Pole Dancing Anybody?
Written by Hannah Tan   

The challenge - to learn as much of pole dancing as possible in 4 hours. Subjects of  the challenge - Pietro and myself. The outcome - humour! *laugh* Showdown of the Clorets Amateur Pole Dancing Competition took place a few hours ago, at Zouk KL. The few practise sessions and lessons Pietro and I received prior to this were finally put to the test. 4 hours of what our brains, legs, hands, body and what-was-left after the lessons, could take. *laugh*

I dare not say much about the performance except the fact that Pietro did an amazing job. He's an absolute darling to work with and we certainly shared a lot of laughter in the process of learning and getting acquainted with the umm... pole. *laugh* For him, it was the challenge of defying gravity. Mine - well, as you would've already know, I have two left feet. *laugh* I'll leave it to you to figure the rest out. *laugh* We had quite a good crowd at the event earlier. Spontaneous and fun. *smile*

The finalists were GOOD. Surprisingly, 2 of the contestants were guys! But hey, thanks to them, I now have a new-found respect for male pole dancers. You can forget about men looking feminine on the pole. Think Usher and JT. Manly yet sexy. It takes a lot of muscle control to pull off the moves they did, and boy oh boy were we all impressed.

Liang emceed the event with so much spunk and wit that all of us had a ball, despite our nerves kicking in prior to the lil' performance (that'll be me, to be more specific). *laugh* Liang's got such a cheerful, happy and pleasant personality he reminds me of sunshine. *laugh* If you didn't already know, that guy's got talent. *smile*

It's been a wonderful experience with the pole, and thanks to our talented and hot instructors  at Viva Vertical, Vee and Lola, we managed to pull through. Oh and thank God we were put out on stage before the professionals. At least it didn't make us look so bad... *laugh*

Oh, oh... hehe. Well, I have a confession to make. *laugh* Leonard and I got a bit cheeky during the wait for my next appearance on stage and this is what happened... *laugh*

And no, I didn't get to keep the sash. *laugh* But thanks to the team at Cadbury Malaysia and Clorets, I had an unforgettable experience with the campaign. To Claire, Karen and the rest of the team, thank you for allowing me to share my first experiences with the sport together with  all of you and the rest of Malaysia. *smile* You know I can never live without  chocolates, and when the song I wrote about these lil' wonders is ready, you guys will be the first to hear it!  *grin* BTW, if EVER my doctor tells me I have to stop eating chocolates because of diabetes or anything similar to that, I'm blaming you!  *laugh* Anyway, thank you ladies for sharing the love... *smile*

It's been a long day so I'm gonna shower and hit the sack soon... The flu bug kickin in again. Nightey-night guys. *smile* Sweet dreams!

I felt the MALE pole dancers are certainly HOTTER than the Female.
