Mm, you can use the alcohol diluted or undiluted on stainless.

Windex is also an option. A 0 residue dish soap heavily diluted (3 drops to a bottle) gives me a good clean!

Another thing is every once in a while, go ahead and use some acetone-only nail polish remover.. especially if you soometimes get weird residues on the pole. I don’t do it more than once in a blue moon, but it generally gives optimum grip! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Heeeeee! David, so silly!

I am also alarmed a the number of people who have not stepped foot into an ikea. A-larmmmmed.

Mmm! PDR, if it doesn’t have aesthetic merit, it has athletic merit and vice versa. Even the Side Climb, which seems to be voted most ugly is SO FREAKING USEFUL. Climb.. already with a knee hook. CHYEAH.

And even if someone else doesn’t think it’s the prettiest thing ever, who the hell cares. If you want to wave that superman out, go ahead. Chances are, if you love it, we’ll love it just because you do. I seriously doubt any of us are as snobby as we sound outside of this thread. It’s like reading a fashion magazine in your pajamas. We’re all sitting here cozy, knowing DAMN well that when we watch a pole performance we’re not like, "Oh, I am so not impressed", but instead are like, "OMGLOVEYESPOLEGODOITDOIT".

Two of the moves I could care less for are Pantera originals, but not only would I have that woman’s children, I would treat them like colllectors items.

…

Lu, I’d say it’s time to invest in the pole, put it in the living room directly in front of the television (between nascar and the couch) and watch the kids as you pole.

If Nascarring counts as family time, so does poling.

I don’t have kids, though, so that’s my disclaimer.

[amcut]

Yeah, deefinitely to each their own.

’cause I think the Teddy is the hottest thang EVER.

And I don’t want anyone to stop doing incredible strength iguana mounts just on account of me being angry that their ass disappears once their head ducks down too far.

And if you even ATTEMPT to be self conscious about your glorious stripperisms, Sissy, I am going on the muthawhatm warpath. WARPATH. That means the road straight to your home so I can shake your ass for you.

Poo on that!

I’m agnostic, but I have some firm beliefs on The One God- and it’s that if he is infinite, then he is ALL things, and that’s why not only was mother theresa made in his image, but also hitler. My belief in that prevents me from feeling badly about starving children or people who were born into situations that made it difficult to be Christlike (children of ishmael, harlem natives, double y boys)

SO. My infinite, all knowing, incomprehensible (who can comprehend infinity) Christian God does not find pole dancing to be sinful- unless you believe it to be sinful. If you feel as though you’re going against god, and still doing it.. Yeah, totally a sin! If you’re thinking, "Hey, lust me, lust me lust me" and you and your covenant frown on those kinds of thoughts, … then you’re definitely sinning. If you’re innocent, or find that pole dancing strengthens your faith- you’re doing a daaamned good job.

So, she would be sinning, you are not sinning. Kind of tree-of-knowledge logic, because we weren’t sinful until became so through knowing! God made all these things, and who are you to say that they weren’t made to God’s specs! Infinite god being thwarted by a fallen Angel? I think not! If God wanted us in the garden, we’d be in the garden. Not to say that you didn’t make a promise with your God to do certain things- and if you deviate from your promise, that’s most certainly sinful to go against a promise that you made with God!

…Gray areas like dance and drink (do they take away from your love of God?- some sects consider them a sin because they can.. but there was a whole lot of dance and drink in the bible!) you have to make a choice as to whether it is healthy for your faith. If you know it’s bad for you and you do it.. mhhhph.

I guess it all depends on which god you believe in. Cold god, God is Love, Infinite God, Angry Old Testament God, Dead God, Limited God (The one having so much trouble with Satan), Unconscious Energy God.. Each would have a different response to your pole dance, I think.

[amcut]

…Wow. See I am most in love with choppers and handsprings.

ugly moves to me are supermen, side climb, brass monkey, death lay, and u-turn…

[amcut]

I’m not going to lie, my favorite looking exit from this one is

hip hold to pike to superman.

It’s like, the only way I like to look at the superman.

Hit up the doctor, Glitter. One tasty pill can do the trick and then you wont have to avoid the glory foods. (Tomato = gloryfood, but you’re already avoiding that one. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif) That’s if it’s acid reflux, though.

Uhhhm. For the gallbladder- you should be disrupted by the fatty foods, of course, and then also fruitskins, and eggs especially. Eggs eeee-specially.

So, I’ve had some weird random vomiting problems- … DIRECTLY tannin related, and I -love- tea, so it’s an issue. I also cannot drink pomegranate juice.. or other things. Just makes me vom-vom-vomit. I found it out from making monster pitchers of tea and drinking it just as much as I drink water- and eventually not being able to keep any food down. I knew I was sensitive to them because red wine makes me feverish feeling and vomity- but didn’t think to avoid tea.

I’m even more attracted to that matching backless kimono.

That site is filled with so many goodies!!!!!

I love I love! I love boutique lingerie.

But you know what I love even more. HANDMADE PANTIES!

Cruising etsy is ridiculous. so much temptation!

I still spin with the nontacky, but I have a stainless steel finish. I’m not sure if that makes a difference. The next time I am near chrome I’ll bring the gloves and check. Not exactly sure what the material is- I’d go for mystery but definitely not as shiny as the tacky- which is similar to PVC. More like some kind of soft, thin pleather type stuff.

Somewhere between matte and shiny- it actually reminds me a bit of a soft steering wheel material.

It’s not like.. only ridgid spins either- I think they actually improve the quality of my RG!

BUT
I just remembered this. I had forgotten because I have massive hands and had discounted them as tinygloves.

Art of Dance Sam is one of the first gloved pole dancers I’d seen. She’s in the UK, but she SWEARS on these Nomis Sports Gloves. They were actually discontinued and she harassed the makers into making more of them, she loves them so much. Anyways. She sells them on her site, and I imagine shipping would be the worst of it- but there’s even a review where the person mentions how no grip aid works for her (like y’all) and how she loves the gloves!

Eheheh. I feel so good having remembered that!

[amcut]

I like the not-so-tacky MG gloves.

To me, they are comparable to handflesh and your grip strength = your grip. The tacky ones are SUPERSERIOUS, like Mighty Grip themselves, so they’re not really my style. They’re -nice-, but only really ideal for iguana mounts and upright spinny mode. Still, it’s really easy to imagine the seams ripping and you falling off the pole completely.

I buy exact size in pleaser… so it all comes down to personal preference/foot shape. If I bought a size down, the plastic would probably make my foot ache. But I also don’t have problems with loose plastic, even after my feet are hot and moist! They always shrink back to their normal positioning, which is deliciously tight! Mm!

And my feet dislike toe strap only shoes. More power to you women who can wear them, but mine will end up in the face of my dogs, through my window, in my face upon invert, on the pole upon climb, everywhere but on my feet. I think I just have a cone-shaped foot or something because they can feel like they fit perfectly but still fly off.

[amcut]

Yeah, I once lived in a place where the joists made noise for the first month or so of pole. Kind of sounded like they were groaning. Then they got used to it. LOL

I also have a superpole, and I am still alive.

[amcut]

….How ugly! I’m glad he was able to demonstrate his pitiful weakness! At least he has a woman to keep him in check. I hope she doesn’t tire of mothering him! Or if she does, it’s at least after he completes Human Decency Training.

I would have a hard time .. not leaving a cow patty on his table. Moo my ass.

That’s just.. really ridiculous. As if you weren’t a real living person with real feelings. I hope after he goes through Human Decency Training he has to deal with a lifetime of guilt and shame for being a dick.

MOO MY ASS.
