And to officially end this battle (in my mind, not meaning here on SV), I no longer feel a pang of wrong doing, as I just found out that soon thereafter he went to a bachelor party, at a strip-club, which I strictly forbid – okay, strongly requested that he did not go to, I’m not his mom. I told him it was fine to meet up with the group after the "event" and go bar hopping or what not, but told him I was definitely NOT okay with the strip club. He kindly agreed and then flat out lied, said he was meeting the group at a local bar, but went to the whole party – strip club and all. But, I would have been proud, he didn’t do anything wrong but go see some t****ies. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif
So, as far as I am concerned, I feel no guilt anymore and have further proved my point to myself that I am only 1/2 of this equation, and the other half is a giant, immature, disrespectful, piece of . . . . . butthead.
Oh wow… THAT was nerve doing. He didn’t want you going to a bar with a pole and have fun with a group of girls FULLY CLOTHED and you didn’t, even though you really really wanted to and he skippity doo-das to the nudey bar after you asked him not to. Thats a sure way to p*ss me off for sure and it is definitely not fair that you respected his wishes and he didn’t respect yours. It probably is better that you two live separately and from now on let him do his own thing and you do yours.
I have occasionally mentioned to my b/f about wanting to go to a strip club because I had never been to one before until months ago when I visited North Carolina and he never brought me along when him and his friend went nudey bar hopping and they apparently been to all of them in Dundalk and Baltimore (not in one night though), which made me feel crappy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Im glad i stumbled upon this post bc i was invited to go to a bar/club on monday w some girls from class and also David Owen and i want to go…… but im hesitant to bring it up to the hubs, bc im sure hrle wouldn’t want me to go and i totally understand why. But i think it’d be such an adrenaline rush to pole in public and show everyone that big girls can pole too!!! Plus it was an adrenaline rush poling in front of my family at our reunion!! I wish he could come w me so after my turn i could go cuddle w him so no creepers bother us! Not saying they’d bother me, but u never know! (Sorry for typos im on my phone)
Ask him https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
Let him know about that adrenaline rush you get when you show peeps the amazing tricks that can be done on a pole! Reassure him that all you want to do is have a good time with your gal pals and that you would even want him to go as well. He’ll probably be glad you asked him rather than just going out and doing it, it shows that you respect his opinion ^^

Going on an outting with friends to a bar with a pole sounds really fun https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif …but like amyxshi said, men are dogs and you might actually get unwanted attention from a drunk and that could possibly be one of the reasons your hubby is completely against the idea of you going to one. There’s too many people out there that get the wrong impression of girls pole dancing, regardless where its being done at and some guys might take it as an invitation that you want to pick a man up when you actually aren’t there do do that and try their luck with taking you home with him.
I can understand why you’re fuming mad though, you had the chance to have a good time with your friends but the hubby was against it and ruined it for you but you need to understand that its likely only because he’s trying to look out for you because he loves ya and doesn’t want any jerks trying to pick up on you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
Your Native American Pole Dancing Name is now Wild Spirit MommaBear btw. You might be married but dammit you still want to have fun and don’t care where you are or who is around. If you’re enjoying yourself then why care who’s around? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

The only good use for a Flirty Girl Fitness pole is keeping it handy as a weapon if someone breaks into your house. It would also look excellent as a floor-to-ceiling candy cane during Christmas, just twine some garland or ribbon around it to look like one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_dwarf.gif
As for pole dancing? Sure, if you live the dangerous life and wanna risk getting broke’t and sent to the hospital. It would be embarrassing having to tell the doctors "I broke my hip because my Flirty Girl Fitness pole collapsed", even the doctor would probably know they’re not the best pole to get https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
And Carmen Electra should be ashamed of herself for letting a lousy pole be manufactured with her name on it "Peek A Boo Death Pole" is more like it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_blackeye.gif . All people are paying for is a pole with her name. I’m making a bet there’s something in fine print somewhere, saying "Blah blah company is not responsible for any injuries, this includes broken bones that this pole might cause. Once bought, it is your responsibility to use it as safely as you can."
As for the Flirty Girl Fitness videos, I read some good reviews on them so those would probably be worth trying out.
Disclaimer: My reply is solely based on each and every review I have ever read on both poles. I have never tried out either pole before, nor do I ever plan to because I enjoy my never-before broken boned body to remain that way for as long as I can.

