    I have not had one but I know quite a few ladies who have.  You need to look at the scars that tummy tucks leave and decide whether you can live with it.  It comes down to th elesser of two evils.  Also, while I have not had a tummy tuck I have had surgery that left a bikini scar.  I am not sure if they cut across the muscles with TT's but it will take quite some time to heal if they do and any ab work will be out of the question until all is healed.

     

    I had looked at alternatives for my husband a few years back and remember reading something about a procedure called Thermage.  It may be an option and it is non invasive.

    Falling down?  What do you mean?

     

    I would never suggest that anyone use gloves or grip aids in the beginning unless they had issues with hyperhidrosis.  This is a crutch that I do not believe should be used, just as learning to climb just with boots/shoes etc I do not believe should be done.  If you do not learn the proper grip from the get go what will ever make you learn it?

     

    This is me.

    As far as I can see it is a barefoot only type move.  In oder to get the extension needed you need to press the foot against the pole…no way you are doing that with heels on.

    Spring break is typically a week and for college students it is usually a week of drunken stupidness in some place warm.  Used to be Daytona, then it moved to Panama City, and I am not sure of the hot spot now.  It kind of comes down to needing some sort of break duting the semester.  In fall we have a day for Labor Day, a few days for Thanksgiving and then typically a week or more for Christmas.  There is nothing in the spring, so we have our dreariest months punctuated with no days off.  Also once the weather starts to warm people get "spring fever" and cutting classes on nice days seems like a good idea.

    Last years Spring Break theme was cute so maybe something along that line?  Songs with beaches or islands or warm places in the lyrics?

    It looks like an over extended Ooona split.  If you watch any of Oona's video's you can see how she gets into her signature move.

    Do you know the cause of the dry, rough and cracked heels?  Some times things like this are caused by a fungus.  Coconut oil works wonders for things like this, as well as foot soaks in either listerine or a dilute cider vinegar solution.  Coconut oil has antibacterial properties as well as serving as a moisturizer.  Other things like gold bond lotion might be an option.

    So this is my story.  Many moons ago when I worked at a pharmaceutical company one of the big things was to go to lunch at the strip club.  They had a $5 buffet and the food was pretty good.  Very few women went because they were too uptight to go to a strip club, but there were a few of us that did.  Most of teh time the girls working during the day weere nothing to write home about.  I distinctly remember this one woman…and I call her a woman because she at least doubled the age of the rest that wre working that day.  Again, not much to look at but she got on stage and worked it…I mean, WORKED it.  She did some aerial stuff and I remember her using the side rails to do push ups or some sorts of craziness.  It was the coolest thing I ever saw.  This was a good 16-17 years ago.

     

    Fast forward to 2007.  I had to travel to Holland for business and my husband came with me.  We spent some extra time outside of my training which included a few days in Amsterdam and also going to a few clubs.  It seemed like every club we went to had a pole but not once did I see anyone using them.  I so wanted to play but I knew nothing about pole dancing and I was not about to make a fool of myself.  Once back in the states I started trying to find info about about learning.  At that time the only thing that was well known was S Factor.  I had also called many of the strip clubs to see if tehre was anything but there was nothing.  A club I go to locally installed a pole and they knew of someone and told me if I could get a total of 10 girls they would have this lady come in and teach.  I got the girls but unfortunately the owners of the club had a death in theri family so that fell through.  I was too impatient.  I was looking at getting a (peek a boo) then realized that I could get a semi decent pole for about another $70.  I bid and won a pole off ebay.  After paying the seller totally disappeard off the planet.  I filed a dispute and set about getting another pole.  Just as I won another pole the seller of the original reappeared and told me they had shipped the pole, providing the tracking info.  I tried getting in contact with the second seller and lo and behold she had also shipped the pole.  So here I was with 2 used Lil Mynx poles on their way.  I ended up keeping the hot pink one and selling the black one to a friend.

     

    December 10, 2007 she was UP!  I borrowed the S Factor book from the library and set about trying to follow what was on the pages.  I ended up buying the first video and then all 3.  The only other things out there I could find was PoleCats (Shawn Francis Lee) and Pantera.  I was also involved on the S Factor forum and was taking in every bit of info I could. 

    I ended up finding a studio in Cleveland but the first time I was supposed to go out we had a bad snow storm so that killed that trip.  In the mean time I had to go to Bryan Texas for business and took 3 back to back classes at S Factor Houston…that was about April.  By this time I was already inverting and trying laybacks on my own.  I had CKR down and learned CAR and ankle hold while I was there, not to mention doing a little lap dancing and just soaking in all of the lushness that S Factor studios offer.  This was also the first time I had gotten to dance with other women and really feel the love "in person" that this community provides.  That totally sealed my fate.

    On top of a foam roller, a tennis ball and a wall works wonders for getting those little buggars that like to hide around your shoulder blade that you cannot get with a foam roller.
