I want to be a B-Girl - Goals, workout, and plan

b-girl :: break-girl, the female version of b-boy. aka. a female breaker (a 'break-dancer' WITH style)

Why do I want to be a B-Girl?

1. B-Girls represent women with attitudes, who have the courage and balls to break social norms and fight against gender stereotypes. They have mastered their body. They have no Insecurity. They reek of empowerment and Self-Respect.

2. Break-dancing just looks amazing. I would love to learn to move my body with such ease and fluidity.

3. I will be a Bad-Ass.


What am I going to do to accomplish this dream?

Following is my beginner plan for becoming a B-Girl. This Plan will be 6 weeks long, at which point I will then make a new plan. The goal is to be a bad-ass in 12 weeks.

Part I: Conditioning

The most important aspects I need to work on are:

a. Core Strength and Upper Body strength
b. Plyometrics (Jumping, being off the ground)
c. Balance

The workouts I plan to do to get my body ready:

a. P90X - Chest, Back, and Arms
b. P90X - Ab Ripper X
c. P90X - Plyometrics
d. P90X - Yoga
e. Belly Dance (the only form of dancing I am familiar with, so I will do it to get back into the groove of dancing and get in touch with the fluidity of my body.
f. PlayGround - I got this idea from the movie "B-Girl" in which the main character uses a Playground to condition. She does a form of "parkour" AKA "Free-running" which is basically keeping fluid movement while overcoming obstacles, and using what is there to assist your movement.
G. Breakdance class with Peppa: http://breakgirl.com/
H. YouTube B-Dance How-To Videos

This will be my Workout Schedule:

Monday: BellyDance; Yoga
Tuesday: Chest and back; Ab Ripper X
Wednesday: Plyometrics; Breakdance class with Peppa
Thursday: Arms; Ab Ripper X
Friday: Bellydance, Yoga
Saturday: Plyometrics
Sunday: Playground; Yoga

In addition to the above workouts, I will spend at least 15-30 minutes per day reviewing How-To videos and learning moves. In the next phase of my 12 week plan, I will dedicate more time to learning moves, rather than just conditioning.

That is the Workout Plan.

Part II: Attitude


A. Breakdance class. This will be the best way for me to adopt the attitude I need, gain positive influence from other aspiring b-girls, and learn from the best.

B. Dance competitions and Battles. The goal is to eventually be a b-girl. Therefore, I need to kick it with b-people and familiarize myself.

C. Hip-Hop: Rap Battles, HipHop shows, ect.

D. HipHop on the violin

Any Advice, suggestions, or positive vibes are much appreciated.

Unique Sex Fetish: Symphorophilia

Rich people have all the best fetishes. Rich people have managed to enforce luxury on even the most primitive and natural act: Sex.

Sex Styles of the Rich and Famous.


Not that I am complaining! Whatever makes things more interesting, I always say.

Rich people stage car crashes and then have sex in the wreckage. This is Symphorophilia.

They must be rich, considering it would take ample funds to have at least 2 cars that you do not care about, and stage a safe and legal crashing event. On top of that, they should probably need the connections and leeway to then bang within the wreckage, if it so happens to be in a public area.

Us little people are forced to wait until we total our piece of shit cars, or happen to drive by a wreck on the freeway. People who get off on this stuff will actually become sexually aroused when they see a car crash or disaster.

Think about it, do you get that tingling in your loins when you pass a car accident?

Considering the way people slow down and fascinate themselves with them while causing traffic, I would say that more people get off on car crashes than we think.

Apparently there is a novel, and even a film with some big names in it, about this sort of thing.

Info here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_%281996_film%29


Other then that my friends, I have searched the net and found one measly wikipedia definition. I am on the lookout for some sort of network where people plan and stage crashes, or maybe a forum discussing this fetish.

BDSM Subculture - Observations of People


BDSM: Bondage and Discipline (BD), Dominance and Submission (DS), Sadism and Masochism (SM)



I have been attending BDSM and fetish events and parties for about 7 years now. This subculture is beautiful in it's theatrics and drama, the fantasy coming alive and touching people's deepest needs.....yet only on the surface. There is a much more intense realm, one that I have not yet touched upon, as far as finding true, genuine people goes. I have found a few, but they are far and in between.

What I mean by "True" and "genuine" are those people who crave and desire a Power Exchange.....an intense exchange of energy. I do not intend to undermine the nature of those I encounter at events. I appreciate the subculture of open-minded and kinky individuals. I love the show: Masters with slaves on leashes, flesh hook suspensions, rope bondage, whips and chains.........It is a fabulous display of kink, fetish, and human nature. Most or all of those involved in the events must have some kind of submissive or dominant nature deep within them that they must indulge. They crave the presence of others who can relate.

So far I have observed certain types of people involved with this subculture:

1. Observers: These people wonder events and parties with a gleam in their eye, craving images and scenes that may brighten their dull, vanilla lives. They wish to see their fantasy come alive, they wish to communicate with people who can relate to them.

2. Abusers/Egoists: I have seen many "Dominant" men who can really lay into a submissive, in an intense and hardcore scene. They value the shock factor more then they do the person to which they are abusing. They get off on the public watching as they inflict huge amounts of pain. They feel like a king and like a bad-ass. They pay more attention to those watching then they do to those they are hurting. They do not value the head-space of the bottom, which makes them abusers. I once observed a "Dom" instructing his sub NOT to cry. He wanted to show everyone how hardcore they were.

3. Troubled Girls: It is true that many people in this lifestyle have experienced some sort of trauma or negative childhood experience. I have spoken to many females who have been raped, abused, or molested. I have heard some of the most disturbing stories ever while talking with submissive females in the lifestyle. The trouble is, these girls are incredibly vulnerable and can easily be taken advantage of by Abusers, as described in #2.

4. Performers/public participants: The drama of BDSM is addicting. Watching a scene, parts of it can strike a chord deep within that can keep us up all night. Fantasies that are never spoken of come to life, and entrance the viewers who have opened their mind to it. I will never forget the first time I visited a dungeon, and how much of an impact it had on me. I was shocked, impressed, envious, disturbed, and turned-on all at once. To be apart of the show, to be an image embedded on someone's mind, to corrupt minds and create fantasies: Performers create the vibe and scenes that people crave.

5. Lifestylers: These are people who live BDSM in their day-to-day life. Many have a relationship in which one person is Dominant over the other. There are many levels. Some are simply seeking a submissive partner, while others seek 24/7 live-in Master/slave relationships. Some people are collared, while others go as far as to modify their body to represent ownership.


People in BDSM come from all walks of life. Many or even Most people involved in BDSM do not choose to be public with it. People who are interested in a genuine power exchange tend to avoid the public events, thinking them fake, theatrical, and reckless.

If you are interested in BDSM I do recommend attending events and visiting related social networking sites. However, just be aware that it will be a rocky path, full of disappointments, but also full of wonder and discovery. You will discover parts of yourself you never fathomed existed, and will explore realms you never imagined. The lines between pain and pleasure will be blurred.
