After belly dancing for 20 years – studying, performing, and teaching – Jennifer woke up one day and found she needed a change. She tried burlesque, but it was difficult to get a good workout going when you had to stop every three minutes to pick up your clothing.

That’s when she discovered pole.

The addiction hit hard and soon she had a pole of her own and was spending all her spare time watching pole videos and chatting on the forums.

The only thing she didn’t like about pole was the shorts. Pole dancers at that time usually worked out in boyshort-style underwear, which was woefully inadequate for a pole dancer’s needs.

Luckily, Jennifer had had a previous foray into apparel manufacturing, so she quickly set about creating the world’s first line of athletic wear for pole.

And PoleSkivvies was born.

She lives in the northern reaches of Vermont with her hubby, stepdaughter, and a menagerie of furry beastlets. Her pole workouts are most notable not for her aerial acrobatics but for her colorful cursing, as Jennifer feels that having the mouth of a sailor is the best defense against a slippery pole.
