Typo on that last sentence
**And I want I hear others experiences on this issue– good and bad…
-
All true!
I second guessed myself about it.. I asked myself if I have been too trusting when it comes to pole? Should pole be an exception when it comes to safety when meeting others online? No it shouldn’t.
I ended up be grateful that all the people I’ve met from here in person have all been beautiful souls and want to hear others experiences too. Good and bad 😉 -
I have met another SV member that I am planning to pole with sometime soon… This is why this conversation came up.. I said it in passing “oh yah, I think I found another pole friend online”
The *Gasps* and lecturing started right after
-
I want some of her clothing too but haven’t went through with a purchase yet… I am actually browsing now at pole clothes.
I found a site called 007heaven.com.au
They have a few different pieces that you can have customized and have your name put on them. I love some of the tops, they look unique -
Robin- yes alethea loves Georgia too! She had her pieces customer designed by her! I love them. She runs deals all the time too. I bought a pair of Cleo’s leopard bottoms from her rockin pole wear line. Georgia moon makes all of her pieces. Love mine. Glad I went I size up though
-
KungFuPuddyTat is correct, the costume is from Georgia Moon because I follow her on facebook. SHe has beautiful pieces
-
As everyone mentioned… Alethea, Veena, and EMIL! I USE THEM ALL. Each one has something different to offer and are all great tools.
-
i had an issue with uploading a video and wanted to check with him before i further investigated on my end.. he replied back promptly and sorted it out. i no longer have the issue.
i had the pleasure of going to Veena and Webmaster’s house during Pole Expo this September. I can say that I caught a glimpse and they really do pour their hearts and souls into this site.
Its people like them that deserve recognition and any benefits they reap from this site.. They earned it and work for very hard!
In addition, they are wonderful parents. They have the most well behaved, intelligent, children I have ever met in my life. Seriously. -
i am in awe. its perfect
-
we have another nola girl, yay!!
-
the grip is amazing on the SV pole. i had the privilege to try it at Veena’s during Pole Expo weekend 😉
i cant wait to buy mine! as soon as my man buys his new PS 4 I will be up next for something since i just went on that trip.. compromise LOL
-
tacha666 thats awesome you know the price of a silicone xpole because i email them several times a month ago trying to find out the price and have heard nothing. at least they give customer service to someone
-
I tried both at expo.. i was very disappointed in the sleeves… i had a great grip, but i didnt like how much wider it was.
I fell in love with the SV pole though. Gripper than my brass and less tempermental. Its on my “things to purchase” list -
you've come to the right place. you should definitely look into Veena's lessons, they have helped me ten fold. its really important to make some type of structure for yourself, especially poling alone at home. if anything, really focus on a good warm doing what you like, whether its freestyling, twerking, hula hooping, jogging, etc before pole. and just always remember its not about how many tricks you can, but the quality of the moves. =) skypes with other members are always an option, i really love them because its just like having someone else there with you but just through a computer screen =)

lana we are going to veenas pool party saturday night as well! yall should join us 😉
-
wearing** skirt** not shirt. lol. too much in a rush while typing
-
i plan on wear a cute, long maxi shirt with a tank top.. i will probably just wear pole shorts underneath so my skirt will be easily removable if i decide to hop on the pole with everyone else… it will make great pictures 😉
-
i love the 6 minute express warm up… I personally hate warm ups on my own, i always dread it.. Even though I cant stand doing it, I ALWAYS make myself do it anyway. I learned a long time ago this is a terrible idea and Ive always made myself do it since then.
Love hot showers to warm ul but I havent done that really since i moved. I usually make sure I layer up with legging, leg warmer over that, and a tank and a shirt over that.
I usually jump around like a wild woman and the layers help break a sweat faster. If you wear lots of layers and do the express warm up and maybe a minute of jumping jacks, you should be good to go after.
If you are going for a intense stretch session, i do all of the above and the. I do basic stretches for about 15 minutes before I even attempt splits or backbends -
wow april, you slide after a shower?
often times, ive shower twice in day for pole. Ive showered many times before practice because I usually stick like a fly, but I tend to take pretty hot showers and then shower again after because i would get so sweaty. -
paintilady- i hope you are able to work this out. Lots of great info here. I really wanted to comment so I can continue to follow this thread…
Businesses aside, but still remaining relevant to the subject of added fees, it seems as everything has doubled in the last year… My water bill went up 50$ a month for a new recycling fee when recycling was always covered years prior. WHICH IS A CRAZY PRICE IN MY OPINION. I hate how its just added to the bill and there was never a notice to let the public know there would be an added fee. -
Ok… First I want to say, and this is totally NOT bashing studio owner or instructors, but there is a current studio that I use to attend. It is a large studio with about 14 poles and they offer all drop in classes. The owner has always been worried about volume and quantity VS quality. I personally HATE drop in studios like this because I've had a very bad experience with the same problem with students instructing other students, AND I WASN'T EVEN THE TEACHER! The teacher was on the other side of the room talking to one student. I was in the middle of the room with beginners and intermediates, and there was a first timer. One girl was trying to teach the first timer how to do an elbow stand into a cross ankle release. I listened to her explain the move to the other girl without even knowing the terminology (this is another thing that DRIVES ME NUTS) The girl demonstrated an elbowstand first, but didn't do the cross ankle release. The first timer tried to kick up into an elbowstand, but was struggling. Thankfully she listened to her body, and stopped. The other girl went on again about it, and I chimed in and said, "That is a hard move, especially for someone's first time." The first timer was clearly struggling and felt uncomfortable. The other girl snapped at me and said, "NO It's not." And proceeded to do it again to show the first timer. Ironically, the girl ended up missing the pole and falling on her head… All I could do was laugh at her out loud and roll my eyes… I really couldn't help myself and I think pole should be instructed and taught progressively like Veena's method and elbow stand is not the first move you learn and I even said it in a nice way and was only trying to help…
You will probably always encounter this problem since its a different group every time and if the studio owner doesn't make this known as one of her policies. Maybe signs in the office/lobby will help and maybe if it stressed on the waiver and verbally when students first sign up?? Is the owner active on facebook with her business? Maybe she can stress this issue interactively as well, most people are bound to see it… But if the owner is not too worried about it, this will be a recurring issue… Sadly. And the owner of the one in my story, isn't worried about it… She sells herself short by constantly running cheap living social specials for volume.
Thankfully, there is a very knowledgeable, safe, STRONG poler from Ohio named Laura. Chemmie knows her 😉 She was off the grid with teaching for a while to improve her own skills. I plan to start going back to her once she has a set time for class again.

wish i knew someone in your area… but i'm with you on the private lessons, i always get so much more out of one on one's… try a skype, you won't regret it.
-
wow you are one flexy mama!
i dont have tips as i want to achieve this is well. you are much closer than i am. i am commenting to follow this thread 🙂 -
Koidragon seemed this give great advice.
I am really just posting to show support and to say that I am in agreement with the diet comment.
This is 90% of my struggle… 🙁 -
maybe im different but my man and i call each other many different names when we are in the mood and when we are playing around.. we both like it.
now if he were to call me a bitch or ho out in public there would be a serious problems then, but if its in the comfort of our own home and i hear his tone i always know if it was meant disrespectfully or not.
I know two wrongs dont make a right but usually if something disrepectful is said, that neither one of us likes, we always respond back to each other with the same reaction and for some reason we always end up with a tit for tat argument that leads to tickle fights.. ane i am usually the one thats held down and tortured while my feet are being tickled… its miserable, but all i can do is laugh and then i have all these endorphins running through me from laughing and trying to escape that we always forget what we were pissed off at in the first place…
then we move on with our day after.
