Adventures in Pole Dancing: Since When Did Buying Shoes Make Me Nervous?
The ironic thing about the pole dancing sport is that the standard shoes we wear (when we actually do wear shoes) are technically stripper shoes, despite the fact that the athletic pole community is trying to move away from the seedy association with The Player’s Club. However, in defense of stripper heels, they actually enhance […]
Monday Melancholy…Hello Again (Inspiration)
I told myself that I would write every day, even when I didn’t want to…even if it was a sentence. It’s rainy and retrogradey and sucky outside. But such is life. Despite the gray, be inspired and still choose a happy day. *Taking my own advice*
Adventures In Pole Dancing: I Haz A Hurt…Again
That looks a little worse than it is but I did mention that pole dancing comes with random pain every now and then. I have a strained wrist from possibly doing a push-pull spin. I can’t find a video for it but it’s exactly what it sounds like–one arm is pushing the pole while the […]
Relationship Chatter: What Do Women Really Want?
When smart, dynamic women brunch, amazing conversation happens. I attended a brunch back in the spring that was curated by Dash Harris of Venus Genus. We had a candid discussion about what women really want in a relationship and things we’ve learned along this way on this bumpy journey called life. Watch, enjoy and chime […]
Rest In Peace Ruth Williams, A Black History Legend
People pass away. It’s a part of life. But I honestly never imagined that Ruth Williams would fall into that category. This is a woman who has watched people’s grandmothers grow up, so why would I expect that once she aged over 90 and then 91 and then 95, that she was going anywhere?
Kreayshawn, V-Nasty, White Girl Mobs And All Other Wack Things About Hip-Hop Summed Up
Most of the time I don’t even want to entertain ratchetness like this because I refuse to contribute to SEO or publicity. However, sometimes we have to speak up. Kreayshawn and her White Girl Mob have become viral and subsequently, music industry hits. Yep, this is the type of stuff that some of the people […]
Adventures in Pole Dancing 4: Chopper City
Hello chopper. I can do it now⎯the basic version. The chopper is when you kick your legs up over your head into an upside down v. It’s an easy pole dance move for those who are advanced but for pole babies like me, tackling even the basic version is a huge victory. Now that I […]
Adventures In Pole Dancing Pt. 3: I’m A Superwoman?
I didn’t know my skin could bruise until I started pole dancing, when I got introduced to pole burn. It’s not a feeling anyone can really empathize with unless they actually go through it but translation: OUCH. Brava to advanced pole dancers because not only do they have to make their tricks look pretty and […]
How I Got Invited Then Uninvited To Speak On A Panel That I Wasn’t Getting Paid For (A BKHHF Love Story)
I always expect human beings to take the low road, especially when ego is involved. I realize how pessimistic and cynical that sounds but my experiences in life haven’t really taught me much different. I’m not saying that good people don’t exist, but finding rational people who aren’t petty is hard to come by. I […]
Guest Post: Style Art Week Uzbekistan 2010 (Recap)
This is a guest post from my friend Loud Pen, who had the amazing opportunity to check out Style Art Week in Uzbekistan. I thought this was an amazing opportunity for her, especially since she has had a rough year, similar to my bad year last year. But anyway, she wrote a dope piece about […]
