Aw, thanks Chemmy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
My birthday falls on a Wednesday and Slam Jams is good for poling on Wednesdays – coincidence – I think not https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I’m a drugstore make-up kind of gal. I hear lots of rave reviews about Mac, but going into a department store bare faced to make sure I get a matching shade is just not happening. So, for now I use Loreal True Match.
Foundations seem to come with peachy (almost pink), orange or brown undertones and I feel I have more of a yellowly undertone and this is the only foundation that seems to match me.
In my opinion, the True Match powder doesn’t seem to coordinate correctly with the foundation. But I do like Loreal Translucience powder.
I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Loreals Double Extend Mascara (with beauty tubes) – this stuff is just plain awesome, first you put on white stuff that lengthens the lash, and then add to black mascara. I think it looks great and does the job of giving you bigger looking lashes. But, the best thing about it is that is washes off with water, you don’t have to scrub and scrub and you don’t get raccoon eyes – but you have to make sure you pick the version of Loreal Double Extend that says "beauty tube technology" on the package.
As for lip stuff, I usually pick up 89 cent Chapstick on my way out of Marc’s https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Best advice I can give though is to never sleep with makeup on, get at least 7 hours of sleep a night and eat properly. I am 41, tan regularly, have smoked and don’t have a single wrinkle. Yes, I have good genes but on top of that I always have taken my makeup off and moisturized my face since I started wearing makeup (in my teens).
Chem, you are totally a beauty freak of nature https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Every time I see you I am just in disbelief because the face (and body) definitely do not match the age. Kudos to you girl, you look awesome!

The two things mentioned seem the most obvious and simple. I would have those things ruled out.
I have no insurance, so getting anything checked is near impossible. I called a doc I used to see, explained I was having symptoms that could be related to thyroid functioning and asked them to provide an order for bloodwork (specifically to check thyroid levels) and they faxed it over to our local Urgicare center and I had the test there – it’s just a blood draw. Since you are already having a blood draw, you could also ask for a pregnancy test – I don’t think you need an order from a doc for that one.
Hope everything fares well.

Naw…it is pretty much anywhere your body hits the pole. It is frustrating when you know you can do a gemini/scorpio or hip hold and when you try you slide to the ground.
Frustrating for sure. And it seems the "fake" heat makes the pole sweat – so my choices lately have been cold pole with zero grip progressing to a warmed pole that produces sweat. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Grrrr!!
Any idea if a different finish would react better to these winter months of fake heat and cold temps?

I am having issues with video too – they play for a few seconds, then buffer for what seems like forever, then play for a few seconds, and then back to buffer https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_ncool.gif I used to be able to play videos perfectly, so I’m not sure why it has changed so drastically.

There isn’t a ton of info about this pole, but here are a few links to previous threads:

It was also mentioned in a few other posts. If you go to "Dance Poles" and use the search bar at the top of the forum page, you can type in Markstaar and pull up some additional info.

Awww, what a sweetie!! And you thought you were a Nascar widow https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif I got to meet Mr. Chemmy at Pantera and all I could think of is how great it must be to have someone who not only supports your interests, but shares them as well. Even Pantera took notice and was even seeking him out for the Q&A because he was so interested in everything! You are definitely a lucky gal!

Awww, Congrats!! You look gorgeous, like Wedding Barbie https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

Darn it, I hate lettuce . . . and veggies, and fruits and grains and basically anything healthy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_albino.gif

Happy Birthday https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif
Thank you for your wonderful contribution . . SV . . without it, my house would probably be a whole lot cleaner https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

That is a gorgeous studio!!!
I’m curious, what are those pink horseshoe shaped thingys?

Veena,
Do you know what the verdict is on whether stretching and warming-up will actually give you a better work-out?
Meaning, if I just hopped on the pole and danced for an hour, would my muscles receive LESS of a work-out than they would have if I stretched and warmed-up previous to hopping on the pole and dancing for an hour?
Or is the stretching and the warm-up not necessarily for giving your muscles a better work-out, but more for preventing injury?

OMG, please don’t you, or anyone else, feel a bit bad about offering your opinion – that is exactly what I asked for!
I was just trying to get an idea of how others would sit on this position knowing full well that each response is going to have it’s own spin because relationships vary so much from person to person and the little elements and issues that come into play are not the same for every one of us.
The odd part is that even though the responses vary, each person has mentioned a thought that has already run through my head – so, I’m not crazy here, maybe I have multiple personalities https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif , but at least I know the things I have thought and felt run the gamut of normal in terms of other woman having similar feelings.
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.

PDR, Thank You and so wonderfully stated. Everything you’ve said is what I truly feel. Should I not be allowed to take the kids to the water park anymore? I wear less there than I would to a bar! If I had to spend my life worrying about every guys penis and opinion, I better invest in a burka collection.
Then on the other hand, I don’t want to disappoint or disrespect my husband. But in my heart I know that I am not doing anything wrong – I’m not swinging around the pole thinking https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif Ha-ha, this is really going to piss him off https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif
At the time I wanted to go to this, I had just started pole. I didn’t even know how to invert and my objective for going was to see some awesome pole stuff in person; I probably wouldn’t have even had the guts to do a front hook spin; I just wanted to be a part of the fun and have a first hand experience at pole (my only other exposure to pole has been on youtube and SV).
The end result is me feeling judged and disliked by the one person who is supposed to love and support me.
In all honesty, this one event is just a culmination of events that have left me feeling pretty crappy. Our marriage is at it’s last leg. We are separated and he has been living elsewhere since July. I’m just re-living all the events that have lead up to this point and this one seems to linger. We just sit at two different ends of the spectrum apparently and neither of us has room to give.
Thank you all for your opinions. I’m always playing devil’s advocate and trying to make sure I see things from my husbands point of view, but the more I think, the more I start to realize it may be time to be my own advocate.

This is my problem, I can understand what every single person is saying!!!!
I just go from one end of the spectrum to the other and can’t seem to come to a consensus where I feel at peace with sticking at any one position.
