I actully replied to that article with the same observation - I don;t knwo why I got SO mad when I saw that! 😈
Yeah, as though there's some reason to be intimidated by how strong all the women are. Hrmph 😈
At least most of the replys were in favour and defending the sport and that some of those actually weren't that familliar with it... but still made the conclusion that it was awesome. Thats a BIG jump from where it used to be only a few years ago where it was all "mothers" comments about stripping and womens self esteem, demoralisation of society....blaa blaa blaa... I like how women can NOT win... On one hand we are told to love ourselves, respect ourselves, be proud of who we are and what we are (ie...A WOMAN... which hate to state the obvious does include our sextuality and feminitiy as much as males masculinity is a natural -encouraged- componant of them...) And on the OTHER hand when we DO love ourselves and are proud of ourselves and sometimes we reflect this by feeling confident in a mini skirt, sometimes its by joining a debating team... we are told by society (and mostly by other women unfortunately) that we are "Full of ourselves" or "In love withourselves" or "arrogent" or a "bitch" or the ever popluar... "Slut"... because loving oneself always equates with promiscurity... ❓ or that promiscurity is even a BAD thing if done with total consent, enjoyment and not just for a desire to be wanted... Goodlord... Im so sick of the debate and the ignorance... and whats worse.. the ignorance is in other women more than anything... 🙄 I think more than anything... what im MOST sick of... is that there is a debate AT ALL!! No one is sitting around discussing the merits, history and meaning behind hip hop... or jazz... or even where actings roots come from (all might I add for the love of vaulgar entertainment... particulary where acting orrignated from)... Its time for all those people to just move on and begin to see it as a dance style like anyother ... oh I mean its ok for in contemporary and post modern dance costumes to actually emphasise the naked body for the sake of "art"...but add a pair of high heels to that equasion and its one step off prostitution... GIANT SIGH>>> Tell you what...Im just getting more and more proud of us pole dancers ever day! God bless us... every one! LOL 🎅
Omg i dont know why people can be so frigin ignorant instead of taking the time to educate themselves. For one thing To say pole dancing is all about stripping is the stupidest thing. i did'nt realize that by wearing boy shorts or the equivelent to a string bikini is considered stripping????? 😕 dont you actually need to take your clothes off or at least one article of clothing off to strip or is there another way i don't know about 😂 and the fact that they are to stupid to see all forms of dance (hip hop,jazz,ballet,contemporary, ect) gymnastic and a little circus tricks and that it takes training, time, and creativity, not to mention strength in mind and body. I think we should take our poles and beat some sense into them if we wouldnt break our poles on those THICK skulls of theirs 🙄

If it was Miss Samba or Miss Tango, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
Well, At least we can consider this a "right of passage" in the dancing world, every new dance style when it was introduced to the performance world was NOT embraced with open arms! IE post modern dancers where booed off stage and banned from performing in theatresetc... so they started performing...ANYWHERE... which was consistant with the post modernstyle... and so a new style was born they eventually went on to breed contemporary dance... The cool thing about all this? Dont know if you wonderful ladies are aware.... but you are a part of a "new birth"... you are the front line of mainstreeming this art... In 50 years time when we are watching pole dancing on Convent Gardens stage, you will be able to say to your kids, or just to yourself..."I helped make that happen".... By standing up for our convictions, and continuing to bare the brunt of the back lash (thats a lot of B's) we are creating a revolution... AND THAT is something to be proud of yourselves for! I dont know about you.. but this fact really excites me to be a part of ... Ive studied dance (like historically, and at uni...not THAT exciting) my whole life and this... THIS is the kind of stuff I read about at the turning of new eras.... and to think that I could be a part of that.... 🤸 🥂 .... I get a little over enthusiastic!! Ok.. Im done now.. sorry to rant... Ill get back to studying now 📚 Boheme 🌸
ok i'm lost. what the hell is scary about this? the scary thing is how close minded some people can be.

OMG some of these people are so narrow-minded! I really wanted to reply to some of them but I didnt wana go to the bother of registering!! Just as well really, I think I would have written some angry replies!!! 😈
I don't think rap is vulgar Mrs boheme we can't defend our love and on the same breath trash someone else's...
The whole headline has all the hallmarks of a manufactured controversy to get readers to look at the ads! The use of the adjective "scary" doesn't even make sense to me. Scared of what? That she might fall and hurt herself? That she's too sexy? Well, Voelle of Malaysia has said that the men in her country are "scared to death" of her...I take that to mean that in in some cultures (and the US and Western countries have places like this, too) a really beautiful woman being sexy is a little scary to some guys. LOL, well, that's probably true. It's worse now than ever. Young men just can't seem to step up to the plate and even ask a girl out. So maybe that's whats "scary"!! Ha Ha, I just realised I am talking about my son--my current frustrating topic! Joel

No, Sorry Pole bunny, I think you misinterpreted what I was saying, I was referring to the origins of ACTING in that “aside” about vulgarness: “.... or even where actings roots come from (all might I add for the love of vulgar entertainment... particularly where acting originated from)..., “ ....Acting was considered "vulgar" entertainment in its time. It was all sexual innuendo and rude jokes, it was purely escapism. I was referring to all forms of performance originating from societies desire to forget their daily troubles, and often to make political comments about the higher society and community issues of their times, the higher society that called it "vulgar"... of course, because often performance has been used to make comments about this Higher society, or political standings. I was making a connection between the attitude of others towards pole dancing (and all other styles of dancing and performance when they first emerged, such as hip hop) being no different than the attitude of these "high society" or political ideals that EVERY performance style has received upon its entry into the common populous at first. I personally wasn’t calling it vulgar. I should have put vulgar in quotations points to be clearer ("vulgar"), I will be more thorough in my rambilings next time! 😳
