There is a lot of information about changing the color of your skin be eating more carotenoids….yep….the stuff that is found in carrots and lots of other veggies. There really is something to eating your vegetables!

Yeah, melanotan is injectable and is known to cause thickening of the skin and also yellow eyes in some. If you are prone to freckling you will freckle even worse. There was Melanotan I and now Melanotan II. II has been approved by the FDA as a libido enhancer. It can and will cause erections that last a few days hence another reason a lot of bodybuilders love the stuff.

I would never take this….EVER (and I am a chemist who used to work in biomedical and pharmaceutical research).
Do a google search on melanotan. Remember Snooki? That orange oompa loompa from Jersey Shore….THAT is melanotan! I would also possibly ask the other lilbit on this forum as she has expecience in the bodybuilding world where this is used quite often.
Look into getting airbrushed by someone.

Are the poles set up so all you have to do is come in and teach? This is what kills me the most, on top of working a regular 40 hour job. If your body is not used to this I would think that many hours would burn you out rather quickly. Since I started teaching I have had no time or even desire to work on my own pole progression which totally sucks.

There have been a lot of discussions about the materials of poles and some downright inaccuracies. There was just a thread started a few days ago regarding which pole to buy. There were lots of people who chimed in. Plain truth is that the company with the best customer service is ALWAYS going to gain more customers. Up until Eria came on board Platinum Stages had the worst..and I mean WORST customer service. And this was for YEARS (4 at least if not longer than that). They have put out some pretty dangerous poles….moreso than some possible nickel allergies or *supposed* lead issues (plain old biology and chemistry prove that incorrect). It finally looks as though PS has taken note and is trying to improve not only their quality control but also their image. The thread you are speaking of got closed for other reasons. If Erica wanted to clear the air, she very well could have by starting another thread instead of blatantly ignoring a request by the owner of this board. This is just plain rude and disrespectful.
This board has always been a sounding board for us to speak but it should always be done respectfully. The things I have said about Platinum Stages have been my OWN personal experiences. I have not tried to spread rumors on half truths and speculation or fear mongering as many others have. Typically I will rebut conversations with chemically/scientifcally sound proof.
I have an Xpole now, I had a LilMynx and I have worked on PS poles. I have had quite a few problems with my stages as they really are not designed for the rigors of a classroom. I will openly tell people about those problems *if they ask* but I am not going to come on this or any board and blast XPole just to blast XPole. I can honestly say that each and every time I have talked to Kimara I KNOW that my issues have been taken back to their engineering department and usually within 6 months changes have been made to remedy a wide spread problem. PS never did this (this may have changed) For over 3 years they have had issues with the threads of their multipiece poles. THREE YEARS. My girlfriend just ordered one over the summer and she had to get another piece because the threads were bad. It is things like this, things like them emailing people on FB asking them to call to discuss issues and then NEVER making good on their promises, their horrible horrible horrible customer service up to Erica coming on board that have given them a black mark among polers. It is not a bias that was generated by Veena or Webmaster, it is a bias the Platinum Stages created themselves. You cannot remove 4 years of "bad" with 6 months of "good".

The flash cards are exactly the same as the moves in their dictionary and you can download that for free!

I think I am going to block all talk about this. Between our 10 year anniversary earlier that month and my mom's 80th birthday travelling to Chicago is just not an option.
-
Yeah, I about choked on that price!

The pole cover can be something as simple as the weather. The cover and the pole itself are probably different materials and definitely different thicknesses which means they are going to react differently to atmospheric conditions. Mine has always been a tight fit and I don't have a problem with that. I want that puppy staying put.
Not to discredit you but I will say that new polers are probably harder on their poles than experienced polers.
-
This is fairly recent and they have not updated their site regarding it.
Which reminds me…I need to call her myself!
-
Learned something new today!!
-
You could have called. Kimara is now located on the east coast and starts answering her phone at 8am EST. They now have customer service hours of 8am EST to 5pm PST
-
You state from 3 vantage points but did you actually check with a level? You need to check both top and bottom with a level on 2 planes (90 abgles to each other). You could possibly have mashed your carpeting in a different direction when installing the pole this time.
When you tightened the 3 screws did you make sure that they are in the grooves and not on the threads?
-
Are you sure that the pole is level in 2 directions?
Are you sure that you tightened the xjoints properly?
-
The bottom of that looks metal…I thought the original PS stages were wood?
But it is definitely a PS pole. If it is only $200 that is a STEAL as those poles new are anywhere from $500-$700. One bad part about them is that the pole itself is only about 6 feet tall.
-
Holy Crap Empy!! I cannot believe that snap! I would freak out!
PoleDollqld…you are cracking me up! I am usually the one who posts the sarcastic metal contents….
Erica, are you going to tell me that PS makes the adjuster rod and adjuster cover out of brass and there is no reinforcement whatsoever at the top or bottom of the pole? How does your brass withstand the forces that are applied especially at these points? How are you not stripping the threads on the adjuster cover and rod when you secure the pole…do you also have a brass locking nut? This is what I meant that you have steel parts or some other type of metal and that your brass poles are not all brass.

The only other video I have seen lately that had part of Sexy and I know it in it was the Aera Polesque video, but it did not have the whole song. Marlo was dressed as the snowman and was booty poppin while handing upside down I think.

Was it on here or on YT?

The pole part itself will be shorter than 91 inches. You have to have room to be able to tilt the pole into place when you are installing it. This also gives you room to make the pole tight when you install it.
-
Looks like the only place that was open closed for "relocation" back in March.
-
abonavo- the pole and the top and bottom are 3 separate pieces. Basically all Sensual did was flip the pole…the bottom piece and top dome are still in teh same location. It is in teh bottom base piece that the pin is in to make it static/spin.
-
My bad….I interchange 50 mm and 2" in my brain all the time so I really did not catch that nuance. LM did used to have 2" and 1.75" but now I see they are calling theirs 45 and 50mm. PS is still using English.

Empy…..huh? Have you not had your coffee yet this morning? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh, all are safe if installed properly.
