So, um, about last night. My friends and I decided we needed to go dancing. In the midst of trying to find the perfect club with great 80's music, we are halted by the discovery that there is a bar that has a stripper pole. Let me say this again, there is a bar with a stripper pole and yes, its for the patrons and no, it was not in some sleezy bar on the outskirts of town.

Why did I not know Five Star Bar had a stripper pole? With this discovery, and after a shot of liquid courage, I decided to test out "the pole" by trying out a couple of moves (fully clothed by the way). Here's what I learned:

1. Stripper poles have bearings. They spin. It's fast and you get dizzy.
2. Stripper poles are slicky. It's hard to get a good grip and not fall on your ass.
3. Stripper poles leave bruises on your legs. It's painful the next day.
4. Stripper poles allow men to show off some skillz. I was witness to the one handed spin with one foot tucked behind the pole and one leg out. It was magical.
5. Stripper poles take a whole lotta arm strength to pull off proper moves. My arms are sore today.
   
6. Stripper poles make you look hot. No matter what awkward move you do, somehow you look good doing it. The men were on fire last night. It was hot.
   

I have a new found respect for those pole working girls, it takes a whole lot of grace and a whole lot of strength. It should be an Olympic sport.
