I would work at a club before doing this, but that is me. I know someone who does work for a site…well, she and her husband. He photographs her and people pay to see the pictures. She will have people send her items to have photos taken with. I know a few years back they were making $2000+ a month but I am not sure if it is still the same today. I will also add that he has tricks to making the photos/her look good and she has had a ton of plastic surgery. I wish I could remember the name of the site…..

This makes more sense but to me is only part of what I consider a "superman"; this is just a way to condition yourself on the hold but not a typical "entry". There is a video on YT by Boomloulou that has a bunch of entries into superman. The following thread has a lot of sugegstions along with a link to said video:

A couple things with SM…I personally would work on holding a shoulder mount V as long as possible…..get used to hanging out in that position. I would also try working on getting into a shoulder mount from the floor or working on a reverse shoulder mount, controlling that puppy all the way down. When I SM I will usually use that as a different way of getting into a caterpillar climb. Google Aerial Amy and look at her shoulder mount blog.

Pole climbs and sits are the first thing that I teach my students as their first "painful" move. If you look back through all of the threads you will find numerous threads complaining about the pain involved in sitting. It DOES subside, as does the pain in your feet.

and obviously the inability to spell, just like you V!

My husband, a decent job, my health, freinds I have made through pole, my doggies, my family

I just realized that my post sounded kind of negative and a little biotchy.
Ther are a lot of threads here about competitions, preparation for them , people being upset about not getting chosen, after the fact of the comp…all sorts of really good information. There is sooooo much more to every comp than just being able to do tricks. Most require a certain amount of floor work, a certain number of aerial moves, how long you have to hold moves, etc etc etc.
Here is a good example of requirements: http://www.midwestpoledancing.com/ValuationPrizes.htm

Happy in the House!!! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

Just because you can "do" a move does not mean you can work it into a routine. Most competitions are looking for you being able to string floorwork and aerial work together and do it in a way that is unique. If you read any of the blogs that competitiors have written it is not about how many tricks you can do. I have "gotten" moves but it will usually be 6 months to a year before I can work that move into a freestyle dance. You have to be able to do it almost without thinking about it.
How are you crushing your butt bone on a superman? I cannot even grasp how that is possible.
I really like ping on itunes and also 8track.com for new music. I try to search out the S Factor girls on ping because they always have great music that their students are bringing in. Veruca Blue also has some great music on her blog: http://fearofflight.wordpress.com/

Holy crap! That stoy happened in the city where I work! Well. at least that is whre the kids was from. Thing is, people who are this sick are going to find any means they can to unleash their venom.

I have only been to the Houston studio once but was very active on the forum when it was one of the only forums around. Being what we called an "at home girl" was definitely more challenging than being able to go to a studio and unleash your vixen once a week. Even now I find the only time "she" comes out to play really is when we go to a club that has a pole. Something about the darkened room, loud music and being watched unleashes her.

Do you have the original series?
Best advice I can give is to turn the lights down low, crank the music up and just move. Get in touch with every part of your body….concentrate on how your hair feels, on how your clothes feel, on the way your muscles feel. It is all about slowing it down and luxuriating in the moment. When you slow things dow it makes everything a million times harder. You really have to tell your body to engage instead of relying on momentum to get you from point a to point b.
A big part of S is also accepting your body which is probably one of the hardest things for women to do. Once you hang up all of the negativity you have about your body and just move in a way that feels good you would be amazed at how sensual you can move.

I learned about Indeed about a year ago. It will pull postings from all the major job sites and also local companies. It is kind of like Kayak but for jobs.
And a quick note on Craigslist, it really depends on your area. There are quite a few legitimate postings here in Ohio for jobs and I have even been on an interview with one.

Thank you Lindsey!!

The spinning problem is 2 fold: not lining the pole up properly in the first place and not tightening the joint properly. I know that some of our joints got messed up because when putting B pole on top of the joint the holes were not lined up and poeple just spun the pole around to get them to line up instead of lifting and spinning the pole. The other problem was not cranking the crap out of the joint. Yes…you have to seriously put all of your weight into tightening them…a "just tight" WILL NOT WORK and will cause problems. Even on the joints that we had with retracted pins we were able to use without them spinning.
I know quite a few people (me including) that got screwdriver handles because allen keys are such a pain to use, but a screwdriver handle with a hex bit will not give you enough torque necessary to tighten these properly.
The new design I beleive is a screw pin so there is a possibility that with time vibrations may cause it to push in a bit. I have not taken one of the new ones apart to see exactly how it is constructed (yet). And come on Amy…..you know you have done that same thing!

I would also be sure that any of your female students are going to be ok with a guy in their classes.

What is the new pole? I am not sure if they make this in a 45 or not.
Here are the pics:

I think they are about $20? I am going to upload some pics to my profile of them.
-
Was it of you? I have not heard of videos taken off FB for this unless it was of a professional dancer or a competition and you did not have permission to post it.
-
How wide is it? I would not cut it as most fabrics have a tighter weave at the edges which prevents fraying. And no, do not hem it.

It is generally the people who have issues with their own sexuality and sensuality that make the biggest stinks.

I was not stating that mineral makeup does not have its advantages. I was making comment on mineral makeup being "natural". I was also pointing out some other things that people may not think about. I work with minerals all day long but in an industrial setting. I can attest that bacteria will grow on anything that has been exposed to air as long as it has food (skin cells, moisture, etc). This is true for anything which is why we need to throw out our makeup and clean our applicators regularly, which most do not do.

I think it is easier as an inside leg hang as you will not be reaching across your body to grab the hanging leg.
Here, let me try to explain. If you are in an inside leg hang, your inside arm is in front of the pole, outside is behind. Much easier to reach back with the outside arm to grab that outside leg and then move the body behind the pole.
Now switch…outside leg hang the inside arm is still in front of the pole. Now you have to reach diagonally acrodd your body to grab the "free" leg, which is your inside leg. Your body is going to be twisted making getting your body on the opposite side of the pole more difficult….at least this is how I see it in my mind.

Ok, I am just gonna say it and be done….no mineral makeup is "natural". It is all processed and possibly chemically produced or purified in a lab. Minerals are pulled from the ground….they are not going to just grind them up and let you put them on your face.
Also please be very careful with powders like these that contain no preservatives as any amount of moisture (like where we store most of our makeup…in the bathroom) can cause "nasties" to grow in it. There is also an issue of breathing these fine powders and there is currently a huge push for measuring their size and respirable concerns.
