And, once again, I’m the loser. Boy, you really picked the word of the day. Thanks.

Hmm, yeah, but I prefer to call them out on it rather than sit back and tolerate like everyone else. That’s bad medicine, btw. I honestly feel worse when I watch someone be degraded like that and DO NOTHING about it. I know I sure have appreciated it the very few times someone stood up for me.
It truly is the worst thing in the world to them to have someone actually tell them how awful and wrong they are. How nobody really likes being around them and are generally nicer/happier when they’re not around. It angries up the blood but, damn it, someone’s gotta knock ’em off their trip from time to time. If for no other benefit, that to REMIND people that there is nothing honorable in abusing people like that and YOU DON’T HAVE TO TAKE IT.

Thanks everyone!
Btw, that wikipedia link confirmed that acetone can remove PC. I suppose if it’s not 100% acetone it may not be strong enough? Idk, but it does mention it. Doesn’t really matter either way, I suppose, it’s just that I don’t want whatever cleaner I use to take the coating off. I would probably drop dead of absolute horror if I were wiping down my pole and buffed away my finish. lol

Sorry. It takes me a long time to recover after a confrontation like that. I get physically ill when I have that much adrenaline rush through me.

Mama taught me to have some damn manners and to help good people, NOT bad ones. That’s just the way I AM.

Don’t you love it too how that excuse works only in the favor of those who treat others like dirt? How if you call someone out, face-to-face, for their lousy behavior they have like half a dozen others who try to play peacemaker on their behalf.
Oh, but Gawd forbid these drones ever intervene if somebody is just being polite or minding their own business when their Queen Bee feels like giving her already over-inflated and undeserved ego a boost. Maybe that person is just polite and that’s just the way THEY are, huh? Maybe we should all chime in and stick up for the person who isn’t trying to sh

Oh, just something I’m tired of experiencing everyday of my life for as long as I can remember. It happens in pole just as much as any scenario involving groups of people and I am so sick of witnessing it.
Rude people. They SUCK. There is no excuse for it and I wish their useless wannabe’s would stop defending them. Their behavior is not admirable or assertive, it’s absolute shit.
While out in the really-real world today, I had the great pleasure of telling off some royal bitch. While I enjoyed it immensely, my adrenaline is still considerably high. Then it occurred to me that I’ve come across these types in the pole world as well and on numerous occasions (like today) I had people tell me the age-old bs excuse for their rudeness that’s “Just the way they are…”
Sorry. EFF THAT. EFF that right in the cocoa factory. If people are gonna waste their breath and energy defending someone PLEASE do it while defending the right person. The one that ISN’T being a damn stuck-up C-U-Next Tuesday.
End Rant.
How was your day? lol xD

Someone in my extended family passed away due to breast cancer. She was a vegetarian, ate only organic foods, didn’t smoke or drink or any of that, and was deeply devoted to her religious beliefs.
Due to her religious beliefs, she was extremely modest. She never had mamograms or ever conducted self breast exams. Her cancer was left untreated too long before a masectomy could have helped prevent it from spreading.
Only at the insistance of her children did she (FINALLY) decide to start chemotherapt. Things were looking up for awhile, the treatment was working, and then she stopped because she viewed her illness as a “test of her faith”. The cancer then spread rapidly and she died shortly after Christmas that year. It was horribly sad. Made me angry for a long time.
So, when people jump on the bs home-remedy cure for cancer bandwagon, I just want to say stfu. Leave curing cancer to the professionals, they KNOW their shit and save lives everyday. Appreciate doctors and nurses and modern science/technology. They WORK.

Update (again):
Apparently a young man was hired at the same time as me. It has been made known to me that my crew favors me over working w/ him because I actually do my work and do not goof off like he alledgedly does.
I thought that was nice. Figured I’d share. 🙂

Although, I must warn, my butt is bigger than most. It is possible the coverage would be too much on yours as opposed to mine.
-
Wal-Mart No Boundaries 3-pack of “Cheekers” undies. I’ve worn these in almost all of my earliest vids (best example is probably my “Blood Milk and Sky” or “Creep” vid) if you would like to see just how “cheeky” the coverage really is. Very comfy, breathable, functional, and AFFORDABLE. A 3-pack costs like $5 at most for black, gray, and white. I also wear them under all my other pole shorts. They are great booty shorts. I highly recommend them. 😉

Um…okayyyyyyy…where’d my asshat go now?!

Disregard. It’s already on top of my head. *sigh*

Disregard. I found it. Wearing my asshat this morning.

