Honestly I think you will be hard-pressed to find quality photos that directly relate to pole dancing, other than ones you can find on the pole websites like X-pole, PS, and Lilminx. I don't know when this assignment is due but I would suggest just doing a shoot yourself, I know at my school all the graphic design students have access to things like photography equipment and lights, if your school has the same take advantage of it! Maybe you have a couple friends that would be willing to model outfits? Or you could contact costume stores and ask if they would be willing to lend you some costumes to shoot too if you don't want to just feature your dancing outfits in the project. Maybe some friends from your old club would also be able to model for you, you could ask the manager at your old club if you could use the club as a shoot location? Then you could take some really awesome photos of some neat pole tricks! I think the pole dancing and costume bits will be most difficult to take care of, diet, excersise, and beauty tips you can just use stockphotos or stuff off of flickr.com for right?
Speaking of flickr, this photostream has soe pretty decent pictures I'm sure you could work into ads or something, or hey, you could use them as pictures in an article about pole dancing in beijing, which is where the photos were taken, here's the link:

As for articles that I would like: I think your cover/feature article should be about a prominent professional pole dancer that has some titles? Like Felix Cane, etc. I think you could also throw in a few articles about women's lifestyle in general, dating tips, sex articles, articles about work/the office/your boss. Maybe articles about activities similar to pole dancing like gymnastics, dance, performance arts, etc. Maybe an article about party planning or cocktail recipes? Think about what kind of women pole dance and what kind of activities they are likely to also do in their daily lives and how old they are, are they married, do they have kids? These kinds of things will influence what kind of stuff you want in there.
This project sounds like a lot of work, good luck on it!
