I would think that a mike stand would be a reasonable substitute for a pole if the stripper were a pole dancer, as most are today. This does not mean the girl was a stripper, just that the presence or absence of the mike and its stand is no eveidence one way or the other about the girl's performance.

You're kidding right?
Mic stands are usually lightly constructed, with adjustable lengths held by simple friction. If worn even slightly, they are sometimes unable to hold up a microphone where you want it to stay...no chance of holding up a pole dancer.
