Now Every Girl Can Be a Pole Dancer
When I heard about this I thought it was a joke, but sadly, I was mistaken.
With fans like Carmen Electra, Kylie Minogue, the Spice Girls and Pussycat Dolls, The Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit is a stripper pole that you can put in your home and practice how to be a real, live stripper! You know, before your 18th birthday when you can legally go give men their jollies and this way, you will already be experienced!
With their booklet of dance moves, a garter and 100 peekaboo dance dollars to reenact the real thing, this stripper pole, they claim, is a sure fire way to spice things up the bedroom or what I found a little strange…to liven up a friend’s party. I’m sorry, but who wants to go to a party where everyone gets together and dance on a stripper pole?
Now what I find truly amazing is that the makers of the Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit recently announced that they are seeking a partner to help license their concept to Nintendo and making their pole dancing kit, which cannot support your full body weight and looks incredibly dangerous, as a game for the Wii.

Take Me Now Here: The Commercial Sex Industry and Feminism
I have very briefly touched upon my thoughts on the commercial sex industry here and basically all posts I have written on the topic have been quite popular versus the other subjects I have written about.
With the attention those posts have received and after talking to a friend of mine who runs Take Me Nowhere, a great site that touches upon some taboo subjects such as marijuana, law reform, Wicca, Paganism, The Occult and also some personal tidbits thrown in there for the hell of it, we decided that while she gives the majority of conservatives quite a bit to get pissed off about already, why not throw some sex into the mix?
And so starting yesterday, I will be writing a section on the commercial sex industry, everything revolving around the sex industry and I also plan on writing a bit about feminist-friendly sex and (gasp!) feminist-friendly sex toys and stores! I have a lot of ideas, so check out my section, Take Me Now Here over at Take Me Nowhere (ha, get it?)
America’s Next Top Model Goes Sex Work Positive?
This is pretty old subject matter, I know, but I hardly watch television due to the fact that the television is downstairs while my office (and the most occupied room in the house) is upstairs.
I was watching the latest cycle of America’s Next Top Model online (guilty pleasure, sorry!) and after the first minute and thirty seconds of the second episode, I stopped because the intro really hit a nerve with me. Is it just me or does the intro of the last season of America’s Next Top Model revolve around sex work?
In the beginning we of course see Tyra Banks posing for pictures and doing the “I used to be a model and that’s why I have this show” thing. Immediately afterwards, we see her in a glam/dominatrix outfit and walking out onto a runway, but with the lighting, I was immediately reminded of a strip club; not to mention, her entire attitude in the first 15 seconds exudes sex–Not modelesque, look at me kind of sexy, but look at me and give me a dollar bill sexy.
When the America’s Next Top Model hopefuls are pictured, we are given a series of somewhat disturbing images including a few in particular of Kimberly, Dominique and Marvita, who look like prostitutes waiting in a dark alleyway.
Isn’t it Tyra who is always telling these hopeful models to look high fashion and stay away from looking too “hoochie”?
Check it out for yourself and tell me if I’m crazy or not!
Loading …The Truth About Prostitution
The commercial sex industry is a very large and debated subject. Feminists, in particular, have waged wars of their own between themselves and between what is called “The Feminist Movement” and what is called “The Radical Feminist Movement” for quite some time now. Before you find yourself in the middle of a debate about sex work and sex workers, or if you have already made your own assumptions and stand firm on your beliefs, it is always wise to acknowledge and marinate on the facts of anything to assist you in your decision-making.
This picture is filled with facts on prostitution and why, exactly, most women enter the field.
The average age of women entering prostitution is 13.5. Most of the women who work within the commercial sex industry explore it’s many facets, which include street prostitution, massage brothels, escort services, outcall services, strip clubs, lap dancing, phone sex, pornography and prostitution tourism.
The commercial industry is by far one of the ugliest industries out there right now, yet sadly so many are resorting to working within it, most out of desperation. The long-term effects of prostitution, not to mention what led them there in the first place, are frightening and tell tales of abused pasts. These long-term effects do not wear off, nor do they get any easier for the woman. Prostitution undoubtedly hurts women and is a direct violation of human rights. To raise more awareness about it, visit Prostitution Research & Education, it’s a fabulous site.
