Just FYI there’s a tech-related forum for these kinds of questions (no big deal, don’t worry https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif)
I use Windows Movie Maker – it sucks to be honest, but it works and it’s default Windows software. Go through your program files to find it. It’s easy to use, too, just import your video from wherever it’s saved onto your computer and go from there. You can also hook up your webcam and use it to record the video itself. They also have the text you can add to the videos.
If your computer has it (or you can’t find it), feel free to PM me and I can give you a run-through of the basics. I typed it all out for Jungle Cat once here somewhere and it was an insanely long post… lol.
EDIT: I ended up putting an entire How-To under the Tech-Related Forum if you’re interested.

I like the forum idea for now. Would serve the purpose. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Thanks, Veena!

I have a "My sexy Little Pole" at first I was very happy with it. It’s my first pole and I have had it for about two months. About a week ago I noticed that one of the seams in the joint is starting to flair out and you can see where the bottom section of the pole is pushing itself farther into the top section. I believe this is whats causing the flair. It is becoming dangerous to use. I would not recommend it to anyone. Will be getting an x-pole as soon as possible.
This is exactly what my Carmen Electra (same thing as peekaboo) did that was the last straw before I got my x-pole. Mine only did it after 3 weeks.
I wouldn’t recommend any pole that has slide-together joints like this just for that reason. X-Poles joints screw together and I think Lil Mynx are one-piece poles.

I like it, Berty! I actually had a similar idea myself, because I’m one of those people who has no pole pals. Sascha is the closest to me, and she’s a little over an hour away when she’s at school (about 3 from her hometown). So far, she’s the closest and that’s just a bit too far to try to get together. :-/
If we can’t have a search engine like Berty said, how about a map or something with "pins" with usernames on it? Or lists of states, etc. with the names so at least the field is narrowed? Anything like that would be fine by me.
And if possible, if we get this option, could we have privacy settings that our specific location isn’t visible on our profile??? Like we show up in a general area or a mileage radius on the search engine but doesn’t display the exact town or whatever. I’m personally from a small town, I don’t mind saying I’m from the Southern Tier of NY but other than to the more trusted friends I have on this site, I don’t like getting more specific than that. Saying I’m from Xville in NY is different than saying your from something like NYC… you know what I mean???

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I laughed my rear-end off at the "what?" conversation because I’ve had that exact same one with my husband almost every time he watches me!
I’m not sure what it is. It feels like a lot of pressure having those eyes on you. I wouldn’t mind being a huge goofball and everything in front of friends, but the significant other is the one who seems to matter. Even when I do practice in front of him, I feel the need to talk to him constantly! Every time I stop to wipe off my hands or something I have to explain what I’m doing. Every time I fail at a move, I have to express the frustration verbally. Normally when I’m alone I don’t even say anything if I hurt myself – my mouth is shut the whole time. It’s like normally I can internalize all my thoughts and the thinking-through involved in practicing and it all just goes out the window when there’s a person there and I have to say it all out loud. Loose focus completely.
Unfortunately I’m in the same boat and have no idea why this is or how to get out of it. So I’ll just commiserate with you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

Oh Glitter… now I feel so bad for putting the superman into my last video… I actually thought about not putting it in there because I was worried I’d make you feel bad… now I feel absolutely horrible especially since you used that as a specific example. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif If it makes you feel any better Shelby’s video had me feeling a little down, too, because I want that SM so bad! However I’m really happy for her that she got it. She deserves it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. I may be a fast learner, but I know I don’t have the proper technique and form half the time. Everyone learns at their own pace and in their own way like Veena said. So please don’t take it personally if someone gets a move that you’ve been working on forever… Like I said in the description of my last video, even though you haven’t gotten the superman yet, I still owe it to you for me getting it myself! And if I were rich I’d fly out there right now and we’d so have a pole jam and compare notes on moves.

OMG I’m glad you’re ok after that accident! If it weren’t for the mustang emblem on the car I wouldn’t have known what part of the car I was looking at!
But welcome! I’m still talking with you in chat so I’ll get back to that now https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

Okie dokie, Veena, I’ll be around. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif Those shots are never fun for the little ones… my daughter lucked out at her last visit and she’s done with them for the next 6 months.
And yes, Heather, get that computer fixed so you can join in on the fun! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Oh you girls are great! Maybe I’ll just have him read this thread like untamedshrew and see what he thinks…
It’s hard because I don’t think he entirely understands the atmosphere here. And neither did I at first! I was in regular shorts and a long tank top in my first video. So maybe I should show him some videos (mine and others) and the comments they get and see if that expands some understanding, too.
I really do see this from all angles… part of it is this is my little venture and I need to be able to share it and get feedback and all. I think he needs to have a little more trust in me and all that. However, I agree with PinkKitty that this is marriage and we need to be in agreement about this and I shouldn’t do anything that upsets him. I just don’t want to resort to the extremes of not putting up videos at all or just doing it anyway. It’s hard because I agree with all of you 100% but that’s pretty much impossible!!!
Oi… let’s hope I’m very articulate when I go to have a more civil discussion with him about this…

Oooo that would be cool! I’m on the east coast so maybe I’ll just turn on chat and stay there and see if anyone shows up… Praise God for the Tabbed browsers! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Well I talked it over with my husband (well we actually got in a fight) and I took my older videos down. Same with most of my profile pictures.
He saw the picture of me in the black dress that I had for my default profile pic and he was mad because he thought that was something just for me and him. Kinda not as much fun for him knowing the rest of the world has seen it… So then he went on to say that he just wishes that I gave him a heads up about what I was posting (pics and vids). He said it wasn’t that he necessarily would tell me not to or anything though. He just wants to know what is going around of his wife on the internet.
This blew up plenty, but the end result is that I really should respect the fact he asked me to involve him in this process and I didn’t. I asked him what he did and didn’t have problems with in pics and vids and he said he didn’t mind our challenge videos (like this month is Amateur night, and as long as I’m not wearing a garter or something like that, he doesn’t care because it’s a theme and everyone is doing it) and he doesn’t mind the sports bra and shorts outfits. He doesn’t like the regular bra and undies and sexy outfits. He prefers those kind of things remain private, because after all, one of the perks of marriage is exclusive "enjoyment" of one another.
So I think I can handle that. I took down all the old practice videos. My more recent videos will stay up for maybe another week or so. The last video I posted of the 5/16 Practice will be the first one to stay up because that one was ok (the My December one is probably over the limit, but it’s my best dance yet and I don’t want to take it down yet…). I left the Why Peekaboo Sucks one up, though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif
If anyone wants any of the videos, PM me and we’ll work something out.

Is the pole more between your knees or your thighs??? The pole should end up between your thighs but just above the knees, so squeezing with your knees should help get a better grip. Try resting your back on the floor and put your legs up on the pole and mess around with your grip; then pull down on your legs to test it.
Just an idea https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I wouldn’t use lotion. Can be bad for the pole and it could be dangerous if it’s too slippery. It’s kinda a motto not to use any lotions or oils and such when you pole.
How long have you do your pole? Stainless is the worst with grip when it’s brand new and gets grippier the more you use it. Have you had it for a long time and it’s just getting too grippy now??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif
