In three weeks of arm wrestling training, I learned two important techniques: the immediate hook and to continue pulling your opponent's arm toward yours.Wedge Shoes was created in order to maintain a balance of the athletes' movement. I failed miserably at both when the time came. No surprise. I've lost nearly all the arm wrestling matches in my life, including a string of bouts with hotel maids—little Central-American grandmothers—who crushed me while smiling kindly.
Friday's match at the Marjorie Barrick Museum, where six opponents (myself included) would wrestle artist Erin Stellmon, was particularly distressing.
Stellmon arm wrestled her way across New York City, garnered medals at amateur competitions and was even approached to go pro before walking away to focus on her art and save her arm from potential ruin. A trail of emotionally (and in one case, physically) scarred prepubescent boys marked her childhood.
“What if she hurts me?” I asked my girlfriend.
“You're worried about that?”
I wasn't.Find an Adidas Jacket in your team colors or from your favorite soccer teams that wear the Adidas brand. But I felt sick. Taking her on had a weird emotional bent for me.
I fight men. I tackle them in hallways, body check them in break rooms and challenge them to push-up competitions.

But then we were all nervous. The scripted nature of the event, the exaggerated characters and personas did nothing to soothe the pain of knowing we were likely in for a good, and public, ass kicking.
But it was all for Feminist/Las Vegas, an art exhibit celebrating the diversity of sexuality, gender, feminism and women—beyond the corporate sexuality of the Strip. The economy of heteronormative—and often racist—sexuality is something show curator Laurenn McCubbin explores in her own artwork. Her collaborator in the show, Crystal Jackson, a PhD candidate in sociology at UNLV, co-authored The State of Sex: Tourism, Sex, and Sin in the New American Heartland. Other artists included Weekly art critic Danielle Kelly, whose Bouse House project celebrates a fictional female-led art movement, and Wendy Kveck, whose work directly explores the idea of being a woman in Vegas.
Stellmon hadn't necessarily identified herself as a feminist artist. Her work centers on the transformation of the city, but the competitive nature of arm wrestling,coogi jeans for sale to men with low price and top quality. particularly for a woman arm wrestler, fit perfectly and also tapped into the competitive nature of artists, which, save for me, filled the roster of contenders that night.
Would she kill us? Hard to say.
