Are you a facebook narcissist?

Two psychologists at the University of Georgia say it’s POSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY NARCISSISTS FROM THEIR FACEBOOK PROFILES. They say the more friends and wall posts on a profile, the more narcissistic the person. One of the researchers says, “Narcissists are also more likely to choose glamorous, self-promoting pictures for their main profile photos, she said, while others are more likely to use snapshots.” Narcissists love Facebook, they say, because it allows them to maintain “numerous yet shallow relationships.”

The search for Miss Pole Dance Australia 2008 has nearly finished and spectators come from around the world will be making their way to witness the Australian Championships which have played to a sellout audience for the last 4 years. With worldwide interest in Pole Dancing blossoming, Miss Pole Dance 2008 promises to be the best yet.

This highly prestigious event attracts professional pole dancers from all over Australia, competing for the “Miss Pole Dance Australia” title. These elite athletes demonstrate what Pole Dance now represents in the field of sporting entertainment – that is – strength and agility choreographed to showcase the outstanding talent of the participants.

Apart from having fun, the overall goal of the competition is to show the public that pole dancing is an extremely challenging sport as well as a graceful and impressive art. In order to achieve this goal, the performances will showcase some fantastic costumes (no nudity), fantastic aerial pole moves and amazing dance styles.

The winner of the national final will be flown to Jamaica early next year to compete in the World Finals. Email: vanessa@bobbispolestudio.com.au Web: www.misspoledanceaustralia.com.au
