    @ mini-cooper- you could take the megabus up to nyc. it’s very cheap! we are taking it from dc, and although we opted for a pricier time leaving $17 up, there is a departure bus to nyc for just $1.00. They pick up outside of Baltimore… you should check it out!

    Your awesome! Would the bus go from dc and then baltimore? Hubby really doesnt want me to travel alone, so if I knew folks who were riding up hed be much more comfortable with it.

    February 6, 2010 at 12:27 am in reply to: Flexibility/Stretching

    Im always stretching. I do one thats really helped improve my splits (my profile pic is no stretching before), my box spilt is starting to improve.

    Heres what I do:
    For box splits: im on my hands and knees. I push out my knees as far as my body can do it (very similar to how a hockey player stretches – sorry watching the Caps game at this point). I try to get deep as possible, once ive done that I get up and do it with my legs out as if im doing the box split.

    Regular splits: I do more warming up this. Im on one knee, I learn forward with out having my knee go past my toes. Then I rock back and have that front leg straight out but my body towards the back.

    Im always stretching my arms and fingers. I have an office job so im always sitting.

    when you go to an actual gym and get discouraged b/c you have to wear tennis shoes

    going to the actual gym, you have to resist every urge not to shake your butt when your bent over and keep it low on the hair toss so no one gets creeped out

    this kind of stuff scares me and prepares me all at the same time. Im sorry your daughter is dealing with this, but I am glad the video has been removed. Girls keep uping the ante every year, im only wondering what its going to be like when my daughter hits that age. Why do girls have to creul sometimes??? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif

    Let us know what the outcome is with the principal.

    February 2, 2010 at 3:43 am in reply to: Take care of yourself

    thank you for the reminder! Sometimes I need to be reminded.

    I want to say I am sorry for your loss of your mom and you MIL not feeling great. As a mom, I know first hand what its like to push yourself hardcore to help everyone out. Its in our nature, we give to everyone and dont take anything for us. Ill admit, I run on little sleep between getting to the office at 6am, getting my kids and being mom for a few hours, then off to pole or gym for an hour and attempt to give my husband some attention. Then on top of that doing the household chores.

    If you can get help – even if its for an hour -TAKE IT! Even if someone takes your kids to the play area for you to get some rest, its going to be worth it!

    if you try to choreograph a dance in the car b/c you got ideas while driving

    If you wish wearing your pleasers in public was much more acceptable.

    If you avoid getting a pedicure b/c its just going to get messed b/c of the pole.

    January 31, 2010 at 3:05 am in reply to: Shoe Advice! 🙂

    Dont laugh but I normally order from http://www.discountstripper.com. Across the board all shoe prices are going to be the same. I had great service w/my first pair and ordered another pair for the competition. I also find a coupon code and save a few bucks.

    Heres my rule on shoes. I will look at them and judge the material. If its the basic clear plastic (a my first stripper shoe if you want to call it), I order a size down since the plastic will warm up and swell. If they are the pvc and look durable (like the ones in my profile pic), I get them in my street shoe size.

    Always ask customer service, they should be the most knowledgeable about the shoes itself.

    Oh that sounds like a total nightmare. I’d much rather be able to walk into a shop and buy a pair, even if they were a bit more exepnsive, just to avoid the hassle.

    this is me! Im a total instant gratifcation girl!

    whoever is running the program, THATS WHO YOU NEED TALK TO. I dont know how your skills are but if your not ready for inverts, you need to be doing other things. I always say that your natural instinct will kick in if you need to stop yourself.

    I saw alot of them – WOW! I did make some comments on a few of them

    The person who was taping, I did appreciate that they got close ups and zooms. But I wish they camera was left alone during some of the performances.

    Trust me, I was watching it and thinking ‘oh Id love try that in my routine!’.

    January 28, 2010 at 12:08 pm in reply to: Why do you pole dance?

    Ive been a dancer my whole life. Ive been performing since I was a kid. Pole was the next progression that felt natural. it gives me crazy confidence. After a good class, I feel like I could walk the Victoria Secret Fashion show eventhough I dont have the body for it. It also still challenges me after all these years. I get bored quickly working out so pole keeps me on my toes (literly!please excuse my spelling, its early)

    Anyone else feel like they’re boobs are disproportionally large?

    YES! all the time! Its not fun when you 5’4 and your a 40dd. When I gave birth to my son I was a 46E. I almost cried when I was trying on nursing bras.

    it’s gotten to the point where I have to wear two sports bras with the thick straps to keep them in and they are quite ugly! In my videos I put on my cute one and just edit the parts where they pop out https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I would definitely love a pole line for bigger girls, I’ve always said I wanted to design a pin-up inspired lingerie line that starts at C cups and up because every time I bra shop all the really pretty bras are in the teeny tiny sizes and the grandma bras are the big ones, its very sad!

    Ive been doing that since my teens! I now do one sports bra and those tanks w/the built in bra. I have to be careful though, I have insane cleavage some days!

    I totally agree w/you on the bra choices. Its like were being punished for having big boobs. Its not my fault – its my kids and geneitcs! The thing I hate is paying an arm and leg to buy a bra, I know I need support but when they are over $44 a piece, it adds up.

    Im all for your clothing line!

    I have a really cute sports bra by nike. Its pink! I love it, Id wear it around the house!

    I dont know she bugs me. Its like everytime they bring up Twilight, it looks like shes about to roll her eyes at them. Dude, be proud of the movie that got you your big break or you wouldnt be doing other movies for the $ that your making now.

    January 26, 2010 at 6:36 pm in reply to: More controversy for a intersting topic 🙂

    I think that there are many forms of pole dance, my favorite is the expressive/dance variation. I do think that a lot of the"pro" pole dancers, no longer dance but only do tricks, and very beautifully!!! The girl in the video, did dance…and she flowed very wonderfully I think!!!! I"m not sure what that poster meant by "authentic" did they mean sexual, or what? Because that girl in the vid danced beautifully. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Thats how I feel as well. There is going to be various forms of Pole. Im amazed at some of the women and the moves they can do on the pole, more power to them. Some are gonna see it as a prop, others a dance partner, others are gonna see how to do pilates, gymnastics and yoga moves on it. Its all in the eye of the beholder. I know ive gotten comments saying that my videos arent sexual – thats the way you see it.
