    Cynthia – Ebay.  When my daughter goes to my FIL's to stay over, they will go on ebay and bid on MLP toys.  Warning though, thier hair is kinda gross if its not taken care of well.  I had to throw away one pony b/c her hair was disgusting!

    December 13, 2011 at 6:13 am in reply to: pole clothes for a competition,. where to find any

    First off I love that song, I love that version more than the NIN one.

     

    I hand make all my costumes.  Its really hard to find anything in my size so I just make it instead.  One of my costumes, I bought a bra and panties and covered them in teal duck tape.  Then im adding some sequins on the bra straps and wrap some tulle around the waist.  Ive gotten very creative over the years with my costume design.  I also try to recycle my old costumes so im not dropping serious cash on every competition I go to.

    My daughter is OBESSED with MLP.  She will school you and keep up with you eventhough she is 7.  I think we have every pony possibly made – both old and new. 

    I love your pole pony!  Shes beautiful!

     

    Im actually waiting for a new pony to come out – Lulu Luck.  I have to have that pony!

    I tried to find it but Im guessing b/c I dont have sirius, that I cant get it.  I did tweet them and emailed the producer.

    I emailed the producer to find out. I have alot of friends (and my husband) who wanted to listen to it.  Of course my husband just wants to listen to see what kind of questions they asked.

    I know im always worried that my instructor wont be able to spot me well b/c I am twice her size.  Sometimes I just need someone to gently spot me.   I love what your doing Charley!

    When I first started having issues with doing the basic invert, I went straight to Jessalynn after class and asked what can I do at home to help.  Some women will be straight forward and ask you what they need to do, others may feel a bit scared to ask. 

     

    You may want to give the girl some encouragement after class, that may open her up to express where shes stuck at.  Thats your opening to offer some advice.

    I got an answer back – Since SV is not a studio in the area, I cannot represent them at the competiton.  But she gave me a few other studios who are up and coming to see if they would like me to represent them.

     

    No matter what the answer, I was ok with it.  I just need to decide if I really want to do it that way.  Bummer, but its cool

    What scared me the most at first was getting off the ground, any basic spins (fireman, love it or hate it aka the face plant spin) I was scared.  I had the feeling that the pole was going to come off.  Being that size you take alot of factors into consideration.  Its almost borderline being self concious.  Over time between working on my grip and building confidence within myself (personal and poling), I got over the fears and now I have no problem spinning.  But it does take time.

    Climbing wasnt so bad, once I got the basics.  I didnt get to the top the first time but after a few attempts I was hanging out up there with everyone else.  I am still working on my invert, I think I may have found my issue and im currently working on it.

    As for transititons, I never really had a problem with that.  I guess all those years of dance, cheer and gymnastics seemed to help.  But really breaking down the the moves seems to help alot of the curvy gals in my class.  I love seeing curvy girls in the advanced classes!!

    You might run into alot of women who are unsure about themseleves and poling, do your best at building their self esteem.  Sometimes just that boost will make me want to give it one more try. 

    I know I do alot of off pole stuff to help.  Push ups have been my best friend through all of it. That has really helped with climbing and all my upper body strength.

    I never felt really insecure when I first starting taking class.  No one gave me a hard time for being curvy.  Heck, I get alot of love b/c of my size!  Leave it all at the door and have fun is what I always tell people.
