    I used the free edition until it ran out.  Coindentally, I found my regular camcorder and went back to WMM.  I know wanna jab myself in the eye when I use updated WMM.

    I record maybe once a month for a routine.  I do take notes on what I need to work on etc.  My Pole Cave doesnt have a mirror yet and im still trying to figure out where to put the video camera.

    January 26, 2011 at 5:12 pm in reply to: inverting with heels?

    Ditto to what everyone else has said.  I also have a hard time inverting with shoes.  For me I think its an extra weight issue.  I think if I lost a few lb's I would have it.  I havent tried it with heels in awhile but ive been working on conditioning for inverting to help.

    I noticed on my invoice from BK that if you are ordering anything Pole Fit, they wont ship until they have everything together. So it ships in one box.  My stuff took about a week to arrive.  It ships out of AZ and it goes fast.  They sent me a shipment tracking number via USPS to follow as well.

    January 26, 2011 at 5:06 pm in reply to: Pole competition theme/costume/song help!

    I normally pick my song first then draw ideas for the costume from the song itself or the video.  I did a performace with the song 2 Hearts by Kylie Minogue.  To me it had a burlesque kind of vibe, and I had some visions of Moulin Rouge in my mind.  So I wore what in my profile pic plus black gloves that I took off in the begining.  When I did my video for Gods Gonna Cut You Down by Johnny Cash, I watched the video to get some inspiration.  The video was done in black and white so I did that as well.

     

    When I pick my music, my music normally comes out and suprises me.  Sometimes I will hear something and it clicks that I should do that song.

    LittleC and Blueeyes – I was thinking the same thing.   I wonder if they are going to finish adding more as everyone turns in thier paperwork.

    I was afraid of over tighening my xjoints. I gave them a sturdy tug and now were ready to rock.

     

    Yes, See Penny's vid!  I was watching it and understood where she was coming from.  I did the same thing.

    Picnik by Google!!  Its free and the options for the free one are great!!  I got the premium and did my new photoshoot picks with it.  Its so much fun to play with. 

     

    The guy who does the pink pole is Sean O'Connor.  I think the site is pinkpower.com or something like that.

    do you have  SD card slot on your computer?  take the card out of the camera and put it in the computer.  I had a Kodak Easy Share camera as well and used it for a short period of time when I couldnt find my actual camcorder.   Last time I tried to edit with WMM, it didnt reconize the format and when I reformatted the video it looked like crap.  There are a few edit programs you can get the trial for and use that.

    I think Rebecca Starr got in for Pro too!

     

    They said they are going to make the annoucements for everything this by the end of the month.  If your a USPDF member and got your newsletter they have already set up various packages for workshops/tickets.  I have a small feeling its going to be at Symphony Space again.  It seem like a good location when I saw it via photos. 

     

    Im all for trying to stay together.  Im trying to cut costs the best I can w/o being really cheap (like living off of pbj all weekend). Whoever suggested a hostel was a genius idea since I dont think alot of us will be staying in our rooms for long.

    January 17, 2011 at 5:33 am in reply to: Confidence lost using home pole?

    I cleaned it up with the acetone!  Worked like a charm, but now im super grippy.  Im just gonna keep adjusting my grip until its perfect.

     

    I took it down and reassembled it and now I feel much more confident about it.  I guess from all the excitement of finally having one just took over during installation.  Im going back there to film my SV challenge.

     

    My mom keeps sweeping the floor for me everytime shes down there.  Its so cute!

    I was very proud when she stood up and finished her routine!  When she was done I stood up and applauded!  That takes alot of balls to get up and keep going.

    Im listed as attending the event, I will be donating.  I would be fighting the insurance company, my husband can injure himself even more at work and hes can have the bill covered.

    *adds acetone to dance bag*  Im gonna give that a try when I go back on Saturday. 

     

    When i first got the pole up, I gave it a few pulls to see it felt.  I may run the dryer for 20min while warming up to get the pole warmed up.  My mom also has a space heater, ill bring that in from the garage.

     

    I have to give alot of credit to my mom, she cleaned up and moved things around in the laundry room so Id have a space.  Shes also volunteered to watch the kids so I can come over and practice!  This is normally not like her, which is kinda scary!  LOL  She has shown it off to those coming by to see her!

    wmm came with my  netbook but like what Journey said you can probably download it. 

     

    WMM must of done an upgrade b/c I was so used to the layout that I could probably edit with my eyes closed.  Now Im spending half my time looking for what I need.
