Stripper poles

This was sent to Scuttlebutt this week. Between America's Cup rumors and this, we don't know what to believe anymore...

It's the latest trend to hit the boating scene in the US and Canada - dance poles are the latest craze! Talk about a conversation piece for yor boat! People are buying stripper poles and having them designed to match their water crafts. I thought you might have interest in this fun item.

Lil' Mynx is the company that makes these poles and business is booming with orders all over the U.S. (more than $2 million business.) It started out as Women using these poles to get in shape, unleash their inner sex kitten and now it gives some fun and adventure to your boat decor. The poles are so popular as a design feature that they are now available in an array of colors (pink, red, flames, rainbow and custom to match your car.)

I'd be happy to provide high resolution photos, more information, or set up an interview with someone from the company.

Okay, we are soooo in a cave on this stripper pole "craze." We just learned that it is all Oprah's fault... here is an email we now received from Thailand:

(Monday, Oct 15th) Hi, as you seem to be caught up with stripper poles, we thought you may find the image (to the right) very amusing. Although pole dancing is alive and well here, especially in Thailand beer bars, the authorities don't encourage these activities on their public transport. It certainly is very invigorating and as a former part time instructor, I can recommend US housewives take it on to improve fitness and may even see their husbands rise to the occasion. -- Capt Marty Rijkuris, AsianYachting Ventures
