Im gonna keep up with this thread. Ive been interested in extensions for a LONG time. A good friend of mine suggested it to me since I can make short hair look good during a hair flip.
I havent had long hair since the 6th grade! I have very thick and full hair – Its always shedding and a PITA to deal with in the summer. I also have 2 kids so its hard to maintain a style that isnt wash n go!
My hair is red now so I also want to look like Ariel as well, LOL!

Ive been pale my WHOLE life. Sheesh, my kids call me pasty!!! I got sunburn so bad one year I was actually blistering on my shoulders! Lets just say I learned my lesson real quick. Im always putting sunscreen on when im out. But after 26yrs of burning and going back to pasty, my body has decided to give me a tan! Its not much and my god my legs need a better tan!
Ive done a few self-tanners at home but never got any good results. I always end up with spots no matter how evenly I apply the product. Ive even used the gradual lotions and I still flippin streak. I used to use the tanning beds at the gym but I would get pink and go back to white! I feel like I would never win when it comes to tanning!
The products ive tried:
Nivea shave minimizer and gradual tanner – great for slowing the shave process but still streaky
Mary Kay Gradual Tanner – this stuff worked the best
Neutrogena Spray Mist – Tanned quickly but still ended up streaky!
Sally Hansen Spray Tanner – still streaky!

I have the Golds Gym one from Wal Mart. From my understanding, the white one is less dense than the blue one. The colors are to identify the density of the foam. If you follow Alethea on FB, she has a black one with the nubbies on it. That shit is crazy hard core. IMO I suggest starting at a low density and working up.
I use mine at the end of the day. I place it on my lower back and lay back. OMG I can hear my spine popping and it feels wonderful! Im still having issues with my outer part of my hips and hamstrings. The foam roller is helping so far.

The KW sport pole is still the same quality as any X Pole. The difference is only avail in Chrome and it does not spin. From what I believe, that pole was the first pole to be a bottom loading pole too.
Guy at work tried to tell me the KS pole is better than my pole (X pole 50 in chrome) simply b/c her name was one it. Dude has no idea what hes talking about!

the one I attend there are 20 poles – 1 for the instructor, 19 for students. They dont overbook, but you have to call ahead to reserve a spot, esp if your taking a beginner class. As you get into the advanced classes, alot of us dont reserve since it hardly fills up. The class is 50min.
Its great to have that many poles and have one per girl but the downside is some of my friends are tall and have very long legs. They have a habit of hitting each other during a spin. I always thought if I opened my own studio I would only have 11 poles and plenty of space to for tall ladies to spin and not worry about hitting someone.

speaking of pole fails – this one is my fav, I laugh every time!! http://youtu.be/4pNiO6EkxUk

I work in a business casual office. I have one tat on my left shoulder blade. It only comes out if im wearing a sheer overlay with my shirt or im wearing a light colored shirt and it pokes through. A co-worker on the other hand has a huge piece of baby blocks of his sons name on rib cage/side (that was his first tat!!), hes got a AK on his forearm. My boss has a portriat of one of her dogs on her forearm. Both of them have them clearly visible, but we dont interact with customers that much to begin with. Another good friend of mine works for the Dept of Defense, she has alot of tats! The only one that gets noticed is the hibicus flower on the top of her foot.
I vote for just wearing a light jacket/sweater when working with your clients. Working in that kind of enviroment really stressed the professionalism alot. I also think with the kind of tats your wanting arent that big of deal. Its not like your getting 'Thug Life' across your stomach and wearing a midriff top to the office!
My tat is a side of who I am. I mean its only my zodiac sign but its a piece of me. Im also thinking of getting a hip one as well but I wanted to wait until I got to a weight I wanted to be at and maintain it. I also want my grandmothers rosary but im not sure where.

Agreed about Pole Convention. I know Id email her from time to time about questions and she was great about answering them or even offering suggestions. Shes always so calm and cool about it all but I know inside shes freaking out from all the stress.
I want to put on a showcase in my area since we has so much talent and places to learn, teach etc. I just dont have time right now (darn my responsbilites as a parent! lol)

from your one post it sounds like your xjoints are getting jammed arent they? I had both joints on mine jammed. It wasnt bad for actual poling but taking down was a PITA. Xpole reccomends that you equally tighten the joints and check everytime to see if the joints are in line.

it would make my life alot easier. My studio uses a different set of terms that we use on here and its hard to switch back and forth between the two.

Empy – You hit the nail on the head. Theres alot of behind the scenes work that most people dont know about. Honestly I didnt even know about event insurance until I ran my event. Its even harder when your the only one getting the work done. Its alot of work to do what we do – as both a perfomer/competitor and as an organzier. With the battle, I actually lost money. Which I kinda knew it was going to happen since this was my first event. Theres alot of things ive learned from putting that event on. And I know what to do for next time!

I would choose the finish that you prefer, since you are the one thats buying it.
Ive been babied by brass up until the past year. Its was a bit tough for me going from the grippiest finish on the market to some slip. But i have to say chrome and I have become good friends. I choose chrome b/c I eventually want to compete one day and they mostly use chrome or ss.

At Amber Rays workshops we were 2 to a pole. But we were also learning a doubles routine on spin – which worked out well for being 2 to a pole.
I had so much fun at the last convention and really wish I could go this year.
