The Punishment Paradox

The Punishment Paradox

( A Fantasy For The Delightful Gia Milana )

I was the person Gia Milana called when she realized a Business Associate had forged her name on a handful of very important documents. And in return for my expert assistance in getting her out of a nasty situation, the Lovely Lady agreed to be the "Special Gift" for my upcoming Birthday Weekend.

Gia and I are scheduled to meet this Thursday at a 4 Star Business Suite in Vegas at 3 PM. And from then until 11 AM on Monday Morning ... Gia will repay her debt by being my Pleasure Doll. The lovely Lady is required to do as I tell her and dress as I tell her while entertaining me with her body, her sexual talents and her conversation skills.

When she agreed to pay this price for my legal assistance, Gia understood she was obligating herself to a Role Play Scenario known as a Punishment Paradox. There are three specific rules Gia is required to follow during our weekend together. But those rules are purposely designed to contradict each other. So properly following Rules A & B will cause her to break C. And so on. And so forth.

So no matter how much of an obedient girl Gia is during our long weekend ... She will break a rule which causes her to face an action which is both pleasure and torment. But it is Gia who gets to choose what the pleasureful torments are. Which means the girl can tailor them to situations she is able to enjoy.

As soon as I let her into my room on Thursday afternoon, Gia hands me 3 envelopes and then she steps into the bathroom to change into her outfit for this evening's dinner at a high quality restaurant. And while the girl is showering, doing her makeup and putting on this evening's clothing ... I take the time to carefully read her Torment & Pleasure Fantasies.

And once I've carefully considered each of the three fantasies, I take a marker pen and write A on one envelope, B on the second and C on the third. Then I seal the envelopes with clear tape and place them on the counter. So Gia is now in a position where she knows what each rule infraction is but she has no idea of how I've assigned them to the rules she might break.

Gia knows that if the hem of this evening's Dinner Outfit (Dress or skirt) falls to more than 6 inches below the tip of clit ... She will have broken Rule A.

She also knows that she is required to wear Gartered or Thigh High Stockings and that she is not allowed to wear panties. If she does not do as instructed, she will have violated rule B.

And she understands that if her stocking tops are showing when she stands, walks or sits down, this will violate rule C.

Gia is going to be both pampered and tormented numerous times this weekend. And she understands that each form of torment will be something she has suggested.

What the girl doesn't know is how to make the torments fit her desires of that particular moment. How to help the torments be varied enough that it won't be the exact same thing four nights in a row. Because each evening, as Gia is getting dressed for dinner out ... I will be putting her 3 suggestions into a into new envelopes and varying the order of the letters. Or I might just be sneaky and leave them the same as the previous evening.

What was "A" yesterday might be "C" tonight and then back to "A" again tomorrow.

So while Gia might love having a Massive Steel Butt Plug of her choosing in her Lovely Ass for a Single Evening ... Going through this activity 4 Nights In A Row could possibly be way more than the girl would wish to experience. Or she might be hoping for that Butt Plug to be used on her at least one evening when we are together but the shifting of the letters each day causes her to never select the rule infraction that allows this to happen.

And there lies my fun in the Punishment Paradox. No mater how Gil plays my game ... The result is totally out of her hands.

I am making almost every choice. And even though she does get to make the choice on which rule to break ... She never knows if breaking that rule will provide what she most craves that day.

My Blunders At Chicago eXXXotica 2019

2019-05-04T00:50:35Z

The most painful part of experiencing a short term emotional meltdown actually occurs once the individual is finally on the upswing. While a meltdown is taking place, the person's attention is mainly focused on taking each problem one step at a time. Find a workaround for the issue directly in front of you and then move onto getting back to the daylight again.

But once the meltdown is over and the brain starts to process information in a much more rational and comprehensive manner ... That is when the Guilt Monster rears its ugly head. While rational thought is a really marvelous thing and you're very happy to have it back ... After it finally does return is when you start to recognize the many numerous mistakes you made during the handful of days when the meltdown was going on.

While I did enjoy many elements of Chicago eXXXotica 2019, I was also dealing with a significant degree of physical discomfort that weekend. On Friday Afternoon, it was a moderate sized sinus headache. By Saturday Afternoon, the situation had evolved into a strong degree of tension in my neck and shoulders. Which left me experiencing a significant amount of mental distraction.

So Saturday Evening as I was driving away from the event ... I mistakenly left nearly $2,000 worth of camera equipment sitting in a large case on the pavement of the Parking Deck. Realizing the mistake as soon as I got back to the Western Suburbs and began unpacking the car, I then lost hours of sleep as I retraced my steps and tried to find the missing equipment.

I finally gave up and allowed myself to climb into bed about 5 in the morning. But I wound up getting barely more than 4 hours of slumber before I had to start getting ready for Sunday's edition of the event.

I received a phone call Sunday morning, from the Parking Deck Manager. The case had been handed to him and everything was returned to me (in good condition) before that day's Trade Show began. But I wound up having to function that afternoon on the bare essence of an emotional gas tank and a brain that was sputtering every step of the way.

Now looking at things from 20 / 20 hindsight ... I should have just stayed home that weekend. Because I clearly was not in a state of mind where I could properly interact with a large trade show full of people. Mainly because my concept of personal boundaries became increasingly inconsistent as the weekend wore on.

I was occasionally standing too close to a model I found interesting. And I was occasionally kissing someone on the hand or the cheek when I barely knew her and I hadn't asked for permission.

So while I was not being the type of Stupid Clod who gets himself tossed out of an Event because he can't keep his hands to himself ... I clearly was the guy who was making too many social mistakes and causing a solid handful of people to be concerned about what my real intentions were. And it was a good several days after the event, before my brain finally started putting the pieces together and realizing the true nature of how my weekend had been unfolding.

So I offer a sincere apology to anyone I interacted with in a less than appropriate manner. I usually put a great deal of effort and attention into being a polite gentleman. But on that particularly weekend, I failed on several occasions.

Erotic Movie Review: She's No Dummy

2019-04-30T16:18:17Z

Gia Milana

She's No Dummy

A “Doctor Adventures” Tale From BRAZZERS

Doctor
      Bambino’s work day has been on schedule and moving in the proper
      direction. Then life suddenly hands this fellow a rather odd twist
      as he’s returning from his lunch break.

As
      the man steps into his office, Bambino discovers that his new
      anatomically correct Teaching Dummy has arrived. And this is very
      good news for the man. The old one had most certainly seen better
      days and this new model is much more lifelike and easy to pose.

BUT
      ...

Did
      the shapely mannequin change the position of one of her hands
      while
      his back was turned for just a moment? Bambino sincerely remembers
      both arms loosely dangling by her side before he turned and took a
      few steps towards his desk. But now the right hand seems just an
      inch or two away from that perfectly formed artificial vagina.

No!

This
      obviously has to be impossible.

This
      incredibly attractive Doll is little more than a bendable
      stainless
      steel skeleton ...

Covered
      by a shapely and squeezable silicone body ...

Then
      topped with a Betty Page style brunette wig?

And
      just for the sake of being silly, some smart ass decided to dress
      her
      in that skimpy knockoff of a nursing uniform before shipping the
      carton to him?

Or
      ...

Might
      this lovely synthetic body actually contain a human like
      personality
      which longs to be caressed and embraced by the handsome Doctor who
      has just opened her shipping crate. And if this is the nature of
      what she truly is ... How far will this lovely Doll go to gain the
      attention and affection she craves?

And
      the story plays out from there.

So
      far, I’ve only highlighted various bits and pieces of the first 5
      minutes in this nicely produced 32 minute motion picture. But
      unfortunately ... If we take out the first 5 and the final 3 ...
      The remaining 24 minutes are a straight through Fuck & Suck
      Marathon between Gia Milana and Bambino.

And
      please don’t get me wrong. I’m all for showing a solid amount of
      sex during an X Rated Motion Picture. It’s just that the center
      part of this production was 2 dozen non stop minutes of the guy
      and
      the gal doing various forms of copulation.

And
      in this reviewer’s opinion, the plot line and pacing of this tale
      really needed a good 3 or 4 instances when Bambino’s enjoyment of
      the new Anatomy Doll were being occasionally interrupted by
      someone wanting his attention. Stop the sex for just a moment and
      show both the Doctor and the Doll being thoroughly frustrated by
      the
      fact that the two of them just can’t get a break.

What
      if a Nurse is needing some paperwork signed or a Delivery Man is
      worried he might have handed the Doctor the wrong crate. So now
      he’s
      making sure the Doctor was supposed to get the 6 foot tall box and
      not the smaller one that contained a new computer monitor. Or
      maybe
      the Nurse keeps realizing today’s mass of paperwork still needs
      one
      more signature.

And
      a small handful of these interruptions could have presented
      delightful situations where someone unexpectedly knocking on the
      door
      decides to spend a few seconds admiring the sensual perfection of
      the
      new Teaching Dummy. And the more Bambino tries to slyly ease this
      individual out the door, the more he or she seems determined to
      remain for just a few more seconds.

So
      during those instances where Bambino wants nothing more than to
      get
      his rocks off in as many ways as possible, the person who keeps
      knocking at the door keeps humorously delaying the man’s attempts
      at achieving satisfaction. And this would also allow the Doll to
      clearly show the intense degree of sexual frustration she is
      experiencing.

Because
      she’s not supposed to have feelings. But something about this good
      looking Doctor allows him to see her true nature and give her the
      opportunity to be almost perfectly human when the two of them are
      alone together. But then that third or fourth person keeps
      stepping
      into the room and this causes the gal to revert to nothing but an
      emotionless plastic life sized Action Figure when any eyes other
      than
      Bambino’s are focused on her.

