Rest in Peace to my Instagram! *vent*

I made a conscious effort to never show a pastie or thong on my Instagram, because I feared getting a strike or full deletion, but it didn’t matter. My burly page with over 5k followers and my personal PRIVATE page of 2k friends were both deleted without reason. I thought IG gave clear explanations when they deleted pages, but not for me. All I got is what I’m sharing here. I hadn’t posted in over a week on both pages.

As a pole dancer and aerialist, I intentionally censored myself because what I do is demonized enough. No fully nude buttocks, no harmful language, blah blah. Never shared my favorite modeling photos or pole vids because I knew I wouldn’t be given the same grace as other pages.

I truly can’t believe that Meta uses the same rules around the world, and for everyone on Instagram when Playboy and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit actively post fully nude models with the tiniest censor blurs. My art as well as a lot of other artists deserve the same platform as them.

To be honest, I don’t want to make another page. I don’t want to be where I’m not welcomed. But, I had a lot of producers and contacts I’ve got to follow up with, so we’ll try again. I’ve always been on ghost in this community… maybe this is a sign to be on here more. Stay safe and stay true, burly babes.

Growing my social media

Hey burlys!

I’m a new performer, probably have just about 10 shows under my belt. I have close to 350 followers on my instagram, and I’d love to gain more traction and visibility! I only really post pictures after shows, but I’d love to do more to keep engagement. What kind of content could I push out? I thought maybe pre filming makeup tutorials before shows, showing my rhinestone progress, etc. Would love some good ideas, and some advice!

xoxo
