Have you called them?

My first fall was out of a caterpillar climb and it took quite some time for me to try it again (it was my own stupidity for pushing to fatigue). And then once I started going to a studio that had 10 foot poles it was probably a year before I could get my head past a 6 foot mark.

Have you contacted Pleaser? That is just crappy quality!
-
Are these mostly clear ones that have been breaking? Where do you keep them when you are not wearing them? Where are they breaking?
I would say that probably storage conditions prior to you buying them is going to be the #1 culprit. And clear plastic is going to be worse than the pvc coated fabrics just by nature.

Craigslist! I have seen so many bathroom mirrors listed for next to nothing. For about $80 you can also pick up mirrored closet doors at lowes or home depot. But check Craigslist first. I search large mirror.

Many newer TVs have 15 pin ports where you can use your TV as a monitor. I have done this numerous times with the little piece of crap netbook I bought years ago.

Legs, it is not designed for the pole the we do.

Kori, please elaborate??

I have a feeling we are going to start seeing a lot of shapes. I hate to say I am not sure if I like the look of this. It looks like the apparatus itself is bouncing which was very distracting to me.

Most of my heels are in the 5.75 to 6.5 range, mainly because that is the most popular height and has the greatest variety. That said, I killed my beater/trainers and ended up getting a pair off ebay. I had no idea until I got them that they are almost 8″. I have been having the biggest problem with my calves cramping in them when I dance. I am not sure what the big difference is however the cramping is ridiculous (the angle of the foot is no different than my lower heels). I would not suggest jumping from 6 to 8 but stepping up to 7’s first.

There were planned outings at some studios when this came out in the theater.

I will preface this by stating that I did not use this with my X, but with my LM pole. Mine was out in the garage and I used a piece of paneling on the ground and put my pole on top of it. I never once had an issue of the paneling moving and it was a cheap fix.

Still did not have issues with it moving but I had more problems with stubbed toes and twisted landings when I had it down than when I had solid flooring.

I just buy boy cut underwear and go with that. But then again, I have a REALLY hard time paying over $15 for even summer shorts that I wear all the time. You may also want to check out the side ties from Mika. I am not sure if it is the Mikaela or the Lucia that a lot of girls at my studio wear. Also, many of the pictures on the site are of Amber Richards and she is 5’10”.

I have a lot of photographer friends who get upset when people crop their watermark off of a photo or do not give them proper credit, but not a single one that I know would be such a dick to sue someone over using one of their photos. Most photographers (at least the ones I know that photograph events) don’t have the time nor money for that.

I want one soooooooo bad.

What specifically is creaking? There are 2 bearings on the pole….one in the dome and one in the base. They are fir the most part sealed bearings but they can be lubricated. Best is a light machine oil….3in1 or many times if you have a sewing machine or electric razor you already have some lying around.
-
There are so many posts and blogs about the twisted grip and how it is really not good for you. Your body is screaming NO…..when are you going to listen?
-
You will be surprised how quickly you will build the strength to do it! Jamilla (I think it was her videos) had a really good way to start these and that was you band one knee and balance on your tip toes then lower that leg and band the other. In time you will be able to get both feet off the ground, even if just a split second.
-
Yes it was. Sadly those that worked extremely hard to make it happen have been pushed to the side. Also the male pole dancer who was up there with us impressed the hell out of the committee however the group that has taken over has opted not to allow men to compete, even though the qualifying comps did.
-
Where did you get the new pieces? The old xpole brass was a brushed finish and the new is polished. I personally would contact and get the new polished replacements.
-
Stainless is HORRIBLE in the cold, at least for me. I can tolerate it when it is warmer, which is why I can use it here in NC but had a bad time with it in Ohio. Again, it all depends on your body chemistry. I personally do not like brass, but I know many who do, and me and chrome get along just fine.
What has been your problem with your past poles?
-
Beware of BB.com; at times it can be filled with a lot of broscience and you can hurt yourself even more. A really good place that is geared specifically to women is Oxygen. It is probably the best and most researched magazine I have found that is aimed at women who lift. http://www.oxygenmag.com/

It comes down to money. Most performers rely on tips, so how would these people get paid?
If you want that on stage feeling check out many of the showcases that happen locally or even the big ones during Midwest and the Michigan pole fest.

The closest I have come is some of the places that regularly hold burlesque shows.

I used to hate, and I mean HATE 45s. It seemed the only thing it was good for was getting into superman. Now I hate to say that I kinda prefer it. I will say that anything leg hold wise was difficult to adjust but now it is not a big deal. You will adapt. And boo n this freaking cold weather but it is supposed to be near 60 this weekend so don’t bum too much.
