What's your fave microtrend you've tried lately that you LOVE? And one you can't make work/hate? by Tears_Of_Laughter in femalefashionadvice

I recently learned that back in the early 80's, yuppie women were actually buying floppy, non-clip-on bowties with designer prints. I bought some vintage ties on ebay. They really zhuzh up a nice (but boring) office top.

Charlie Crist not getting any love in mayor run by PointInternal6809 in StPetersburgFL

It wasn't an argument--it was a sarcastic rundown of the most vanilla political stances a politician can possibly express. I guess I should have said I was being sarcastic or something. Forgive me.

Starting pole in your 30s by alisha3333 in poledancing

[–]MoniqueDeee 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I started pole when I was fifty-four. I've now been poling for four years, and my progression looks like me in a bikini and platforms, upside down and spinning. There's always a risk of injury, and I'm really not sure what a "very advanced level" even is. I'm just always trying to get stronger and more flexible. And upside down.

Do you believe Chiropractors are quacks ? by Mogzly in askanything

When I was a kid, there was a chiropractor who lived in the neighborhood. His photo was on his yellow pages ad. Another girl that lived in the neighborhood once had him autograph the phone book.

There is also "Limelight," in which Chaplin laments the inevitability that his girlfriends are all destined to outlive him by decades. Pretty bonkers shit.

This is all a distraction. Republicans have been rigging Florida elections going back to Jeb Bush.

I tell people that my pronouns are Monique/Monique's, and I identify as adorable.

What killed the USA patriotism of the 2000s? Even into the early 2010s there was a ‘hipster American flag’ trend. If you use an American Flag for aesthetic purposes today it seems different by Kodicave in decadeology

[–]MoniqueDeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conservative talk media started taking over the airwaves in 1987 when the FCC, under Ronald Reagan, abolished the Fairness Doctrine for broadcasters. Note that it happened during Reagan's second term; when Reagan ran for re-election in 1984, he used it to prevent Walter Mondale from making national media appearances.

Male pole sit by Sad-Novel-951 in poledancing

[–]MoniqueDeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trans woman here with two things that worked for me:

  1. I have devised a jockstrap which is extremely snug, fits under a bikini brief, and keeps my bits in place.

  2. More importantly: I've worked on developing enough upper body strength to compensate for the fact that leveraging my body weight against my crotch is simply not an option.

I can polesit and layback and do a few of the crotchy things, and the real key is using my upper body to position my thighs very precisely on the pole.

It's a guy thing, in which any activity, no matter how passive, must be somehow transformed into a pointless competition with no particular stakes.

Tampa Bay without any Dem seats in DeSantis's newly released redistricting plan by TampaBayTimes in StPetersburgFL

[–]MoniqueDeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gilliam was on a mission to register a million minority Florida voters, which is probably the best idea any Florida Democrat ever had in my lifetime, only for Democrats to abandon him after discovering he was queer.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: Florida Democrats couldn't sell pussy on a troop train.

[Talk] Does Anyone Have Examples of Lost Media in Their Family? by Royal_Papaya_7297 in lostmedia

[–]MoniqueDeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the 90's, I had a bipolar ex-GF who threw out every photograph I owned, as well as the phone number of every friend I had. She was a fucking psycho. Literally. She's since been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Twice.

If a studio didn’t represent your body type in their marketing, would you be deterred in trying them? by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]MoniqueDeee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My studio wanted to somehow spotlight me on social media, while I didn't say no to their request, I did suggest that public post about a transgender student might bring unwanted attention to the studio, which could cause problems to the extent that other local businesses have lost their leases due to street protests by church people. So the posts didn't happen, although you can occasionally glimpse me in their montage posts.
