    San Francisco Pole Dancer Mimi Midnight

    I’m from all over! I was born in NYC and then moved to Shanghai, Los Angeles, Hawaii, and now San Francisco.

    How long have you been pole dancing and what inspired you to take it up?

    I’ve been pole dancing for seven years…People used to always ask if I was a dancer when I did yoga and while growing up. Eventually I figured I should be a dancer so I googled “adult dance classes” and pole dancing was the first thing that came up.

    Is it difficult to take up pole dancing?

    It is VERY difficult. I wasn’t immediately hooked when I first started even though it feels like I was in retrospect. It actually took watching videos on YouTube that got me really inspired to keep trying. I used to watch my idols and wish that one day I could be half as good as them. Today, I’m so grateful to be able to set the bar for myself instead of using someone else. My one advice is to stick with it consistently for at least 12 weeks before giving up.

    Which is the best compliment you have received?

    Someone once commented that they admired me for my bravery and courage. That was the best compliment. I don’t get called brave often and when I do, it feels really special.

    Is there something in life you can’t get enough of?

    I can’t get enough of food 🙁 Food has always been utilitarian for me, but somewhere in the last year, I became a foodie.

    Which 3 things do you enjoy doing most in the city you live in?

    My friends, pole community, and the views in San Francisco.

    If you could change or improve one thing about the world, what will it be?

    The way we handle the environment. We are in dire need of a better system for sustainability. It all starts with acknowledgement and awareness.

    What is a funny attempt a guy has tried to know you?

    Wow, I could probably write a book about these. Men are actually quite creative when they want to be, unfortunately, they don’t know how to properly harness their skills.

  • Showgirl Arizona and her killer pole dancing skills

    Showgirl Arizona and her killer pole dancing skills

    Hi Arizona, it’s a pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy.  Please share with us a little about yourself and where you’re from?

    Thanks for having me! My name is Arizona and I’m a professional showgirl and pole dance instructor from Sydney.

    How did you begin modeling?

    My first ever photoshoot was some 10 yrs ago for the hair salon that did my hair at the time. It was a fetish/goth/alternative shoot and I was so awkward and nervous. Fast forward to last year – I started collaborating with photographers and other creatives via social networking and word of mouth. As I gained confidence in my performance skills, also came my confidence in my own skin to shoot more risqué projects.

    You have many awesome tattoos! Is there an interesting story behind one of them?

    I was one of those kids drawing on themselves growing up so to me, I’ve always just liked the way a decorated body looked with incredible artwork from artists I follow so I don’t necessarily have deep meanings attached to them. One of my favorites however, would have to be the Gizmo on my leg in a teapot which I think is kind of ironic ’cause you can’t get gremlins wet.

    When did you pick up pole dancing and where did the interest come from?

    I started pole dancing early 2011 out of a whim although I probably knew deep inside I secretly wanted to be a showgirl someday.  I’ve always loved and dabbled in dancing or entertaining of some sort without prior proper training so pole dancing gave me that outlet of creating a show while getting fit, strong, flexible & confident at the same time.

    Is pole dancing tough to pick up for someone who has never tried it before?

    Pole dancing IS tough. There’s no sugar coating it. You will feel so inadequate, unfit, uncoordinated and that you will never be able to lift your own body weight for the life of you. But you have to persevere and you’ll get stronger and achieve so much than you can ever imagine and it’s an incredibly rewarding experience.

    Which song will you say best describes you?

    I’d be any Marilyn Manson song. Dark and tough on the outside but can be sweet and sensual on the inside and at most times makes no sense.

    What’s one fun fact about yourself that people might not necessarily know?

    I was a combat medic in the Australian Army Reserves in my early 20s.

    If you could ask your future self one question, what will it be?

    How many cats do I end up having in the future?

    Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions, Arizona. One last one before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

    Thank you! Sexy is confidence. Be it with clothes, with little clothes, lady-like or raunchy… Whichever you feel is the best version of you.
