I've got to tell you all:

I took a pole dancing class for about a year, with class once a week. The class was mostly women in their 30's and 40's, and it was a very non-competitive, woman power sort of class. Not only that, but it gave me the most amazingly toned upper arms I have ever had. We would strut around in heels, get great muscle tone trying to hoist ourselves onto said pole, and get very bendy doing the slut moves. Don't hate. It's a lot of fun, and I have never in my 30 years even been to a strip club so it ain't like that.

I bought a hula hoop. Makes me feel darn sexy. And silly. And clumsy. What I'm saying is that it's sorta helping me to love my body while also being fun and dorky. Also, I've knocked over a few plants and a small statuette.

A stripper pole for a dollar is a pretty sweet deal, but I just don't think I'd have the room now that my over-sized lucite champange glass has been installed.

Speaking of any of this, where is our Rock of Love Bus recap?

@Macloserboy: I was afraid to look away because it was too good to be true. That one that looked like Daisy after 15 more surgeries seemed like a shoe-in to me...

@Macloserboy: Also, I don't know if you read DListed or not, but Michael K's run down of the episode is unreal. This is my favorite quote about the shot incident, "Unfortunately, the only open vagina Vh1 is allowed to show is Bret Michaels' face, so they had to censor the whole amazing moment."

Am I the only one who read the post title in the voice of Angelique: "Streeping"?

My husband threatened to buy this for me for his own amusement. By "amusement," I mean "laughing his ass off at me falling off a pole," not "sex."

I guess you could also use the pole for Festivus...

@Macloserboy: That was the commercial on DIRECTLY after this one. During some awful show on VH1 I believe...

@Macloserboy: I could really give a shit about the show itself, but seriously -- SO MANY COMMERCIALS FOR DIET TRIBE! Plus when it was being advertised at the bottom of the screen, the words were in some weird font that I couldn't read and I spent way too much time being all, "DIETTAIBE? Huh?"

I have done just plain old dance aerobics dvds and lost my footing and the beat several times while both myself and my dog laughed at me.

I really don't need the self loathing that would come (free! not even a dollar!) with trying to "sexy" and failing miserably.

I don't want a stripper pole in my house, but I do want to install a sex swing -- only not for sex, just for swinging. Is that weird?

@bluebears, TexasCrude: I know! Swinging is like therapy for me. I occasionally go to the local park and play on the swings, until the park gets crowded and I slink away in shame.

Yep, definitely need a sex swing in my house.

This seems like not a bad idea late at night after a few drinks. But spending the money, ordering it, setting it up in an unobtrusive place, only to have your kid go, "hey Mommy, what's that for?" Sorry, there are questions I'm just not prepared to answer yet.

I may be a lone voice here but learning to pole dance looks like fun. But when the parents show up at my house unexpectedly? Awkward. Then again, I'm always the person judging the stripper's dance skills so I think I'm probably doing the whole objectification/self-objectification thing wrong.

@Devonna: It really is fun.

My friend had her bachelorette party at one of the places that teaches pole dancing, and it kicked all of our asses. It wasn't easy at all, but it was definitely a good time.
