Behind the Scenes of the Mynx Photoshoot

This past Sunday Brigitte’s amazing sister Holly Marquette dedicated her entire day to being our designated studio photographer, and took over 1,000 pictures of us showcasing the ClubMynx current programs and also the new programs coming soon. So exciting and we can’t wait to reveal the new promotional pics in March! It was such a fun day, and a huge thank you goes out to Holly, Brigitte, Keeley, Nicola, Megan, Michelle, Tara and Ashlyn for joining in the fun! Here’s a few funny shots of us in action.

Videos and Pics from Taboo

We had such a great time at the Taboo show this past weekend. Thank you everyone who came out to watch the performances and take part in the workshops! Keeley did a fabulous job of leading the workshops and I have to say my favorite was the Sensual Movement workshop. The message was so positive and focused a lot on what sensual movement is, why it’s important for EVERYONE to try, and Keeley also gave lots of tips and demos on different moves to try. The best part about sensual movement is that once you get comfortable with it, you start to become more confident and feel sexier in your own skin no matter what you’re age, size, shape or dance abilities. Here are a few pics of Keeley as she led the workshop (haha…yes I was a being a “creep” in the crowd taking pictures lol).  

 

Keeley, Nicola, Megan and Brigitte also performed on Friday and Saturday night. Below are some videos of their performances. Soooooo good!

 

Lap Dance Participation 101

At the Taboo Show on the weekend, Keeley held two seminars:  'Lap Dancing' and 'Sensual Movement'.  Both were very well attended and Keeley gave great tips and advice on both topics.  For her Lap Dance seminar, she needed a participant or it would have been 'Chair Dancing'.  Having a male participant could be potentially humiliating for him, so I volunteered for the task!

Getting a lap dance from one of your best friends can potentially be a little awkward (do I enjoy myself?  keep it strictly professional?), so we decided to have a practice on Thursday in the studio to try reduce the amount of giggling we did when she was presenting her seminar.  If you have ever seen Keeley move, she is pretty darn hot, so I'm relieved we did a couple practice runs beforehand so I could get most of my giggles out then.

I ended up getting 5 lap dances from Keeley in 3 days, which was pretty amazing!  Since I now consider myself a lap dance participant expert, I decided to share my secret instructions in 3 easy steps:

1. Sit in the chair
2. No touching
3. Enjoy!

A Little R + R

Sometimes I find I get so busy that I forget to take the time to rest my body and mind, which I think is just as important as being busy and active.  This weekend was filled with exciting adventures - off to the Taboo show I went to watch some of the girls perform (which was AMAZING), then I enjoyed some live music at a local pub, a day of kicking my butt with workouts, an evening with friends, and a fun photoshoot day for Mynx! 

 

After such an amazing busy weekend, it feels like Monday has come just a little too early and I feel like I need a little more r + r in my life.  I know it's important so I am going to schedule it in for the week.  I know it sounds silly to have to 'schedule' in r + r but sometimes it's just what a girl has to do!

 

And...if you have been following my 'squat challenge' posts... well, I had a rough couple of days of just feeling down in the dumps, really tired, and I wont lie.. maybe even a little hungover and my challenge took a hit.  I took a few days off.  Yesterday I was feeling pretty disappointed in myself.  I had been doing so good only to loose my drive to reach my goal.  What was I going to do?  Well, as punishment and to kick my butt back in gear instead of my regular 100 squats a day I did 500 yesterday.  It's pretty safe to say that my butt and legs are beyond sore today but it was worth it and I will definitely not let that happen again!

 

 

 

Taboo!

This past weekend was Saskatoon's 4th Annual Taboo ... The Naughty But Nice Sex Show.  On both Friday and Saturday evening Nicola, Megan, Keeley, and I performed pole routines for a fantastic audience.  If you've never been to Taboo before, make sure you go next year!  We always have such a fun time!

Here are some pictures from the weekend. Great job girls!!

New Adventures!!

This month was a very big month for me in terms of change; January 29 was my last day working at the University of Saskatchewan.  It is bittersweet because I love and respect everyone I worked with.  It was my first job out of business college, and I will forever be grateful for my first 'big girl job'.

But life is about change, about exploring new opportunities, doing things that scare you, and stepping outside of your comfort zone.  I have given up the desk job to work at ClubMynx to teach pole, hoop, and taken in any other opportunity that comes my way!


For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for the performing arts.  I can't believe that I get to live this passion now! It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Mary Anne Evans:

'It is never too late to be what you might have been.'


This picture was taken when Keeley, Nicola, Megan and I were at Pole Convention last year in L.A. We stopped at the beach to take pictures and this really captures how I feel right now.  Excited for all the unknown possibilities to come!!
