Thanks again to my Mum for stepping in at such short notice and for being an absolute star as always. I will post some pictures and videos from the comp ASAP. We also wondered through the gardens of the British Library where I took this picture of 'Newton' after William Blake by Eduardo Paolozzi 1995:Īfter what seemed like an eternity on the train my mum and I arrived home and I was finally able to get a good nights sleep. We had both slept badly and were both very tired, we enjoyed some lovely lunch in a fab health food shop selling gorgeous chickpea and hummus pumpkin seed rolls and smoothies. On Friday my Mum and I had had a few hours to take in London, we popped to Charlton Street market so I could buy some gloves as I was freezing.
#Miss pole dance pussy update#
Whilst am on the subject of competitions I wanted to give you a quick update on Miss Pole dance Australia which was won again by Felix, check out this video - see the clips towards the end of the super strong and bendy Felix in action plus check out these pictures. The BBC3 crew who were with me hope that the event will be televised in Feb / March but I will let you know when I have something more definite. Apart from that the night was amazing and I can't wait to enter again next year. At a national level we need judges with pole dancing knowledge and experience. Two small criticisms of the show, firstly the Burlesque acts were truly awful, I have seen many burlesque acts in my time but now it seems that people think Burlesque is just taking your clothes off: there is so much more too it than that! My other criticisms which I will raise with Pole Passion was the two Olympic judges, apparently they had never seen pole dancing before apart from in clips on the TV. I will post some video links as soon as I have them and am sure the DVD will be amazing. Debs put on a great show but I actually was a little disappointed as I know she can be so much better, unsure if she found the pole a little slippy? Don't get me wrong she is one talented pole dancing lady. As I mentioned in yesterday's blog Alesia was just mesmerising to watch but for me Tracey stole the show. I must say that I noticed a distinct improvement from Jolene Whiting since I saw her perform last - nice one Jolene. Sally Ann Giles was also unable to attend but will also be at the finals of Pole Divas. Poor Annie Norris was feeling unwell so didn't participate this year but will be in the finals of Pole Divas. I also got to see the lovely Deb Riley - 2006/2007 runner up, Amber Rosia 2006/2007 runner up, Lisa Williams 2007 runner up, Tracey Simmonds - 2006 winner, Leanne Rostron & Jolene Whiting as well as meeting new friends such as Melissa Ranford. One of the great things about being part of Miss Pole dance is catching up with various people from the industry, it was lovely to see the gorgeous Glamour puss again and to meet people like Tess who I have only chatted to on forums.

I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by Pantera and then treated to a professional hair do by Staffords of Soho, I didn't catch my hairdressers name but she successfully straightened my hair giving me a fab new look - I almost didn't recognise myself! We caught a taxi straight from the train to the venue, Scala - see picture above right -, and rushed inside to check out arrangements.

Things improved from there on, a first class ride to London with free refreshments started to lower my stress levels. On arrival the air of doom started to shift as Suzy announced that we couldn't film in standard class so we would have to move to first class. With 2 hours before the train was due to leave and me in floods of tears desperately wanting to pull out of the competition I called my mum to ask her to accompany me to London which she did, Sid reassured me that I would be OK and that he would support me even if I did pull out which if course I refused to do so off we went, accompanied by the BBC crew, to the station. By 10pm on Wednesday evening it was not only Jo that was unwell, I was sneezing, coughing and generally feeling like poo, I also managed to bash my finger on a door frame resulting in lots of swelling and bruising and a general inability to use my finger on the pole! As a result I slept badly making Thursday morning less than the best start for the national finals of a pole dancing competition. The run up to the finals of Miss Pole dance 2008 did not go as planned,Wednesday was my day of rest to clear my head before the competition but various events conspired against me including my chaperone Jo being taken very poorly - Get Well Soon Jo.
