Should Pole Fitness Be Banned?

In response to this article I would like to say:

I really like the authors perspective, and totally disagree with the statement from Swansea SU but i'm shocked that there is hardly any mention of male dancers. If Swansea had considered the growing number of male dancers in pole fitness, it may have changed their stance on how sexualised the sport is. The sole reason they banned it seems to be that it is putting women in danger of being sex objects.. therefore male pole dancers are surely at risk of the same thing? The lack of acknowledgment of male participation in pole dancing in this article is in some ways making the assumption that pole fitness is a sport for "sexy women" more ingrained, when in reality, pole dancing is an inclusive sport that has very nearly shaken off all of its links with the sex industry, in order to stand as an athletic sport in its own right.

I love pole as a sport, and I'm so glad I have the opportunity to be involved in such a wonderful community.

MY PHONE IS A CUPCAKE

My first ever deco case! 

So last night, I drank champagne and made this! Pretty pleased with it, as I had never done decoden before. I hadn't ever piped anything before either, not even cupcakes, so the resin icing effect is pretty neat considering... took ages to clean up though lol!

The design was just stuff I like (ice cream, hello kitty, pearls) and I tried to add a sort of edible theme, but its a bit eclectic. I think if I was making them as gifts/to sell on etsy I would go with more of a cohesive theme, colour and cabo wise, but as it was for me it was just everything I like. 

 I got all of my cabochons from etsy, some quite cheap, others more expensive (but I LOVE jelly bean cabos!) I will definitely be making more deco stuff, just because it is really fun and quite easy to do well. I want to experiment with some of the other glue types too, like deco icings, but I started with the whipped cream effect because I just love the texture! 

What do you think??
