Pole dance : Ma vie en équilibre by Juliette Taka

emotional funny informative inspiring lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

5.0

Un livre très doux.

On y suit Laeticia, une jeune femme qui découvre la pôle. C'est drôle, c'est beau, un vrai plaisir à lire ! Son enthousiasme pour ce sport, les dessins de toutes ces postures, la bienveillance de tout le monde… puis d'ailleurs les strips sont entrecoupés de pages de conseils, toujours clairs et bienveillants.

De très très jolis dessins et un amour pour la nourriture. Par contre des comportements assez sexistes/genrés (c'est la femme qui fait la cuisine…).

5.0

Une BD de 240 pages, toute en nuances de bleu. Elle aborde des sujets durs et des sujets doux, montre des relations amicales, amoureuses et familiales, et on suit la belle évolution de la protagoniste à travers tout ça (c'est une autobio mais l'auteur est genré au féminin dans la bd). Je recommande vivement !

A fun story about women who love each other, with fun, mystery and tenderness.

The writing's a bit confusing sometimes and you sometimes don't know who's in the room or who's talking, but apart from that it's very nice to read through the story and get immersed in it, San Francisco is described with such love you can see the buildings, the streets, the lights…

The characters are intriguing and colorful: a scientist, a witch, a young woman who's still very witty, a butch woman…

I love how easily I was transported in that time, where women and men had very distinct roles and you had to be brave and bold to try and go against those standards. It was a nice, comfortable read that will stay in me while I reflect on all the magic and mystery that remains.
