How To Pole Dance 101

My first start as pole dancing amateur.

How To Pole Dance 101

You know that moment when you think something is easy, and you're like, "Yeah, I can totally do that in a week with some practice."

The worst is: we all believe we can do it easily.

So the other day, one of my classmates showed a Youtube video with a pole dancer.

And I was like: Me too, I can do it!

I can do it dude How hard can it be seriously?

Yeah, I totally can.

So I put my battledress, and got ready to do some pole dance.

Plus, my boyfriend will be happy. Men like pole dancing, right?

First an easy position. I have fifteen years of dancing behing me, I am pretty sure I can rock it. How hard can it be? You're basically holding your body with your hand. E-A-S-Y.

It didn't end well.



Okay, it was my first shot, it will be better tomorrow. It's always like that, trust me. In dance or music or any field, if you can't do something today, you'll rock it tomorrow (y).

For example: I played piano for fifteen years. When my hands have to play really fast, I just stop practicing and repeat tomorrow and it works!

Turns out, playing piano (with fifteen years of practice behind me) and doing pole dance (with a history of two minutes and a half) are not the same. Who would have believed it?

But I am not losing hope, I believe in my sexiness.

Let's try another position!

Ehhhhhhhhhh

What is on my face you're asking? Those are my freaking boobs.

My boobs are absolutely not small, and absolutely not muscular (unlike the pole dancers). Turns out, if my head is upside down, every roll of fat, every heavy part of me, including my boobs, obey the laws of gravity. My entire being is attracted to the center of earth.

Did you hear about this theory: the more an object/body is heavy, the more it is attracted to the Earth's core?

...Shut up I am not fat, I'm fluffy. #Gabrieliglesias

Plus, who can do this with heels? (Correction: Who can do anything with heels? Absolutely not me.)

Okay I am still motivated I can do this!

Third position.

... Conclusion?


I suck ass at being sexy. I really do. Also, did I tell you my cheeks follow gravity too? (And so do my double chin, my cheeks, my boobs again and my belly fat, but I was too embarassed to draw it.)

I give up. I am going to lay down.

Did someone say food?

Food!

There is food somewhere.



I am not proud of myself.

Have you ever seen a cartoon drawing, where there is a donkey walking because there is a carrot hanging in front of him?

Thats me. I need a carrot to work out.

As it happens, the carrot should be a really fat, fat, fat chocolate cake. Or a quesadilla. Or a perfectly cooked hamburger. Or Girl Scout cookies, oh my god yes.

Fuck it, I'll just make my boyfriend watch "Magic Mike," maybe he'll get the motivation to be stripper for me. #Dontstopbelievin

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
