Book Review
"Gypsy" - Memoirs of America's Most Celebrated Stripper
By Gypsy Rose Lee and Erik Preminger
Rating: *****
Gypsy Rose Lee is the most famous stripper world-wide. She was literally thrown into the deep end of stripping when a star performer failed to show up and her bossy mother persuaded her to fill the time slot. A star was born and Gypsy soon had the world eating out of the palm of her hand... She has an amazing story. There are so many reasons women decide to start stripping. The money is a huge draw (of course), but there is usually always something deeper influencing our choices.

A quote from the most famous legend of Burlesque...

"I have everything now I had 20 years ago except now, it's all lower"
- Gypsy Rose Lee

Matthew Fox. 'Lost' his respect?

A few months ago Matthew Fox, one of the stars of 'Lost' allegedly cheated on his wife of 19 years with a stripper named Stefani Talbott.

If it is true, it is no surprise to me. I bumped shoulders with many famous celebrities in my time including Bon Jovi and Richie Samboura. They are men too. Just because they are elevated to a world-wide stardom doesn't mean they necessarily have any respect or class.

Security Cameras

The security cameras in strip clubs can create a disturbing paranoia. You never know who is watching you.

Hey Stripper

There is some amazing floorwork in this routine.

How Safe are Stilettos?

Strippers work gruelling hours in the clubs and all perched on top of a pair of towering heels. Wearing high heels around 15 centimetres or higher has been compared to walking on stilts or dancing on ballet pointe shoes. Yowch!

Not only is the risk of falling flat on your rear a concern, there are also long term foot complications that can arise. Chiropractors and Podiatrists recommend that you stay in your stilettos for no more than 20 minutes at a time to avoid permanent damage.

The main areas that stilettos refer injuries and pain include the back, hips and knees, shins, balls of the feet and the toes. It is imperative to look after the health of your feet on a daily basis if you wear heels everyday. Soak them in a warm tub of water with Epsom salts and massage with moisturizer and a few drops of Peppermint oil afterwards.

I still have lower back pain, Patella Tracking Dysfunction in my left knee and a funky right big toe from my time spent in the clubs shaking my booty in stilettos. Don't let it happen to you! Lower the height of your heels if possible and try to stay off your feet if you are doing a shift in the strip club. Holding onto a pole and stabilizing yourself by touching the ceiling can also relieve the pressure on your feet. Additionally, do more chair work and take regular breaks in the dressing rooms to massage and liberate your footsies!

Showgirls Playmate of the Year 2009

This show obviously had a lot of money put into it. But I'm sorry to say that the huuuuuuuge black boots the men were wearing ruined the entire thing for me. They looked clunky and uncomfortable in them and the boots ruined all of their lines (especially in the side split leap). I've worn these shoes myself onstage before and they are extremely hard to control and dance in. There should have been more communication between the choreographer and costume designer.

All of the dancers were working very hard, but I couldn't help but think the choregraphy didn't really show them off as well as it could have. The camera angles were also maybe not as well planned as they could have been. It was a very frenetic energy through the whole piece which did suit the music, however there are ways to add some more light and shade for dramatic impact rather than just running all over the stage all the time! Phew!

Book Review - "Traci Lords Underneath It All" by Traci Elizabeth Lords

Rating: *****

15 year-old Nora Kuzma's descent into the world of porn is motivated by a will to survive. Her mother doesn't create a stable home for her, neglects her and hops in and out of unhealthy relationships that take their toll on her four daughters. In one of her mother's dysfunctional relationships Nora is sexually abused.

Nora decides to make it on her own and assumes the name Traci Lords. She is influenced and manipulated by others to become the most recognized porn star world-wide. This autobiography tells of her struggle to return to a normal life and to become a successful actress and recording artist.

The depth of emotion and feeling that Traci puts into her writing really gives you an insight into her world and into her mind. I'm truly shocked at the behaviour of the people who influenced her to become involved with porn.

Her epic battle to be respected as a person, not a child porn star, is an inspiration. Everything Traci touches, turns to gold. She is truly an alchemist and this piece of writing is a blessing for victims of sexual abuse.

Movie Review - How much do you Love me?

Rating: ****
(Subtitles in English)

An ordinary Frenchman named Francois (Bernard Campan) enters a brothel in the Pigalle District of Paris. He meets voluptuous prostitute Daniela (Monica Bellucci) and tells her about his recent win in the lottery. He offers her 100,000 euros per month to live with him until his money runs out. Daniela agrees and Francois goes about wooing his sex Goddess despite a bad heart condition. What he doesn't know is that Daniela has a bad-ass gangster boyfriend who is fond of waving his gun around.

