Did you know it took me over 3 years to get this trick (I was surprised I could do it for the shoot as I haven’t been able to train it for over a year due to a non pole related injury, but that’s another story)
-
Why? I hear you ask, some tricks do take that long for some people but that’s not my why, my why was trying to learn something to soon that my body at the time was just not ready for, I started to train this trick back in 2012 after only 2 years of pole and although that may be ok for some, for the majority including me it’s just to soon, I didn’t have the shoulder or high level of core strength to execute this move, I ended up doing a lot of off the pole conditioning to achieve this if started when I was truly ready it would have taken around 4-6 months
-
The point of my post! Don’t run before you can walk! Build your basics, make sure you tick off the pre requisites, they are there for a reason and the big one, don’t compare yourself to others you have no idea what background some has, there body composition or external factors that may or may not effect training, embrace your own journey and focus on you, don’t let social media get you down and train at your own pace

It’s been a long while since I posted a photo over a reel, primarily because insta usually bans or blocks my pics for being inappropriate (they are not) it’s not worth the hag sometimes and the only thing that bothers me is the same conditions are not applied to men posting similar pics 🙄
-
So here’s a pic in one of my fantastic jump suits from
-
Could I be wearing any more clothes instagram ? 😂

Throwing it back to the shreds of prep to break up the grid from all the reels

Do I look like this now? Hell no! I have to diet to extreme levels and my food is super low and my output super high so I don’t hold this condition despite preferring how I look here plus I certainly wouldn’t have any friends if I did im a pure delight at this level of lean

Do we have ever stop and wonder why men can post in next to no clothing but women can’t? Where everything a women posts if there’s skin the AI removes it for breaching the guidelines but men can do as these please, I genially don’t understand the double standards, if it’s not ok for a women to show her back it shouldn’t be ok for a man,
-
We are going backwards in life, everything is seen as offensive or inappropriate without actually looking at the image itself
-
So instagram am I wearing enough clothing today?
-

-

I don’t generally put filters on my photos as that’s what you pay a photographer to do, but I have darkened this one in the hopes instagram deems it acceptable
-
IG removed my last post but it’s still up on my fb page - go figure it’s the same company, I do wonder what it is about the back that so offensive but hey ho

More back muscle sp*m for todays installment on instagram
-

Don’t post many pole pics these days, most of my shoots are now off the pole as I have done so many
-
Liked this simple hold, I do think the more simple or beginner end moves are often the best in photos
-

Can’t post reels (it uploads to 86% then gives up the ghost) so here’s a picture from one of my many shoots with
-

Once upon a time instagram was about posting beautiful images then along came TikTok and insta then released reels to compete
-
I have both platforms and clapper with instagram being my smallest account (tt 15k and clapper 49k) and I miss seeing images on ig mostly because those images never make my for you page I have to look for them
-
So here’s an image of me to break up the reels on my page ❤️
-

Handstands!! I miss handstands and cannot wait to train them once my arm is better
-
Note: n!pples removed to hopefully be allowed the picture to remain up so many get taken down for the silliest of reasons
-

Happy ❤️ it’s been a while since I did one of these
-
One from my last shoot with and back in July
-

My top 9 as decided me, pretty much none of these moments (bar 2) were posted to social media of any kind
-
I’m not a big personal post poster! I post akot of pics and vids centered around my bodybuilding, pole or forces journey in general but the personal posts stay just that personal!
-
Happy new you my beautiful followers
-

My top 9 of 2023 according to likes and views on instagram, an odd concept for a way to value what are top events for a person but hey ho I jumped on the trend
-

Couldn’t decide on which embalmer Funko figure to choose, getting it to the my hair back was hard work, yet it had no problem putting a trocar in my hand but I struggled to get my dancer one to accept the pole by the ai 😂
-
So for those who don’t know I’m an embalmer in the day time, which figure suits me best
-

Me as a Funko pop doll, had way to much fun making this image wish I could buy one, inspired by

-
Happy Sunday evening my beautiful followers
-

Who doesn’t love a beautiful set of underwear
-

-

Happy love

Next shoot may 2024

Last of the pumpkin patch sp*m
-
I like being weird and embarrassing who I’m with in public, being normal is overrated
-

Finally able to handstand after 3 months! After injuring my coracobrachialis in July I have not been able to train my shoulders, at the peak of this I couldn’t put on my back pack or a coat or jacket without pain and difficulty
-
It’s been a frustrating few months as I can’t train push movements and pole has been difficult to teach
-
I’m nearly there now and i can pole in moderation, some movements are ok for me to train and hopefully by Christmas I’ll be rehabbing my shoulders back to full strength
-
Being injured is pants, taking a step back to fully recover is wise even if it’s mentally painful it’s necessary
-

Because I’m not normal

Swoosh your skirt Thursday

Brace yourself for the spam

One from my shoot back in June

Kind of lunge shaped, we all know I love a lunge
-

Trying to make my skirt and the hoop behave under water was challenging this was an unintentional shot as my skirt kept covering my face