GAH! I’m liking ALL color options for these boots! First choice though is the black and then the pink https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

There’s no way I’ll be able to keep shoes JUST for poling, I’d have to wear them out occasionally too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif. They really do look hawt with low-rise bootleg jeans and with the weather getting nippy now, that would be perfect! I probably wouldn’t wear anything past 5 inches though, to a bar just in case some stumbling later on occurs. You don’t want to twist your ankle or possibly worse.

ooOOoh, I like those side-tie shorts http://www.sweetvixencouture.com/catalog/item/7002405/7757322.htm
Maybe add one with jade green on them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Like what chemgoddess suggested, I ALWAYS check craigslist for mirrors but no one remotely close by ever seems to give any away but I won’t give up https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif . I’ll probably end up buying one when the time comes when I finally get a pole. I can’t right now, where I’m at but I will be able to once I move to North Carolina though so I have plenty of time to try finding one or two being given away for free. I also have that IKEA mirror bookmarked, its a nice one but it’s a little thinner than I want.
I really like this one from Lowes:

I worked overtime and was able to buy the 6 inch pole o mat off of ebay It was like 330 with shipping 60 so 390 Amercian dollars. I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah, I forgot about the S&H… I was looking at the cheaper price and completely missed the shipping charges. It would be different though if I was buying one, I try to be as cheap as I can because hey… if you can save about $5 or so, might as well.
The total at The Pole Dancing Shop comes to $430 (American dollars)…with their $95 shipping charge. Thats quite a difference https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
I’ll have to remember to peek at e-bay too when shopping https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I REALLY like sandals with chrome or titanium bottoms (like Roxy-Pink’s in the second pic from the left on her profile https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif ). Here’s a must-have right here, I’m eying this pair like a cat eyes catnip *twitch*

I am!!
I am in BC Canada though…….Small relating to a size 8 or 9??
A size 8 or 9 would be more of a medium in American sizes. Here’s a chart that might help https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I have a couple suggestions:
01. Put it in the kitchen so you can mix pole in with cooking. Hold the spatula in your mouth and reach it over to turn the food at the right time, while you’re on it.
02. There’s only room for one so the couch has gotta go!
03. Be rid of the couch here too and push the bed in it’s place so you can use the bedroom as a pole room.
04. See about finding a studio apartment with all wood flooring https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Ok maybe #4 is the only serious suggestion https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif, it would be interesting to see the youtube vid on how to assemble an X-Pole, the one I have planned to get is a 45mm chrome https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I never got to meet her but I’ve seen her videos and a lot that people made for her and I think they’re all amazing https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
I know I don’t know very much about her but from everything I have ever came across about her, she was a beautiful person from the inside and out, and I wanted to find a picture good enough to post for her and this one caught my eye https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Some videos end up being a waste of money, I’ve seen some with horrible reviews on multiple sites before so I would make sure to read up on them before you dish out the money.
Good instruction = https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Bad instruction = https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gifSometimes I wish that alot of the girls on here had some instructional homemade dvds available for sale https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