And
      all of this commotion could have caused the actual sex to be twice
      as
      enjoyable for this viewer. Because it would have spaced everything
      out just a bit and allowed the love making between the two of them
      to
      sincerely feel stolen instead of just being an easy 30 minute fuck
      fest.

So
      on a scale of 1 to 5 Stars ...

The
      acting performance of Gia Milana and Bambino receives a full 5.
      Each
      is a good performer and the two of them dance together quite
      nicely.

The
      sound, lighting and camera work brings in another 4 Stars. While
      everything was properly credible, nothing came across as
      outstanding.

But
      the story plotting (with its long session of runway sex that grew
      old
      fairly quickly) is being handed only 3 stars.

Which
      brings the final average to 4 and puts my grade for this movie at
      a
      B+

(On
      the A to F scale)

While
      I do understand that Direct To Video Erotica usually has to be
      produced on a rather tight budget in a reasonably short amount of
      time ... My mind can see so many little elements that would have
      been easy to include and would have pushed the entertainment
      factor a
      solid step higher.

FETISH MOVIE REVIEW: Becoming A New Woman

2019-04-23T20:22:24Z

Lucy Purr

Becoming A New Woman
Part 1

This Video is the First Episode in a series of Mad Scientist Tales from Torvea Films. (www.torveafilms.com)

In the traditional Mad Scientist Genre, it is almost a Story Telling Commandment that you must have a Damsel In Distress. And the main element of this story group involves a man who is unhappy with the nature of the basic female. Because basic is always out of balance somehow.

Too Tall
Too Short
Too Intelligent
Too Lacking Intelligence
Too This And That And The Other.

So why not take the best qualities from about a dozen carefully selected young women and scientifically combine them into the absolutely perfect blend. And owing to the fact that no young woman in her right mind would agree to be part of such a process ... This Mad Scientist will have put his plan in motion by following the Tried and True Method.

Kidnap them and force them to do what he wants.

So a young lady has received a coupon for a Free Product or Service. And all she needs to do is be at a particular address at a particular time. But once she arrives at the agreed upon location, her existence is drastically changed.

The main challenge in properly reviewing a Torvea Video is that each story (or story group) is essentially a Custom Product which was created for an audience of One. A Man or Woman has submitted a desired plot line and a suggestion or two on the Model or Models who should be hired. Then Torvea begins with that info and brings forth a product which will hopefully appeal to the initial customer while also being something a certain portion of the general populace might find entertaining.

Keeping these facts in mind ... I’ll attempt to review “Becoming A New Woman: Part 1” from two different sides of the same coin.

A: If I had been the Patron who paid for the initial creation.

B: If I am an individual who sees this product advertised on the Torvea Web Page and decides to buy it for my own enjoyment.

The delightful Lucy Purr is a very good choice for Damsel Number One. Her face and body enable her to look adorable as a Plain Jane or absolutely stunning as a Glamour Doll. And Lucy’s acting ability is quite solid. Hand the girl a basic script which dots and crosses all the proper letters and Lucy will provide a performance which helps the character be more than just a body placed in front of a camera. She underplays a bit here. She overplays a bit there. And step by step, she helps the story be a fine balance between drama, horror and camp.

And on the technical side of things, there is a lot to be pleased with. This is not the type of “Shoot It & Post It” video that is being cranked out way too often these days. The lighting, sound, camera work and editing are all a serious step above the usual fare. And the small number of special effects are delightfully campy. They nicely enhance the plot but this Production Company doesn’t make the mistake of using them to substitute for plot.

So by and large ... I believe both the Initial Patron and the General Viewer have solid reasons for enjoying this video. But going back to the subject of plotting, this General Viewer finds himself slightly disappointed by the fact that Lucy remains totally clothed during the course of her entire performance (as do the Models in the Sequel Videos). In my opinion, a bit of clothing loss or tearing would have nicely enhanced the perception of Damsel helplessness in this type of story.

It isn’t that I would want to see the girl completely naked. But taking her down to just her bra and panties would be a delightfully campy way of showing just how obsessed the Mad Doctor is with having things exactly his way. And if the video had included a scene of her struggling against his forcibly removing her outer clothing, that would have added another nice touch to the story line.

So on the scale of A to F:

I’m going to give this short Motion Picture an A-

While it does rise way above a lot of the Custom Video Production taking place during this era of inexpensive medium quality Sound and Video equipment ... I sincerely believe it would have been made even better by including a couple of Camp and Drama touches which could have been very easy to add in.

Erotic Movie Review: Dominate Me

2017-11-14T23:25:46Z

Dominate Me

A Video from TUSHY . COM

Staring Leigh Raven & Mick Blue

What I like most about Leigh Raven is that she can dance equally well on all three sides of the Persona Triangle.

The girl is quite striking when walking and talking the BUTCH STRUT, adorable when simply playing the TOM BOY and delightfully enticing when adopting a persona much more GIRLY & FEMININE. And the folks at TUSHY have done a nice job of tailoring this story to the talents of someone who is so good at being Triple Threat.

Having complemented them on this production, I sincerely wish they'd gone one step further in their story telling.

Mick Blue plays the part of a pissed off Businessman who isn't happy with a Downtown Shopkeeper played by Leigh. Something she did is causing him a strong degree of embarrassment and he is threatening legal action.

If truth be told, the girl would most likely win if he attempted to sue her or have her arrested. But can her little shop really weather all the bad publicity that might be generated by the situation?

And on the other hand, will Mick wind up looking like a Total Ass if he tries to drag someone like Leigh through the Bad Publicity Grinder?

Clearly ... The two of them need to work something out behind closed doors. So they've agreed to a private meeting at his home.

The story unfolds in 2 Acts which can basically be divided into 6 Scenes. 1, 2 & 3 are the process of leading up to Anal Penetration. 4, 5 & 6 are the various ways Mick penetrates Leigh Anally.

And I do wish to praise the people at Tushy for producing a well crafted and solidly entertaining Porn Story with a Nicely Designed Plot. At the same time, the Erotic Author inside of me wishes they had put just a tad more effort into the process of giving each Scene its own personality.

1. Leigh Arrives at Mick's home. She's wearing skimpy cutoff jeans, a similar top and her hair is a buzz cut. It's easy to see that Mick will think she's cute and probably ask her for a sexual favor or two, in exchange for him agreeing to back away from the threatened legal action.

After the two of them have negotiated an agreeable solution and engaged in a couple of wet kisses, Mick hands Leigh a package of very elegant lingerie and makes it clear she needs to change into this outfit before the two of them continue their "settlement negotiations".

2. Leigh has changed into the outfit and returns to Mick. This is followed by him leading her into giving him a Deep Throat Blowjob. Something which she actually winds up enjoying as much as he does. It's clear that her ego is rising to the challenge he is setting for her.

I would have put the blowjob scene before the clothing change. Have him shamelessly make use of the Tom Boy's mouth during Scene 2 and then make it clear to Leigh that she needs to appear a tad more feminine and dainty before he allows her to continue working off her debt.

I would also have placed a wig in the bag with the lingerie. This could have produced an intriguing moment where Leigh is changing into the outfit and she stares at the mirror and asks her reflection "Is all of this really worth it?"

3. This was straight on vaginal sex and I wouldn't have seen a need to do anything different.

4. At the beginning of this scene, I would have had Mick say that she is almost too experienced at giving sexual pleasure. It's a bit of a shame I never had the opportunity to claim your virginity. And Liegh could have pointed to her bottom and said "I'm still a Virgin here".

5. Near the end of this scene, I would have had Leigh's wig fall off. She's suddenly afraid that she's broken the mood but Mick starts laughing a bit and this causes her to start laughing.

6. And the story continues with him doing another round of having her anally.

As the story ends, each of them is completely satisfied with their business arrangement.

And having provided my slightly different take on what my production of this story would have been, I do have to add that I don't think I could have done a better job than the folks at Tushy have done. My version on the story would simply have been slightly different and involved a tad more story telling.

I do sincerely hope Leigh Raven finds a reason to work with these people again.

So to make a long story short ... When it comes to Dominate Me - Staring Leigh Raven & Mick Blue ...

Buy It! You'll Enjoy It!

Dear Valerie,

The next time you're going to perform at a competition or a showcase ...

Please warn me if you're planning on being a T.S.D. that evening.

TASMANIAN STAGE DEVIL

I'm asking for this favour because you almost caused me to have a nervous breakdown the evening of Showgirls and Polegirls.

Each time I had my camera focused on you and I thought I was ready to take the shot ... You were suddenly somewhere else.

Please don't get me wrong.

You did an amazing show. Especially the couple of times you did a leap towards the pole and latched yourself onto it using only your legs.

I just wish I'd had the opportunity to capture more of you doing those types of tricks.

So give this Old Boy a bit of warning next time Girl.

Then I can set the cameras up in video made and let them do all the hard work

And did I mention that it was a FANTASTIC performance?

Showgirls & Polegirls - Bliss

2015-05-21T20:52:09Z

Bliss is a tall girl who has the balance of a somewhat smaller girl.

And that can be very important when doing something athletic. When I watched her at the show ... Her movements were often slow, sensual and nicely dramatic. Then the girl would make a sudden unexpected maneuver and my brain would be pondering ...

"How The *&^%$# Did She Do That?"

Bliss was someone who didn't simply cling to the poles and wind up forgetting about the audience. She clearly understood that they were there to see her flirt. So she gave them this and then she allowed herself to feed off their interest.

She handed us a solid performance and I enjoyed it very much.

Showgirls & Polegirls - Keira

2015-05-21T03:09:53Z

I have to admit that as I was sorting through my pictures ...

I found myself both loving and hating Keira.

Loving the fact that so many of the shots turned out incredibly well. And then wanting to tie the girl to a chair and toss marshmallows at her for the fact that I had to sift through so many pics to select the 19 best.