I find that most moves that I can do are among everyone’s least fav’s. lol I’m not offended but, yeah, I can see how this thread can be demotivational to newbies. Still, I find some of the moves listed on here very surprising to me. Like, I used to think everybody worshipped moves like the Remi-drop, Iron X, Spatchcock, etc. It’s kinda refreshing to see that we all have such different tastes. 🙂

Thankyou, Chem!
I did consult my husband about it as well and he told me powder-coating is actually a type of acryllic paint. Much like the kind used on bicycles, some cars, and such. He informed me that using any form of acetone (nail polish remover) or even rubbing alcohol can wear away the coating and cause “orange-peeling”.
So, I have another question:
What can I use to safely clean this type of pole?
-
Quick question (and my apologies if this has already been answered and I’m just not seeing it or if this is just a srsly silly question) :
What kind of metal/material is this pole actually made of? I see that it’s a beautiful jewel-tone purple metallic color and that it is powder-coated…but…what’s under the coating?
Thanks in advance. I ask because my skin has a sensitivity to certain metals/materials. I am srsly considering to puchase this pole. It’s truly an amazing looking piece of equipment! 🙂

When I first started I was consulting (perhaps pestering) Karol Helms a lot. She was gracious enough to provide me w/ her very professional advice that I, to this day, praise and pass on to whomever I can.
The very first bit of advice she offered me when I got my pole was this:
“Pole dancing is a PROCESS, its not something that people just try and are immediately good at!! It takes alot of time, practice, and determination to increase your skill! Soooo, dont get discoouraged, keep with it, take your time to learn and perfect each move you try. And start slowly..!!
And my biggest peeve…. Spinning mode is fun, but you’re not really learning the right technique to the moves when youre working on spinning. So keep it on static when you practice and really learn how to do the moves correctly and safely before adding spinning to the mix. When youre doing them beautifully on static, then give spin a go!”Of course…lol…curiousity got the best of me and I did try spin my first day. I justified it as “just making sure it works”. Well, it DID. I did a fireman so fast I swear I coulda flung myself right through my bedroom window! LOL That was not fun at all, it was SCARY. I put it right back on static. That being said, make sure to test spin mode when you get your pole, but do not throw your weight into it. Be gentle, it does not need much momentum or you’ll find yourself in hyper-drive. If you DO ever find yourself in hyper-drive DO NOT PANIC. The tighter you grip and the closer you tuck into your pole the FASTER you will spin. Hold securely, but try to put your legs out or lightly drag your feet on the floor to slow yourself back down. The further you hold yourself out, the slower it will go.
To combat dizziness, either look at your pole or hands and try to ignore the blur surrounding you. Do not strain your neck to do so. The key to controlling spin is to be calm and deliberate w/ each move.
But, I digress, just be aware that spin is an entirely different approach than static. I do recommend staying off of it entirely until at least your fourth month (if you are poling at least 6-8 hours per week prior to that). You will be much stronger, controlled, and confident in your abilities by then. Personally, I waited until my six month Polerversary before I attempted spin again and I feel I ROCKED that biotch! lol So much that I made 3 vids to celebrate. 😀
And, I will also say that I knew a girl who totally rocked spin her second month. Unfortunately, she did it too much too fast and too early. Srsly strained the muscles in her right arm/both wrists and had to take a month off to recover. I regard this as proof to Karol’s claim. Get strong on static first, rock spin later. You WILL get there. 😉
Shwew! Sorry, that was way too long as usual! Hope this is at least a little helpful.

@ Kobajo
Do you mean the g-strings that kinda sit on the buttcheeks rather than above the hips or just thongs in general? Cuz I have been seeing a lotta the floss too, lol. I get kinda envious, though, I doubt that would be very flattering on me. Some girls have those cute bums that aren’t overwhelming to see. Mine is rather…juicy…so it probably would appear as though I were dancing completely bottomless if I wore that. lol

I’m pretty sure that no one took offense to your preferences. Like I said, I totally understand how it may not be everyone’s cup-o’-tea. Contortion moves have very different lines from the elegant and powerhouse styles. We are all esthetic-junkies in the pole world it seems, and we often favor some forms over others. I can appreciate that.
-
…and there is something other-worldly about contortion. It’s like black-magic or something. GO SHAPE-SHIFTERS, HOORAH! haha
-
I just have to say, while I understand why some people are creeped out by contortion moves, I absolutely LOVE them! Maybe it’s because flexibility comes easier to me than strength (for some it is the opposite), but moves w/ a nice deep back-bend or twist or oversplit is just about the greatest trick ever in my eyes. Full extension and beyond are my personal future goals in whatever I do, so I am extremely impressed by contortion. To each their own! 🙂
