During our travels to Hollywood for the East Meets West Tri-Pole Challenge the Bad Kitty Entourage was invited to a weekly Pole Event Called “FLY” held at Shin restaurant and sponsored by X-Pole.  What a great time, we got to see Leigh Ann Reilly and Marlo perform, had a swank VIP booth with Bottle service, an open air patio, and met a ton of great people.  We had to learn more about this unique venue and had the chance to sit with the owner of Shin, Simon Shin, and ask some questions.

BK: So what spawned the idea of a weekly Pole Dance event ?

SS: Well a couple of my friends, Chris and Leigh Anne at Be Spun and Ty over at X-Pole we looking for a spot to do a weekly event where everyone could hang out in a nice place with a good vibe and watch the world’s best pole dancers perform. They wanted place that was intimate and also a good performance venue. The rest is history!

BK: How many events have there been thus far ?

SS:Wow it seems like we just started but we are already in our 7th week

BK: You have had some of the best and most well know Pole Dancers come to Fly, who are some of them ?

SS: Man now that’s an A list and I better not forget anyone so let’s see we have had Felix Cane from Australia, who is also one of the stars of the Cirque du Soleil show Zumanity in Vegas, Marlo Fisken from New York,  Sarah Cretul, all the girls from Be Spun like Tiffany Hayden, Mina Mortezaie, Anjel Dust, Amy Guion, Jennifer Kim & Natasha Wang. We also had Karol Helms from North Carolina and Allison Cox from Florida and I’m sorry if I missed anyone.

BK: There has also been quite a few celebrity sightings there as well, care to mention a few, what do you think attracts them to Fly ?

SS: They tend to come here because they are friends with Chris and Ty so I don’t think I should name drop them here. I think what attracts them is that they can come here and have a good time and see the world’s best pole dancers without being hassled.

Mina & Nadia with the Dr. !

BK: So are any of these celebs Pole Fans now ?

SS: Yes, lots of them like to come and hang out and watch the action.

BK: What should we be looking forward to in the future of Fly ?

SS: More of the same, more great dancers, more good times and

More special guest dancers…and of course more celebrities!

BK: WOW, what an amazing concept.  I’m sure we will get the question so we’ll ask it here now…If I’m a pole dancer and I think I have what it takes to come perform at Fly, how and who do I contact ?

SS: Yeah good point different dancers every week is what makes it FLY Leigh Anne Riley is the coordinator of all the girls so they can call her at 323-610-8268 or they can also call Heydi at the X-Pole office at 818-255-1880
