Pole-ates Anyone?

So I know I haven't been on here in a while, and I have no excuse other than work, the holidays, vacations, etc.  One day, when I'm a B.O.L., I expect to have plenty of time to devote to my blog...or whatever else I want to do.  Like, pole dancing perhaps??


I went to my friend's shower & bachelorette party last weekend down in Houston.  It was so much fun to see everyone!  I have to say, one of my favorite parts of the weekend was a pole dancing class we all took at PoleLaTeaz.  The class began with the teacher giving us a "demo".  Good call, lady!  She was awesome...at one point she was upside down hanging on by just her thigh muscles.  It got us very pumped for the class!  And she told us she had lost 40 pounds since starting to pole dance!

Imagine almost no lights, except some red streaming across the dance floor, the music pumping so loud, you can feel it...as one of my friends said, you almost forgot anyone else was in the room!  It was great!  The moves were simple enough, anyone could do it.  And we all definitely worked up a sweat. 

I was not the best at the turns on the pole, but I would love to take more classes...I mean, who doesn't love a workout that also provides fun times for later!  Haha! 

I would encourage anyone to try it.  It's a really fun bonding activity with your girlfriends. 

Hopefully, I can be as good as these chicks one day...
