You automatically think about climbing the pole when you hear the song "The Climb" by No Doubt which has nothing to do with pole dancing.

I tried several different searches because I’m interested in them aswell, now. All I’ve been finding is socks with open heels AND toes so I think what I would end up doing is trying my hand at creativity by adding material to cover up my toes and turning them upside down so the open heel is on top of my foot. I’m no good with making stuff so adding would be easier for me.

[DragonPhoenix]

I couldn’t find them anywhere either, I’m beginning to think the girl may have had the socks upside down, the hole on the top of her foot being meant for the heel.

I’m not sure what those are called exactly but I’ve seen ’em before

I have no idea what these shoes look like, I haven’t heard of them until now. It makes me wonder if the shoes would get messed up and look crappy after opening so many bottles unless they’re made to take that sort of pain. I would be too worried about messing them up https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Oh.My.God….

He makes himself sound like a professional https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

1. WTF does he mean? The majority of pole dancers look like sluts? WHATever! I haven’t seen a single one so far, that’s just a rude comment. I didn’t know we could look slutty from the face we have. Shame on us for being pretty! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
2. This one is probably the only comment I don’t find retarded.
3. I can’t believe he made that comment. What he needs to do is see regular dancers that just dance on a floor since he isn’t into the whole pole dancing thing.
4. ALWAYS go for clear heels? No way! >.< ….I really like them but come on, variety is the spice of life! Why do just clear heels when you can have pink sparkly ones or black patent leather knee-highs? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif
5. People need to realize that HD may not always be an option. I like watching crystal clear videos but I will also watch medium quality aswell, not caring as long as I see the dancing and poling good enough ^^
6. The "spread eagle"? The only time I ever see that term used is when a guy is referring to a woman on her back with her legs spread. Thats… I don’t know how to take it really, I do feel like giving him a good swift kick though for some reason. It’s clear at this point that he has no knowledge on pole dancing, else he would have referred to it as the correct move https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif. It’s not all about trying to turn men on either >.>
7. I had to roll my eyes on this one because all this guy is interested in is seeing a woman in a certain position he prefers in bed. I think Leigh Ann looks hot when she slides across the floor on her elbows and knees but a whole minute or so doing just that? Of course he would want to see just that because he’s likely sitting in front of his monitor looking for things to touch himself silly to. A big fat eye roll at him once again https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
8. The problem with this suggestion in my opinion is that some pole dancers find it on the difficult side to do all the moves they’d like to while wearing a mini skirt or tube dress unless its not tight, which I’m thinking this guy probably wants since it would be hugging curves and all. This is all good if the girl is doing basic moves or non at all next to a pole and all she’s doing is sliding around on the floor with her face against it while her butt is in the air, which is exactly what this guy apparently prefers.

He needs to go to porn sites for the type of thing he’s looking for, not YouTube. I hope Leigh Ann got a laugh at this, she’s too awesome to need suggestions from a horny goof like that guy.

I’ll list three so far and my favorite videos by them (so far too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif ). They’re in no particular order!

I actually like the scent of some of the mens’ deodorants out there, the one I started using is Old Spice High Endurance Invisible Solid "Fresh". It doesn’t smell over-powerful like most of them do but I kinda smell a little on the dude-ish side so I spritz myself with a perfume or body spray to help. I haven’t bothered to get the usual Secret in that powdery scent lately because I just use that.

You can also find personal body wipes, I’m not sure what they’re called exactly but it’s supposed to make you feel refreshed. I would just go with baby wipes though, since it’s practically the same thing.
sidenote about those baby wipes: they were the original face wipes that takes makeup off quite nicely before a bunch of companies started making facial cleansing wipes. I prefer the good ‘ol cheap variety, the baby wipes!

Also, I noticed that I got bumpies after shaving so I switched to using my conditioner instead of shaving gel and used softer pressure. The conditioner makes my skin soft too, which is a plus.

I had someone comment on 1 of my youtube pole videos yesterday saying

"hey its a poll dancer thats flexible. who cares shes just a slut anyway. "

its so wrong that we get judged,but i dont think wel change some peoples views https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif x

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I can most guarantee that person isn’t flexible at all and saw how awesome you were in the video and couldn’t resist making a nasty comment to make them feel better. That’s usually what people who are insecure about themselves do, go out of their way to put others down. That’s exactly what this person did, spent at least two minutes typing up a rude comment when they could have spent that time searching for ways to become flexible. The person doesn’t even KNOW you so how the hell would they know if you’re a slut or not?. It’s a lot easier to do this rather than get off their a$$ and work on happyfying themselves.

I feel sorry for those who do this.

