On club dancers…
I think anyone who makes that money makes it for a daaaaaamn good reason. Even if they are just crawling on the floor. Or shaking their thighs in the face of a ying-yang twin. It’s a job, to make money. The few times I’ve been in a club and seen someone make it rain, it’s not been because of a straight-edge, or even a jamilla-esque burlesque appearance. No way. It’s been because of some super nasty-delicious floor work. SO when your parents are like, "Well what’s the difference?" … it’s that you’re not getting paid. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
I think you shouldn’t lie to your parents. If you’re going to be an athletic only type dancer, than sure. Go ahead and preach gymnastics and "no it’s not sexy". But you can’t say it’s not sexy wearing heels. Or if you ever wiggle your backside. Or if you run out of athletic boyshorts and have no problem "working out" in lace as opposed to spandex.
Why not just preach the good that happens when a little sexy meets self esteem.

Oh! I can answer the shoe one
I’m a 10.5, so I purchase size 11 Pleasers from either ElectriqueBoutique.com or Snaz75.com. Both have searchable discount codes. I’ve had to try on different models or types, I guess… all pleasers have some silly name, which depicts the style of shoe-base, and then numbers which show how it goes.
Basically, find a model type you like, and stick with it, or things that look like it. I’m a fan of "Adore", and still pissed that I wasted 30 bucks on "Party".

I don’t have any Jazz recommendations at this point, I am however going to use your suggestions. LOL. If it helps, though, my rhapsody suggest Don Cheetham, Clifford Brown, and Fats Navarro. I know for a fact that Leon Redbone is absolute, but I’ve no idea if he’s of the same jazz genre as your guys.
I also second the love of P-square. Super jam! No one like you is fantastic, and what a way to warm up the hips!
I don’t know if I suggested it already, but I loooove the new Akon album! Love-love-love!

I am -enormous-. Not just fat, but tall and fat. Six feet tall and 228 lbs. I’ve always been a very sexy individual, so becoming overweight didn’t bother me much.
I made this decision a few months ago.. Uhh… October, last year, to lose weight. I was 207 lbs, which was my heaviest weight- I had been pole dancing two months, but the birthday made me feel older and weaker. So I was like, "YEHA, lets diet"
I started a food journal to see what I needed to cut and realized I was eating 500 calories on "good" days, and a whopping 2500 on "bad" ones. I was overweight at an average of 1000 calories a day. Ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. So, I went to a nutritionist, and he was like, "Holy hell, why do you do that to yourself?" He said my habit of starve-starve-binge was causing my body to hoard, and it would hoard my binge days because of how awful I was to myself on my starve days.
Eheh. So I was like, "well what do I do?" and he was like, "eat". And boy did I. Apparently it was OK to overdo it in the begining, because I was convincing my body that there was no need to hoard. And I -really- overdid it. Overdid it right into obesity at 236! Hee! Anyways. Since the new year, I’ve been actively working out not just on the pole, but with cardio machines… and I’ve been monitoring my diet. I’ve only lost a couple of pounds, but I’m getting there.
So, my goal for the moment is to weigh 213 lbs.
I also quit smoking and drinking. I’d like to stay clean. Forever. No matter how many times I get free coupons from marlboro.
I’d like to grow my hair out some more, and resist the need to "trim" it.
I want to cook better quality, better tasting food.
I also want increased flexibility, especially in my back and neck. I want to get at least an hour and a half of stretching in each day. I usually get in 30 minutes every other day, but that’s definitely just laziness.

If you’re willing to go permanent, why not just order one from markstaar. 115for a stunning pole you don’t have to polish yourself. It’s also got the inner tubing, which I think is necessary.

GET BACK ON THAT POLE.
The first time I got discouraged, I was looking at a video of someone who started the EXACT same time I did, and she was throwing out inverts from all locales. Split grip, shoulder mount, baseball grip, iguana. I was in that ugly baseball grip stage, trying my hardest to work out a split grip. (I still cannot split grip invert, or shoulder mount for that matter! But I think I could fling myself up their if I wanted, I just want the perfect, zero kick off lift)
First I called her many expletives that you shouldn’t call any other woman. Then I looked at her profile. Yeah, you know it. Dance background, iceskating, joined the circus, fitness instructor, contortionist, take your pick. It’s always something like that.
You can’t compare yourself. Some people who have been dancing for a year have been training all their lives. And some people who have been dancing for a year had just broken their life long love affair with the couch. Some people have natural body control. Some people have natural sexiness. Some have years of peddling sexiness in clubs. Some people have enough time on their hands to practice and train all day! Some work and have kids and escape to the pole.
People who take the time to stir doodies on youtube are usually virgin teen boys. Men don’t even get opinions until they’ve reached a certain age. I guarantee if they’re willing to fearlessly talk smack to a woman, they’re not that age. You’re going to take a nasty pimply teen who can’t even begin to imagine the luxuries of you to heart? No way! GET BACK ON THAT POLE

Woo. Love that song!
Niiiice extended butterflies! I love that split grip invert to butterfly business. I can’t seem to get the hang of it, but it sure does look lovely! -
Buy some sliding closet doors from home depot. you can get a pair for like 70. Tall, framed mirrors to lean against the wall. Or you can always hire a glass man to come and mirror your walls floor to ceiling.
Personally, I would so paint the frames my detail color and get a really sexy light fixture. I’d also put up a nice tasty wall mounted shelf for my pole shoes, and maybe another when I had more, staggered. My pole area doesn’t have windows, so I’d probably hang curtains so I could pretend I had windows.
Here’s where I’d get it all
homedepot.com for the mirror doors.
lightinguniverse.com for my track lighting fixture…. home depot also has a good lighting selection
overstock.com for window treatments, ’cause they usually have a megaselection.OH. And I have this fantasy of mounting a straight back chair on my wall that I can take down for chair stuff.

Eh. She’s probably just got weak hands. In my class, there was one girl who had a hand grip issue, and the instructor had her hang in baseball grip with legs up for a very large portion of the end of class each time. At first the girl got calouses, and then she got strong. Her left hand grip was still absolute doody, so I really do think it was an issue of strength. I am a super mega fatty, but I didn’t have any grip issues, so you can tell her that being overweight is probably not the deal.
Another thing.. I think people are different types of oily…. Whenever my husband gets on the pole, I cannot for the life of me hold onto the pole- but it doesn’t appear greasy to the touch, and he can hold on fine with it. But I have to alcohol the pole before I have any hopes of holding on. So maybe a good cleaning between people? I figure it’s the same as windex working for some people and making other people fly off the pole.

I use
Rhapsody.com for my unlimited downloads. Aside from the stupid realplayer interface, it’s nice. I used to use URGE, but they sold their customers to rhapsody with the creation of the Zune player. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gifIt’s 12.99 a month, and I think 20 if you want to use it with your portable mp3 players.
