As many of you already know, Davis County commissioners are trying to ban my pole dancing competition on may 16th at the Davis Conference Center. Many news outlets have been following the story including FOX 13 news, The Standard Examiner, Salt Lake Tribune, and KSL news.
Since this is my blog, I'm going to say what I want to say about this happening.
The athletic women who are competing in this event are not strippers! They are women who are on a mission to change the way this world looks at pole dancing.
Did you know that pole dancing was origionally a circus event? In europe, a gentlemen's club decided to put one in their establishment. The rest is history. All we are doing is taking the pole back to its origional roots.
One of my favorite quotes:
"Not all strippers pole dance, and not all pole dancers strip".
For those who don't know, I am from Utah and I am trying to host this event in one of the most conservative counties in the state. Wish me luck!
Below are the links to read the news stories. The one that FOX 13 did was great!

Investor friend
A month or so ago, I was approached by an investor who owns 30% of Ogden property. He is very interested in my studio and has convinced me to move to one of his buildings once my lease is up. This new building is 5,000 sq feet of dance floors!
Since I'm going to have so much room to work with, I will be adding two new styles of dance to my menu. Aerial Silk dancing and the Low Flying Trapeze. Both can be seen in any circus. Aerial Silk is when you suspend yourself 10-20 feet in the air from two long pieces of fabric and the low flying trapeze is pretty much what it sounds like.
Anyway, I am so excited to start perfecting my circus skills.
One day, I hope to have enough money to open my real dream business...a commerical based animal rescue. Basically it's an animal rescue that doesn't answer to the government. In my opinion, I can do much better than the government at saving animals and placing them in homes. And I think I can do it for a profit!
So there's where my head has been all day.
What do you think? Will you come fly on the trapeze, stripper poles, and the aerial silk with me???

DANCE!
The workshop yesterday was so freaking fun!
We started off with a stretch limo ride
Twitch, Katee, and Gev were all there. In case you don't know...they were in the top 12 on last seasons "so you think you can dance"
I don't have any pictures of Katee...because she wasn't that great. Her dance was WAY too hard for almost anyone to learn. She was teaching it as if we already knew it. She didn't take any time to go over moves, and she didn't really talk to us like we were realy human beings. We stopped learning the dance half way through because none of us were getting it so we quit. So she punished us by making us do the dance as a group in front of everyone. I am not normally a quitter...but when choreography is being thrown out at lightning speed by someone who is "above" everyone...I'm not down with it.
Anyway, Gev was great but Twitch was the best! His dance was so creative and he really took the time to go over and over the parts that were difficult. All of the celebrity instructors were given a half hour break in between classes...and twitch chose to spend that time with everyone in dance battles and conversation.
On the limo ride to the workshop, my teacher Jerome discovered that it was a girl's birthday...he decided to follow it up with a kiss and a lap dance. I have never laughed so hard in my life!!!
Anyway it was super fun!
And me, being the skank that I am...I decided to pole dance on the streets of SLC

The final rose!
Okay...so the bachelor totally pissed me off. The freakin' guy picks the cutest girl with a huge personality. The show ends. Three minutes later, the follow up show begins. Two minutes later, he breaks up with her. Two minutes later, he asks the rejected girl for another shot.
WTF!!!
Anyway, drama drama. Gotta love it.
I'm over all the financial shit that happened this week. I just need to remember that there are people sitting in a cubicle who would love to run their dream business. I wouldn't trade any job in the world for the one I have. Who else gets to lap dance, pole dance, do a little photography, host parties, meet celebrities, and get a workout at the same time? All while wearing short shorts and a tank. Definately better than dress down Friday at the credit union I used to work at.
This weekend, I get to go with my very best friends and some cool clients to a dance workshop in SLC. We will get to dance along side of Twitch, Gev, and Katee from So you think you can dance!!! I rented a limo for transportation. We're going to feel like a million bucks...at least for a day:)

Worst week ever!!!
Wow, this week was definately one of those that will go down in history for being so unkind to me.
#1 My basement flooded with 3 inches of water. Carpet pads needed replacing. Total: $400
#2 My landlord sent me a bill for back rent. Apparantely, his accountant forgot to include property taxes in my CAM fees for 2008. Total: $6200
#3 In addition to the back rent, he is also raising my rent each month. Total: $7200
#4 A friend of a friend killed herself. Very sad!
#5 My husbands truck broke. $160
#6 My bathroom is almost finished...but we needed to spend another $500 to finish it!
Worst week ever Total: $14,460
Hmmm. Not real sure how I'm going to manage to come up with it. But, I've definately surprised myself before :)
Anyway, I had a great year last year. I guess I had it coming. I'm kinda glad it came all at once. Get it out of the way so I can enjoy 2009!
What has been your worst moment this year?

Time for a change
Have you ever known someone, or been with someone who should be easy to like or love...but just isn't? The same problems keep popping up only to be shoved in the corner for another rainy day? I am so sick of re-hashing drama. If I am me, and you are you...and we don't get along when we are just being ourselves...then it's time for a change.
No. I am not having marriage problems :)
