When ladies of the pole compete…….   no comments

Who knew that Pole Dancing was a sport? I knew about lap dancing – I mean, that’s obvious. But pole dancing? It seems so unlikely. Sports Illustrated tells us:

The US Pole Dance Federation, better known to acronym lovers as the USPDF, was hosting the first annual US Pole Dance Championship. Twelve female contestants, chosen from more than 50 applicants, would be competing for the honor of representing the United States at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2009 and for a spot on the cover of next month’s Pole2Pole Magazine.

They also get 10,000 dollars, paid in singles. Here are some pictures. They are SFW (it’s SPORT, dummy):

The one in the first pic is going for the patriot vote. Always a good idea.  The eventual winner was Las Vegas-based “aerialist” Jenyne Butterfly (made-up name). Here she is doing her thing. Impressive, but to my mind, misses the point:

God, how I yearn for The French Maid in Calgary. Or the old Gold Club in Atlanta…….

“aerialist”. Ha!

rivercityvibe’s springboard effect…..   no comments

Not two weeks ago, we had the lovely Bar Refaeli featured on this very website, under “Something for the Weekend“. Now look at her! Front cover of Sports Illustrated‘s 2009 Swimsuit Issue!

Tastefully done.

Tastefully done.

Apparently, however, we are not the only ones involved in giving this young lady’s career a boost. Her boyfriend, who goes by the made-up Shakespearian name of Leonardo DiCaprio, has also been exerting his sinister influence. Radaronline tells us:

Rumor is Refaeli’s honey, actor Leonardo DiCaprio, had something to do with her getting the yearly top honor. The claim is that DiCaprio pushed for Refaeli to tick off former girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen.

Why do they write like that, by the way? It’s like baby talk. Though they redeem themselves by going on to coo, amusingly:

But how she got there hardly matters. The pictures of Refaeli are every man’s fantasy and every woman’s refrigerator diet aid.

And a reminder to wax.

Something for the Weekend #16   no comments

A special treat for you, this week. This picture is what those of us in the business call a “scene” – a picture that uses background and scenery to hint at a story or create an ambiance. It involves the use of “properties” or “props” (noticeably, in this case, a couple of pineapples).

The model is the indescribably beautiful Jessica White.

At least I think it's a pineapple......

At least I think it's a pineapple

Jessica White hails from Buffalo NY – a place that’s already in my good books for being the ancestral home of chicken wings.

The usual source tells me that:

In 2003, White was chosen for a coveted shoot in Sports Illustrateds famed Swimsuit Issue. She was also featured in the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 issues….. She holds the distinction of being the only Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model to appear on the cover in a body painting although only as an inset.

Not many people know that.
