continue having healthy and productive lives when they leave your teaching space....6 months from now....a year from now....

RULE #3
Assholes suck.