I easily narrowed the portfolio down to 50.

Then trimmed a bit more to get 35.

Started wincing as I pushed for 25.

And getting it below 20 was almost causing me to pull my hair out.

And then I was afraid that it would somehow look like I was playing favourites ... Showing more than 15 pictures of this gal when most of the others were lucky to get only 7 or 8. But the truth of the matter was that her body movements and the timing of the lights were working perfectly together. And that is how I got so many good shots of Keira.

I do have to say that i would have liked just a bit more stage play. A bit more strutting from one pole to the other ... Sauntering a bit and flirting with the audience.

Because she kind of planted herself at one pole and mostly stayed there.

But what Keira did was very good and I look forward to the opportunity to see her do another performance.

Showgirls & Polegirls - Pussy Willow

2015-05-18T19:44:12Z

My initial impression of Pussy willow was not that favourable.

But about a third of the way through her performance, I saw something click between her and the music. So after the routine was over, I asked my wife if she had noticed anything sort of disconnect between the Dancer and the Sound Track.

K's responded that this did appear to be the case. That the girl had initially seemed surprised by what popped up at the starting point, and sort of had to make it up as she went along until the music came along that she was actually planning to dance to.

So ...

Congratz to a girl who recovered well from a false start. And I hope she doesn't have to face this again in the near future.

Deanna Deadlee: Video Shoot (Part I)

2015-05-12T14:46:56Z

This past Saturday ...

I had the pleasure of doing a 4 hour video shoot with the Lovely, Talented and Delightfully Sassy Deanna Deadly (aka Deanna Deadlee).

It was a very enjoyable experience and a fair amount of hard work. But we managed to put a fairly large amount of video into the storage cards and I posted the first completed story on my store Monday Night.

http://clips4sale.com/twisted-tails

"Pissed Off In Pantyhose"

Available as MP4 or WMV

Deanna plays the part of Melanie Scarlett ... A Fetish Diva who was quite happy to have met a handsome gentleman who adores her legs and is perfectly happy to buy Stockings, Pantyhose and Lingerie for her.

But now Melanie has discovered that she isn't the only Fetish Doll in Tony's life. And this Red Headed Bitch Queen plans on following her Mother's favorite motto. Don't Get Mad ... Get Even!

What follows is her finding a very creative way of getting revenge. Ripping up the pantyhose he gave her ... In a video that explains to his friends, his family and the rest of the world why she's doing this.

I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Showgirls & Polegirls - Dallas

2015-05-06T14:03:04Z

Dallas caught my attention for a number of reasons.

Shapely and muscular.

A lovely caramel skin tone.

Marvellous pole situps.

Very smooth and easy transitions.

I would have liked to see those transitions be just a bit longer and more involved. Most of her routine was spent only doing pole performing. But she was very entertaining and I would love to see the girl perform again.

Now on to my notes concerning Nikita Day's performance during Showgirls & Polegirls at On The Border.

Long and delightfully slender legs.

Acrobatic and bendy. Knows how to twist her body to an almost unnatural position without looking like she's in any discomfort.

She did have an awkward dismount at one point. But if I were judging a competition ... That is the only thing I could really fault the girl for. Even Ginger Rogers wasn't perfect when she was dancing backwards in high heels.

**************************************************

Tall, Slender and Sensuous.

Spins like Mad.

Slow, Deliberate and Sultry when she walks about the stage.

Graceful and In Sync with the Music ... Almost Ballet Like.

Difficult Moves are performed with Style and Grace.

Erotica vs. Pornography - A Personal Opinion

2015-04-27T21:58:01Z

Being a strong believer in the concept of “Calling It What It Is” …

I wanted to take a few moments to share my thoughts on the differences between Erotica and Pornography.

While I do believe that each is a legitimate form of entertainment … I also believe that we do both genres a massive disservice if we allow the lines of distinction between them to fade into the background. And finding a clear line of separation between the two is often not that easy. Mainly because of two quite disparate groups.

A – The Overly Moralistic

B – The Shameless Hucksters

While the motives of each group are completely different … The two sides are all too often contributing to the same result. Making it nearly impossible for Joe and Jane Average to discern the difference between what is Erotica and what is Pornography.

The “Overly Moralistic” make it a point to rail against Porn and to point out the slightest occurrence of Porn whenever they believe they have found it. Unfortunately … In their minds … The term Porn usually translates into “Any picture or story or subject which causes an individual to have fond thoughts of sex”.

Then the “Shameless Hucksters” contribute to an already massive degree of confusion by allowing the “Almighty Coin” to be the primary cornerstone of their business philosophy.

If you can sell it by calling it Erotica … Do so.

If you can sell it by calling it Porn … Do so.

And the result of all the crazy actions from both of these groups (and a handful of others) is that the narrow boundary between Erotica and Pornography gets lost among the ruins. So please allow this Southern Gentleman to offer his two main guidelines on recognizing the difference between the two genres.

- 1- Stories
In a written story or a motion picture … The rule which I follow, for determining the difference between Erotica and Pornography, is very similar to the rule I use for classifying the differences between:

Epic Adventure VS Shoot Em Up

or

Epic Fantasy VS Hack & Slash

In an Epic Adventure or Epic Fantasy … A moderate amount of action should exist to help advance the plot and give strong reasons for character development.
In Shoot Em Up and Hack & Slash … A bare bones degree of plot and character development exists to provide a reason for tons of action to take place.

Lord Of The Rings was Epic Fantasy and Epic Adventure.

Masters Of The Universe was Hack & Slash.

Likewise …

If flirting / hugging / kissing / sex are simply one important part of an intricately woven plot, which has a strong degree of character development – You most likely have erotica.

If three minutes of plot are there simply to provide a storytelling excuse for the Real Estate Sales Vixen to meet and fuck the Horney Home Buyer, the Buyer’s Well Hung Contractor and the Contractor’s Large Breasted Bimbo Secretary – It’s most likely Porn.

( or possibly a G.A.O. training film )

– 2 – Pictures
In the realms of Photography, Painting and Drawing … My dividing line between Erotica and Pornography usually depends on the absence or presence of two different activities.

( A ) Penetration

( B ) Masturbation

It is my sincere opinion that if either of these is occurring in a picture (or picture set) … The presentation has most likely crossed the line into pornography. And if you do any business with models who define their work style as “Limited to Mainstream or Erotic” … You will quickly learn that most of them follow this train of thought.

Now, I am the first person to admit that this little set of rules can not – will not – should not cover every single instance of properly defining what is erotica and what is pornography. The are merely starting points for beginning a constructive dialogue on the matter.

And I’d be very happy to hear opinions on this topic.

Sincerely,

Travis Clemmons

It has occurred to me ... That in my review of the winners at "The Grand Prix of Exotic Dance" ... The one Lovely Lady who didn't get reviewed is the distinguished establishment which hosted the event.

On The Border
10741 South 27th Street
Franklin Wisconsin 53132

www.clubotb.com

The delightful thing about Club OTB is that it's filled with a Central States flavor. The management hasn't tried to replicate Las Vegas or Los Angeles or Montreal or New York. You step in the doors at On The Border and you quickly realize this is a place that is happy to be situated at a mid point between Milwaukee and Chicago.

While there's reasonable amount of Flash and Pizzazz ... None of that walks up and slaps you in the face. You quickly notice the Dancers, the Servers and the Bartenders. And you get the distinct impression that your comfort and your enjoyment are very important to them.

So if you sincerely enjoy quality Adult Entertainment ... And you have a reason to be in the Chicago / Milwaukee Area ... Make it a point to come and see the place.

Or better yet ... Make Club OTB your reason for coming to the area and then find other things to do while you're in the Eastern Wisconsin / North East Illinois Region.

3 Major League Baseball Teams

2 Major League Basketball Teams

2 Major League Football Teams

3 Top List Zoos

A Top List Amusement Park

Several Top List Museums

More Beer and Food Festivals than you'll ever be able to keep up with.

A Burlesque Community that Montreal, New York and Paris would be envious of.

Show up for On The Border and then spend another 3 or 4 days getting to know the area. You might just be happy that you traveled here, instead of some place that has Tourist Trap written all over it.

And if you missed the Grand Prix of Exotic Dance ... Fear Not !!!

StripperFest is right around the corner -- This Coming November !!!

Stay Tuned For More Information.

I have 6 very insightful words to say about Roxi D'Lite's performance at the 2014 Grand Prix of Exotic Dance.

She Saw …

She Conquered …

We Came.

While each individual who entered the contest arrived totally prepared to give a performance … Roxi walked in the door with a much less noble intention. Her mission was to steal our hearts and then refused to give them back.

She accomplished her goal by following the rule of KISS.

Keep It Simple Stupid!

There was no water tank.

There were no squirt bottles filled with brightly colored paint.

There were no 90 mph pole spins.

Her entire routine had nary a moment of LSD Lighting.

This amazing woman confidently sauntered onto the stage and she danced … And she shimmied … And she strutted with such unbelievable confidence … You'd almost believe this was how she came out of her Mamma's womb.

That Roxi D'Lite was born wearing High Heels and Lingerie and carrying a Feathered Boa … And this Lovely Evil Temptress has never spent a single moment questioning her mission in life.

Born to Dance!

Born to Flirt!

Born to leave behind a list of broken hearts that is only slightly smaller than the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Phone Directory.

Within the first minute of Roxi stepping onto the stage, the temperature in the room had already risen at least eleven and a half degrees. And after she'd finished her Saturday evening routine … Even the Ceiling Tiles needed to have their blood pressure checked.

Roxi D'Lite didn't simply earn the title of World Champion of Exotic Dance. She stole it fair and square. By methodically stealing the attention and the hearts of the Audience and the Judges.

