    I'm not sure if this could be what you had in mind but here another example of spiraling down at 1:20

    I love heels. I've noticed since pole dancing I've become more comfortable in higher heels. For me finding comfy shoes is a hit and miss. Try wearing them around the house as soon as you get them so you can see if your feet will start to hurt or not and if you should return them. You can try styles with a bit of a platform in them to take the edge off. Also being 6'1" in gorgeous heels is nothing to avoid 🙂 You should totally show yourself off!

    Also if you stick with it inverts in shoes will become as easy as without. It just takes time to adjust

    I usually learn a new move in barefeet and then switch over to heels. I practise mostly in shoes but now I feel like I need to give equal time to both. I think because I've been neglecting barefeet poling, my toes aren't as pointed as they used to be even though I try to point them in heels.

    Hi Luvlee

    I was referring to this site in my latest post as far as labels and colours:

    http://itac2.com/

    The first site I used is now out of service. The 2nd site was microfiber.com and I just ordered from itac2.com (regular strength) because I read on ebay that Itac2 Extra Strength equals level 4 and that regular equals level 2 which is what I had originally. I hope that's why I see such a difference and that regular strength will be like what I started with. 

    I'll post back about the regular strength when I get it.

    Thanks for the response Cap & Chem

    I'm so sure it was level 2. Even though the old container doesn't say.  At the time I ordered, I think the website recommended that level for polers and the design had little pole dancer silhouettes on the container.

    @Chem & Luvlee: It definitely dried out but I remember the first time I used it I was practically glued to the pole whereas in this container that says extra strength feels slippery. I'll try it more in depth over the weekend with pillows and put an update to say if it worked or not. (I'm so not interested in falling out of a holly drop even with padding!)

    Also, the site doesn't seem to offer Itac in levels anymore. On the pole page the container pictured says level 2 but when you click to buy the choices are Regular or Extra Strength and the labels have different colors for different sports.

    This tutorial by EmotionCatcher helped me:

    I kind of had to play with the positioning of the bottom arm. It also clicked for me after I made sure to further roll back on to the shoulder until my balance felt secure enough to lift my legs.

    I think you are a beautiful vibrant women with a beautiful vibrant smile to match. Something about your awesomeness must've hit a nerve if she actually needed to take time out of her day to try and bring you down. I really believe misery loves company. Congratulations on your engagement this is a special time in your life!

    November 24, 2012 at 12:36 am in reply to: Constipation

    For myself whenever I have a regular (at least once a day) intake of chopped up strawberries mixed with blueberries or half an avacado diced mixed with half a grapefruit. Everything runs smoothly. I also have to try not to over do eating too much bread type stuff or I have trouble. Without my regular dose of the above fruits my system just stays at a stand still. Also lol@Sascha, I know right. I'd only have a discussion like this with my closest friends or the entire Veener community!

    I love the sexy side with shoes. I am trying to become more advanced for the contemporary style. I die everytime I see Pole Art competition vids. They are just so wow!

    If it's a sexy walk I like to drag my feet and stick out my chest and butt. If it's a contemporary music walk then I try even harder than normal to be on my toes and keep them pointed.

    As Giedre posted I have downloaded songs before from torrent sites. I think a constructive way to handle an issue like this would be to report copyright infringements to site administrators or flag illegal distribution of someone else's material whenever possible. You can also email links of material being leaked to the polers who created the product so they can take action as they see fit

    November 13, 2012 at 1:37 pm in reply to: can anyone else not touch their toes?

    I think it was about 30 seconds each side and I was able to touch my toes right after.  Another thing that helped me loosen up a bit more was sitting with one leg bent, foot pointing inwards (near the crotch not out behind the butt)  while you stretch towards the opposite leg and then go into a straddle and stretch to the sides and towards the middle then try and touch your toes.

    When I couldn't touch my toes my little sister told me to sit in a straddle position and stretch towards one side reaching for my toes and then repeat on the other side as well as stretch towards the middle. Then, try and touch the toes. It worked for me. You can try and see if it makes a difference with your progress  🙂

    I guess I just get bored of the same name or times change and I feel like something else suits me more. So when I open up a new account somewhere else I don't re-use a former name.

    November 6, 2012 at 10:30 am in reply to: Push Past or Body Break?

    Thanks Chem and Veena 🙂  I think now I've got the placement right but I have layed off of the move for the last couple days. It was the first two times I tried it where I was probably a bit off but I'm not sure for this move what would be considered normal soreness and what would be a warning for injury. If anyone can tell me what was normal for them when they learned this I'd really appreciate the input.

    November 6, 2012 at 5:06 am in reply to: A Question About Loving Yourself

    I'm with Paunobs. I've read bits and peices of info here and there people who live a more solitary life die sooner than people with loved ones. I think it's almost a biological instinct to seek affection. There are even cases of animals that will assimilate to other species or try to form an attatchment with them if they are isolated from their group.

    November 6, 2012 at 4:49 am in reply to: Keeping this site clean..

    We all have different tastes which is totally fine with me. I just found the word trashy to be too harsh to describe the photos of another member here. I think Golgotha had an interesting point. I've seen lots of explicit content on facebook but I've never heard of anyone trying to clean it up out of fear it will reflect poorly on them. If you are secure with yourself the way someone else chooses to portray themselves shouldn't matter enough to put them down.

    The ones at my local studio are 4×4. I just ended up buying a bunch of huge body pillows from walmart and plan on sticking them together with velcro when I have time. They are 20in. wx48in. L/51cm x 122cm. Two layers makes me feel safe!
