May I post this on the Pole Nation FB and Twitter accounts? I totally understand if you don't want it blasted out, but I'm happy to help if I can….

I'm adjusting. You know you can take the girl out of Vegas, but you can't take Vegas outta the girl. :0

We just found a fabulous butcher, who raises the grass-fed, hormone -free catlle. Since evrything else has to be shipped to the island, this butcher is actually CHEAPER than buying grocery store meat!!! It's cheapr than Costco!! I HOPE you guys can find someone to supply, because it's truly wonderful. Fingers crossed!!!

Glad all is well with the newest addition to your studio. You will actually find that it will take mere seconds to put the Mynx up and down once you get the hang of it. I know they say check it monthly, but we are in a special envirinment, so I'd REALLY suggest you take it down, let everything settle, re-measure and put it up weekly. Safety first.
Cheeeeeeee!!! :))

I don't have any video recommends, but I can say how much yoga and pole dovetail together. If you can, take a few group lessons or even privates. That has helped me quite a bit in my own progression on the pole. And having that instructor there to make subtle corrections will make a HUGE difference too. It's just like pole: you can learn from the vids but nothing substitutes for that personal feedback from someone.

Oh fairy, I'm so sorry to hear about your pain. I truly hope the person who confessed will be put to justice and you will find closure to everything. I'm sure your friend is honored you are able to pay tribute to her memory in such a meaningful way with your dance. Thanks for shaing with us and letting us support you during this emotional turmoil. HUGS!!!

She is also the gal who just put on the National Aerial Pole Art (NAPA) competition in Las Vegas last night. She's done the competiton in years past as well. An amazing person!

Thanks for the mention. I designed Trixie Toes so we can have protection on the bottom of our feet yet grip where we needit to climb. Mighty Grip was VERY patient with me when going thru the design and prototype phase. I truly hope you find they are useful.

Jeez I can't tell you how timely this is for me! I'm 41 with two college-aged children and EEK! I feel like I'm right back there with my kids pimple-wise! I recently moved from Las Vegas (Read:DRY) to Hilo, Hawaii (read: WETTEST CITY POSSIBLE) and my face, my chest, my back…OMG! Obviously I'm going to switch my cleansing products, but I was afraid of invest too much money in products I wasn't sure were even going to work. Thank you!!

You are soooo lucky to have open beams! Jealous!! Centered as in the mounting screw being in the middle of the width. Wherever you need it on the length is fine. Just make sure the mount doesn’t poke over the sides of your beam. 😉

Hubby and I have installed a plethora of LM poles for my students over many years. The biggest mistake we see in mounting is not making sure the mount bracket is truly IN the joist. And what Imean by that is that the mount is as close to the center of the joist as you can possibly get. We've had to help some gals who hit the stud, but they were off center and it created a mount that was less than ideal. Stud-finders are kind of "wonky" sometimes, so invest in a good one. Popcorn, or accoustic ceilings are a pain to work with, but that just means you need to be patient in order to be accurate. My students used the pad with tile and hardwood floors. Can't say I have ever dealt with concrete. However, what I did have many students do when they were using the pad was to velcro the pad to the flooring so the pad wouldn't slide. Put the smooth velcro on the flooring and the scratchy velcro on the bottom of the pad. 😉 Regardless take that pole down at LEAST once a week to check the pole itself top to bottom and make sure it's nice and tight when you put it back up. And right now, sister, just breathe. You're going to be spinning away without a care pretty soon! Yippee!