Christina Aguchi - Grand Prix of Exotic Dance

In October of 2013, I had the opportunity to interview the lovely and talented Phoneix Phires.

As the two of us were talking about the situations and circumstances of her life ... I was impressed with how she wouldn't stop raving about the talents and virtues of Christina Aguchi.

How Christina had inspired her ... Encouraged her ... Tutored her. It quickly became obvious that Phoenix was placing a great deal of the credit for her success in the hands of someone she considers to be a performance mentor.

I finally had the opportunity to watch Christina in action this past March in the Vertical Pole Showdown at On The Border. Her technique was top notch as was her dedication to providing a highly entertaining show.

She returned to Club OTB in June for the Grand Prix of Exotic Dance. In this instance, the show was a free for all. Strippers vs Pole Dancers vs Burlesque Performers. There were no categories to go by. Each performer simply had to do her best routines and hope she could give the Audience and the Judges a strong reason to enjoy what she was doing.

Competing in the talent packed Premier Division ... Christina scored a solid Second Place that weekend. Competing against a skill set that included people like Ryan Ashley and Roxi D'Lite ... This was no easy accomplishment.

My one criticism of Christina's performance is that she began each round of the competition dressed in a very ornate East Asian inspired costume. And while these outfits were incredibly attractive and intriguing ... The ornate nature of each tended to restrict Christina's performance style.

During Round 1, this was no major hindrance. The high level of her talent and training were easily enough to propel the woman into the Top 3 Contenders.

But in Round 2 ... The stakes were much higher and the Judges were now forcing themselves to notice and rate each individual issue, no matter how small. Each Contestant was expected to fight with the best weapons she had in her arsenal.

It is my sincere opinion that Round 2 is where the eye catching costume had the unfortunate effect of slowing down the beginning of Christina's performance. Her momentum didn't appear to hit it's full stride until at least a minute into the routine. At which point, the enthusiasm of the Judges and the Audience was already slightly dampened.

And I'm not accusing Christina of playing it safe. The decision to use the masked costume was a very bold move. But a bold move can occasionally be a miscalculation.

Given the two opponents she was facing in Round 2 ... Christina's strongest line of attack would have been to do a routine that allowed for the maximum degree of flirtation and titillation. The way this competition was stacking up, the gal needed a tad less art and another ounce or two of sizzle.

Failing to provide this was what caused Christina Aguchi to fall to Second Place in this year's GPED.

The Gal was incredibly good those two evenings. Someone else was simply a slice or two better.

Ryan Ashley - Grand Prix of Exotic Dance

If anyone ever asks my opinion about Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) or Matrix Revolutions (2003) ... I'll usually hand them the following answer.

On it's own ... It's actually a pretty good movie. But it's a rather poor sequel to an already established product. And the reason for this is that it basically sidesteps the reality that was created in the previous set of stories.

But this is supposed to be my review of the dance performance of Ryan Ashley in the 2014 edition of the Grand Prix of Exotic Dance. So let me get down to talking about the pretty girl and I'll swing back around to the Sci Fi babbling later on.

In order to properly compete in a contest like GPED ...

-A -
You have to be reasonably Attractive.

Ryan Ashley is Incredibly Beautiful.

- B -
You have to be Talented.

Ryan Ashley is at the top of the Talent Hill.

- C -
You have to have a complete bag full of Strategies.

When a competitor adds a new and different spin to the game ... You have to be able to present a strategy which negates what they've just done by showcasing your talents in an even better way. And this is where Ryan unfortunately came up a step short at the Grand Prix of Exotic dance.

On Friday night ... In the preliminary round ... Everyone came in essentially blind. While it's true that some of the dancers might have crossed paths before, at club bookings or at other competitions, no one knew the total story on anyone that particular evening.

Had A changed her hair color?

Had B learned some intriguing yoga moves and poses?

Had C come up with a costume idea?

And so on and so forth.

In that evenings competition ... Ryan was quite Lovely and incredibly Hilarious. Her Wind Up Doll routine was a joy to behold and she transitioned effortlessly into an impressive Pole Dance Session and then a delightfully erotic Milk Bath. Everything fit perfectly from stem to stern. Not a single loose nut or bolt in any part of the construction.

Then came Saturday Evening's Final Round ... And her opening totally knocked me out of my chair. This Ogre of a man carried a kicking and clawing Ryan Ashley onto the platform and callously tossed the girl into a cage.

All masked and bound up in tight black leather ... A frantic and psychotic Ryan Ashley threw herself against the bars and snarled at the audience as she struggled to gain her freedom.

Freedom brought with it the opportunity to do an equally tormented Pole Performance. And I found myself waiting in rapped anticipation as I wondered what was going to happen next.

Which is when she faltered and fell into her own personal Matrix Revolutions conundrum.

Ryan ended that evening's performance with a Paint Bath. Essentially a repeat of the previous evening's Milk bath. And while it was a lovely and sensual presentation ... It totally killed the tormentedly erotic mood that had been building during the previous several minutes.

Not a bad routine at all.

Simply an improper sequel to the Psychotic Bitch Queen in a Cage who had been turning up the pressure cooker and causing our adrenalin to push us along at full blast during the first two parts of her Saturday Evening Presentation.

In my sincere opinion ... Act III needed to be even more Nut Case Fingernails on the Chalkboard Crazy than the first two parts ... But she avoided going there.

And that was what robbed Ryan Ashley of her best chance at taking first place at GPED. At the very point when she should have been turning up the fire under the Pressure Cooker ... Ryan made the mistake of turning it down a notch. An unfortunate error that caused her to finish in Third Place instead of First or Second.

Having handed Ryan Ashley this bit of criticism ... I can't wait to see the Lovely Lady perform again.

Trinity Turner - Grand Prix of Exotic Dance

Prior to GPED ... I was not at all familiar with the work of Trinity Turner. One of those situations where both of us were fairly well known in the Entertainment World but our paths had never come anywhere close to crossing.

On the first evening of the competition ... Trinity didn't really impress me to any great degree. Which meant that I was really in for a surprise on the second night, when the Blonde Dynamo came close to knocking me out of my seat.

Why was there such a difference between Evening 1 and Evening 2? In a nutshell ... It all boils down to what she did versus what I was expecting.

When it comes to my standards for reviewing a Performance Contest ... I'll start by saying that I earned my Wings in the Costume & Talent Competitions at Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions.

*    A member of the Event Staff
*    A Talent Show Contestant
*    A Talent Show Judge

And these gatherings are a place where both the Audience and the Judges can be incredibly unforgiving.

Each contestant has no more than 2 minutes to get the job done. That's an allowed time of only 120 seconds to step onto the stage, show off the costume, perform a skit that keeps the audience entertained and then get the Living Daylights out of there.

At 121 seconds ... You're disqualified. Trust me on this, I've seen the penalty flag get dropped way too many times on novices who didn't seem to understand that the 120 second mark was a Stop Sign. It didn't matter that their costumes were stunning and their performances were hilarious. He or She went over the time limit and their score immediately became ZERO.

With this being the Swamp I crawled out of ... I will admit to being somewhat impatient when it comes to a Dancer starting her performance. Even though she might have something like 4 or 5 minutes to complete her routine, I don't want to watch her stand there for 30 seconds and do not much more than look pretty and show off her outfit. Not even 20 seconds.

In fact ... 15 seconds is almost too long for me.

Which meant that Trinity's Barbie Doll routine came close to sinking the girl on her first evening.

The Collector's Edition Display Box was a really neat idea.

The girl's look was incredibly adorable.

But too little happened over the course of the first minute.

And after that stumbling and staggered opening ... Trinity was going to have to work twice as hard to get someone like me to cut her any slack during the following few minutes. In my mind ... She'd completely blown that evening's opportunity.

Thankfully for her ... Evening 1 was a practice round for the Ladies in the Princess Division. The only scores that really mattered to the Judges were the ones that would be handed out on Evening 2. Which is where that Gal forced this Reviewer to take my limited expectations and toss them right out the window.

On that Second Evening of the Event ... Trinity Turner was something close to a Force Of Nature.

Sweet, Sexy & Sassy!

Nonstop Action and flirtation ... Well balanced by Humor and Athleticism.

And it wasn't that I'd forgotten about Evening 1. It was simply that I no longer cared.

Walking into Evening 2, I was a skeptic. Walking out, I was a fan.

Looking back on it all ... Trinity seemed quite a bit more comfortable as a Cowgirl than a Barbie Doll. And maybe that's the point of it all. Go with what you know and be the best you can be at what you really are.

Whatever was going on ... The Gal took first place in the Princess Division.

After leaving me and my friends thinking she was going to be outclassed by her competitors ... The girl walked onto the stage that second evening and stole the trophy fair and square.

My Evening @ Exxxotica Chicago

2015-04-27T18:57:44Z

( Originally published on Blogger 07-14-2014 )

On Friday – July 12th … I enjoyed a lovely six hours at Exxxotica in Rosemont Illinois.

A major part of the fun was that I was being accompanied by my delightful friend Pixie. Someone my lovely wife and I trust to provide stimulating conversation, occasionally engage in silly flirtation and generally distract me from the fact that I'm surrounded by this ever growing mass of event attendees.

As long as I have someone to hold my hand and be the focus of my attention … I don't start having this irrational fear that the Zombie Hoard of several hundred people is truly a Zombie Hoard of several hundred people. Pixie does a marvelous job of being a friend and chasing away those anxiety gremlins.

The first booth that really caught my attention was JO.

www.systemjo.com

I have a slight weakness for cute Tom Boys and Charlie was really ringing that bell for me. Pixie and I bought a couple of the JO products … I took this pic of Charlie and then we moved on from to another area.

