I loooove the sadgirl drop! It’s so pretty! I can’t wait until I’m able to do it.

I sign these petition thingys just because I want poledance to be recognized more mainstream period. I want more people to see it and see what we do and how fuggin awesome it is. I do agree with you ladies though that things will change if it were to become an olympic sport (which I honestly don’t think it will anytime soon) but I think it would be broken up into two different categories. "Polefitness" would probably end up being the competitive (olympic) form where women wear volleyball type outfits and pull off trick after trick after trick with not much dance inbetween. Kind of like the floor routines in gymnastics, ya know what I mean. They do those proper lookin sashay’s and steps across the floor, point toe here, arm wave here, twirl, jump then bam…flip, flip, bad ass move, flip, landing! Poledance would be what Alethea does and what Karol does and what Felix does. That’s the stuff you’d see in shows and at competitions like USPDF. There fore, I think it could be doable. That’s just my prediction though LOL.

I think it’s already kind of split up anyways. There are those that mostly pole to do trick after trick and then those that dance with a trick here and there. I love them both and they both inspire me. Even if it did make it to the Olympics and the "sport’ changed. The art would still be there…..even if only underground LOL.

For me as far as pole dancing is concerned. I love love love the sexual element of it. I just do. I think my own personal dance style will always have some sort of sexual undertones in most of it, but…. that can be turned on and off. I’ve always been very open about my sexuality and body and this may have something to do with my outlook on it. I think a strong sensual dance is beautiful.

When I dance barefoot to an upbeat song I rarely roll my hips and grind the pole, but once I put those shoes on and a slow song comes on my movement changes and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’ve always compared pole dance to ball room dancing, where the pole is the dance partner. In ball room there are sexy seductive dances, fun upbeat party dances and classical slow regal dances. And to me there’s nothing wrong with any of it.

I think we as pole dancers feel the need to defend ourselves all the time and claim that our dancing isn’t sexual because we respect it as an art and want others to do the same. I don’t know many people who respect what the girls do in the clubs as art so we are always quick to point out the difference. There are different aspects to pole dancing just as with any other type of dancing. It can be whatever you want it to be. And if it’s sexy for you, you shouldn’t feel bad for that.

As soon as I tell people I pole dance and have a pole at home they say "Oh I bet Reggie loves that" or they call me a freak. They’re always suprised to hear that I have only danced for Reggie like 3 times and that he rarely ever sees me pole. It’s so much more then what first comes to most peoples mind. But…as our numbers grow and it gets more and more popular, people will get it.

I’ve never heard of a cup before so I just went to the divacup website and checked out a little bit and um….I’ve never seen anything like this or even heard of it. LOL, so the cup basically fills up…then you take it out, pour out the contents, wash it off and put it back in??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif

[SissyBuns]

Just got myself a balconey seat. I’m in like flyn!!!

[SissyBuns]

SM hold is when you do a Shoulder mount and hold yourself in that position and do other "craziness" LOL.

I think any type of handsping, cartwheel and pretty much anything in a TG….especially the lift. So awesome!!!!

[SissyBuns]

Hey thanks! I still can’t believe how much easier it looks.. Hehe and neither can my arms, could barely dress myself today! lol! Thanks for having a look. My sunwheel looks very raw I think, need to stretch my legs out and point my toes.. need to get the graceful part down! Gonna try get back on the pole tomorrow if my arms loosen up https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Takin maybe a days break in between might be a good idea forstarting out. Poling every day might be too much. Your muscles need some time to recover and grow https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif .

[SissyBuns]

I know everyones names of moves are different. A catch spin from what I was taught is you step with your inside leg, swing the outside leg around to the other side. The inside leg that you started with will slide up the pole to stop you from spining.

Xpose calls a "Halfspin" a catchspin.

[SissyBuns]

OMG I wanna go!!!!!

Where do I get ticket info? Go Lindsey!!!!

[SissyBuns]

So I got the seal of approval to go….so Karol & LIttle C I’m all in!! Just let me know what time Friday you want to head out! Are we all going to ride together?? I’m soooo excited!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I got my ticket too! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Now I’m getting all worked up again!

shall we stay in the same place we stayed at last time?

