"Best 2k I Ever Spent!" Pole Superstar And S.P.I.N. Launch Party

Pole Superstar is the ultimate pole dance competition, which is pretty funny if you didn't know that there are tiers of pole dancing. The sometimes vertical, upside down performers go head to head for a $10,000 grand prize. Not too bad for some erotic exercise. Yesterday, Pink Elephant housed the game's elite, with Richie Akiva, Kipton Cronkite (this is totes artistic), Sir Ivan and many more serious spectators on hand to check out the moves, while also celebrating the launch of Single Parents In Need. Charity and anything is a great pairing, even pole dancing.