About an hour later … Pixie and I crossed paths with Sheridan Love. I'd never known about this gal but I have to say that she is adorable. I'm pretty sure I became a fan of hers that evening.

www.sheridanlove.com

The highlight of my evening was being able to spend a few minutes chatting with the delightful Tara Lynn Foxx.

www.taralynnfoxx.com

I've been an admirer of hers for about five years and one of the things I most enjoy about Ms. Foxx is that she doesn't just depend on her beauty. The gal always brings a certain degree of acting and sly humor into her photo and video shoots.

And speaking of sly humor … Tara Lynn really enjoyed raking me over the coals when I had my picture taken with her. On most occasions … The Gal will get approached by 2 or 3 guys and all the boys take turns snapping pictures of each other standing next to her. But seeing that I was with a pretty girl … And assuming this girl was the Lady of my Life … Tara Lynn decided she was going to provide Pixie with the maximum possible amount of Blackmail Material.

As I was about to do the standard pose of gently placing my arm around Tara Lynn's shoulders … The little sneak turns to face me, grabs my hands, plants them on her bottom and then tells Pixie to take the picture.

And before I had the chance to even begin to think of blushing … Tara Lynn repeated that little trick by spinning around, putting my hands on her boobs and telling Pixie to take another picture.

Now don't get me wrong. I sincerely enjoyed the opportunity to grope the tits and ass of Tara Lynn Foxx. And my Lovely Evil Wife almost cracked up laughing when she heard the story and then saw the pictures.

But a little bit of fair warning would have been nice!

( and couldn't you just hear the little violin playing in the background as I was telling this story? )

So … Those are the highlights of my evening at Exxxotica Chicago. I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

What I like most about Phoenix Phires is that she isn't afraid to take the Show Business Bull by the horns and ride it till one of them is too exhausted to go on any longer. And from what I've seen of this girl … My money is on the Bull giving out first.

Phoenix is athletic. She's imaginative. She's dedicated to practicing and performing. And she's just so damn sexy in that incredibly cute sort of way.

Competing against a very talented crowd of performers … Phoenix came in Second in the Princess Division at the 2014 Grand Prix of Exotic Dance. And with her high standards, incredible imagination and top notch work ethic … I have no doubt the girl will continue to climb even higher.

Valerie Mae - Grand Prix of Exotic Dance

This young woman's name is Valerie Mae. Some of you might know her better by the Stage Persona of Mariah Pole.

If I asked you to describe the most important talent Valerie / Maria has ... What would you say to me?

*    Her amazing sense of balance.

*    The strength of her arms and legs.

*    Her ability to spin herself at something close to Light Speed.

On any of those answers ... You'd be just a bit off the mark.

The young woman's most important talent is her ability to pay attention and comprehend.

This past March, Valerie competed in the Vertical Pole Showdown at On The Border. As talented as the young Woman is ... The unfortunate news that evening was that three other Girls were somewhat better. Mariah Pole missed the opportunity to compete in the finals by a single step on the ladder ... Finishing the Preliminary Round in Fourth Place instead of Third.

About a week after the event ... I asked Valerie if she would like for me to write her a “Personal Review”. Essentially take the time to set down the things I saw as her doing right and wrong. She eagerly said “YES”.

The entire review comprised two full pages and I'm not about to bore everyone by going through the damn thing line by line. So I'll make this reasonably short by simply highlighting the three main points that I touched on.

- A -
The Pole is often your Dance Partner. Don't make the mistake of letting it become the Crutch that you fear to let go of.

- B -
When a Stage has more than one Pole ... You need to switch locations about every 45 to 60 seconds. And as you are switching locations, it is occasionally a good idea to switch the style of the music.

- C -
Please remember that the best travel path, from one location to another, is usually not a straight line. Take a bit of time to meander ... Flirt with the audience ... Show that you can perform without having to have the Pole there as your Security Blanket.

A few days ago ... As I watched Valerie's performance in the Princess division of the Grand Prix of Exotic Dance ... It was obvious that she had paid close attention to my advice. And even more important than that ... The Girl had obviously sought out the advice of others and learned a great deal from them in a short amount of time.

The basic Pole Dancing Skills were still evident. But they were now the very strong framework for an incredibly well balanced routine. A Multi Layered Presentation which enabled a Pole Dancer to compete head to head against Women who had trained as Strippers and Burlesque Performers.

Of the Five Contestants in the Princess Division that weekend ... Mariah was the one who had strayed the farthest from her natural element. Yet she stepped up to the stage and took Third Place.

The Girl was able to do this because she took the time to listen and learn.

*    She took my small pieces of advice
*    She combined these ideas with the advice of other people who surround this industry
*    She kept the basic framework of a Pole Performance
*    She built a solid structure on top of it

And in the span of only three months, a well trained Pole Dancer grew into a highly competitive Stage Performer. Because she listened ... And she learned ... And she transformed her stage persona of Mariah into something much larger and more entertaining than what it had previously been.

Three Cheers To Valerie Mae !!!

Movie Announcement - 100 Days Of Mind Control

2015-04-27T18:16:02Z

( Originally published on Blogger 05-22-2014 )

Something a bit different for a change.

Instead of reviewing another person's movie or a book ... I'm going to take a few minutes to tell you about a 30 minute Erotic Drama I recently wrote and directed. It has just premiered on clips4sale.

Raven

100 Days Of Mind Control

The lovely and talented Amanda Marie performs the character of Raven, a young woman who is trying to find her emotional balance after a series of failed relationships.

Raven is finally coming to grips with the fact that she has an extreme emotional weakness for sexy young women. Each time the girl has allowed herself to become involved with another female, the situation has always been intensely physical and incredibly passionate. Yet each new situation has wound up falling apart within four to six months.

Desperately needing a new place to stay ... After her fling with Jill hit the brick wall ... Raven has allowed herself to enter into a “Friends With Benefits” agreement with an older man.

During the past month ... Kevin has been a perfect gentleman. Very happy when Raven chooses to have sex with him or simply cuddle up and fall asleep with him. And completely understanding of the fact that his young friend does need a room all her own. That private space where she can be alone with her thoughts, do some emotional sorting and consider the direction her life has been taking.

At the 30 Day Mark ... Raven is pleasantly surprised when she comes home from work and discovers a small gift from Kevin. A Jazz & Blues Mix he created to commemorate the first month of the two of them living together.

After putting on the ear buds, Raven presses the play button and starts enjoying the very relaxing music Keven selected for the play list. But after just a few moments ... A very strange set of thoughts begin popping into her brain.

I Am A Slave .......... A Pleasure Doll

Many of the people who read my articles have thanked me for the reviews I've posted of movies like Captive, Process, Sisters, and The Truth About Hypnosis. If you are a fan of any of these ... I sincerely believe “Raven: 100 Days Of Mind Control” is the type of story you would enjoy.

This video contains scenes of Edging ... Doing Housework while Nude ... Oral Training with a dildo … Hypno Training … and a few things more.

Camile Leon - Racy In Red

( Originally published on Blogger 04-14-2014 )

The people who know me well, clearly understand that I am a storyteller first and a photographer second. Because of this, I occasionally bend a camera rule here or there.

Sometimes it flops.

Sometimes it pays off really well.

The pictures featured here are my Top 10 from the final set Camile Leon and I did on April 9 of 2014. She'd arrived at my location in Vernon Hills at 10:00 AM and was promising that I had the use of her time and talents until 4:00 PM. Being a Southern Gentleman (and knowing she needed to drive back into Chicago for a rehearsal) I was doing my best to have her out the door before 3:30.

We'd spent the late morning and early afternoon doing several Burlesque Appropriate Pictures.

Lingerie

Stockings

Garter Belt

Boudoir Poses

As we were ending the day … I wanted something a bit more “pared down”. A style of pictures and storytelling that essentially adhered to the concept of K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid).

So I asked Camile to dress herself in high heels, pantyhose and a very form fitting mini dress (actually a size medium women's spandex tank top). I then walked the girl to a very sparse area of the room and asked her to simply give me about two or three minutes of silly and flirtatious dance motion.

I focused on her general location … Put my camera into Auto Shoot …. And then told Camile to have at it.

The only lighting in the room was the sunshine streaming through the large window about twenty feet behind me. Because of this, the pictures appear a bit softer than they would have looked if I'd photographed Camile in a brighter location. But I think the softness actually adds a nice touch.

There is also a slight degree of graininess on the walls that could easily be confused with camera noise (which often occurs when a camera has been adjusted to take pictures in dim lighting). Most of this distortion is actually due to the stippled nature of the plaster board behind her.

If I'd taken a bit more time, I might have achieved a result which would have been more appealing to the “Photo Purists” of this world. But doing it my crazy way, I managed to allow the girl to change her clothes ... Walk her to her car and hug her goodbye … And watch her drive away when the time on my cell phone was reading as 3:17.

I'm happy with this set of pictures. I hope you've enjoyed them also.

At Stripperfest, you competed in both Queen of the Stage and Queen of the Pole. Which of those two styles of performing was your "First Love"?

Vayda Kiss::

At that competition, it was Queen of the Pole.

Generally speaking … Pole is how I started and I put everything I have into it.

I also do the stage competitions, because I really want to challenge myself. Can I kick my performance skills up a notch or two?

Travis Clemmons:

How much preparatory work goes into getting ready for a 2 night event like that one?

Vayda Kiss:

Physically, I'm always working out. So I'm always prepping in that sense. And that part of prepping is balanced by hot baths with epsom salts.

I usually have my music chosen 2 weeks prior (or more). But my music choice can occasionally change a day or two before the competition. Sometimes it will change that very day. A lot of it depends on my mood or maybe I hear something new and I know I absolutely have to use that.

