Parents Furious over Pole Dancer at ‘Family-Friendly’ Colorado State Fair

Obese woman doing pole dance in no way is family friendly.

Everyone knows that only nicely shaped females should be allowed to pole dance for family/church enjoyment.

I think folk are overlooking the legal transmigration between the states.

I think the fruits and nuts that populated California cities like Berkeley have migrated to Colorado.

> We had strippers, except for the swim suit bottom and the pasties at the Texas State Fair in the 70s.

A bikini bottom and pasties is just a "very revealing bathing suit". State Fair friendly.

A "stripper" takes it all off. Not State Fair friendly. Well maybe, depending on the state....

Just sayin'...

She should just say she’s a dude and it suddenly all goes away.

‘Obese woman doing pole dance in no way is family friendly.’

At all.

It shows an obese woman writhing on the pole as stunned spectators watched in either disbelief or horror.

That description's a little over the top. I mean, yeah, she's pretty stocky. But as for the spectators, all you can see is the backs of their heads, so there's no real indication that they were stunned or horrified. They seemed attentive, but that's all you can see.

If the pole was horizontal instead of vertical, then that's not pole dancing, it's gymnastics

You... actually make a good point. Wow.

Civilization is the patriarchy ...

Weird acrobatic act

[BenLurkin]

If that’s so then we need to get better looking gymnasts because the ones now are wriggling piglets.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I don’t know.... I can run pretty fast. 😁

Did she dance the Mazurka and the Warszawianka?
