You know you’re a pole dancer if…
you buy 5 of the biggest bottles of rubbing alcohol you can find at a time and go through them in two months
you look at lingerie/shorts at the store and think "oh i’d look really cute if i wore these to dance to (insert song)!!!"
when it’s your turn to pick a place to go out, there is coincidentally always a pole at that bar and you have the same watered down drink for 2 hours because you’re too busy playing on the pole to rememeber you ordered a cocktail…and dont want to get drunk!
this is my personal favorite…when your family/husband/roommate no longer comes running when they hear big thuds!!!!!!

I am sooo sad MJ died, I still can’t believe it. I used to be seriously obsessed with him when I was younger, my mom would tape all his videos on a VHS tape for me so I could watch them all and I would put the tape on, get a mitten out of the closet, put it on and pull a piece of hair down in front of my eyes and dance around the living room trying to copy his moves, crotch grabs included. Ok that was embarrassing…ahem..anyway…
I think that it’s really sad how badly he was scrutinized by the media. I do agree it was odd that he had friendships with so many young children but I honestly think it was because he was robbed of a real childhood since he grew up with the entire world watching him. I don’t think it’s far fetched to think that he befriended children because he wanted to try to find some to way to experience the childhood innocence he never got to have. A lot of people who were child stars don’t seem to have a normal adulthood but I feel like MJ was criticized moreso for this than other celebrities. He was never convicted of anything so I think it’s really unfair of people to assume the things they do about him. Especially now that he’s dead, it is so disrespectful to keep berating him. Let it lie people! No matter what he did in his personal life, he was still the best entertainer and performer of our time. The fact that when he died he crashed Google, Twitter and AIM says a lot about his stature I think. I’m sure most people have some sort of childhood memories related to him regardless of how they felt about him as a person. I know I will miss him!

Thats great youve lost 10 lbs! I lost about 30 lbs total over a period of 2 years and i had the same problem..ive been trying to lose 10 more for about a year now and it just wont budge https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif A lot of times you might need to shake up your eating pattern…your body might be used to the lower calories its getting so if you eat a little extra for a few days (just about 200-400 cals extra than normal, nothing crazy) that might help you shock your system into losing weight. There’s a theory that your body can figure out how much fuel you give it in terms of food. There’s another method called the zig-zag eating pattern where you eat the same amount of calories in total but you redistribute them differently…so say your weekly total is 8400 (1200 cals/day) one day you might eat 1200, the next day 1400, the next day 1000, etc etc so at the end of the week it all adds up to 8400. That method did work for me for a while. 1200 cals is the absolute minmum you should eat if youre dieting (which you probably know already https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif ) so you may need to adjust that to your specific caloric needs. You probably are eating more since you’re working out. But try that and it might help https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Ooh I almost missed this post! I’m glad you did a recap, maybe this can be my official "amateur night" thread since I’ve done a few now haha!!!!
I think Joel summed it all up better than I even could….the two sisters were really amazing on the pole. At one point one of them was swinging around on the ceiling beams, it was quite intense!
One thing that did happen to me that was kind of strange/exciting was that they had all the "amateurs" corralled into this cabana area where I waited last time except this time they had a pole in there so all of us that could pole took some turns doing tricks. Not to be haughty but I think my pole skills were on par with the rest of the dancers and a lot of them had been dancing for a while. I had really heavy knee length boots on and the pole was a 50 and I use a 45 so I was a little nervous about doing any tricks in case I missed them and looked stupid….but I nailed EVERY TRICK! It was soooo weird! One girl tried to do a shoulder mount and missed…so then I stepped up to do one assuming I would miss it too because I only get them about half the time I try and NEVER with shoes on…and I did it on the 50 pole with the million pound boots on too! Then I did a bodywave and I even taught another girl how to do superman…it was just insane. I think it must have been reverse performance anxiety or something because I did way better than I do when I’m at home practicing by myself!

Okay I am still at home in Chicago so my plan to crash your wedding and yell "COOTER" during the part where you say your vows didnt end up panning out https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif But really I wish you a wonderful day and a wonderful marriage, Derm better treat you like a princess or I’m gonna come there and kick him! And you’re still my baby momma even if you’re married to someone else https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hmm it could be early stages of carpal tunnel, not to scare you! There are ways you can prevent it though. I know this sounds dorky and it might be uncomfortable for a few nights but if you sleep with the wrist braces on, it will help relax the nerve that’s causing the shooting pains. Also definitely wear them when you’re on the computer (I say that while sitting here not wearing mine..bad Glitter! bad girl!) and one of those squeezy exercise balls can help too. I have CT and weve been so busy at work my hands are killing me from decorating so i feel your pain. try that stuff and see if any of it helps!
-
Im not too sure about the shoulder pain but you should have it looked at by a doctor if youre in pain in case it is joint related, ive had pole injuries and i just say i hurt it lifting weights or working out, theyll never know the difference! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I dunno if I’ll be much help with this either, but I rarely do sit ups. I have to back up Rouge in saying a lot of it is the duration of how long you can hold moves that engage your abs. I also try to do exercises where I work different muscles in my abs because I agree with the school of thinking that your abs should be trained in sections and not as just one muscle but Veena might disagree since she’s a fancy trainer and all https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif Lately I’ve been doing leg raises while hanging off of a pull up bar at the gym and those are killer!
Stacey the same thing happened to me with sm!