If I have the time to spend, I'll allow myself 3 or 4 days to pick and choose the costumes.

Travis Clemmons:

Besides Stripperfest 12 ... What competitions have you been in?

Vayda Kiss:

Quite a few.

My first Skindustry contest was Stripperpalooza in 2011.

Other than that, I won Midwest regional Pole Champ to qualify for the Miss Pole Champ USA finals in 2011, which I placed 1st in!

Clearwater Pole Champ in 2012.

Miss Pole Champ Florida and Spacecoast Pole Champ held at bare assets in melbourne florida(fun comp!)

I was in the Miss Pole Champ 2013 competition and won best tricks

And the Northeast Pennsylvania comp this year and placed 1st in that.

Competitions are nerve wracking but challenging and FUN!

Its a great way to meet people with passion and that share interests with me but are different. I love Love LOVE it!

Travis Clemmons:

How long have you been in the business?

Vayda Kiss:

For 7 years!

Its addicting. lol

If I quit ... I'd still rock stripper heels!

They'll have to pry those off of my cold dead feet.

Travis Clemmons:

(Chuckle)

And how long did it take you to become a "Featured Dancer"?

Vayda Kiss:

I became a feature because of winning Miss Pole Champ USA! I never saw myself doing that but the more time goes on and the more bookings I get ..... the more comfortable I get and I love it more with every place I go!

Travis Clemmons:

If we had the opportunity to spend a couple of days together. And the purpose was to give me three opportunities to photograph you.

In a Home Setting

In a Studio

Out and about

Which version of Vayda Kiss: would be seen in each set of photographs?

Vayda Kiss:

Quiet peaceful Vayda, at home. I'm usually cuddled up with my pup reading a good book or watching hulu. lol.

Studio ... I would probably just like to listen to my favorite songs and allow you to photograph the moods they put me through.

Out and about is usually to get coffee or ht the salad bar or walk my dog and I'm home again. So those are the kinds of pictures you'd get in that setting.

Travis Clemmons:

And what style of dress up -- or glamor --- or contentment would you want each set of pictures to reveal?

Vayda Kiss:

Home - just a t-shirt and some pretty panties. lol

Studio - athletic

Out and about - I'm almost always in heels (Because I'm short - so I love my heels)

(wink)

Travis Clemmons:

How tall are you?

Vayda Kiss:

5'1" and 3\4

But good things come in small packages, Travis!

Travis Clemmons:

And it makes it much easier for you to sit on a gentleman's knee

Vayda Kiss:

I guess it does. I still go visit Santa at Christmas time.

lol

Just kidding.

Travis Clemmons:

I've heard that mall has had the same Santa for about 6 years now. They don't even have to pay him any longer.

Vayda Kiss:

Aww ... How nice of him to donate his time like that (smile).

Travis Clemmons:

And continuing with the basic "Girl Watcher" questions.

Eye Color?

Vayda Kiss:

Blue. But oddly hazel on the occasional day.

Travis Clemmons:

You have beautifully black hair ... But I've seen pictures of you as blond. What is the natural color for you?

Vayda Kiss:

Not sure anymore. lol

I'm a natural blonde. My mother scolded me for dying my hair dark brown. But I like it here on the dark side !

Travis Clemmons:

I personally enjoy it when a pretty girl's hair color matches her soul

Vayda Kiss:

Are you saying I have a dark soul, Travis?

Is this because of the leather and sub and dom books I read?

Because ... Once you look past those, you'll see I'm just a softy who loves romance.

Travis Clemmons:

I am saying it because the joke is that it is the "evil women" that I find beautiful (wink)

I find you beautiful ... So something in you has to be delightfully evil

Vayda Kiss:

I'm a woman.

I think that's enough evil in itself ... No?

lol

Travis Clemmons:

Absolutely agree

And if I were going dress shopping for a certain lovely evil woman ... What are your measurements?

Vayda Kiss:

I honestly don't even know, I'm small or extra small.

If I see something I think looks cool - I WILL make it work.

lol

My rings size is a 6 that's all anyone needs to know

Travis Clemmons:

Taking a moment to jump back to the types of stories you enjoy reading.

You've said that you have a fairly strong enjoyment of books and movies that fall into the same category as 50 shades.

Vayda Kiss:

Yes, Yes and Yes!

hahahah

I love my books

But Anne Rice scares me

Travis Clemmons:

Anne Rice in general?

Or just her Vampire stuff

Vayda Kiss:

No. Not the vampire stuff.

I was very put off by the Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. Supposedly, if you like 50 Shades then you'd like that series.

It was totally not a good one for me.

Travis Clemmons:

I couldn't get into the Beauty series. But the wife and I would strongly recommend Exit To Eden. Good drama. Hilarious in certain places. And marvelous character development.

Vayda Kiss:

Ill keep that one in mind. I'm almost out of books

Beautiful Bastard is another good one.

Travis Clemmons:

I'll have to look that one up.

Turning to a different direction ...

Could you tell me a bit about your heritage and family background?

Vayda Kiss:

English and Welsh. My grandmother was Welsh hence my mother and I take after her petite size and my father was English

Or Welch? Not even sure if I spelled that right, Grammy would be ashamed.

lol

Travis Clemmons:

Welsh is correct for the nationality.

Welch means you're drinking Grape Juice

Vayda Kiss:

I favor pineapple or white grape

When I was little we used to have wine made from the grapevines in the back yard

I never got to drink any of it

Travis Clemmons:

If I took you out to a nice restaurant ... And you could have any type of alcoholic drink you could think of ... What would be the top 2 choices

Vayda Kiss:

I don't drink at all anymore. But if I were drinking - Moscato or Vodka.

I like my wine white and my liquor clear. lol

Travis Clemmons:

Pretend that I've won an award for erotic fiction. You're my date for the evening. We're in Vegas for the Ceremony and you want all eyes to be on you and me.

How are you going to do your outfit and hair and makeup?

Vayda Kiss:

(1) I'd concentrate on my eye makeup. (2) Wear a red dress and some killer red or black heels. (3) Shiny earrings and have my hair pinned up. And I'd carry a small clutch purse so I could easily free one hand to give the Miss America Wave to our adoring public.

hahahah

Travis Clemmons:

How high would the heels be?

Vayda Kiss:

5 inches

Travis Clemmons:

Would that be just the heel? Or would there be a bit of platform involved?

Vayda Kiss:

Small platform. Maybe an inch.

Travis Clemmons:

If I were going to buy a pair of heels for you ... What should I be looking for?

Vayda Kiss:

I like a thin heel. Nothing clunky

Travis Clemmons:

I like a Stiletto kind of gal

Vayda Kiss:

Heck yea!

And I don't like the shoes with the long point in the front

Travis Clemmons:

Shoe size?

Vayda Kiss:

Travis Clemmons:

I've noticed that yo have a touch of body art ... But you haven't gone really heavy into it.

What have you had done? And why?

Vayda Kiss:

I'm a symbol person. I really get into symbols and when I find one with a meaning that touches me, I want to mark myself with it.

My lower back is sanskrit and means "watched over". My mother studied Hebrew so she wasn't upset about it.

(first one I bought myself - lol).

My upper middle back is a Japanese symbol, featured in the show Heroes and means 'ability, strength, and power' - or 'gifted'.

(and before you ask which hero I am.......I'm the invincible cheerleader of course !)

What's on my shoulder blades is Chinese and they mean 'heart'(the same side as my heart) and 'spirit'. On my wrist is my newest one - "R.I.P T.B."

Travis Clemmons:

Have you considered having more tattooing done? Possibly a piercing or two?

Vayda Kiss:

I'm sure the day will come I will want 'just one more' lol but I'm content right now

I don't want to go too crazy with them

Travis Clemmons:

You often perform in lingerie and stockings on stage.

Is that mainly a professional thing? Or does any of this translate into your day to day or personal life in any way?

Vayda Kiss:

I actually don't all that much. You just happened to see me do a couple of sets where stockings incorporated in quite nicely.

I'm a Pole girl. So if I do wear stockings, they are mesh like you saw. Otherwise, I dance with my legs pretty much bare.

The bedroom wear remains a secret.

A Very Dark Secret!

lol

Travis Clemmons:

If you were in a high end professional career that required you to be "Top Notch all the time ...

Hosiery -- Stilettos -- Business outfit that needed an appropriately short skirt or dress -- Hair and makeup always done to the Nines

Could you thrive on that?

Or would it become a Brain Drain after a few weeks or months?

Vayda Kiss:

Well if you think about it ... Featuring does require those things.

I consider it to be high end and professional, and if I want to I can rock a sexy business suit (what guy doesn't love that). But as far as presentation, it does require you to be very top notch. Hair and make up done - photograph ready (if you will), and its fun and I do thrive on it.

But I also appreciate and thrive on down time, personal and relaxing time. Its a requirement to balance myself out.

Travis Clemmons:

And I sincerely appreciate your point of view on that.

But I meant the question to mostly refer to an 8 to 6 / Monday to Friday kind of thing.

Office work and corporate meetings and that sort of stuff.

Would that affect your answer any?

Vayda Kiss:

No. I think I would thrive on that very much. I like the business and attire and I like working with my brain.

Travis Clemmons:

If you accidentally learned that I was going to give you a slightly intimate ... But not overly expensive gift ... Something in the range or 50 to 100 dollars ...

As you came to the door to greet me ... What would you secretly be hoping for?

Vayda Kiss:

Jewelry or perfume.

Travis Clemmons:

Back to subject of Pole Performing ... You seem to go a bit "against the grain" in the way you do your Pole Dance act. You move past the basic booty shorts and bikini top style and take it up a notch or two.

Include a bit of an outfit.

