    January 6, 2012 at 3:47 pm in reply to: Why is Studio Veena Bias towards X-Pole?

     PP says "Shame on this web site for not promoting all companies and products Thi should be a non-bias website promoting pole, not companies."

    Veena's site is whatever she wants it to be. It's her site. Not sure when she handed you the reigns. I'm not gonna read all of this thread b/c I already read the last one but what I will say is PICK YOUR BATTLES.

    I had this type of persistent rash on one part of my arm. I eventually got it biopsied, like a section cut out… they came back with apocrine miliaria.. fox fordyce disease… it basically is inflammation of the sweat glands. All you can do is don't touch, don't itch, and don't shave often. Mine was in the underarm and has been significantly better since I stopped using deodorant and shave only twice a week. Ask for a biopsy don't assume it's nothing or in your head. If you're constantly annoyed by it, keep pushign for answers. good luck

    pleaser is the best. I have 2 Ellie's but, the plastic around the toe is too tight and the toe part of the heel comes "up"… I don't know how to explain… like pleasers toe area is closer to the ground… ellie's toe area curves up… looks elfish…

    November 10, 2011 at 4:14 pm in reply to: Comps…what do you think?

    Hi~ I think having audience vote for something like "most energetic" or "most creative" would be fine for a LIVE audience. As long as judging is fair and the real 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are announced as well. But these online voting comps are, to be frank, silly. Why would I vote for someone online, I haven't seen their routine, I wasn't there, and I don't believe competing is a popularity contest. If it were, why would we need judges at all? I also don't appreciate people spamming my wall asking for my vote on x,y,z. A private message is ok I guess, but I just don't like voting online at all. All that being said… sometimes judges are not outside 3rd parties. Sometimes they are friends with or even employers or employees of the competitors and thus judging is biased. In that situation, having the audience input would be a nice nod to those contestants who deserved to place but didn't.

    thanks! I know you west coasters think we are silly but it was SCARY!!!! And the animals knew prior. The zoo animals were going crazy and apparently my dog, being watched at the grandparents, actually ran away and he never does that. (since been retrieved). I was at the doctors (in virginia) and everything started going batshit crazy and i yelled at everyone we gotta get the fuck outta here!!!!!!!!! and we ran outside… everyone had their natural disasters mixed up though. some were like run to the basement (tornado)… haha

    SO happy to hear that!! There was an article in the post the other day about hemochromostasis… something about a gene causing iron overload. This guy had it and they didn't diagnose him. They kept insisting he must be an alcoholic but he wasn't. Finally they checked ferritin levels and found it was the gene abnormality. Doctors are very much in teh PRACTICE of medicine, at best.   I'm so happy for you

    How do you all get your diagnosis of Crohns? I have been trying to get a diagnosis and they won't do it! I have one erosion in the terminal ileum and inflammation but the bloodwork says negative for Crohns. They can't relaly get in the small intestine with a colonoscopy and I continue to have pain. It's been 6 months now of pain in there. Did you do a capsule/video study? How did they diagnose?

    I have been following your post as it is of particular interest to me. I am supposed to have a liver biopsy this month. I may have autoimmune hepatitis. The other thing they keep throwing around is eosinophilic vasculitis and/or Churg Strauss. Please ask them about these two things. Also ask if it could be Behcet's disease. I hope they have checked his IGE level and sed. rate. Also his F-actin smooth muscle serology. Please keep us updated. xoxo

    May 12, 2011 at 11:02 am in reply to: How much room to allow between poles?

    I  believe you should have enough room to stretch arms overhead to pointed toes between poles without hitting. That NEVER happens though in studios. It's a safety issue that is avoidable too, when girls hit each other it makes them scared to do anything and it's awkward. There's always someone who is a no-show so I believe having one less pole in the room would be a good idea. I HATE feeling cramped especially when we're supposed to be feeling free and sexy… claustrophobia does not go along with those feelings!

    May 9, 2011 at 6:12 pm in reply to: Pole and breast size

    Another thing I hear from men is not that they "like all sizes" but that the overall proportions are what is important. If you're a bigger gal with big boobs it looks right. If you're tiny and have small boobs it looks right. It's about proportion to them. Hence, Heidi Montag's gigantor boobs look ridic.  I wish women and men would realize the PURPOSE of breasts. To feed an infant. It don't matta if you're an A or D… if it can feed a baby then it is serving its purpose the way God intended.

    May 7, 2011 at 12:21 pm in reply to: coping with anxiety?!? 🙁

    Journey said it, your mind can be your own prison. I feel that way. I can't really comment on depression issues… but as far as anxiety, it is a real problem. Someone on an earlier post said for teenagers the idea of being medicated for depression was "baloney" and to SOME extent I agree because ALL teenagers are at a rough time and all teenagers think highschool is difficult and it's just something to go through, not something that needs medicating. As a teacher, it was especially hard hearing about children who are on medicine when it's just their personality… they're just shy! But if you are an ADULT who has their life pretty much together and STILL have anxiety with physical symptoms like chest pain then YES it is real. I have chest pains and racing heart. My heart beats at around 95 even just sitting around. I'm in the process of going to docs to make sure my heart itself is ok. It if is.. then they said they could prescribe me Xanax if I wanted it. I do NOT want to become a zombie but lately I have been feeling like I am nearing the end of my life. I'm scaring my husband. If it is just anxiety and I'm really ok, then I would think Xanax would be a healthier alternative than talking doom and gloom all the time like I am.

    Hi ladies,

    I have just cancelled my spot in Marlo's 4pm class for May 1st if you wanna jump on that. I had an appendectomy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

  • I am disappointed. I'm sure the girls worked so hard, but, I am surprised to not see more advanced level moves… Jades… twisted grip… iron x… something to "wow" people and make them vote for them and the judges to be impressed with. Simple spins really aren't going to do it. HOWEVER the judge D-trix was so lame. He basially was saying he couldn't get over his own penis. Couldn't look past the sexy side. That sounds like a personal problem to me. He gave them a bad review even though he admitted it was his own personal prejudice that he couldn't see past. That was super lame. "I'm a guy"… that was his excuse…. he sucks.

    There is a hotel literally across the street from symphony space called hotel newton, I think. We stayed there last year and it was awesome being so close. It is kinda crappy though so looking for ideas on where to stay that's a bit nicer?? thoughts?

    And Rena, the seating chart online is stupid… but if you zoom in really close they actually show little people sitting in the chairs so you can tell which way is front. The stage is towards the top of the page.
