Ive always wanted to go to LA so this is PERFECT for me!

Webmaster is right, he changed the way alot of us saw the world. I love all my mac products and remember learning how to use a mac when I was a little girl.
My personal website was built on a mac and its made my life easier when it comes to putting together things.

Happy Birthday Webmaster!!!!

Maria- thats one of my bands. I love Incubus!

Sparrow – I love that quote!!!
Dance is my happy place – its been my happy place as long as I can remember. I love dancing out an emotion. Esp when im stressed – some of my best work has come from being stressed out and trying to get over it.
I also decided im going to 'treat' myself after a night of training with a freestyle so im not training and training – and then theres no fun and I get tired of my routine songs faster. Im not the best at freestyling so this also gives me a chance to hear a new song and work on a weakness of mine.

This is exactly what I needed to see!!! I played around with 2 of my routines this afternoon. I already started omitting stuff that looked great in my head but I cant string it nicely in real life. Im now starting to see its ok to have a 2nd or a 3rd draft of a routine. Before I signed up do try this again I really thought about where my weakness lies and where the areas for improvement. Im a show person by nature, I just dont have alot of tricks. In my mind the area of improvement is the weights and the weight loss. Ive also got to be flexible when it comes to days to train – being a parent and being married to someone who works alot of overtime makes finding the time to train really hard. By the time my kids are in bed the big question is – do I do weights and stretch or do I go to bed b/c im super exhausted and I have to get up at 345a to go to work.
I know I am very hard on myself – this is what happens when youve been comepeting and placed top 3 just about everything you entered since you were 8.

Right now im hitting the rought part of my schedule. My load should lighten up after my event is over. I also took on a role as the Cookie manager for my daughters Girl Scout troop. That wont let up until Dec. Plus with her cheer schedule, that will also let in Nov after it becomes just competitions. But once the Battle is done, I can spend more time getting training done.
Im not planing on doing moves I know cant do yet. I have some that im so close to getting that I just need some off pole training to get to and stay consistant in working on. I do go to class weekly so I am getting something in, plus getting some ideas for combos, transitions etc. If it doesnt look good by Jan – its getting omitted for something else.
I still have fun when im doing this it just hurts putting all that time, sweat, bruising etc into something that isnt winning material. Someone told me I did great as always and I think 'well if im so great, why didnt I win?'. Thats the part that eats me up when im sulking over it. I give myself the time to pout and then just move on. I try not to think about the 'i havent won yet, whats wrong with me' parts. I have no time to dwell on it. I want to win but im happy for those who do win.
Ive started to plan to film myself more and see what works what doesnt work. I still have time before the routine is 90% concrete in my mind. Thats something I hadnt been doing, I just thought it was going to look great b/c it was in my mind.

Amy – Its in February. Its the prelimnary round. If I win one of the catagories then I advance to the finals. I want to win the whole thing but ill take a win in the prelims and be happy.
roamy – I know Jessalynn! She was my instructor for a few years before she opened Pole Pressure. She knows its a goal of mine to win Ms Xpose – heck she came up with the idea. I just love her to bits! She knows I have the potential to win it and surpise them all. I had thought about booking a private with her and work on my routines. The girls and guys of PP are hardcore and have amazing talent!

G+ is open to everyone now. The invite was just to test it out in Beta. Once I have more friends on there, Ill post more. Just sucks that its quiet in there for me.
If you have an Android phone, you can get the G+ app.

I know its different sitution but maybe I can steer you in the right one. The past few years my husband and I have had issues. We both did some shitty things that were not proud of (trust me if I could take back everything I did – I would).
I got some new stuff on my iPod from raiding my husbands CD collection. Not only did I find a whole album to pole to there was one song that just explained everything how I felt in 4min. The song is 'Love for Real' by Everlast. From that point things changed, maybe the song spoke to him, maybe he finally forgave who knows but things are 10x better than what it was before.

thats pretty smart! I didnt even think of it like that. Im on G+ too. Im under LuAyne Brown

The only thing im not a big fan of is the top stories – I want to know whats going on with everyone on FB. I may not comment or like but its hard with the amount of friends I have. So I may not get my bff's post b/c I havent commented/liked something of hers recently.
im gonna hang on to my FB, b/c we have an old IE that doesnt support G+ at work. And it helps pass time at lunch. But I will be using Twitter and G+ more.
You can find me on twitter – @teamlulu and find me on G+ as LuAyne Brown. Ive also learned the hard way using my gmail for work that I have to be careful what I post as profile pic. Im just worried about losing a customer b/c my profile pic being me in a split with my back leg up with cheek showing!

