well lil wayne’s song – mrs. officer
thats if you like it, some ppl find it annoying. but it would definitely work with a cop outfit!

[kerrierou]

yes i agree that it is defintielty inspiring! thou i dont consider myself big, i do consider myself curvy. i have a smaller chcest and waist but thick thighs and big butt. im 5’9" at 160lbs. and it is definitely great to see girls other than a size 5 pole dancing! i think pole dancing is beautiful and a great way to express yourself wether your 90lbs or 200lbs, or 19yrs old or 50! its for anyone, and everyone brings something different! good luck!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Hahah junglecat! …. "Hope you were offended getting advice from a male." lol i think you meant werent??? thats funnny
anyways, i havent posted any videos yet, but i can try maybe friday when i practice pole.
one easy way to shake it is to stand facing your pole holding onto it. if your wearing heels, click them together like your Dorothy(theres no place like home…). and your booty with defintiely giggle!
there are many ways to do it. if you bend over you can shake you legs, or one leg a little, and ur bum will shake. you can shake them just a little so it doesnt really look like you are.
one of my favorites is te booty dance i learned in pole class. my instructor renamed it "the kerrie" lol because i did it so well and loved it (well, i have a big butt too lol)
i’ll try to post a video soon. but you pretty much kneel on the floor, and sit ur bum between your legs. you flex the right glute (bum muscle), then the left, then right, then left…..on and on lol. once your muscles get stronger and use to it, you can go really fast. the guys love it haha.
well im hope i’ve been of some help! i’ll try to post a video soon, i’ll let you know when i do!

[kerrierou]

WELCOME!!! yes this is a great place to learn, everyone is so helpful and encouraging! looking foreward to seeing your improvments through videos if you can post em!

[kerrierou]

thanks guys! good to know im not the only un-flexible one =/
lol. i’m workin on it!
oh and pole twista, i have an hr long stretching video if you want a copy i can give it to u friday. its from p90x (a workout program my boyfriend does). havent done it yet, hard to find an hour to stretch lol

[kerrierou]

my old laptop ($600 acer) broke over a yr ago when a nurse at work spilt coffee on it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
so i went on ebay and bought a simple used dell. companys sell them as they want new ones, and i got this one for $300. they have a 1 year warranty i believe. ive had mine for over a yr now with no problems.

if you look in fliers or go to walmart or somewhere, you can find brand new really good laptops for 500. my boyfriend has a really good one he bought 2 years ago for like $800, and they sell the same one with a bigger harddrive for like 500-600.

personally, i’m not a fan of the mac. my sister has one, and if somethin goes wrong you have to send it to the company specifically since its different than a general computer, and its pricey to fix. you have to buy apple laptops, mouses, scanners….etc. you cant just buy a cheaper generic printer or anything else, you have to buy and apple one, which are more expensive.
the good thing is that you dont get viruses (since there are none made for macs yet, but sure to be in time…)

the only reason i dont like them is b/c they are expensive, and end up being more expensive if something goes wrong of if you need something else (printer, etc)
but you can find brand new really good computers at a low price. (my b/f has an HP, i really like it)

[kerrierou]

welcome!!! yesss friday chat is a good time! and everyone here is very positive, its a great place to learn and to motivate and inspire you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[kerrierou]

okay, you look VERY good! and how are you self concious about ur stomach???? u look great!

[kerrierou]

Thats great!!! Good for you! I just started stretching every day, and i’m sooooo far from a split! Hopefully one day i’ll get it…lol.
But keep it up! Glad your reaching your goals!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[kerrierou]

WOW how rudeee!
please shes just jealous of your killer body! not to mention after 4 kids??? psshhhh!
i love how people waste their time bashing on other people to make them feel better about themselves.
and i think glitter has the cutest hips, always shakin em about =)

[kerrierou]

it completely depends on the person. i find my hands stick too much on spins on the chrome x-pole! my hands dont sweat at allll! to the TG would be to grippy for spins for me. totally a matter of preference and the persons body

[kerrierou]

soooo i joined recently and discovered this post. It’s already 1/4 of the way through the new year, but i’ll post my resolutions anyways!

1. stretch EVERY DAY! i’m not very flexible at alllll
2. be able to do a split!
3. loose about 10 lbs so i’m back to my comfortable weight
4. pole at least 3x/week
5. get some videos up on the site
6. weight train more….i am strong, but i need to be stronger so i can easily lift my 5’10" 160lb body!
7. do an amateur night!…..not a nakie one though https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif , and undie one https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
8. i would list moves i want to learn, but since i’m a beginner and i dont know many besides spins, the list would be much too lonnggg.
9. learn how to do moves on spinny mode – looks so pretty! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_compress.gif
10. not let pole interfere too much with school work! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif

ummmmm……thats all i can think of for now! weeelllll…..i’m off to stretch! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

[kerrierou]

yep, i put it back up, and still thumpin. i’m definitely going to call them – thanks for your help guys!

[kerrierou]

hmmm well i have to say i do tighten it alot, because i’ve had it move a couple times so i’m scared! lol
but even when i take it all apart to put away if i spin the piece attached to the base it is still thumpy. should i see if the company will let me purchase just the base? or does it have a warranty at all? ….i think it does…hmmm

[kerrierou]

LOOOVVEEEEEEEEEEEE IT! Great job on the invert! And your so cute when you dance! You got rythym girl! And I really loved the floor belly dance move, super cute!
Awesome job! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hi Christie!
So have you taken any pole classes or do you own a pole? Or are you just interested in learning about it?
WELCOME!
=)

[kerrierou]

hey pole-twista! (once again!)
i just read this post and i would love to e-mail and stuff about how were doing with our goals and such, seeing as i have pretty much many of the same goals you do!

i NEED to sretch everyday. i am so far away from a split its not even funny!
i want to loose about 10 pounds to be back where i was last year where i was very comfortable
definitely tone abs, thighs, and butt (doesn’t every girl!)
gain endurance
i’m pretty good with my diet thou, i eat pretty healthy
i defintiely want to pole as much as i can, hopefully i’ll be able to 3x a week when im off school and my parents are at work
i want to learn soooo many pole moves. i really want to be more flexible and be able to do a split, since most stunts require flexibility and it looks better if you can stretch further!

if you ever need any help with nutrition/exercise i can help u out. i am majoring in exercise science so i have taken lots of nutrition and exercise classes.

so if you ever want to e-mail me at mailto:krousseau16@mail.bristol.mass.edu !

[kerrierou]

Great idea LittleMissLola! i love it! i may just put some up in my bedroom for inspiration (although i pole in my dining room when my parents are at work and im off school…i dont think they’d appreciate it if i put them up in there!) lol

[kerrierou]

OH! and alsoooo i remember you saying you didnt know of any stores to buys shoes, cuz u didnt wanna buy online incase they didnt fit. well the glass slipper in NB has a couple but not much, i didnt find anything there. theres a place and marion called Secrets….and more.
heres the adress:
http://www.yellowpages.com/name/Marion-MA/secrets
they have some shoes in the store and outfits. they dont have that many shoes at the store, but lots of catalouges. and if you find on ein a catalouge you like, they can have you try on the same brand of shoe of another style they have there and will order it for you. (or you can write down the name and size u need and go on amazon and try to find it. they are cheaper on there)
hope i was of some help!!!

[kerrierou]

[kerrierou]
