the pole

The pole is an ‘x-stage’ a free standing pole that packs and travels for pole dancers to take with them to gigs. It’s perfect for a touring circus show with a Chinese pole act. When I call Luke on my way home from work on Sunday night he has watched the instructional DVD and is setting it up. “Come round and look, it’ll be done by the time you get here.” Of course it isn’t, but it’s pretty close and I help with the final slotting together. We try it on spinning mode and adjust to staying still. It bends a little and it seemed to take longer than the 15 minutes they claim it will take to set up. It has 3 extra bags to what the woman in the online picture is pulling. I feel nervous we’ve made a wrong decision, but am ready to see how it goes.