Congrats on signing up Ms Xpose! I am going for my 4th attempt to make it to the finals. Which studio are you competing at? Im at Arundel Mills.
I have to say right now you have time to think about costumes. Im like you im curvy and busty, I cant just buy what I want and wear it. I have to make all my stuff. I like to draw inspriation from the song or something I love. I have a black leotard that ive worn for 2yrs now. I safety pin everything on so I can reuse the leotard for something else. I have so much tulle from various costumes – its kinda of sickening! Ive also made my own skirt jumpsuit from a Dickies jumpsuit and put a bunch of logos on it – the song was Shut up and Drive.
This is im getting extra creative and spending lots of Saturday nights working on costumes. Costume is only 5 pts so dont put all your heart and soul in just the costumes. The min you can wear is pasties and a g string – out of the years ive been competing I have never seen anyone get that close to naked. Ive seen bra and panties but thats it.
I highly reccomend dress rehersals at least a week before the comp, that way if something doesnt work out – it can be altered or redone w/o feeling stressed.
If youve got any questions about the comp or being in a compeition. Feel free to ask. Also there are alot of us on here that have competed in various competitions before.

In Itunes you can select the option for it to be converted to MP3 format. Then you can find the file for wmm as well. Ive done that a few times.

WiMM is a good beginer program. I prefer iMovie instead but im a a/v geek and like to try different effects.
-
this sounds fantastic Empy!!! I will be checking it out when I get a moment to.
-
Just out of curiosity – what about android phones? Im tempted to get lessons since Veena does show things that my studio doesnt offer. That way I cant feel bad for myself not being able to pole when my husband works late or im at my daughters cheer practice and need to train.
-
I cant tell you how much I can relate to that. I have 2 kids (2 and 6), and they basically run my life. My oldest has cheer 2 practices a week plus a game on Saturdays. Then we have Girl Scouts once a week. I get them both right after work – mostly b/c I have no choice, one gets out of school and the other ones daycare contract states I have to get him by 4p. On top of that my husband works a job where just b/c the office closes at 430p doesnt mean he gets off work at that time. There are some nights its almost 10p before he gets home. Plus I dont like having him watch me work out – its SUPER CREEPY! Plus I like to yell at my Wii from time to time when I work out.
What makes matters worse for me is my pole isnt at home – its in my moms laundry room. We dont have the room for it so it stays over there. So its not like I can put my kids to bed and start poling, theres an extra 20min involved before I even get to see a pole. I do attempt to go take a class once a week but judging by my schedule some weeks, its nearly impossible. Plus I have to start training for a competition in February, and I cant even find time for that.
What ive tried to do is when my husband isnt home and when the kids are in bed is workout with the Wii. I have EA Sports Active 2 for the Wii, I like it for the most part but there are some exercises my body just cant handle. Im also afraid of doing jumps at home b/c of my fear of knocking everything off the walls. I also try and stretch alot of as well. If I dont have to bring my son to my daughters cheer practice, I will try and do some training (push ups, crunches, running etc) since im there for 90min. Im working on maximizing my time for working out.

I try to make it easy to find me from different sites. Im http://www.youtube.com/minicoopergrl

heres my thing, IMO old fashioned watch what you eat, work out and drink water is the best diet ever! Im a big believer in that method for many reasons – formula hasnt changed, the results are permament than other diets. Yeah it may take longer but losing 1-2lbs a week is perfect weight loss.

The mom in me just came up with the PERFECT song for this. Off to go find it on You Tube!

Mine is up, put it up the other day. I cant tell you how much the response makes me feel better.

and I just got a few coupons for Michaels when I bought my son a paint smock.
What about using some mod podge when its dry. I know it helped when I did my own glitter heels.
