litter you are the best!! Thank you so much!! 🙂 It's so nice to know that I have the support of people I don't know and know through the computer. Family isn't about blood, and it's something I have surely learned. But just because my mom would do something to this extent, I will never turn my back on my kids and this is more than a blessing in disguise. I will keep my head up and keep pushing through. You know what they say, when you meant to be great, life makes sure you want! Xoxo <3 you guys and thanks to anyone who can help. If not you can’t that isn’t any problem just share my account on your social media sites. $1 makes all the difference https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_heart1.gif

I don’t think its USPDF that printed it though, right? So maybe if you contacted them and let them know about it, and ask for a refund… that’s terrible!! I saw them at the competition, and the one I looked at didn’t seem to have all those mis-prints, but maybe I wasn’t looking carefully either. To pay $40 for a calendar, you should definitely get your monies worth and it doesn’t sound like you did…

I know they didnt personally print them but they place they had them done, should have caught something like that.

I sent them an email earlier this week, it was kinda rude but not to bad. Just me saying that all I want is the right printed calendar. I cannot use it and I really dont want to feel like I have litterally just wasted 40 bucks. I asked for either my money back or a new calendar, I dont think that is to much to ask for. Geezzee this really kinda sucks. I might just get screwed outta this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I really feel like I am going to get ignored. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif to bad…..

[JorShi]

OMG!! So much money but I broke down and bought one. I was sooooo excited to finally get it. I waited seriously 2 weeks to get it. I finally got home 2 days ago and found that it was there. jumping up and down with excitement. UNTIL…. I open it and start really looking at it. (I have been a graphic desinger for 5 years now, so I am very detail orinated.) To my surprise I was SHOCKED by what I had just spent a whole 40 bucks on. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

In my calendar they have January and October repeated after February and June.

So for instance, my calendar looks a little like this… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

January
February
January
April
May
June
July
October
September
October
November
December

Note: That these messed up dates also have two different girls on the month. So instead of a mirrored image of Karol, its Karol and whoever is on October.

This is absolutely ridiculous, I can’t even believe this got past everyone and that it was a shame their printer people didn’t tell then about this HUGE mistake. I was super stoked and totally ok with pay 40 dollars for a calendar. For hell sakes, it’s the awesome girls of this year’s USPDF, girls who I look up to. Then to come to find out that they have missed printed it horribly BAD and sent it out to people who paid a lot of money for it.

I would love to hang it up and support everything the USPDF and Pole dancing has to offer, but how am I suppose to support something and someone who cannot give a good quality product OR TAKE THE TIME to care about what they are selling to costumers.

I just want a calendar that is correctly printed, so I can have the product that originally intended it get.

I am sooo torn. I don’t at all want to lose any respect for these laides who run the USPDF but SERIOUSLY I am not ok with this at all. That is my hard earned cash, I can at least get the product you guys saw.

I need some help I do not know what to do…

This is a great post.
I LOVE to freestyle, I also do what Veena said. I think it still lets you play with the song and not feel like you have to do this or ugh, I messed that up in your head. Plus just remember your the only one who knows anyway so have fun with it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

MAY CHALLENGE! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/alien.gif

[JorShi]

I had an instructor tell me to sand down my calluses because they could break open and put a hole in your palm for a little bit. Because the skin is so hard and you are constantly strecthing it.

Any ideas on this?

[JorShi]

Thank you! That does make sense. I will just prepare myself like I would if I were going to class. I defintely think that the whole slippery chrome is what is really killing me.
I love brass but if I really ever want to perform and compete I will need to learn chorme. I just need to love my pole like I love them at class. I need to figure out how to slip and stick all at the same time. Lol, now how to do it for a whole hour. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif
Thanks Chem! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif

Hey ladies!
Glitter, I need motivation as well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif but just get on top of it. When you start to tell yourself, I will do it tomorrow, just get up and do it then. I am the worst when it comes to wanting to do cardio. I either have my bf rag on me until I do it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Probably shouldn’t cause I get mad at him but then he pulls the guilt card. Saying how he just wants to help me and so forth. That really just helps me get back on. I am the only one holding me back so if I want it so bad then why can’t I do it for myself. Plus I always remember I feel so much better after and I will see the results I want. One main thing, losing weight is a lifestyle change. You have to want it and do something about it for it to work. You just need to keep yourself moving forward. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I will help you stay motivated. You can so do it.
My updates

Do cardio everyday for 30 mins- Ok this is the same, but I have been super busy with pole classes before my pass runs out. I will be getting back to this, I really should do it even when I get home and its super late. FINE! I will do it tonight after class. UGH! But I really think this is the key to losing my stupid belly. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif It won’t go away no matter what I try.

Keep up strength workouts- Doing great! My pole classes have help. I am now working on inverting with my legs straight. I have got down without momentum but I can’t just lift them up. Working still, I have noticed that I am not as strong as I feel but then again I am doing new upside down stuff so I think the strength part will come with the new feeling of being upside down. Not sure if that made sense but do you know what I mean.

Be able to invert before April 1- DONE! Not sure if it was by April 1st but I can invert do the butterfly and crucifx. I also did the butterfly to flatline Scorpio. Not bad! I am learning how to kick up into the butterfly. For me not easier. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Be down to 127-130 by summer – This is looking good but I want to change my goal to 125 by the end of summer. I will be happy at that final weight. I am 131 now.

Quit soda all together- I have gotten so much better and I drink water all the time now. I feel full and not as tired when I am full of it. Ha ha

So there’s a little bit about how I am doing. I hope you all are doing awesome. We are all doing so well.

