世界最重钢管舞者：114公斤舞艺超群

　　Pole dancing is an incredibly difficult sport -- and one woman is out to prove that size doesn't matter when it comes to skill。
　　钢管舞是一项非常难的运动。而一名女子却要向世人证明只要舞技高，体型不重要。
　　LuAyne Brown, who goes by the stage name Lulu, is a lifelong cheerleader and dancer who gravitated towards the sport in 2006.
　　露安·布朗的艺名是露露，她曾是一名拉拉队员，在2006年的时候开始跳钢管舞。
　　"I'd always wanted to try it, but I was worried about what people would think," she told Closer magazine in 2011. "But when I turned up for my first class and everyone was in stilettos and tiny shorts, regardless their different sizes, I felt a lot better."
　　“我总是想要尝试一下，但我担心人们会怎么想。”她在2011年的时候对Closer杂志说，“但是当我第一次去上课时，看到每个人不管提醒胖瘦都穿着高跟鞋、迷你裙，我就感到好多了。”
　　She began competing in 2008, undeterred by disparaging comments on her YouTube page。

　　Brown, who has been referred to as "the world's heaviest pole dancer," told The Huffington Post in a phone interview that she hopes to spread a body-positive message to women。

　　布朗被人们称作“世界最重钢管舞者”，她在接受赫芬顿邮报的电话采访中表示，她希望让女性积极地看待身材。
　　"We see so many images of what a body should be," she told HuffPost. "But you should love yourself from day one until your last day."
　　她对赫芬顿邮报说，“有很多图片告诉我们身材应该如何如何。但你从始至终都应该爱你自己。”
　　According to Brown, her size has never restricted her -- either on the pole or off it。
　　布朗说，她的身材从未对她造成任何制约，不管是在钢管舞上还是其他方面。
　　"Life is awesome," she told HuffPost. "Don't let a number on the back of your jeans determine what kind of life you want to lead."
