I just logged on and it has been about 9 years since I logged on. All my videos are gone. Were all of them deleted when you redid the site? Are we able to share videos directly without a link like we can pictures?

That’s weird. I wonder if it was just a mistake and she didn’t notice you were active. Hmm. I can ask her if you want. I haven’t posted in there but I like and comment so I think it was a mistake.

Was it the booty bounce group? If it was its because she was removing people that never posted stuff I believe. It wasn’t to be rude or anything. If it is that group I’m sure you could be added back in. She is a nice person and I wouldn’t take it personal. I belong to a few groups and some are horrible but others are awesome. I’m not going to name any on either side but feel free to message me about any!

For safety… I personally would not get any pole other than an xpole, lil minx or platinum stages. I have owned a lil minx, and the one from spencers at the mall (not the carmen elektra one, the one meant for tricks etc.) 2 xpoles and a cheap one from amazon. I will not buy another brand other than xpole as of yet. Nothing wrong with the other 2 pro brands I mentioned, I just prefer the way it holds and doesn’t make my ceiling creak like the lil minx. Also the lil minx I could pole the bottom out too easily regardless of the flooring and anti slip mat it comes with. I have used that brand on carpet and hardwood and laminate. But others have had no problems whatsoever with them. Just stick with the 3 pro brands mentioned and make sure it is installed properly and you should be fine. Stay away from the cheap amazon/ebay ones and make sure any xpole etc.. dealer is legit!!

Sorry so long!! Just wanted to share some info and it is just my preference and experience.
I have personally owned a chrome pole, titanium gold pole and a powder coated pole. I have used stainless steal, brass, and a pole sleeve. I prefer for myself powder coated or brass. I just got my chrome 45 xpert powder coated at a local shop black glitter 🙂
I tend to sweat easily and my grip can be horrible even on a powder coated, but brass and powder coated have been the best so far. It depends on your skin, weather (humidity etc) and if you are really sweaty. If you found yourself constantly having to wipe the pole and or keep applying grip aids during your practice or both then you might like a powder coated. But they can be too grippy for some. It really just depends though and it can change from day to day. The ideal situation would be to try a powder coated. Or even a chrome pole or TG might be a little more grippy for you. You can always find a playground with powder coated equipment and try it out lol. If you don’t have a problem with the stainless steel and you are trying to save money, they can be the cheapest of the finishes.
My titanium gold was a little more grippy than stainless or chrome. Brass is awesome for me but I wouldn’t want it for static spins, it’s a little uncomfortable lol. I am soo ungrippy that I have to use grip aids on my powder coated and when I use a brass. I get super sweaty and no matter what your pole is, sweat will make you slip and also it can gunk up the pole if you are using too much grip aids and you can get the opposite effect. So if you have to apply a lot all the time then get a grippier pole. Not all grip aids or poles are the same for everyone though. Some people find stainless steal just fine. Demographics can play a role as far as weather is concerned too. It is just all personal preference.
I agree to not buy a cheap pole. Save a little more money if you have too. I have had crappy poles and seen others and they suck lol. They fall,break and even bow really bad in the middle. I had mine fall with me on it and I almost went through a 60″ plasma tv. Stick with professional brands like xpole, lil minx and platinum stages and be wary of any suppliers on ebay and amazon. LOTS and lots of knock offs claiming to be xpole etc..

Yeah everytime i have tried, it wont work.

I’m krazypolerchick 🙂 and my art account is ifuknloveart
-
You mean to tell me i can take a bath and pole? My 2 favorite things!!! Lol seriously
-
I would go for laminate or sprung flooring. Hardwood is too hard. My oak hardwood in one of my rooms is like cement on the knees. When we remove the carpet from my living room/pole space lol, i am putting laminate over the hardwood.
-
My ceiling is about 7-8 feet. I got the 10ft from Fabpole. I just tie up the ends if it keeps wrapping around the pole. If you had tall ceilings i would go for a larger size personally.
-
Yes!!
-
And Platinumani, you said it perfect! Took the words right out of my head. Not empowering at all to hear the way some people are describing moves..seriously. Makes me want to rebel!! lmao
-
Yeah, makes me want to go do all these “Dirty” moves and make a dirty girl montage 😉
I personally love a lot of these moves even though some i can’t do and some i can but don’t use it in dances. I just like to be able to do stuff just because lol. I personally like all the sexy moves like teddy, wavy legs, booty scoot, wrist sit etc.. I agree though, there is a trashy way and a tasteful way to execute most. Also wardrobe plays a big part 😉
If I wanna feel strippery and dance like that, then I do. If I am feeling artsy fartsy i will try that. My tastes and styles change depending on my mood and I find some moves not very pretty depending on who is doing it. But I generally like all moves and they all require skill to execute well so yeah… To each their own!

Happy birthday!!!

