Our first-ever guest is back and how we have missed her! Comp season in Australia is hitting hard, and we are loving the new faces and competitions that are coming onto the scene.

Both Bailey and Lynn run competitions and chat about their respective newbie sections and of course - should our old, kinda faithful grading table make a comeback with a fresh face?

It's another reboot! I have seen this "How do I get back into pole?" crop up in the groups and the chats so here is the incredible chat we had with Lyn a couple of years ago, about starting again.

It's our first ever guest!

We welcome Lynn - Previous Director of Hanger 66 in Brisbane and one epic pole dancer!

The trio discuss the topic of f*ckery that is getting back into pole and falling in love with it again while comparing ourselves....to our past selves.

It's a lil bit real and raw - touching on some serious topics of body image and mental health (but we keep our usual nonsense as well) so if this isn't your vibe, maybe skip this ep for the week.

LOVE Charlie and Emily.

Life is LIFING, friends! Charlie and Emily are caught up in it, so here is a revisit to one of Em's top fave interviews - Stephanie Jane!

She's a tiny ball of muscles and personality - It's Stephanie Jane! Current Miss Pole Dance South Australia and Northern Territory!

Join us on Steph's journey and to know another of our competitors heading to The Enmore Theatre in November!

Charlie and Emily had a busy weekend! Both were at competitions in the cold southern states (Which is anything below NSW border really!) Emily attended the 12th Annual Shining Diamond Pole Competition by Diamond Class Pole Fitness in Hobart (Hobart's longest running pole competition) and Charlie MC'd Canberra Classique!

Plus your usual chit-chat, spirals and toe-dates! (Oops)

Charlie and Emily chat through this year's Mr Pole World line up cause it is filled to the brim with TALENT.

Charlie bring's Emily up to the cool kids with who's hot in Pop Music.

And honestly, that's it really!

Mr Pole World is on the 6th of June at the Factory Theatre.

Tickets are on sale now - you will have a thousand regrets not seeing this show live!

Charlie regains his land legs after being out at sea for East Coast pole cruise!

It's boats, aging pube colours and Charlie being a wittle new born lamb.
