Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
So - I am absolutely pissed right now. I wanted to compete in the 2012 Miss Pole Dance Canada, seeing as I have been pole dancing since 2005 and was thinking that a competition date would be a great way to up my game and really get back into it. I have been stripping as long as I have been pole dancing, and recently made the move to camming..
So I read through the rules, and you cannot compete if you are involved in "pornography". I asked, and camming is considered porn (obviously). I asked WHY people in the adult industry cannot be competitors, and was told that they do not want to be associated with the negative image of porn.
So...strippers and escorts have a FANTASTIC rep that they would have no problem being associated with, but camming? Oh, god, the horror!!
Does this piss you guys off too? Don't you think that it is ridiculous that only PART of the adult industry is banned from competing? And it just happens to be us. I am absolutely livid, and getting as much clarification from them as possible...I am ready to kick up such a stink!!

Go girl! That sucks!!!!! Uggggh! Let us know what becomes of it. Maybe there are some other camgirls that pole dance that could help you in fighting it! Good Luck!
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
I am in the middle of an e-mail conversation requesting as much definition and clarity as possible, and then I intend to cry havok, and let loose the dogs of war!!!!
Thanks for the support! xx

That is such a PISS OFF!!!
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
It's BULLSHIT! I don't know about Can. but here we have some nude a thon..my friend entered a Miss Petite contest in it. She's a gorj. petite natural blond w/a hot rockin' bod (we've worked together prev.), & didn't even place..I saw the winner/runners up, & I said, "Really"?
What I heard about that particular thing is, it's pretty much fixed..some girls win like years in a row..come ON!
I have entered bikini contests, & have found that to be true as well.
As mentioned, maybe you could enter another contest..based on your skills. Maybe don't mention camming.
Anyway good luck hun.
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
Obviously those are the pole dancers who want everyone to think pole dancing is nothing but "art/sport" and would like to forget where it originated ::)
I doubt these holier than thou bitches are interested in fair play but by all means, give them hell! I would LOVE to see them forced to allow anyone who wants to enter. Including males ;D
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
Dumbasses... I used to love my pole dance community until I realized how freaking judgmental a lot of their organizations are against sex workers. I understand the girls who do it just for sport not wanting people to brand them "whores" but that doesn't mean you freaking ban people who do do sex work. Jeezus... A lot of women who get into artistic pole dancing get so caught up in not wanting to be labeled "strippers" or "porn stars" or "hookers" that they focus more on their stupid public image than they do on their activity. They need to grow a pair and stop focusing so much on their precious PR.
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
^Here's what I think is funny: When you see those videos touting artistic / sporty pole dance classes, they invariably point out how sexy it makes the women feel. Why does pole dancing make women feel sexy??? Because it's a fkn STRIPPER thing and they are all just a bunch of wanabe strippers trying to pretend to be something else. LMAO.
These women are just like the stupid drunken sluts who grind dicks for free or for cheap drinks, then turn around and call strippers whores. As if doing it for free somehow makes it more wholesome. LOL
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
The irony about this is, that these are the same women who are probably for equality: in the workplace, in society, etc. Yet, but now allowing ALL women to participate in the competition, aren't they assimilating the role of the white male authority, which is the exact thing they are supposed to be liberating themselves from! Women have to understand that women's equality is not an elite thing for only certain groups of women and not others. Not allowing all women, regardless of their background in cam, stripping, escort, etc. to participate is in fact completely assuming the "sex is bad" stance, when in 2012 aren't we supposed to be empowering women? It makes me sad they have these rules, and I hope enough ladies speak up and get this changed, or rather, put on an even better pole dancing event where ALL persons can enter, without discrimination to employment (isn't that unconstitutional anyway??), age, gender, etc.
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
Face-palmed hard at them banning certain adult performers from an event that's born out of the adult industry. How hypocritical of them. I'm really sick of the "sexuality is OK as long as you don't get paid for it" stance people take about things like this. It also pisses me off that supposedly "liberated" women are the absolute worse about it. Give 'em hell.
P.S. Male pole dancer rock.
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!

I have a friend who HATES the idea of sex work but dreams of being a burlesque dancer. I know another chick that does burlesque that freaked out when someone asked if she sold their used stockings. C'mon ladies, not everyone is looking at you shake your tits and thinking "how retro and transgressive!!!!"
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
Use a stage name.
I don't see how the fuck it's any of their goddamned business.
Re: Cam Girls can't compete is Miss Pole Dance!!!
Little update on this - I am STILL waiting to hear back from the organizers of Miss Pole Dance (the worldwide competitions) as Miss Pole Dance Canada passed the buck, and said that they were just taking their orders from on high. I am going to send a follow up e-mail if I have not heard back by Monday, and if they continue to ignore me, I will contact the governing body for the sport to see if they are officially recognized by them.
I'm pretty sure that they think that this will just go away if they ignore me long enough, but I will take this as far as I can. I may not ever win this battle, but I feel like its one I have to fight - after all, if we accept this kind of prejudiced bullsh*t from people who are basically in our own industry, how will we ever get the mainstream to accept that sex work can be a perfectly legitimate and rewarding career?
Thanks so much for posting ladies - it's keeping me focused and buoying me up when I feel like I'm just being ignored. Huge gratitude for the support! Mwah!!