So I finally got the money refunded and they took $20 off the price of the outfit so half off. I am just glad it’s over. As far as the cell phone thing and hard to get a hold of, the last person i talked to said they were pretty small and do a lot of work from their personal phones. I don’t think they have any departments so to speak, it is just a few people I believe. So I got my money back and got a discount so it all worked out and I would buy from them again, I love the outfit, but I would use cash lol
-
Money still hasn’t been transferred to my account. I never got a chance to talk to my bank or them today, Ive been sick and didn’t call in time. I’m hoping everything works out and know it will be fixed but if not…I will def let Fawnia know and keep the fraud charge against them. I just don’t get why they couldn’t get this figured out with my bank, professionally. Instead of having me worried and having to do more because of their mistake..
-
Thanks for the info Webby! I do have the text if that would make a difference.. They are a big company or well known i should say so hopefully everything works out. I am going to see what happens tomorrow and still contact my bank to say they are refunding So there is no extra work or investigation being done. I will update when the money comes through 🙂
-
It was Phat Buddha as far as I know. The number I called when I found out was the number on their main website. The girl i spoke with said that they had asked her to handle it because she was one of the girls at the stands..I think the whole thing seems sketchy to me. She texted me a little bit ago and said they had refunded $360 but I checked my bank and nothing is in process yet..I will call them back and my bank first tomorrow to see what is going on. They should have been able to deal with my bank and I should have been able to talk to the business itself, not through an employees personal cell. I wouldn’t have given her my info if i hadn’t already cancelled it. I am calling the bank tomorrow to see whats going on and if the refund will go through since it was cancelled. I asked her that too if it would and she said it should because it is through the bank? Idk… If it doesn’t go through, i will ask to speak with someone in charge. So frustrating lol!
-
So to update again. I just got contacted by someone from phat buddha and they called on their personal phone. They said to send them a picture of the receipt and my cc info so they can reverse the charge. I had canceled my card when I originally contacted my bank to be on the safe side. I asked if they could do this and work with my bank and they said no they can’t contact my bank and do that…I had to text this girl my info on her personal phone. She said she would delete it asap and it would be safe because “they do this all the time” ….Huh? lol. If I hadn’t canceled my info already I would have been hesitant. Why wouldn’t they do this with my bank? Needless to say, i hope they properly reverse the charge and I will only use cash at expo next year..

Actually i wasn’t bad mouthing any person or the business. You misread my intention. I was trying to reason in my head why they would make a huge mistake like that and it was true, the lady needed help and didn’t know what she was doing. I was standing right there! I wasn’t saying what you think Chem..Re-read my post. Sorry if I came across as over emotional or rude but I still stand by what i said. I have nothing against you chem or anyone else, just don’t like it when people tell me what i should and shouldn’t be posting. This was an issue i was trying to get help for, not just coming on to rant. Yes my language can be harsh sometimes but I was mad and I still am! It is nothing personal against anybody, I just don’t think you or anyone else knows what is best for me and how I should handle situations. I wasn’t posting anything inappropriate besides maybe a few choice words.. but I was trying to be as professional as i could considering my emotional state at the time. Like everyone else is perfect? I generally like what you post, but sometimes not. This..not so much. It was not helpful to me because it had nothing to do with my actual questions and I felt you just posted to say I was in the wrong for posting this. Sorry if i came across as rude or a smart ass, sometimes those filters are hard to employ when you are upset.
Nothing in my original post was rude to anyone. I didn’t name anyone except the company and I wasn’t bad mouthing any person or them. Just trying to figure it out. I did update as well before you posted your response and in my original post, i mentioned what my bank said so that right there was a clue that i had already contacted my bank so that didn’t need to be said. I took your response as you just saying something that sounded helpful just so you can say what i shouldn’t be posting. That is rude to me. Sorry if my perception was wrong but so was yours… I will update again when they contact me. I have yet to hear from them..I sent them 2 messages and one voicemail. You would think they would have contacted me back given the nature of the situation. It has almost been a full business day for the east coast (where they are at) but still nothing..Bad customer service in my book.

I did update the thread. Even Before that response about “This isn’t the way to handle it” I just don’t like people that think they know how people should handle things and do things especially when they know nothing about the person and their situation. And to come on a public forum and tell people what they should and shouldn’t be posting is pretty snooty to me. Sorry but that’s my opinion. I have nothing against anyone here, still, and people can have their opinions. I still think i was in the right to post this and i wasn’t coming out and saying it was def fraud and blowing shit out of proportion, I even said i will pay for what I bought but I wasn’t going to pay for a typo, so it wasn’t like i came out and was saying they ripped me off on purpose..
Pheonix Hunter makes a great point. I may not be the only one. And you never know, it could be fraud. Phat Buddha is a legit company so i was thinking more of a typo but when my bank said they manually put in my card and everything else, it threw up red flags because I used cash and the rest was scanned with credit card scanners so i didn’t understand why they manually put everything in…Besides those phone card scanners are sketchy to me so I was on it! I am not going to feel bad because I posted this. Period.
-
Actually thats why i said POSSIBLE fraud. Because of what my bank told me. That is a big honest mistake to make and i have dealt with this stuff before and it is a pain in the ass so really they should pay more attention to what they are doing instead of causing problems for their customer so I have every right to come on a forum and ask questions. How do you know it wasn’t a mistake?? Do you? Didn’t think so. I know what to do and i did all that already. I can post whatever I want. I was posting to try to get all the puzzle pieces until I remembered I had the expo map and figured it out for myself. I was asking a question and if you didn’t have an answer except to tell me what i shouldn’t be doing then don’t bother. I am a big girl and can say and do what i want. I was pissed off and frustrated, you don’t know what else is going on in my life and my financial situation so you really have no say in anything.

I’m KrazyPolerChick on instagram but I too just opened up. I remember meeting you at expo 🙂 Instagram is kinda dumb imo..They also pretty much own your pics once posted. So photographers beware lol..

Aysha handspring into iron x or extended butterfly into caterpillar then into shoulder dismount.

Thanks. i figured it out. It was my blingy outfit pictured. It was $40 not $400. I had to look at the expo map to remember. I remember the lady having a hard time and someone else had to help her so I think it was just a typo or something. They better fix it. I hope I didn’t sign for it and not realizing it said $400! I have the receipt though but there is no price or order number!! What? Just my name, email, and the name of the outfit.
