Lots of Exposure with Pole Fitness!

Well, my life has taken an unusual turn since we returned from Las Vegas and the Pole Expo 2015 at the Hard Rock Hotel:
X-Pole sent me my own personal pole which we have installed in the foyer which is under going renovations;

• I have enrolled in a 2 hour fitness class every Monday morning 9:15 -11:15 AM. ;
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
   It is at the Pole Sisters Studio in Qualicum Beach which is a beautiful half hour drive from my house in Nanoose.
  
   
• I've been in a photo shoot for a Calendar covering all of the Pole Fitness Studios on Vancouver Island and the picture above will be included;   They are a lovely bunch of energetic strong women led by great instuctors.

• My Niece Fawnia came to visit with her girlfriend/partner Kathy. Fawnia and I did a photo shoot at the Pole Sisters Studio .
• The local Paper, Parksville Qualicum News, sent a reporter to Pole Sisters Studio and filmed and did an interview which resulted in a huge spread on the front page with this Headline:

  The 'Gretzky' of pole dancing visits Qualicum

• CTV sent a film crew to interview on Monday and Wednesday Dec. 2nd I was featured as the MVP for Island athletes on both the 5 and 6 PM News.  You have to check out the link by clicking on the highlighted words (ie 5 and 6 PM News) above.  Boy they really did a nice job of that with background research.  I never mentioned the Basketball stuff.  

I'm happy with the strength, flexibility and new skills that I've been gaining.  I can feel I'm stronger when I play Volleyball on Thursdays.  I'm not really excited about the pole kisses (the endearing term for ugly bruising that occur when learning new skills) though the studio lets us compete for the worst one which will win chocolate.  So that's not all bad!

The people I've met are great- young, full of energy and humour; the music is motivating; and the drive through Qualicum Beach is so beautiful and relaxing. Last session I climbed to the top of the pole.  Each week I set a new goal.

I've received mostly positive responses from people.  My husband is so proud he has tears come to his eyes.  My neighbour wants to come and join me in the classes as soon as her schedule allows. One of my Nanaimo Volleyball teammates wants to start taking classes too.  But some people roll their eyes or think they've misheard when I tell them what I'm doing.  Not that it matters.

It's good for women who have reached level 70 to feel strong and sexy.  And that is why I have had Boudoir Photos taken for my husband's Christmas Present.  Here are a couple...there are more but not for everyone!

I'm still renovating...today I finished the Laundry room...dry-walling and painting.  My 6000 piece jigsaw is nearing completion.  I'll hang it in the Foyer in my new Pole Studio!

Busy and happy.  Life is Good.
