    Is the article not online, Manolo? The Annalucia, she has clicked over to the “Express” site but could not find any access to the article. Every click, it did nothing but bring up the same title page.

    And what is “pole dancing”? The Annalucia is old enough to remember the Limbo but was not aware of any variations thereon. Or is it an Egyptian-style stick dance, where the dancer twirls the long stick and occasionally balances it on her head?

    Annalucia — I am trying to figure out if you are being sarcastic or are truly innocent regarding the nature of the “pole dancing.”

    I’ll give you some hints:

    Scores, Liv Tyler in the Aerosmith “Crazy” Video, dollar dance (not the kind at weddings)…

    I don’t think the Express is online–so I picked up a copy at the Safeway. The silver pole-dancing shoes are most charming, even if pole-dancing isn’t your thing. I’m sure that Manolo will post the Express column on the blog tomorrow, or at least I hope he will.

    Is the Express available in the Metro area? I live about 40 mi from DC, and work about 20 mi away, I’d love to pick one up and read the column.

    Go to: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/express/pdfs/EXPRESS_08112005.pdf and to the bottom of p 32 where you’ll find “Dear Manolo”

    From the linked page, go to the very very top right where it says “download today’s edition” and click — it’s just a .pdf file.

    When the Annalucia is being sarcastic there is no mistake about it. She truly, honestly, does not know what pole dancing is. And she has never watched an Aerosmith video, though she has seen photos of Steven Tyler and finds him most unsavory in appearance. If this video involves Liv Tyler hiking her skirts and sitting in a gentleman’s lap then she does not really want to know more about it.

    And molte grazie to Jessica for the link. The Annalucia will click on it and hope that it leads her to the article.

    It’s on page 23 of the 8/11 Express, and the “find” feature doesn’t find it, for some evil reason.

    The Jayne wears this shoe for the dancing of the poles… and the dancing involving the room of ball