If people don’t understand how pole dancing is not an art after you explain to them in crystal clear what it is exactly, than it’s not worth your time explaining anything else to them. I always thought pole dancing was trashy and for attention whores but I realized on my own, after watching video after video on YouTube that it’s NOT trashy at all.

Also, they don’t realize that a pole dancer has to wear less so their body "sticks" to the pole, it has nothing to do with trying to be a slut. Sure, some may wear a lacey bra and a thong while they pole but who cares? If a woman wants to feel sexah and show off what poling has done for her body while they dance and practice their moves then good for them, it’s non of anyone’s business but your own.

Here’s a video I sent a couple of my online friends that replied with a "WOW" and a "….thats epic", also one of my all-time favorite ones. This truely IS art https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif ‘ello there, fellow MDer https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

It’s suprising how many reside on the east coast, especially in MD and surrounding states ;o . It’s pretty awesome here on this site, I’ve learned quite alot in my short time here (haven’t touched a pole yet, though) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

[DragonPhoenix]

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I would like to be added aswell, thanx! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I think it’s nice of him to offer https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Since he told you he doesn’t know what to do with his money and wants to help you out, then it’s not bad at all. Maybe you can even invite him over to watch to practice sometimes and help you with some moves aswell (support your back with some upside down stuff & whatnot). He may even find it interesting enough to give it a try aswell, who knows!

You can also offer to help him with things around his house or something, work off the payment since you want to pay him back but you’re short with money atm. I’m the same way, I hesitate when people offer things https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

…I need hoodies. Seriously. Sexy hoodies with OVERSIZED hoods. I’m so tired of stupid hoodies made for tiny heads that don’t have massive hair.. I want one that covers like… at least a fourth of my face and looks super hot. Stretch material.

I haven’t seen any oversized hoodies that don’t look goofy yet but I thought this set is pretty darn cute, it has a hoodie but not a oversized one unfortunately. Did I mention it’s cute? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Welcome to the site! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Here’s the article on things to know before buying a pole, there’s some you shouldn’t get because they’re not made very good at all and end up collapsing as a result, which could cause serious injuries and then there’s a list of some good ones, the X-Pole being one of them https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Since I haven’t touched a pole yet and likely won’t be getting one for a while, I can only say what I would likely tell people that call it a "stripper pole". First off, it’s not much different from poles you see in a gym that gymnastics whirl around on, a pole is a pole and people choose to do whatever they want to do on them so technically, it can’t be labeled one thing. Everyone uses their pole differently, some may not mind calling it their stripper pole while others prefer to call it their dance or fiteness pole. I personally, might call it "my x-pole of fitness awesomeness" and snap my fingers in their face (playfully of course, I’m not a snob lol) since it IS an awesome fitness tool https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

I’ve been thinking on having a little dancey room built in the future, seperate from the house and my guy pal made a joke about calling it "The Booty Barn" when I mentioned getting like 3 or 4 poles for it so I could have pole jams there and I’ll totally do it too LOL …name it that. He said he’ll make the sign too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif Hello! Another Marylander here *cheeres* https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif

I’m still pretty new to the site, haven’t even touched a pole yet but I’m fiending to https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif . Hopefully I’ll be able to join in on one of the meet-ups sometime soon. Everyone on here seems so very friendly, supporting and helpful. I’m pretty suprised at how many live here in MD too https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif

27 (current age). It hasn’t even been a year yet and it’s actually quite funny how I got interested in it, I found a free pass to the Ritz Cabaret in Baltimore in the b/f’s pants pocket while I was cleaning clothes so I was like wtf? and looked the place up online, saw it was a nakey strip club then I started looking up pole dancing because I was jealous, wanted to see what type of crap he was going off to see. I clicked on one of Veena’s videos on YouTube, this one to be exact: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-dR3Ya8ug0 and I was hooked. I signed up on here the same day too and I can’t stop looking for new pole vids on YouTube hehe. I’m addicted to REDKE71’s A-Z pole moves aswell, the Dove is one of my favs and I thought her kitty constantly showing her lovins throughout the vids was so cute lol.

Thanx for the sites, everyone! I just added some more to my profile and will continue to do so as I see ’em https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

[DragonPhoenix]

Glad you all like it lol

I’ve seen pictures of bruised up girls from poling, including a big knot on a forehead before. Its interesting to know what areas get bruised more and the names of a couple moves that may cause them, if you haven’t touched a pole just yet… like me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_silent.gif

Lol that’s funny! If it helps, I think I got outer calf ones from reverse hook spins!!

I’m not so good with areas but here’s another one in Frederick MD, 21704. I have never been to a studio before but I think this one is quite pretty. You can’t judge one by their looks though, I suggest asking for a couple trial classes or whatever it is that some studios offer that allows you to pay for a couple classes to try out the studio/enviroment to see if you’re comfortable with where you are, before buying a membership.