Do a bit of stripping and stage dancing.

How did this come about?

Vayda Kiss:

I don't know that there's an exact "how". It's just how I am.

Pole dancing = Sexy Tasteful Tease.

Throw in some sequins and BAM!

Oh and HEELS!

Travis Clemmons:

And do you ever wonder or fear (at a competition) that you might be going a bit too far? That some Judge will ding you because you've strayed too much from Pole Dancing?

Vayda Kiss:

Not at all. All of what I do IS Pole Dancing, Travis. Part of my challenge to myself during a Pole Competition is 'how long can I stay up without touching the floor', during a stage category I will do both yes because stage is a stage performance. To me every performance is about Pole. I'm trying to train myself to be good at both, but my origin is the Pole.

Travis Clemmons:

In the clubs and the Stage Competitions ... There's a lot of silly innocent flirting going on between many of the dancers. Mainly as a way of building friendships and working off stress.

There also appears to be to be a solid minority of them who would welcome something a bit more intimate with another girl if the opportunity presented itself.

How do you navigate through all of this?

Vayda Kiss:

I can be very flirty on stage. It's a part of the performance and the business. If I don't give the guys and girls in the audience a reason to appreciate what they're seeing, I'm not earning money for myself or for the club.

When it comes to the girls I'm working around ... I always play nice but it doesn't go any farther than that. Most of the girls are very smart about that sort of thing. They usually can tell when someone is just engaging in silly flirting, to help deal with the hectic nature of putting on the show, and isn't really looking for more.

Travis Clemmons:

Have you ever had an instance where the "Light Bulb" sort of goes off above some girl's head as she realizes that you'd like to be a girl friend but not a Girl Friend?

Vayda Kiss:

I'm not saying that I've never been involved in a light bulb moment ... Just not on that type of issue.

When I travel and I'm just meeting people and establishing new relationships with people ... I'm playful but always professional. And I've never felt that vibe or had the awkward light bulb moment with anyone. I think they respect the distance I keep even though I am being a bit silly and playful.

Travis Clemmons:

Gotcha.

You and I have talked a bit about "silly backhanded complements".

Like someone referring you you as a "wicked little vixen" or that sort of thing. When do you think these are appropriate?

Vayda Kiss:

Always!

Just not in church!

lol

Travis Clemmons:

I agree on that (wink)

But what types of words or statements do you consider as having "gone too far"?

Vayda Kiss:

I joke around with my friends and that's an unspoken thing we all share, the fact that we call each other names. so when someone yells hussy across the room I raise my hand and laugh. I think it's not so much what is said but how. And who it is coming from.

Travis Clemmons:

Okay.

If we're in a dating relationship ... How much would you be prone to tweak your style to help it be what I like?

The clothing you wear when we're together.

Trying foods or movies that I like.

That sort of thing.

Vayda Kiss:

Well if we were together, I would think it is because you already like my style.

So honestly, I wouldn't change a thing!

lol

Travis Clemmons:

( chuckle )

Vayda Kiss:

But yes ... I am always open to new things. So if there was something someone I was dating wanted me to try ... 9 out of 10 I probably would.

Travis Clemmons:

Well ... There's a difference between changing and accommodating. Like if I wanted you generally wear skirts and dresses, instead of jeans.

I think it's okay to do a bit of bargaining. To say that you'll do that if I'll wash and wax your car once a week.

Vayda Kiss:

Well I already enjoy dresses and HEELS.

Travis Clemmons:

Even when it's a breezy July day and I've got you playing Mini Golf ?

(evil grin)

Vayda Kiss:

Heck yeah!

I want to make sure you're always eager to wash and wax my car.

Travis Clemmons:

(chuckle)

How long have you been dancing professionally?

Vayda Kiss:

I've been a featured showgirl since 2011.

But I've been dancing since 2006 and competing since 2009.

Travis Clemmons:

Have you taken any college courses or done anything like that?

Vayda Kiss:

I have taken about a year of college courses.

Basically ... I graduated high school did some traveling. About 3 years later, I started school full time. Then went back and forth from full time to part time to full time and so on.

Then it was ... Okay, I'll take this business class.

And then I opened my own Pole dancing studio.

Travis Clemmons:

And do you still own and run a studio?

Vayda Kiss:

Not anymore. After I won Miss Pole Champ USA, that landed me a contract with A-List Features and I closed the shop and moved to Florida for a while.

Having the business was great but it was a LOT of work.

I really like it when I'm just dancing. It's enjoyment at its best. I make good money and I don't have the stress that comes with trying to run a business.

Travis Clemmons:

And where would you hope to be business wise in like 10 years?

20?

30?

Vayda Kiss:

Honestly, I don't know. I just know I'm going to keep moving in the fitness direction of things.

While I'm not anywhere near done with "Dancing" ... In the near future, I do plan on getting a certification to be a personal fitness trainer. And I would like to get more involved in yoga. And we shall see what other kinds of opportunities (if any) present themselves

Travis Clemmons:

What advice would you give to a young woman who was asking about trying something like Stripping or Pole Dancing as a profession? (Either teaching or Performing)

Vayda Kiss:

Follow your gut. Your heart can be misleading but your gut knows.

And if stripping is in the curiosity pot then go ahead and stir it. Just keep your head right, stay away from needless drama, concentrate on making money without selling your soul, save that money, and conquer the game.

If teaching Pole is something you want to do, then by all means be patient and encouraging when it comes to doing so. Sometimes things are hard for people to learn but the key is to never give up.

Travis Clemmons:

How would you define needless drama?

Vayda Kiss:

Being one of the girls who talks behind other girl's backs. That sort of thing.

There are times when you really need to express a legitimate complaint. But don't be one of those who will just gossip - gossip - gossip.

Travis Clemmons:

Anything else you'd like to tell the readers? Any points I might have missed that you'd like to touch on?

Vayda Kiss:

Hmmm ... Did i mention my addiction to HEELS?

lol

Travis Clemmons:

Only 12 or 13 times (wink)

Vayda Kiss:

(chuckling)

Travis Clemmons:

Do you possibly want to promote an upcoming event or do a bit to promote an agency or club you work with?

Vayda Kiss:

Definately!

I book through A-List and Continental Features out of St. Petersburg Florida. So if anyone would like to have me ... That would be who you'd want to contact.

I'll be at Stripperpalooza in Kalamazoo in May, and would love all the support I can get.

And in June, for those on the west coast I will be featuring at the Crazy Horse in San Fransisco.

Follow me on FB, Twitter, and Instagram for updates.

And check out my spotlight on ModelsandMMA.com!

Travis Clemmons:

And now it's time to hug you goodbye and thank you for sharing a bit of interview time with me.

Vayda Kiss:

You are welcome.

And did I remember to mention that I really love Stiletto Heels?

The best Girlfriend I've Never Had

2015-04-27T17:12:38Z

( Originally published on Blogger 01-29-2014 )

In the Summer of 2000, I'd recently been drug through a divorce.

While I wasn't the one who'd pushed the issue and filed the papers ... I also wasn't the one who'd spent the previous four years being loving and attentive and devoted while the other half of the partnership had been stuck in a downward spiral.

And just as I was beginning the process of leaving that soul sucking job and taking other measures to turn my life around ... Cally had come to the conclusion that I'd never be able to turn things around. And so she left.

Eighteen months later, just as I was getting my life back to something resembling normal, my mother unexpectedly died. Which meant that I found myself going right into another several months of emotional confusion.

In the middle of all of this, I'd wound up establishing an odd friendship with a Dancer by the name of Sondra Saxon. She was working at the Deja Vu in Lexington Kentucky. And unlike most of the other girls, she quickly saw that a part of me was broken and she took the time to become a small part of the fix. By taking the time to actually be my friend.

Sondra could see that what I most needed was to simply sit at my table and watch the stage. Just get lost in what was taking place up there.

She'd come by my table. I'd buy her a drink. And we'd sit there and talk about the dancers for a few minutes.

What each girl was doing right and wrong.

What changes we'd like to see a girl make to her outfit.

And she made sure to spread the word to all the other Dancers that they weren't supposed to hustle me. If they did ... They'd wind up having a problem with her.

Just go to his table.

If he finds you interesting, he'll offer to buy you a drink.

Spend a few minutes talking with him about the girl on stage. And if he really wants a Table Dance or a Couch Dance ... He'll ask you for it.

And if he doesn't ask for a dance ... Just finish your drink and give him a hug and then move on.

Between 2000 and 2003 ... Sondra clearly understood that I had a bit of money ... And that I desperately needed a shoulder to lean on ... And it would have been very easy for some pretty little Vixen to sink her claws into me and drain away a lot of cash.

And she never allowed that to happen.

Sondra and I wound up becoming friends on My Space and Facebook.

We talked about a lot of the things that were going on in my life and her life.

And she often joked with me that I was the best boyfriend she'd never had.

After I'd met and married K ... She and Sondra would occasionally conspire against me. And Sondra once confided in K that there had been at least a half dozen times when she was about 2 molecules away from asking me out. But she always talked herself out of it because she didn't want to do anything that might possibly screw up the friendship she had with me.

That was what she most wanted from me.

That was what she was best able to give back.

So I dedicate this article to anyone who has ever had the privilege of knowing Sondra Saxon / Lisa Lowry.

The Absolute Best Girlfriend I Have Never Had.

Pole Dancer Interview: Valerie mae

2015-03-25T01:59:02Z

( Originally published on Blogger 01-14-2014 )

Freeze Clemmons!

I'm Special Agent Natasha Romanoff of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Are we going to conduct this interrogation in a civilized manner?

Or do I have to ZAP you with my Phone LASER?

Travis:

At dance competitions, you bill yourself as Mariah. What are the origins of that moniker?

