OMG!! I was afraid I’d never get to see that. I loved it; she is so ridiculously sexy when she dances. Her bendiness is mind-boggling. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif And to think she did all that right after dislocating her knee.
Thanks for putting the link up, evelina!

There actually seem to be quite a few husbands/boyfriends who aren’t interested in seeing their SO pole, which surprises me. I would have thought most of them would have been like ‘Ooh yay, my wife’s my own private stripper now!’ (Even though that’s not what it’s about, but that tends to be how men think.)
My boyfriend doesn’t like strip clubs (he’s been once and didn’t care for it,) but he likes to watch me dance. Although, I do the whole show: striptease while I dance, followed by a lapdance. He probably wouldn’t be that interested in just watching me pole, although he did say the moves were entertaining to watch.

Holy crap! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif That was completely amazing. I loved the looks on the judge’s faces.

LOL! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif You’re right!!
I hadn’t even noticed. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif Maybe that explains her level of awesomeness https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gifhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif So having no belly button gives you special powers?
I hadn’t heard of her until the ‘This Is It’ thread, but she is awesome! I love how she moves so well to the music, and the 1:12 move–someone should do a tutorial on that. I’ve never seen it until now.
Also, she’s got really good muscle tone. I don’t know why, but it always impresses me when I see women like that. Maybe because I strength train a lot and appreciate how hard you have to work to get that fit.

I love her dancing! I’ve never seen her before. She has such smooth transistions and she’s so flexible–and I LOVE how she really synchs her moves to match the music.

Being strong enough to do a handstand is a big part of learning to invert, IMO, because it goes back to having an exit strategy, just in case your leg grip gives out, or you’re slippery, or whatever. Tuck and roll is one exit strategy (great if you have a mat, tougher if you’re on bare floor!). When you don’t have a mat, being able to simply put your hands down and support yourself with your arms until you sort your legs back out is always important.
Good for you for slowing down! Safe poling for everyone!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_safesex.gif (I have been ITCHING to use that smiley)
Everyone else has already given really good advice, so I don’t feel the need to add anything, but I think polergirl made a very good point. Lots of strength training is a must in pole dancing, for one because many of the moves require a strength, but it’s also a good safety feature.
Case in point: it’s been very, very cold where I live this winter. One night I was practicing on my pole, and it was so cold I was having trouble getting my legs to stick, which is usually never a problem with me. I was sliding a bit, but nothing too dangerous. Then I hopped off for just a couple of minutes to do something else, got back on for just a last little bit of practice, went into an inverted crucifix, and all of a sudden after hanging in place for a second, I just plunged straight down because the pole had cooled off so much just in the little bit of time I’d been gone. Luckily I can hold myself in a handstand, or else I’d have topped the night off with a nice old face plant.
Everyone slips sometimes, and having the strength to hold up your bodyweight can really save your butt sometimes.

Here’s another good site for lingerie, and they have some pretty good deals on a lot of their stuff:
I spent probably a good half hour, forty minutes looking through it last night and I already have several things I want picked out.

What a dick. He probably saw your arms and felt like his manhood was being challenged because you looked like you could take him in a fight.
I think a lot of guys just like to push obvious female insecurity buttons, and being called ‘fat’ is a big flashing red insecurity button for a lot of women. For instance, one of my sister’s friends used to call me fat, and I am nowhere near overweight, and never have been, unless you are going by anorexic standards. (I’m 5′ 5" and 120 lbs. and have been since I hit my final growth spurt in middle school.) He was just trying to get a rise out of me, and I think a lot of guys do this. They like to pick away at women’s self esteem, because it’s the only way losers like them can ever get any–make the woman think she’s fat and ugly and that she couldn’t ever do better than you, and she’ll have to settle for you.

Thanks for the link, amcut! Those look great. I’m going to look around and see if I can possibly find a U.S. distributer online since international shipping is a pain–although I do like Journey’s idea of maybe getting a bunch of us sweaty SV members together and seeing if we can do some big order and get a discount. It might be worth asking about, at least.
In the meantime, I think I’ll pick up a pair of the MG gloves.

i wonder what mooby dick would think if he knew all these womens across the country think he’s an ass !
Probably say we’re all just a bunch of fat, ugly, wanna-be strippers anyway, because that’s how flailing morons like him think.

Ack! Why did you have to post this?! I just bought a pair of thigh high boots; I can’t afford anything else until my next paycheck!

