There’s only one word to describe professional pole dancers and strippers – magical.
Our favorite bad gal, Rihanna, recently released the mesmerizing visuals to her Unapologetic single “Pour It Up.” The video is nothing short of amazing, and it features professional pole dancer Nicole “The Pole” Williams (pictured above).
Despite the stigma of pole dancing and stripping, the fact of the matter is that pole dancing is a legitimate sport and being a “good stripper” takes a great deal of skill (and upper body strength).