Vãlërîë Mãë

That was my dancer name when I first started so I kept it. Everyone used to say I looked like Mariah Carey.

Travis:

Is there any kind of strong line of distinction between the Valerie and Mariah?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Mariah is like my alter ego. I can do whatever as Mariah. I'm like superwoman. Valerie is my "professional" self.

Travis:

And is Valerie a bit more shy or reserved?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I wouldn't say shy. But reserved yes. More like careful.

Travis:

How did you get into Pole Fitness and Pole Dancing?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I started stripping when I was 18 years old and it just wasn't my thing. I found miss pole and it was meant to be.

Travis:

And how does the family feel about you being a Pole Instructor and Performer?

Vãlërîë Mãë

My mom is my biggest fan. She was at the Stripperpalooza when I placed first and she cried. She tells everyone about it. I'm very Grateful and fortunate.

Travis:

Based on your comment about stripping ... Should I take it that you wouldn't want to do the type of Stage Work that Ladies like Vayda Kiss, Artemis Moon and Phoenix Phires are doing?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I think that they're features . Which in my mind, is like an ultimate stripper. The cream of the crop. If I had the charisma that those ladies have on stage, hell yeah I'd do more stage but I'm a poler. That's what makes me happy.

Travis:

Makes sense.

So let's move on to the basic "Girl Watcher" questions.

How tall are you?

Vãlërîë Mãë

5' 4" in my bare feet. 6'0" to 6'1" in my heels.

Travis:

And if I were going to buy a pair of high heels for you ... What should I be looking for?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Black 8" to 9" Pleasers.

Travis:

Pleasers?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Yeah.

Pleasers: The typical eye catching stiletto every woman should have in her closet ;-)

Travis:

Gotcha ... As in "Pleasing the one you're with"

Vãlërîë Mãë

Exactlyyyyy

There's a brand or two that uses some variation of that name. And some girls just refer to any shoe of that style as a "Pleaser".

Travis:

In defining the types of shoes that would qualify as "Pleasers" ...

Pumps?

Boots?

Some spike heeled sandals?

Or does more than one of these styles qualify for that definition?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Pleasers can be all types of styles and colors. Some of the boots are pretty wicked.

Travis:

And in that 8" to 9" of high heel ... How much would usually be caused by the platform?

Vãlërîë Mãë

In an 8" to 9" heel, roughly 4" would be the platform and the rest would be the way the shoe turns my ankle.

Travis:

And are you more of a bare leg kind of gal? Or do you feel that the right hosiery can really help an outfit on certain occasions?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I do like stockings on some women in certain settings. However, I need my skin to stick to the pole so it's not realistic for me to wear them while performing.

Travis:

Completely Understood.

Several girls have told me that (from a style standpoint) one of the disadvantages of pole performing is that you can't do as much dressing up on stage. That you basically have to do the booty shorts and the bikini top and maybe some high heels.

How do you work your outfits around that ... To get the maximum "Oh Yeah" factor from the audience?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I have been accessorizing my outfits since I started dancing. I love ankle cuffs ... Really like my ankles and feel naked it I don't have something on them. Hair and makeup are also super important In my mind as well. It's puts the whole package together.

Travis:

One of the first things my wife and I noticed about you was those ankle cuffs. How did those make their way into your costume wardrobe?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I used to wear leg warmers religiously. They were just too bulky so I started playing with new ideas and whaaaalaaa! Mariah's ankle cuffs were born!! Lol

Travis:

At the Science Fiction and FantasyConventions ... I met a lovely girl who was the manager and stage babe for an alternative rock band. At the Cons ... She was always wearing fairly large and ornate angels wings. When someone asked her about them in an interview ... She said "I honestly feel naked if I'm in public and I don't have them on"

Vãlërîë Mãë

Yes! Exactly. I feel like I'm missing a part of me if I don't have my ankle cuffs on.

Travis:

And from a personal vs dancing standpoint ... How do you go about picking things like undies and lingerie?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Personally I love Victoria's Secret! (What woman doesn't?)

For dancing I am always in black booty shorts. Nothing fancy.

Travis:

And if I were going dress shopping ... What are your measurements?

Vãlërîë Mãë

32 - 26 - 36

Travis:

Eye Color?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Brown.

Travis:

If I asked you to be ready for a casual dinner (pizza / burgers / wings / or whatever) and a movie. What style should I expect to see when you open your front door and say hello?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I'm a jeans and hoodie type if girl. I do like to get dressed up once and awhile for a nice night.

Travis:

And if we were doing that dress up date ... Fancy dinner and then a cabaret show or maybe a cocktail party?

Vãlërîë Mãë

A black dress and heels. Curly hair and very red lips.

Travis:

Ever do the false eyelash thing?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Yes.

I love long false lashes but they're bad for your natural lashes so I usually try to avoid them.

Travis:

So ... Maybe for a really fancy event but mostly stay away from them?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Yes.

Sometimes I throw them on when I want to feel elegant.

Travis:

Trust me ... You have a touch of natural elegance My wife and I agree on that.

Vãlërîë Mãë

Thank you.

Travis:

As best I've been able to determine ... I'm about 3/8 Cherokee. The rest is Welsh, English and French.

Could you tell me a bit about your background?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I'm mostly Norwegian and German. And I'm about 1/4 Cree.

Travis:

Back in September, when I first met you, your skin appeared largely virgin and untouched. Since then, one of your arms appears to have had a very torrid love affair with a tattoo needle. What has brought all of that about?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I've always been in love with the art of tattoo. I'd already had my lower back and thigh done when we last saw each other.

I've always wanted a sleeve and finally had the time to do one on my right arm.

Travis:

Do you plan on having illustrations done on any other body areas? The legs? Maybe a bit more on the back?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I do.

I plan on adding into my original pieces.

Travis:

And how is the Cree part of your heritage involved in the pictures and patterns you are having done?

Vãlërîë Mãë

It's the main focal point.

I love that I come from a Native American background and I love the art. It was only right to add it to my temple.

Travis:

And how do you define your body as "your temple"?

Vãlërîë Mãë

My body is a temple in that I was given this body and I plan on protecting it. I eat clean and exercise to help maintain my lifestyle. I choose to decorate my temple with my heritage, ideas and dreams.

Travis:

And do you plan in doing all tattoos in black and flesh tone? Or will a bit of color sneak in here or there?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Black and white. I don't plan on adding any color

Travis:

And if we were dating ... And I offered to pay for a special tattoo somewhere (as something like a birthday present) ... About how big would it be and about how much would it cost me?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I love big pieces. Seeing as I'm almost done with my right sleeve, I'd start adding onto some other part. It's $100/hr and I usually sit for around 3hours. So roughly $300.

Travis:

So ... You'd be a "moderately expensive" sugar baby?

Vãlërîë Mãë

Haha yes!

There is a lot of money pumped Into my skin.

( And even though we're not dating, my birthday is in two months and the other arm is feeling a bit naked - wink wink)

LOL

Travis:

(chuckle)

Have you been conferring with Phoenix Phires?

Cause she throws that "even though we're not dating" bit of teasing at me from time to time ;-)

Vãlërîë Mãë

No LOL. We don't talk at all. Just coincidence.

( wink wink )

Travis:

(snickering)

If "0" equals Total Tom Boy and "100" equals Total Sugar Baby ... Where do you think Valerie is on the number line?

And does your place on that line ever rise or lower ... Depending on the occasion or your mood?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I'd say valerie stays around 25. The girl loves guns and cars. But she isn't afraid to get pretty once and awhile.

Mariah is at least an 85. A complete girly girl who's in love with makeup and rainbows and maybe a unicorn or two.

Travis:

A lot of dancers, who are tattooed, have also had cosmetic surgery. Have you considered that in any way?

I had debated getting implants, but I was given this body and I have realized I'm happy with what I have.

Travis:

At the Dance Classes and the Stage Competitions ... There's a lot of silly innocent flirting going on between many of the dancers. Mainly as a way of building friendships and working off stress.

Then there also appears to be to be a solid minority of them who would welcome something a bit more intimate with another girl if the opportunity presented itself.

How do you navigate through all of this?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I've never been hit on! I'd probably be like WTF!

LOL

I love being a woman because we can get away with the meaningless girly flirting. I truly believe it's pretty much all in fun.

Travis:

You're in your early 20s.

Have you taken any college courses? Or was it pretty much a case of leaving high school and going straight into the working world?

Vãlërîë Mãë

I began working my senior year in high school. I hope once my life slows down some to go back to school.

Travis:

And where would you hope to be business wise in like 10 years? 20? 30?

Vãlërîë Mãë

In 10 years I should have my own pole studio, graduated from collage, and no kids.

20 years I should have 10+ studios all over USA.

And in 30 years, I hope to be retired and living somewhere warm and still hopefully able to pole.

Travis:

Any additional thoughts on where you'd like the personal part of your life to head?

Vãlërîë Mãë

No. That about sums it up.

Travis:

What advice would you give to a young woman who was asking about trying something like Pole Dancing as a profession? (Either teaching or Performing)

Vãlërîë Mãë

I would urge them to take a pole dance class or two. It is crucial to the safety of the dancer.

Travis:

And is physical conditioning a bit more important than many people initially believe?

Vãlërîë Mãë

It's important to learn but you don't have to be like that when you start.

At Miss Pole we start everyone at the beginning. Where to place your hands and feet. How to correctly execute a spin.

Then we build the strength needed to progress further.

But there's no major physical conditioning prerequisite before you begin learning how to pole. Just that you learn how to properly do the moves and care for your body.

Travis:

Okay ... Anything else you'd like to tell the readers? Any points I might have missed that you'd like to touch on?

Do you possibly want to promote an upcoming event or the studio you work at?
