My performance at Cowboy Wild's Pole-Tacular Birthday Extravaganza
This will be short and sweet. Here's video of my performance at Robert's birthday (you can read more about the weekend HERE). There is also the playlist of other performances. Thank you to AJ for teaching us the choreography from the video! And thank you so much to all of my back-up dancers! Since I could barely remember the dance, I needed you!!!

It was a Timber Brown weekend!
When Robert aka Cowboy Wild decided to make his birthday party a benefit for Timber Brown's organization, Timber's Kids, we thought it would fun to invite him but figured it was a shot in the dark on whether he would have time to come out for it (or even want to...hello, we are virtual strangers asking him to fly out and perform on a promise that we are supporting his cause). It never hurts to ask and this one paid off big time.
Timber's Kids is a charity that supports children who may have had rough childhoods and allows him to bring circus opportunities to them. If you would like to support the cause, please donate HERE. If you work for a school or other organization that would like to have Timber come out, please contact him.
I first saw Timber perform at California Pole Dance Championships in 2011. I was mostly only familiar with what I consider "traditional" pole dancers at the time, which consisted of female dancers. Think Natasha Wang, Phoenix Kazree. Beautiful dancers and athletic - yes, but they still were not doing anything like Timber was doing at the time. CPDC was on stage poles that year and Timber blew my mind and probably almost knocked over the poles. I interviewed him in my blog the same year. [You can read that post HERE.] Timber and I spoke on the phone before I sent him my questions and the one thing I took away was how sweet he was.
Fast forward to Pole Expo 2013. Timber was in the middle of his America's Got Talent ride and I finally got to meet him in person. Sometimes I don't like meeting famous people. I don't like to ruin my vision of them. But again, I was very taken with what a nice person he was. So when Robert wanted Timber at his birthday this year, I felt like we had nothing to lose by asking. Timber not only came through but far-exceeded our expectations.
Timber flew out last Friday and we went on an adventure in San Francisco. We rode BART and Muni. Timber climbed things. Tall things. [There was only one rule: he couldn't get arrested...death was fine, but handcuffs were not...until Sunday, that is!] There were handstands in the Marina overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. We had cupcakes to celebrate Robert's birthday. It was really a beautiful day (minus our sunburns). That evening, Timber taught a private class at Twirly Girls and, after dinner for Robert's birthday, we went back to the studio for more fun on the pole.
Timber brought a really fun new aparatus with him. He has fashioned a chair to a spinning pole and the things he can do on it are pretty amazing. The working title of the chair is Timber Brown's Pole Chair. There is a patent pending. Check out some play time at Twirly Girls:
I think one of the things I admire most about Timber is the intensity and the honesty in his performances. It doesn't matter who is in that chair. The eye contact is there and that person feels like they are the only person in the room. I'm not sure Timber meant for his chair to be a lap dance tool but it sure did work out for Robert and his birthday!
Our fun continued on Sunday, as we returned to San Francisco to watch Robert's husband as Holotta Tymes in Sunday's A Drag at the Starlight Room. We ate a delicious brunch and enjoyed the show from the front row. We then went back to Walnut Creek, where we held Robert's birthday show to benefit Timber's Kids at Club 1220: Cowboy Wild's Pole-Tacular Birthday Extravaganza. You can keep an eye out on my YouTube channel for video of the performances, but I just couldn't wait to get Daisy's lap dance up for everyone to enjoy. She donated $110 in order to enjoy this special performance up close and personal!
In the end, over $1,800 was donated to Timber's Kids. We are so touched that Timber was able to join us for the weekend and I'm so proud of how Robert is flourishing, both as a person and a pole dancer. Thank you to every single person who made this weekend so amazing. I can't wait to do it again!
Check out a few photos from our adventures below:
Another poletastic weekend. Thank you to Robert and Dale for including me in the birthday celebrations, thank you to Kate for joining us this weekend, to AJ, Seanmichael, and all of the Twirly Girls. To 1220. To everyone who attended the show. To everyone who participated in the show. ESPECIALLY TO MY BACK-UP DANCERS! And to Timber. What an amazing soul. I look forward to doing this again! Until next time...keep twirling! (Or twisting...that's for you, Steve!)

Cowboy Wild's Un-Pole-Lievable Pole Show at Club 1220
So both Twirly Girls and Club 1220 have been pretty awesome and understanding any time Robert and I want to do something crazy. Throw up some poles in the club and bring on half-naked pole dancers?! Of course!! Up until now, we have always done it for charity. And this weekend, we dance for the fun of it.
To show how grateful we are for the dancers who have donated their time to us in the past, we welcome the Bay Area to come to Club 1220 in Walnut Creek this Saturday, November 30 at 6:00 PM to enjoy our amazing pole dancers. Unlike other pole showcases, we WILL allow tipping at this show. There is NO nudity, however. But, especially if you have not been to a pole show before, you will definitely enjoy the show.
As many of you know, Robert, aka Cowboy Wild, has been involved with 1220 for years and his husband, Holotta/Dale is the hostess of Holotta's Un-Boy-Lievable Drag Show. So, now we present: Cowboy Wild's Un-Pole-Lievable Pole Show.
We understand some of you may be out of town for Thanksgiving, but if you're around, and ready to get away from the family for a couple of hours, please stop by! The show is at 6 PM. Cover charge is only $5. Tipping IS encouraged (please don't try to stuff the money down anyone's pants though). The bar has 80's night afterward, so you can stay and dance the night away if you'd like!
PERFORMING:
JILL ANNE
Robert "Cowboy Wild" Carstensen
Grace Garcia
Kate Cotruvo
Amy Bond
Lori Myers
Yolanda Berry
Patrick Loranger
Missy
If you are on Facebook, the official event invitation is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/627101380663457/
Have a happy, happy Thanksgiving and I hope to see you Saturday!
