It's over

It's been stressful & tiring, all the rehearsals, preparation, planning, organising. BUT so so satisfying and so much fun.

Can't wait to post all the pictures and videos to show you all..............for now i just need to rest and catch up on OTHER work.

But before i log off, i wanna whine......about some rich people.

The day after i performed at this event, I received another call from someone who attended the event. She's planning a birthday party for her hubby. I don't get it, she has the money to throw a surprise party for him at Four Seasons with over 200 people but has been haggling with me over some small amount, over 12 emails, over a 3-day span.Think I'll just ignore her for a while.

Super Import Nights Updated schedule

Needless to say the, pole-formers were a big hit with the audience made up of mainly avid photographers some armed with some really serious SLR cameras. When load our videos you will know what i mean by the incessant flashes.

Professional vs fanatical

The entire choreography was worked out on a static pole. It is a beautiful piece I couldn't wait til the part of the evening where i can show it off. It was meant to be a duo piece for the next few night's performances but I wanted to experience performing it alone tonight.

The truth is I had waited the whole night for this one piece. Tonight I was hired by someone from the elite group to entertain only 23 guests with 1. belly dancing, 2. lounge singing (live with piano) and 3. Pole dancing. So you can imagine how confident I was to assume role #3, it was all in a night of surprises for the birthday lady.

But just as I was changing outfit to take on role #3, I saw the 2 guys struggling for a whole 8-min to lock my pole into static.......they kept turning the pole, the nut, the pole, the nut, but nothing would lock it in place....i knew they panicked without realising the weird sight of 2 grown men, bending down trying to fix it for a whole 8-10mins in full view of the 23 guests...I was uber frustrated, i mumbled some expletives and told them to just leave it, I would do a spinny. I wasn't sure whether it was the music that drowned me out or they chose to defy my order...they were still at it for another few minutes until I gave another stern warning.

They finally heeded my order. The music started and my heart palpitated, I didn't know what would be the outcome. I went on to perform, changing almost the entire choreography, doing whatever came to my mind. I was so weary I would end up flinging myself off the pole and landing on some expensive vases or antiques. Thankfully that did not happen, and although I was awfully sure some of the guests could not tell the difference, I was utterly utterly disappointed.

I was disappointed the party had not ended they way I had planned or wanted, I was disappointed that guys being guys, they always think they knew it all...when u want affirnation that they know, they always reply "easy", I was disappointed they did not feel my disappointment, they did not share how important this gig was to me. I was disapponited that I have had so much anxiety attacks lately, and they had to add on more..

In my angst, Spider friend reminded me that I should not have risked my safety to deliver. Ah well, I started performing pole after learning my first invert the night before, what do u expect?
