I wrote this piece for http://www.peertrainer.com The great irony of this piece is the punch-line: I weighed myself. Ever hear of orthorexia? It’s when someone develops an unhealthy fixation on healthy foods. Total first-world problem, I get it, but I think that might be me. It all started after I had my second child and got really […]

However, it feels like me after a grueling day of transferring my blog from (the soon to be defunct iWeb) to WordPress. Thanks Apple, that was totally fun. Loves it.
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 Lately my pole instructor has been posting a lot of video submissions for the 2012 USPDF Amateur Division competition. She notes what she thinks is special about each performance and I have found it to be an excellent learning tool. Not that I am able to do any of the tricks […]
Monday, May 28, 2012 I take pole dancing classes and teach at a small studio in Boulder called Boulder Spirals. It’s in its’ fledgling years and we instructors are tasked with promoting the crap out of our classes. It’s not a perfect system but if we want to teach, we better make sure we are doing […]
Thursday, May 24, 2012 Okay. I admit that my last blog post was a big, fat bummer but that’s life. I wallowed in self-pity for a while and engaged in some therapeutic pet adoption (I adopted a MASSIVE Great Dane, named Blue) and now I’m back. I had a completely awesome day, starting with a […]

First Performance Ever Monday, May 7, 2012 I took up pole dancing in January and now the time had come to perform, not to a group of fellow students, but to real, live, paying audience. I had practiced my piece so many times that I […]
303 Vodka is throwing a Cinco de Burlesqueo party this weekend and invited Boulder Spirals to participate. I was having one of those Woohoo-sure-why-not! days when one of the organizers posted an invitation to perform on the Boulder Spirals Instructor’s Facebook page, so I threw in my hat. At first I was super nonchalant about it, like, “Sure, I’ll do […]
Teaching My First Real Class Thursday, April 26, 2012 I finally reached the final destination of my instructor training: I got to teach a class – to paying customers – all by myself. As in no one was there to […]
Level 3 Progressive Series: 7th Class Saturday, April 21, 2012 I wish I could report that something spectacular happened today in my Level 3 class but I done shot myself in the foot. When Sasha helped my install my X-pole in my living room, er, Champagne […]
