I think it takes up to 6 weeks to get them. She has to make them and it does take a while. I would suggest trying her through FB. Email forms on websites can be twitchy, maybe she didn't get it?

I recommend Infinifty. I've taught workshops there and I'm good friends with Val the owner. She runs multilevel classes which is great because you can learn at your own pace. The girls are an amazing team. I love how supportive they are of one another. You'll have a great time and Val is a great teacher.

I think they need to start making more durable bullets so kitties of all kinds don't break them 😉 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

@Marle LOL! Yes! We left the bullet on the night stand and the cat stepped on the controls and turned it on, after that he was a little obsessed with and everytime we left it out he'd find it and eventually broke it. lol.

Additionally, to repeat what Mary Ellyn said…event organizers have vendor booths that need to be filled, our job is to sell those booths to businesses who will provide products our demographic will like so that both the attendee and vendor are happy. This is very difficult. Sex toys actually sell very well at pole events, with the main reason I think being, that most pole dancers are a bit more open minded and most people use sex toys/products if they are having sex and most people are. Pure Romance for example sells high quality products that do not break easily and they also have a bath and body line – which I have/still use to this day but the only way for many of us to get our hands on these products is to go to a party. There is no Pure Romance store where you can replace your favorite vibrator or grab lube. This makes events (pole or not because I have seen them at Bridal Shows as well) the perfect place to sell some stuff.
*I have not tried any of the sex toys from Lover's Lane so I cannot comment on their quality but Pure Romance makes an awesome silver bullet. Mine just finally crapped out but that because the cat kept turning it on – sorry TMI.

I like Ani's response – a post performance tension reliever! lol!
Most of the booths at comps are small local companies, for example, Pure Romance is a large company that a single person purchases a bunch of merchandise and sells, primarily to women. The amazing thing about pole is that it has empowered many women to open their own businesses from educational websites live Veena to studios, clothing lines, etc so why not empower a local woman who sells products women would find useful? Pole exhibitions are a great opportunity to network and promote local women's businesses. At least that is how I see it. So why wouldn't I include sex toys? I've had purse vendors and make up vendors – neither product has much to do with pole either. 🙂
Unless you are selling pole specific clothing, grips or poles – there aren't a lot of pole specific related manufacturing, merchandise and distributors out there. I've seen chocolate sold at a pole event (and was ever thankful it was) but Dove chocolate is hardly pole related and if anything is a bit counterproductive to the fitness industry. Again, though the chocolate was YUMMY and made for a great treat after competing!

I loved their half handsrping thing, and cradle fan kick! I don't think we can expect to see what we know as pole on network television anytime soon, but that's ok. I think people seeing it in the light they did – still makes it look pretty hard and impressive. I think it might draw more people's interest to say the least. Good to see pole on more dance shows 😀
-
I really enjoyed what they did with the pole! They could have climbed better – only critique! I thought there were some unique transitions that I'd like to try. Great routine!

WOW! thank you Pankake! That's a lot of digging. It seems much fishier than before. I believe she also offered money for posting videos but I wasn't sure what she was talking about. Thanks everyone.

This was her initial message to me. I'm not assuming there is any funny business just not really sure what the story is.

When I get down, I ask myself "why did I begin this journey?" Was it to be the best pole dancer on the planet? For others approval? To show off flashy tricks? No. I kept poling day in and day out because it made me feel good, strong, powerful and sexy. I got trick addicted because I found an online community and started comparing myself to others in a time in my life where my femininity was bruised and battered. My self esteem was incredibly low and for a minute pole made it lower. Then came a moment when I realized that I pole for me, it's ok if I'm not strong and coordinated, if I beat ,us elf up Imwill never get to whee I want to go. I started letting go and opening my mind, heart and body to learning movement and it felt good. I rarely learn new tricks, I rarely use tricks in my dance and I love pole more today than ever. It was a long journey, but an amazing one. I've used my lack of strength to create versions and variations for myself, some have been great others not so great but now for pole is a creative outlet.
Mynadvice is ask yourself why you started, what really drew you in, and write it down place in your pole room and never forget that 🙂
