  1. I second M&C. Last night: climbed up the damn pole, did an aerial invert, jade (front splits, upside down), smoothly transitioned into a gemini-scorpio leg switch (inside/outside leg hangs), into a straddle hip hold. Applause, tips, anything in a packed club? NOPE. I got a few bills when I finally gave up and did a few butt isolations out of frustration.

    Girl after me on stage after me got rained on for just doing the stripper booty jiggle for 3 songs straight.
