Yummie Tummie Makes For More Than Just a Yummy Tummy.
This last Thursday in New York City, Heather Thompson, the creator of Yummie Tummie shapewear, collected up the best pole dancers the city had to offer, draped them in new Yummie Tummie animal print camisoles and tank tops along with a thong and held a pole dancing competition.
Now, I must admit, I’m a bit baffled by this. The garment that was featured on an Oprah’s Favorite Things Show this past spring was presented as a great top under suits, and a great choice when layering to keep your tummie looking yummie and slender. This garment is only carried in top department stores and a few websites - including HerRoom. So what’s it doing in a pole dancing competition in NYC?
The answer, it appears, is that I am sorely out-of-touch when it comes to the latest fitness craze. Yes, pole dancing has become an extremely popular exercise alternative. In fact, the basic moves give a great workout to your core as well as your arms. And, they have re-named it "pole fitness." The exercise moves that can be performed on a pole include the Butterfly, The Flamingo, the Crouch Spin, the Chair and the Ice Skater… this sounds absolutely exhausting.
So, hats off to Heather for putting a hot new fashion item with a hot new fitness craze and creating a great venue for Yummie Tummie.
Oh, and if you’d like to see all the ways you can wear the yummie tummie with different fashion tops,watch the video here.
