Alternative, hip-hop, country, rock, and now: lap dance. A radio station in Denver recently underwent a format change to become 101.5 The Pole, devoted to "classic nonstop stripper hits" from the '80s and beyond. Though it may just be a temporary stunt while the station transitions to an actual new format, The Pole is indeed spinning strip-centric hits until further notice.

You always hear about some poor sap who falls in love with the female stripper he pays to be nice to him and "dance" in his lap. Watching these dudes on The Ricki Lake Show (how random was it that she had her own show?), I have a hard time imagining the reverse.

Who manufactures and installs these lame stripper poles? There's now a whole new genre of video that shows hard-workin' pole dancers practicing their craft at home, only to have the poles collapse by the end of their routines. Since this is happening so much, just to spice things up, they could incorporate a comedy routine into their shows at the strip joints where they work.

I try and no matter how cool I try to be about bachelor parties, I get really nervous and uptight about them especially if there are going to be strippers involved. Let me rewind — I have been with my boyfriend for more than two years and while I trust him, strippers make me nervous. I think a big issue is my guy friends consider me "one of the guys" so I have heard every gory and disgusting detail of strippers they've hired in the past.
