NO, all black lights are not LED. LED is light emitting diode which is a fairly new technology. I believe that you need a specific UV wavelength to cure this stuff. Not sure what that is but the cheapest UV light will be reptile lights.

For me I am uncomfortable getting into superman from a pike so that is the reason this freaks me. That and I don't want to smash my face on the pole…..

Emotioncatcher has a vid on YT of her doing it. I have tried it a few times but it still freaks me.

WOW…there is a LOT on ebay. I mean a freaking TON!!!

I love love love Sally's. Their Sally card is like $5 a year and gets you a discount on all products. On the price tag there will be the regular price and then above it is usually the club price. Discounts are from fifty cents to a few dollars. Plus they give you a discount coupon for $5 off your next purchase so you pretty much get the card cost back.

I am the same when it comes to cheap. Sally's carries the gellish nail color, it is about $14 a bottle. Might be worth buying a ottle and seeing if teh UV light cures it. Says 2 minutes under UV light.

I know Sally's carries Gelish and I think one other brand. Aerial Amy, Nymphadora and Veruca Blue routinely get gels but they do it at a salon. Might be worth biting the bullet to get a salon one done first to see how well it works for you.

Have you tried Amy's Tuesday Tips (Thursday now)? She had a cartwheel dismount recently, aerial body waves, booty bouncing, yogini….fun stuff!

There are a few screws that could possibly interfere with the spin mechanism on the XSL. ALSO, because this design has only one spin bearing (base) whereas the XPole has two (base and top) this may affect how fast you can spin. One last thing, some of your spin momentum will be taken up with the wobble of the free standing pole….that is just physics.
I would first check with the screws. I have never had this issue on our XSLs but then again, I never played with spin mode all that much.
-
Rixi, I had 8 XSL where I taught. I do have a write up about the issues that I had with mine, but most were due to inexperienced people setting up and tearing down the poles. I will also add that XPole takes any issue very seriously. When people had issues with the original design of the XJoint they took it back to engineering and they now have a totally different version of it on the market. Issues that were happening 6 months ago you would be hard pressed to see now. Above all else, I can honestly say that every single issue I had they fixed for me.
ANY problem that people have needs to go back to the manufacturer. In my experience XPole, PS and LM will do whatever they can to remedy the situation. People who just complain about a product without contacting customer service are not helping the rest of us. You may have a fluke of manufacturing or there may be a genuine issue that needs to be addressed. Without allowing manufacturers to know the issues they have no idea something needs to be fixed. This is true for any product you purchase not just poles.

Took me a minute to figure out how in the world you were staying on the pole!
And I have no idea what it is either.
-
I really meant to say …duh! I knew that and saw the item in my mind but typed the totally wrong product. I blame fuzzy brain….

I know that Rebecca Butcher sprayed her suede pants with Pole Physics before her one performance and Karol used something called Butterfly Grip when she poled after USPDF several years back.

I have also seen David pull some stuff (jade, chopstix, pretty much anything) in pants but then David is just a freak of pole.

It is brushed stainless and it is HORRIBLE to work on! There was a strip club turned dance club here in Cleveland that had a pole like this. I am not sure why clubs put these in with the exception of lack of knowledge and cost. Please be careful on it.
And, hey! Have not seen you in some time!

I had mine done about 5 years ago and it still bleeds every once in a while. Every day it is a little crusty, but I have this same problem with my ear piercings.

I think Empy has comments in the threads regarding teaching out of your home or at other people's homes. This is an area I would tread very lightly as one mishap can bankrupt you if someone wants to be an a$$ (and if you are working out of your home you can lose it in a lawsuit). On top of that, going to a stranger's home you never know what you are going to run into. Although if you are in a small community you probably know many of the people in your town. Let's just say I have been a "safety" to a few friends who have done this (basically I had all info on the person and if she did not call me by a specified time I was to call her. If no answer you call the cops.)

Rixi, there has been a lot of discussion on this topic over the years. I know that Nymphdancer is in the process of doing this currently and I think Kobajo wrote a bit about it too.
The hardest part is going ot be having enough students to make rent/insurance/etc. I was working for a studio that had pole plus other fitness classes that just went under. Pole probably brought in about $100-150 a week and that was without paying me. We had 8 poles but only after we ran a groupon were we ever filled. Typical here in NE Ohio is 4-6 students per class. You will NOT make money on just pole classes unless you are in a highly populated area (major city).

I did a yelp search and came up with this:

Cannot access some of teh sites as they are blocked here at work.

I could not find any in Amsterdam. Looks like the closest would be either Rotterdam or Alkmaar. I would shoot for Rotterdam because the Cubes are well worth the trip to see and really easy access by train.

Boomloulou….does anyone know if she is still in the game? I remember that video and so many of her other ones. I can't believe it was that long ago!
-
UGH…there were 2 or 3 girls on her a while back that were from NL but I have not seen them on here in a while.
-
I am not sure how things are handled in Canada. I personally would find out what is needed to do to report this physician. This is very much like surgical instruments being closed back up inside of people, however in this case they left your original IUD in place. I just cannot see how this is even able to be done…I mean wouldn't he have known that he never removed the first one? This is just so bizzarre.
Checking fertility while you have a new IUD may be difficult but I woudl definitely have yourself checked out to be sure there are no other issues.

Oops…looks like Blondies was evicted in December.