The director Bertrand Blier likes to shock his audiences and delivers in this film. My favourite part of the film is reminiscent of "When Harry met Sally" (but I won't give it away). It also has elements of "Indecent Proposal" thrown into the mix with superb acting and an unusual musical backing. All round, this loopy little love fest is refreshing and enjoyable.

Miss Pole Dance Australia - 1st Place

Flattering fan work, costume and engaging personality. Inventive choreography and transitions, although sometimes a tiny bit clunky on landings. Fantastic feeling for dramatic impact on multiple side split drops and a death-defying finish worthy of Cirque du Soleil. Hey, I'm proud of this Aussie bombshell!

Pole Dancing Toy for Kids - Stripping away our Children's Innocence

When I was in primary school I found a playboy bunny boy badge hidden in my mommy's jewellry box. It was pink and I thought the bunny looked cute. I had no idea what that symbol represented, but I loved the brooch soooo much that I wore it in my primary school photographs. It was so long ago that I can't remember my mother's reaction when the finished photos arrived. There I was in my brown 'Raggedy Anne' dress with a pink sexualized symbol proudly displayed on my chest.

I heard another story from an aquaintance of mine describing her teenage daughters fascination with the playboy Bunny symbol and how she had it plastered all over her school bags, school books and mobile phone, etc. She said that she asked her teenage daughter if she knew what the symbol represented and she was answered with a shrug. Her mother explained to her that it was a symbol that represented the 'Playboy' pornographic magazine established in 1953 by Hugh Hefner.

Children's toys are becoming more and more 'sexualized' as toy manufacturers stoop to a marketing phenonenom called 'age compression.' This money-making idea targets kids who are growing more mature as the generations pass. Today's children aren't as interested in stuffed toys, but how could these people destroy the innocence of children? These adult-like products are made for children as young as six years old. The psychological damage that these products will cause is beyond belief and you can only hope that parents can recognise the long-term ramifications of such a trend. We need to make a stand and get these toy manufacturers to stop shaping and moulding our children in an unhealthy way. Visit the Alpha Mummy site below to find out more and add your voice.

Noone can verify whether the pole dancing doll is actually available for sale in the US, but why am I not suprised? It has a doll propped on a pole and rotates with blinking lights and a mirror ball. Tesco has also brought out a product called 'The Peekaboo dance pole.' Just the name of this toy makes me cringe.

Movie Review - "Make it Happen"

Rating: **
Lauren Kirk (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead - Final Destination 3) is a small town girl with dreams of getting into the prestigious Chicago School of Music and Dance. When she blows her first audition she refuses to return to her hometown Indiana and ends up doing the books at a burlesque bar called Ruby's. One night a dancer fails to turn up and Lauren takes the opportunity to blaze the stage. She becomes their hottest new burlesque star and continues to strive towards her dream.

This movie is from the co-writer of "Step Up" and "Save the last Dance." These two titles alone will give you an idea of the age group this movie targets, namely teenie boppers. I can't help but recognise the lack of nudity and authenticity in terms of burlesque dance and believe the movie had to stay within the confines of its rating M. I was disappointed there was no real attempt at strip-tease and no pasties! Sacrilege. I believe the creators should have aimed for rating MA+ to give the movie validity and not influence younger girls to exhibit their bodies at such a young age.

There is one scene where Lauren performs the splits in a handstand reflected between two mirrors, that knocked my socks off! Otherwise I was left feeling disappointed in the quality of the dancing.

The original essence of Burlesque has been been distorted by modern day interpretations (like this movie) and the influence of pop culture. Performers like "The Pussycat Dolls" have contributed to the confusion about what burlesque really is. The word burlesque actually means 'to imitate' or 'send up,' and the traditional shows included a variety of different acts inbetween such as comedy or circus. Im sick of mindless burlesque performances with no sense of class or lasting message. The overall quality and standard of Burlesque today has suffered and needs a traditional revival!

Miley Cyrus Warping our Youth

Miley Cyrus danced on a pole on top of an icecream cart in her show at the Teen Choice Awards 2009. This definately sends out the wrong message to young girls who haven't even reached puberty! She has no sense of responsibility to her fans.

Half-Stripper, Half-Parrot

Fact: The rabbit and the parrot are the only two animals that can see everything behind themselves without turning their head around.

When a stripper flashes their merchandise it helps to have eyes in the back of your head (to make sure your customer is behaving himself). We have to be half-stripper and half-parrot to keep those boys in check.

What other animal would be useful for a stripper to transform into and why?
