    June 3, 2009 at 5:07 pm in reply to: Stage names

    There’s a couple threads in here on stage names; one of them was started by me, lol.

    You can do a Google search for "stripper names" or "stage names" and get a list of common ones, to get your ideas going. But what it basically comes down to is just finding a name you really like and just using it.

    For me, when I put up the thread I had 3 or 4 people say they looked at my pictures and "Foxy" was the first thing that came to mind. I had thought of that, except it’s really really common. My real name is very unique and I take pride in it, so when it came to my stage name I didn’t want to settle for something common, either.

    Well, I’m also an anime fan. I love Japanese names. I mulled a few over in my head, like Mizuho, but most of them were hard to pronounce and sounded kinda off the wall. But I liked the name Rei (pronounced "Ray"). So I kinda thought that combining Foxy and Rei would be kinda cool. Got the best of both worlds.

    I had to think about it for a couple days; kept running other names through my head but Foxy Rei was just what stuck out the most. I finally decided that was it. I even bugged Veena to change my username on this site to it, too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

    But just make a list of names you like, and as you think them over and sleep on them, cross the ones that you don’t like anymore off the list. The girls on here could always give you suggestions on names, but you know yourself better than the rest of us and know what would fit your personality. Good luck!

    Oh I’d love it! Yes Veena you should make lesson DVDs and sell them! Put them in order: warm ups, cool downs, beginner moves, intermediate, advanced, could do separate ones for levels of spins and levels of inverted moves, transitions… oh the possibilities! Sascha awesome idea!

    I don’t have the money for the lessons here, but I’d definitely buy the DVDs! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif I would FIND the money somewhere!

    June 3, 2009 at 4:44 pm in reply to: Fingers Stiff & Hurt Now That I’m Pole Dancing

    My fingers used to hurt, but it went away… never went to see a doctor about it so I couldn’t tell you. Seeing the doctor may be a good idea…

    Sascha, as far as cracking knuckles (or any other joints) goes: the "cracking" is releasing air and gas that builds up inside the joints. That itself isn’t bad for you. What’s bad is the hyper-extending of the joints that people do to get the joint to crack. It does damage to the ligaments and tendons and such.

    I’m a chronic back and knuckle cracker. I try not to do it because I have to twist really far to get my back to crack, and/or bend backwards while pushing my fists up into the middle of my back (yes I can do that… not as easy as it sounds lol). I used to crack my knuckles to help "limber" them up to play my clarinet back when it was my major in college. Over the years I’ve learned just to bend my back or knuckles just a little bit, and if they don’t crack right away, I leave them alone. Takes a lot of willpower, though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

    So adamseve, I dunno if that’s something you do or if that could contribute to the problem or not. Is it the joints in the fingers itself hurting, or the knuckles???

    Well, Jungle, to quote Amcut in response to the thread about my husband not wanting me to post videos – people can masturbate to just about anything. Heck, some people out there would get off just from seeing your feet because they have a foot fetish, but does that mean that you should always wear socks and shoes in your videos???

    Hehe after that long, deep post I just did, now I go and say something like that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

    OMG i just saw this!!!! You are too hilarious!!!! God I love you!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    Ok now that I’ve fumed a bit I’m going to do a "Joel" post here:

    In psychology, there’s what’s called a conditioned response. It’s the process of conditioning a person or animal to have a response that they would normally have to a certain object to another. It’s the experiment with making the dogs drool when they heard a bell ringing because they associated that ringing bell with food over a period of time. The example they used in my psychology class was a young couple used to meet at the same big oak tree every day, then long after the couple broke up, the girl would still get warm fuzzy feelings whenever she saw that tree, even though the relationship was over.

    Unfortunately, society has a conditioned response to pole dancing, and in particular, to the pole. They automatically associate strippers with a pole because it’s how it’s always been used. It’s an icon of the industry. But it’s misplaced.

    In the Bible, people always quote that popular passage as saying that "money is the root of evil". But they are mistaken – it reads that "the LOVE of money is the root of evil." The money is often the catalyst to bring out a person’s evil tendencies. The money itself is not evil – it is amoral. It’s an inanimate object. Money can be used to do good things like the offering at church being used to build a new addition to the church. But it can also be used for some not-so-good things, which you can all think of your own examples for that.

    Applying the same reasoning here: a pole is not evil. It’s a THING. It’s not sitting in your room just radiating evil in a black void thinking to itself, " Oh I think I’ll make him/her do *this* tonight…." It’s a piece of frickin’ metal. It’s people’s own minds that add their own meaning to it and make them respond to it, whether that be to start pulling clothes off and humping it or to see it as a tool for spiritual expression and health.

    Most of us on this site see the pole as a tool, a piece of equipment, for the betterment of ourselves. Betterment can mean physically as most of us use it to work out and keep in shape, but it can also mean confidence in ourselves. We accomplish new moves and feel empowered, and it can also venture into the more sexual side where we show that we have confidence in our bodies and sexuality, but it is by no means sinful as we are not doing it to encourage lustful thoughts of each other, and we don’t watch each other to be tempted as such. And, like Jungle, for some of us the pole is a means of expressing ourselves on a much deeper emotional and spiritual level.

    A Christian college I went to for 2 years had dancing banned on campus. However, there was a girl who regularly performed "color guard" at the chapel services. She was doing interpretive dance using flags. Jungle’s praise dances are nothing more than interpretive dance using a pole – but at the same time, "nothing more" is an oxymoron as there is so much more to it.

    Religious or not, we all need to learn to let go of the response our society is conditioned to give to the pole and realize that this is a beautiful means of spiritual expression that can be just as moving and emotional as a prayer.

    In your support Jungle I posted this comment:

    "Dude people lighten up! Saying that a pole is evil just because it’s used by strippers is just as stupid as saying that the dollar bills used to pay those same strippers are evil, too. But people have no problems putting money in the offering plate at church, so why do you have a problem with someone choosing to dance using a pole? His dancing was in no way offensive – if you don’t like it, don’t watch it!

    Jesus in His day was thought of as a heresy against religion, too. "

    People piss me off…

    June 2, 2009 at 8:04 pm in reply to: X-pole against ceiling girder.

    Hmmm… Veena may overrule me on this but my guess would be that the pole would be fine on that girder. You’ll only have an inch and a half overlap on just 2 sides of the dome… you may end up putting up some sort of ceiling plate, either one that covers the whole surface of the dome or the one that fits inside the top of the dome, to help with stability. The one that fits inside the dome would probably work better, that way you have an entire surface as well as the rubbery ring on the rim of the dome putting pressure against the girder. Just make sure the wood you use is thick enough; so it’s not shorter than the rim and actually touches the girder.

    As far as your floors go, if you can’t even wear heels on the floor then perhaps you may want to get something to put under the base of the pole. It is a pressure-mounted pole and leaves pretty good dents in carpets so you may want to play it safe. No one else has had problems with hardwood floors but… hmmm I dunno. The rubber mat idea might work, and there are also a few people on here who have put their poles on small rugs and haven’t had problems (I’m not sure if an area rug would be recommended or not, though…), and that would be more attractive than the rubber mat. But once again, I’m no expert.
