No Boys Allowed

Okay. I am starting to get annoyed by that cranky baby face that pops up every time I open my blog. So I am posting a piece of news. Last night, there were TWO MALES in my pilates class. This is extremely rare. Usually my class consists of about thirty girls. Females. No boys allowed. Are they just looking for extra humiliation? Don't they know about the unwritten code that says any boys joining a women's pilates class will be laughed right out of town? Guys shouldn't do pilates. They should do boy things...running, weightlifting, basketball, hockey, I don't know. But NOT pilates.
I can't help but wonder what the motivation is behind this. Why on earth would they want to come to a class full of girls whose bums are in the air half the time? Don't answer that. As if what we do isn't embarrassing enough without boys watching.
To make things worse, we did partner exercises last night. Naturally these two boys teamed up and were climbing all over each other and trying to balance on each others' backs. I can't imagine anything more awkward.
To all the guys out there who really want to do pilates, have some class, do it at home. Don't join a class full of girls and make things 100 times more awkward for everybody.

Hey, boys are COOL...and you should give them a star for their foreheads for "branching out"...but honestly, they were just looking for cute girls...and most cute girls go to pilates!

I would have to disagree. I think it's a really good class for all. It makes sense that to weirdo boys would want to hang out with a bunch of hottie girls. ..I did once have this weirdo old man in my yoga class. He would always position his mat so he could look at us and it made me feel weird...so maybe I do agree. I just always want Bri to come to yoga with me...so I want him to think it's cool and manly.

Audrey, Alison and I had a yoga master come to YW the other night. We loved it! Audrey wants to become an instructor. It was kind of funny though when we were relaxing at the end and the lights were off. The instructor told us to turn over on our sides when we were ready. The person next to me went left, I went right, we were lying one inch apart breathing in each other's faces. HAHA. I'm glad it wasnt MJ's weirdo old man. HAHAHAHA