Ok talked to the doctor..and nothing is wrong! He just said he wanted to talk to me about my test results and if I knew any reasons I could be peeing so much, sorry if that’s too much info! But I yelled at him for phrasing it so poorly haha..I was worried!
Oh and I talked to my dad and when I told him it was nothing he said "I was kind of hoping the dr. was going to tell you he found out you were pregnant from your urine sample…I want to be a grandpa!" Ewwwww! No way!
-
Oh I also wanted to add this and jellycat’s post reminded me…you can get on generic brands of the pill for cheap too, and your regular doctor/gyno can prescribe them. They have the same amounts of everything the brand name pills have. I’m on tri-sprintec and paying nine bucks a month, its great https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Dont be embarrassed! Do you remember my post about how I started bleeing everywhere after knockin boots?! Im also about to post my own health issue thread too (yes another one) so dont feel self conscious or whatever. Hopefully its just stress…although you said you were on Nuvaring and getting off birth control can affect your cycle. Maybe youre just stressed and arent getting a period this month? Thats happened to me before and it was before I was sexually active so I for sure wasn’t pregnant. Which also means I guess I’m not capable of any immaculate conceptions either, but anyway…I know how worrisome it can be to not know whats up with your body. Whens your appointment at the family planning place? Try not to stress about it too much even though thats much easier said than done!

Oh girl I am so sorry to hear this but it sounds to me like you feel in your heart it’s the best thing for you to do. It seems like you’re finally putting yourself first and as difficult as it might be to leave a relationship that has lasted for so many years, if you aren’t getting the love and support you need then you need to find someone who will give it to you or just venture off and be on your own for a little while. We are all here for you and I find you to be a very inspiring dancer and woman for going through all this. I will be keeping you in my thoughts, stay strong, we all love you! xoxo

Oh honey don’t beat yourself up! I had a pole party and some of the girls were doing spins it took me weeks to learn on their first try! This is advice I’m not great at following myself but everyone moves at their own pace. I’ve been stuck on the darn Superman for ages now and Foxy Rei got it on her first try! It was upsetting but you have to remember you are yourself and not your twin. I’m sure there’s moves you can do well that she would struggle with so try to keep it in perspective. I don’t want you feeling sad, pole is supposed to be about fun not about how much we can or cant accomplish. Keep going you’ll get there https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif

ooh what a cool idea, i added myself!

Or you can move to chicago…but id never get anything done because we’d be pole jamming all the time!

Pleasers tend to run a size small in my experience so you might want to go bigger anyway. If you go with Zappos.com you can order two pairs in different sizes with free shipping and their return policy is fabulous so you can send the smaller pair packing. Theyre not the absolute cheapest but after you add shipping on most other sites, it pretty much ends up costing about the same.

As the resident makeup artist I think I’d force her to let me do her makeup for them! Omg she should do it richard simmons style with all of us in leotards in the background..hahahaha amazing.

OMG THIS MADE ME SOOOOOOOOOO MAD. SO MAD!!!! I can’t even organize my thoughts right now because I am just so overwhelmed with anger at this whole situation.
OK let me try to calm down so I can make rational thoughts here. Unfortunately people are always so scared of anything they perceive as "different" that they have negative opinions about it. People are scared of so many things that aren’t "normal" and it makes me so sad and angry. I see in no way shape or form how you could have physically harmed anyone with your videos and as long as you aren’t harming anyone then it shouldn’t be an issue!
This is going to sound very mean so I’m going to apologize in advance and I know there are exceptions…but I was raised Catholic and I find that a lot of people who practice Catholicism/similar religions are always the first people to throw stones. I think they’re too scared to take a minute to assess their own lives and look at their own sins and own up to them. Instead they have to spend time calling out other people because they’re too scared to own up to their own faults.
I don’t think God would have given you the talent to be the wonderful dancer you are if you weren’t supposed to be doing something with it. And even though all those people are hating on you because they’re jealous and/or closed minded, even if you inspire one person with your videos then you’re accomplishing something. And I know I have definitely been inspired by them and I know everyone on this site has too…so don’t stop! Don’t let those unhappy people bring you down. Sadly it seems like for every person that wants you to succeed there are five people trying to drag you down…but dont stop posting!! We all love you and you’re a huge inspiration to everyone so dont let those meanies drag you down!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_spiderman.gif