[JorShi]

@FreeTheSun – Thanks so much! That was helpful. I am going to start watching what I drink. This article was an eye opener for me https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif I really didnt know that water was that big. I mean I did know but it never actually clicked. My goal is to drink at least 3 of these arrowhead .5L as a starting and then moving up.

[JorShi]

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Thanks so much for posting this. HOW AMAZING! I have been looking for a way to lose that stupid last bit. JUST DRINK WATER, who’d a tunk. ha ha I’m glad that you shared, just really helped show and remind that you need water. Yay first day on drinking water.

How much should you normaly get in a day?

[JorShi]

Oh my gosh. Wait… the blonde. ha ha That is so funny. I think I saw you yesterday also. Sweet, well now you don’t need to feel like we dont know anyone. I agree with Luv2dnace. You are more than welcome to drive up with me. I live in Murray too. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I am taking the beg core again on Saturday. So I have to be done for that but I know we will have plenty of time. Definitely should come to my house when we do if you can make it. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh and I agree, I think my bf will feel better with me going to habits with girls I know and he knows actually like to do this. So I am so down to go!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Oh and I can bring my pole so we have 2 if need be. I just will need help setting it up. So let me know.

I cant wait till this weekend. It’s getting closer…

[JorShi]

YAY! Hello sage nice to meet you. Oh yes please do come it will be so much fun. Im glad you are on here the girls are amazing and so helpful. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Where are you taking classes at?

[JorShi]

This was great! Thanks for posting. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Love the whole studio soriee girls. I just did a 6 am class and it made my whole day. Hope you see you there one day! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

[JorShi]

YAY! I’m soo excited. I have been waiting so long to find someone here to enjoy this awesome sport with. I would love to try yours. Joel (Poledancefan) has a homemade one. So far, I can do all the basic spins, now working on being able to do them one handed. Pole sit, plank, climb, cradle, crucifix/inverted crucifix, I can sort of do the sad girl drop. (not sure if it’s the right way but it just happened). Did a half SM last night, totally not expected. I can invert but I am working more towards being able to just control it and use your core. Other than that I don’t have any crazy tricks up my sleeve. ? sadly, I am going to go home and try the inverted V I’m sure thou I won’t be able to do it. Ha ha, I’m pretty open on the weekends. I have a little man, but I can get a babysitter fairly easy. So like the 3rd weekend in April? Let me know when you can. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I’m so excited! I will email you my number.

[JorShi]

That is so cool. I thought about making my own but I don’t have anywhere I can mount it to, plus I got an awesome unexpected tax return so I had to buy an X-Pole. I would love to come try it out. And then you could come try mine. I have the standard 50mm. I love Mr. FreakNik https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Thanks I know I will enjoy them. OMGosh! I so will teach you. When would you like to do it? What all can you do?

[JorShi]

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Im poling for you to do one. Would love to see all of your moves. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

[JorShi]

Way close we should get together one weekend and have a pole jam. I have only been doing it since the beggining of the year. So not to long, I wish I was further than I am.
I have only taken one class, which is what got me into it. Then bought my own pole and just been using the site. I am planning on taking classes this next month cause they have their passes 50% off. So I can afford that. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif sadly. The studio is Studio Soriee, out in sugar house. Im hoping that with taking classes it will help me improve what I need and sharpen what I have learned so far. I could always teach you what they teach me. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheese.gif

[JorShi]

Glad to hear you are so close. I live in SLC just right off 4500 South. Have long have you been poling for? Ballroom that is so cool. I took it in HS and wish that I could do it professionaly. It’s so graceful and beautiful. Are you taking classes?

[JorShi]

Great pics, you look awesome for not really poling. BTW, Im so stealing your idea with your titles and making a little area. Can’t wait to see more. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

[JorShi]

I’d also cover up or take out exposed piercings because the jewellery can scratch up the pole!
This was my main reason. I put my pole on a pedistool, he is like a god to me. So why would I want to hurt him https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_question.gif
hehe https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif

[JorShi]

Just to be clear…this wasn’t about the shock value…but a real warning about something that may only rarely happen but isn’t worth it even if it only happens to you once!

We do keep surgical tape and large bandaids in the studio for students to use to cover piercings but the problem is they frequently do not stick well. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

Definietly not to shock but I’m thinking on this one I would rather learn from someone else mistake. I would die if it literally got ripped out.

[JorShi]

LOL, I will see what I can do about that. Maybe a little guest surprise on my videos. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif It’s so funny, little Utah! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[JorShi]

https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif OMG! OUCH! My mind is made up. I will now start taking it out. Not afraid of it closing up. That would be such a horror story. What if you didn’t quite notice and then it completely ripped it right out.

[JorShi]

Hey! youre not alone!!! i feel like my skin is getting ripped right off my muscle with every hold i do. It is incredibly painful and i HATE IT!! Its like the pole has invisible razor blades lol i wish more people would acknowledge the pain and bitch about it cuz sometimes i feel like im the only one lol https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

and BTW did you say Studio Soiree? You mean the chicks on those YouTube Expert Village vids? If you meet Niqui tell her she has a FAN!! lol i have all her vids saved in my favorites https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

Oh my gosh! I so will. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cyclops_ani.gif I will be taking classes starting in April. I am very excited. I took there flirty get to know the pole class and fell in love. I bought my own and started learning, I feel better about going now cause I have a basis and would like to now sharpen and better my skills. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif at least that is what my intentions are.

[JorShi]

Thanks V. I am just counting down the moments till I can leave to go home. I want to put my new knowlegde to the test.

Thanks again ladies.

[JorShi]

I can do the pole sit without any problems. Well, I stay put, ha ha my main problem is when I go to move into another move. It just kills. I finally was able to do the CKR and it hurts and leaves the funniest looking bruises https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