[SissyBuns]

I had so much fun teaching everyone…!! im so glad you all had fun and benefited from the workshops..!

Angel was a great host, im always shocked to see how much more beautiful everyone i meet is in person..! hehe

Thanks again for letting me stay at your place.. my dog bombarded me when i got home because of the weenie smell… lol…!!

Did her tribe of weenie dogs attack you? LOL

[SissyBuns]

I think that if we as the parents are the ones to exose them to it and they see first hand what "we" do on it there won’t be much for them to be uncomforatble about. My 13 year old knows full well what strippers are (thanks public school) and she knows full well that nither myself or any of my dozens of pole friends that she’s met are strippers. She’s sees what we do and she knows the difference.

[SissyBuns]

As if I need another Hero game to get addicted to. LOL. I kept messin up cuz I was watching the girl. Then she fell out of a Reverse Aysha cuz of me LOL. I did get her to take her top off tho. Sweet!

[SissyBuns]

This is wierd because I was just thinking about you Foxy and wondering what happened to you. I hope you feel better soon. With the time you have, hop back on that bad boy and get your body moving again. It will help with your mood too. But I don’t have to tell you that, right?

You should try some dessert recipes that call for silken tofu, like vegan pumpkin pie. That can be a good way to ease into it, too. The trick for getting it into stir frys imo, is to make sure the pieces are tiny, like 1cm thick at the largest. Like amcut said freezing can help, just gotta get nice firm tofu. Sautee in wok with the oil/whatever you’re using for sauce so it browns and cooks and add other ingredients as needed. Just like if you were using meat, you’d brown it in the pan with the flavorings first (or at least that’s MY philosophy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif ). Then it cooks longer than anything else in the pan and by the time the noodles or rice are cooked it’s got a texture more appropriate for a protein. Read: not gooey. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

i’m going to try again…I bought some extra firm cubed…threw it in the freezer last night. gonna thaw it for tomorrow’s "attempt" lol Here’s hoping b/c I really do want to incorporate it into my diet!

My mother-in-law is also a breast cancer survior and she has to stay away from soy too! I wouldn’t know what to do if I couldn’t eat anything that was soy based!!

Lemme know how that goes Rox.

[SissyBuns]

have you tried the outside leg hang climb (not sure what it’s called)??? that one is a killer for me and works both sides!

1. chopper on the right side, hook your outside leg
2. pull yourself up (hand above your hooked leg) as if you were trying to get into apprentice
3. now you’re on your left side
4. chopper on the left side
5. repeat til you’re at the top!

I’ve been seeing this more and more lately and it’s on the top of my list of stuff to work on when my cast comes off. I just saw runnergirl do it in her newest vid and my jaw was on the floor the whole time.

My kids are 13 (daughter) 7 (daughter) and 6 (son) and they all know I pole. I was addicted to pole videos on youtube and here before I got my pole so they saw me watching women do some amazing stuff on the pole before they ever saw my feeble attempts. So they knew what I was shooting for. I pole in front of them all the time. I don’t do too much sexy stuff in their presence but if they walk in when I’m in the middle of a hip roll, they say "Ewww!!!!" Then go running out to pretend they are barfing in the hall. We joke about it a lot and it’s never been a big deal with them. My 2 little ones are pole masters them selves and my 13 year old thought it was cute until she gave it a try and saw how hard it was…she’s not one to work up a sweat. LOL She can do a decent fireman tho https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

[SissyBuns]

Welcome!!!

[SissyBuns]

Gettin a pair right now! Ya’ll know I love me some Veena pole shorts!

[SissyBuns]

Wow.

This is why studios have you sign a waiver before you take classes. Pole at your own risk!

[SissyBuns]

Hey Stacia, you’re in the same boat as me. Hope your toesies get better soon! Don’t hurt yourself trying to do too much too soon. Maybe me and you an just go and watch LOL.

[SissyBuns]
