(135,425 posts)that young lady was doing for sport. She was a young person who enjoyed athletics and social media and enjoyed communicating in a creative way--that describes a fair percentage of the young people in her age range.
I rather quickly learned, thanks to the rather copious media coverage, that people do this pole dancing as a form of exercise, they keep their clothes on, and it is HARD to do. It's quite an athletic endeavor, and she was good at it. She was also good at something called "silks" which is the kind of thing we see at Cirque de Soleil--hanging off of giant pieces of fabric high off the ground. She enjoyed dance and exercise--what nice areas of interest. I don't remember any long, drawn out Ooooh La La about her activities once it was revealed that she belonged to a club of artists who did this stuff.
She needed an exercise room and the garage was nice and clean and filled the bill--the boxes kept people from looking in while she was doing her workouts (and from a practical standpoint, if ES knew he was going to do a runner, at least she had boxes to move out of that joint).
But yeah, the "Waaah pole dancer boxes" thing comes up all the time. It's silly because they're the only ones "Waaaah-ing" about it.