Welcome to the boards! I think you’ll really enjoy Veena’s lessons; I just purchased them recently as well and while I’ve only had the time to look at a few of them, they are very nicely set up and easy to understand.
You’re not alone in having sweaty hands; I suffer from them too, and they are a major pain. Here’s a thread that was started recently on the same problem that might give you a few ideas of where to start:
https://www.studioveena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3377
Also, if you search these boards, there are several other topics on sweaty hands. Hopefully you’ll get some good ideas from them. It’s just a matter of trial and error and finding out what works for you personally.

Thanks for the input; I’m kind of leaning toward those ones anyway. I would like some slip, just because I’d still like to be able to slide down while my hands are on the pole and still be able to spin and whatnot, I just don’t want the current Vaseline-like mess I’ve got going on. KInda’ makes it hard to get through a whole song when you’re sliding all over the place a minute or two into your dance! Also, my pole doesn’t have spinny mode, so I probably would be better off with the non-tacky ones.
Do you use any other types of gloves? Would you recommend the Mighty Grip over those, or do you feel that there’s a better option out there?

Welcome to the boards!

I’m sorry to hear that; I haven’t had any type of injury like that before, but my advice would be to proceed very carefully and go easy. I know it’s hard, especially when you were looking forward to competitions, but you really don’t want to push this; you could end up making it worse in the long run and then it will take you even longer to heal, which obviously you don’t want.
If you feel like you need a second opinion, then I would go get one. That way you can be confident in your diagnosis and have as much knowledge on hand as you can to heal quickly and efficiently and get back to your training.

Welcome! I’m from Washington myself, but I’m sure you’ll run into someone from AZ soon enough.

If anyone else is looking for sexy shoes, I found this site: http://www.thevividroom.com
They have a ton of Pleasers, as well as Ellie, Demonia, and several other brands, everything from boots to stripper heels, and they’ve got some really good deals.

Horsecrazy – I bought them off snaz75.com. They’re 8.5" heels, I believe they are the first ones listed under the 8" category on the site.
Thanks! I was browsing around that site just the other day–they’ve got some nice stuff.

That’s awesome! It’s definitely taking some time, but there seems to be a general turning of the tide in regards to people’s feelings about pole dancing.
-
Welcome! You’ll do just fine; I’ve seen several ladies that are a little on the bigger side who are beautiful pole dancers. I think most people here will probably tell you to go with X-pole, but as I don’t own one, I can’t give you a personal recommendation, so I’ll let someone else chime in with all the reasons why they love it.

Welcome! I bet you’ll do really well with pole dancing with your background.

Journey gave you a lot of good advice. I don’t have a lot of experience with gloves yet, but I’m starting to try them out because I get pretty sweaty too when I pole. That in combination with a pole that is kind of slippery on its own (stainless steel, plus the weather here is still pretty cold sometimes,) I have some major grip issues. I don’t think I actually have hydrosis, but I’ve always been really sweaty when I work out–I noticed recently when I started bringing my boyfriend to the gym with me that he and I could work out at about the same intensity for the same length of time, and he’d be a little damp while I’d have this nuclear reactor glow going on. So it’s definitely been a bump in the road along my pole dancing journey.
I would recommend trying a bunch of different grip aids first; you never know, you might find one that works really well for you. I will caution you though that I at least seem to sweat through a lot of them pretty quickly–usually before a routine is over, so within about five minutes or so. I’ve tried liquid chalk, Grrrip, Dry Hands, No Sweat, Prince, and several different spray-on anti-perspirants as well as continuously soaking my hands in rubbing alcohol, which just ends up drying out my already parched knuckles even more and eventually leads to painful splitting. So far none of them have impressed me all that much. Liquid chalk seems to be the best, but I can’t spin with it on, and it rubs/sweats off very quickly, so I have to be really careful when I’m dancing with it on–for instance, I can’t really walk much around the pole, because the friction between the pole and my palm wears it off quickly, and when I do floorwork I have to be careful not to drag my hands along the floor. But you and I are not the same person, and while I’ve gone through several grip aids, I haven’t tried every single one on the market, and there might be something out there that works for you.
I think I’m going to give the Mighty Gloves a go next, even if you can’t spin in them. There are some static holds I want to brush up on, but it’s hard to do that when I have such a hard time with my grip; I’m afraid I’ll slip and it will lead to an injury.
Anyway, good luck with whatever you try. I know what a pain in the ass sweaty hands can be, but it’s not the end of the road for you; it’s just a matter of finding what works for you.

joey used to think that it was easy and then i made him try it and he squealed like a baby and was like ITS RIPPING MY SKIN!
Ha ha ha ha! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Men can be such big babies sometimes. They’d never survive childbirth.
