When did Kristy start pole dancing?

She is absolutely stunning as an artist and breathtakingly beautiful as a lady. I never would have thought that pole dance would come out of adult venues to become such an artistic form of expression. Well done Kristy. Since there is no mention anywhere I only have one question, is this goddess married?
