Cantetinza and Zoey, check out the Rara photos that I posted on my profile. They are so fun!
-
I have one side, but don't think I'll have the other by Christmas. That's okay…
-
It's such an amazing feeling, isn't it? You will have many more moments like this. It's why we're all addicted!! Congratulations!!

rdgcleveland. I agree with Luvlee. Sometimes it's just the timing of a post. Everyone on here strives to be as helpful as they can. I'm sorry that you felt Chemmie was being rude, but I will say that she is one of the most helpful people on this site. I feel strongly that she wasn't trying to be rude or condescending. She is a very matter of fact person and was just stating that she has helped others on this subject before. I hope that you received the help you needed and are inverting away!

I can invert and hang upside down like nobody's business, but I don't do headstands or handstands. I can drop from an Inverted Crucifix and do a handstand with a booty wiggle, but that's about it. I have a huge aversion to them. First, I have a long history with wrist injuries and I know how much pressure handstands put on them. I also have pins in my head, so headstands will never happen. I do see lots of ladies start against the wall and move their feet as close to their head as possible before tucking the knees up and extending the feet. If I could physically do either of these, that's how I would do it. Take your time. You don't have to be able to do everything!! Plenty of awesome moves out there…

I just went over the outfits I'm going to wear and the best backgrounds! I'm hoping to get my photos taken and sent on Friday!!! I am soooo excited!

Hahahaha!! I love it Glitter!!…and you know my story on eatabagofdicks,com (hehe)

You already know how much I admire and love you!! I will say that when I was growing up I got teased mercilessly for how bony I was. Like abcollins said, people are going to criticize no matter what. I hope she did get reported as Chemmie stated. I also always ask who people are on FB if they friend me (ask azblanco!). Even if we have friends in common. I did that recently with someone. She turned out to be harmless, as she was just looking for pole buddies (I refferred her here), but I don't know her otherwise. Sounds like your "stalker" was just a rude bitch (or bastard!) who probably doesn't have any real friends. You on the other hand, have lots of true friends who love you no matter what! A glittery, cupcake, unicorn, beer drinkin', taco eating, bride-to-be, awesome poling maniac!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

By the way, when you sign up for this deal they just add 365 days onto your existing subscription. They do not cancel your current one as far as I know.

Armonia, go to the bottom of your screen and click on "Contact Us". You will get a quicker response.

Do you have Veena's lessons? She has fantastic stretching tutorials that include hip flexors.

I can make pig noises. The little snorting sounds from deep in my throat, not the squealing. I don't share this with many people.
-
Hi PoleChef…try this thread…lots and lots of songs were discussed!
-
I have this problem when I have to take iron supplements, which is every 4 months or so. I usually take Fiber and that seems to help. My doc recommends Probiotics, but the good ones can get costly. I would take Chemmie's advise. She knows her shit. Ooooopsss!!! Haha!! No pun intended!
-
I definitely like both! It depends on my mood.
When I'm learning, I am more athletic. No shoes, fitness clothes, serious. "Susan".
When I put on shoes and/or sexy outfits I am more sensual. Less Tricks with more dance. "Saphyre".
-
Not sure if you would like this, but there is a newer song I've been into lately that has a bit of a country/folksy beat to it, but it also has a bit of grindy, and kind of ethereal all at once. It is "Barton Hallow" by "The Civil Wars". I'm a little obsessed with it right now! It's genre is categorized as Singer/Songwriter. Other than that, I also love Portishead "Glorybox". Super, super sexy.

The choice is dependent on a couple of things. Your body chemistry and the weather. I have heard that sweatier bodies do better with Brass. Likewise, a warmer climate is usually more condusive to Brass. If you are dry, the brass may be too grippy for you. In a cooler climate, chrome might be a better choice. Personally, I have a chrome pole. I have sweaty hands, but a dry body. It is great most of them year, except for summer when it's humid. I am going to buy a brass pole in the spring in anticipation of next summer! Good question on the "smell" factor. Never even thought of that!

I found out about this site from my first instructor, Glitterhips! Otherwise, I don't think I would have ever heard about it. I think my current instructor gets a little annoyed with me because I refer to this site all the time. Haha! At this point, I am still able to learn from my studio. It is newer and the instructors are newer to pole as well. They are still definiltely more advanced than I am, but there may come a time when I start to catch up enough that it won't be advantageous (especially financially) for me to continue taking the classes. When I learn something new in class, I head straight to SV to watch a tutorial to get a better understanding of it. I suspect that, eventually I will rely on SV and the occassional private lesson for my continued education.

My hubby is always at work when I pole, but I told him I'm might have to switch my poling days around soon so he can spot me. He looked terrified!
-
Yesssssss, Annieloo!! That is totally me!
-
I always start out with good intentions and then my body reminds me that I have no balance! It's better hanging onto the pole, but I feel like Sandra Bullock in that movie where she's walking all sexy and then falls on her face…

Welcome, Jules!

I tried one on at the Midwest Convention. They seem to fit small, so I would go up a size from what you normally wear. They will always shrink from laundering, anyway.

I hate to say it, but I think any trick or spin can aggravate an inflammed rotator cuff. Walks and floor work might be the only thing that might not. Any spin could easily injure it. Split grip anything, Allegra, Handstands, etc. So many things could injure it. I'm no expert, though. Did you injure yours?

Just passed the 1 year mark!