This would be pretty nice but I’m still in Maryland and don’t plan on moving to NC until sometime after the school year is over (still making the plans and 2 out of 3 of my kiddies is in school up here https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif ). Asheville is the place in mind so I’d be a couple of hours away from you (3 hours from Cary & 4 hours from Raleigh, according to google map) when the big move happens.
I’m hoping to attend a pole jam if one is happening sometime after I’m settled in or throw one if one isn’t, though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Thats a good question, I did some research on this mat and it comes in two sizes, standard (2 inches thick) and professional (6 inches thick) and there’s some places charging up to $350.00, like amazon.com while Riley’s site charges 75 Euro, which is $97.95 in US dollars I THINK.
Here’s her site http://www.poleomat.com/
edit:
Ok, the 6 inch thick one is available only in the UK on her site. Amazon.com charges $350 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/?brand=PoleOmat&ref_=bl_sr_sporting-goods&node=3375301) and The Pole Dancing Shop charges $335 for it (http://www.thepoledancingshop.com/products/Pole%252dO%252dMat-(Professional)-(US-Only).html).Hope this helps some https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I don’t go to classes or even pole yet but I have a good idea of how long each classes are, and they aren’t very long at all, everyone deserves at least a couple of hours a week to themselves. You mentioned you stay at home 99% of the time and go to classes twice per week, thats only 2 days, an hour or 2 at the most each day that he doesn’t see you on those days but he does see you on the days you don’t go. He needs to understand how good this makes you feel and that you would go stir crazy if you stayed home all the time.
Your pole dancing progress is just like him going to school in a way, you both go to the classes to progress with what you’re doing so you’re better at it in the end. He really shouldn’t expect you to stay at home 100% of the time, you need that other 1% of time for yourself and you should have it because it makes you feel good. It’s only fair. Maybe you could compare your classes with his actually, he’s going to his to learn more and you’re going to yours to do just that, learn more too. It might not seem important like his classes is to him but it’s important to you and he needs to understand that. Staying cooped up in a house the majority of your days could possibly bring down your mood too so getting out at least a little can prevent that.
Like sosagely says about it being hard to tell the tone of someone through text though, I’m trying to be friendly and good natured about what I’m saying here https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif . I agree entirely with her as well with her reply. I just hope this doesn’t end with you giving up something you enjoy just to make him happy. Your happiness should be his happiness as well and he should be happy you get out a little and enjoy what he see’s while you pole, when you do get one for home.
It will also make you feel good to be able to show him what you can do and should also spice up your bedroom rawr too <3

Maybe have him sit down with you and watch some pole dance vids off here and YouTube, show him some beginner dancers, some that are on the same level as you or close and then some advanced ones like Leigh Ann, lolpoledancer1, Veena, REDKE, etc. When you’re able to get a pole for home, maybe ask him to help you hold some positions even if you don’t need the help. He might get that sense of being your partner again back https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

What makes me suspicious about it, is that it doesn’t say who teaches and the picture on the cover for that and another one from the same maker is from somewhere else, can’t be sure where though.
I tried doing a search on it for reviews elsewhere but I couldn’t find any, the place I could find had a direct link to the amazon page when I clicked for more info. I personally would skip it until I know for sure if it’s worth the $14.99 plus shipping & handling.

It does seem pretty crappy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif
It all depends I guess, I’ve gotten things a whole month later after ordering (completely different thing/site) but a company should always contact a customer about any delays.
I’ve gotten blocked warning messages before with websites I trust and my computer nerd b/f told me it’s usually nothing and to just delete my cookies, if it happens after that then avoid the website and all. I’m able to view it fine so I can plop their contact information here. I would e-mail them about your order with your tracking # or whatever it is they send in a confirmation e-mail to you (or should at least ;x ).
Email: mailto:orders@thepoledancingshop.com

Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/PoleDancingShopI was hoping to see a phone number somewhere but they don’t have one anywhere, that I could see https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

smb1989: I’ve been slathering on the aloe baby lotion, I’m hoping to see some improvement soon.
Cocoa Butter is also excellent for dry skin. I also like Avon’s Skin So Soft, it makes the skin cuddly https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
http://shop.avon.com/shop/product_list.aspx?level1_id=300&level2_id=303&pdept_id=344&cat_type=BMilk, almond oil and oatmeal is also really good so I looked up the recipe for a milk bath and this one is good:

While brainstorming decor ideas for a shed with little windows that I plan on converting into a pole room, I pictured curtains with Studio Veena’s logo on them! We NEED curtains! We HAVE to have them! A good idea, right? You know it is!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
Haha! Great that you actually bring this idea up after talking about it in chat today! Now all you have to do is ~fingers crossed~ https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I sure did! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I had decorating on my mind so much I didn’t even start with a hello to everyone that was on https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif , sorry about that *shifty eyed* https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif
