Old Pole Dancer

Ever wonder where aging pole dancers go when they get too old to mount the pole? Well, I went on the casino cruise today and watched a very elderly lady do her rendition of pole dancing.

When the casino cruise ship heads back to shore, we're treated to live entertainment in the form of a small band and singer. The dance floor often fills up with a few men and many more women. There are a lot of widows in Florida and we don't mind dancing with each other.

Today we watched a particularly agile older lady who got up and danced her heart out. For whatever reason, she began swinging around 2 posts on the dance floor but wasn't capable of wrapping her legs around them, thank heavens.

I couldn't help but wonder if this had been her occupation many years ago or if it was something she felt she'd missed out on when she was young.

People sure are interesting to watch, aren't they?
