Pole-A-Palooza

Pole-A-Palooza, a competition for pole dancers took place in Las Vegas this week at the classy Bellagio Resort. Based on what my friends have told me, strip clubs actually feature poles, upon which dancers sometimes climb up and perform gravity defying acrobatics, showcasing their athleticism - and grooming habits. Sounds like a horrible, horrible place.

Some people find it impressive that these girls fearlessly climb up on a pole and hang upside down several feet above the stage. But it's really not that hard - especially if you can count on two large inflatable cushions to break your fall.

Hmm - since it's really not that dangerous, maybe i'll check out one of these places someday.
