Not that kind of pole. As far as anyone has said publicly she was not a stripper. She was part of a dance troupe while living in Hawaii and the about page on her blog she described herself as “a world-traveling, pole-dancing super hero.”

So more like artsy acrobatic dancing that just happened to involve the occasional pole.

Got it. Glad we got this sorted out. :-)

I'm sorry!
