Bruised and battered

There's a bit to this pole-dancing business. Never knew that you can bruise your legs and knees without falling on the floor first or having your sister bump into you and knock you off your bike after a night out during Carnaval.
I have nice purple-black bruises on the inside of my right knee (original or what?!), the front of both my knees and the inside of my lower thighs. So happy it's not summer...
