How pole-dancing helps me keep my marriage alive, by Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford has revealed how she keeps her marriage alive – by going to secret pole-dancing classes.
The supermodel says she’s using it to re-tap into her sexuality – and of course, her husband Rande Gerber doesn’t mind.
In a frank and revealing interview, the 44-year-old discusses everything from marriage to Richard Gere to becoming middle-aged.
It coincides with the release of her latest fashion shoot for Moscow’s TSUM store.
She says the classes take place in the dark ‘so you wouldn’t even recognise the woman next to you if she was next to you in the supermarket’.
Cindy told the Sunday Mirror: ‘I’m becoming a woman of a certain age. Just because you can wear a micro-mini skirt it doesn’t mean you should.’
She said she wouldn’t rule out plastic surgery but added the prospect scares her.
The mother-of-two also revealed how she’s given up on ‘complicated diets and weight plans’ and manages to stay in shape by volunteering at her children’s school.
Cindy, who has been married to club owner Rande since 1998, was famously married to actor Richard Gere for four years.
She said: ‘My ex-husband was very involved with Tibetan Buddhism and I found it interesting at first but it just wasn’t my thing.’

She already knew Rande by the time she divorced Gere in 1995, a fact she says is why they’re still together today.
‘It’s the first relationship where I was friends first. I recommend that. The other stuff goes up and down but if you actually like the person, it will hold you together.’
Cindy’s modelling career took of in 1986 but she admits that the industry – and the prospect of drug use on the party scene – frightened her.
‘I preferred to stay home with a book. I was never a party girl and I’m still not,’ she says.
