    Videos and pics weren’t allowed. I am under the assumption video is strictly prohibited because of music licensing.

    Yep, how many times did they mention that thier lawyers where there?

    I have occasionally mentioned to my b/f about wanting to go to a strip club because I had never been to one before until months ago when I visited North Carolina and he never brought me along when him and his friend went nudey bar hopping and they apparently been to all of them in Dundalk and Baltimore (not in one night though), which made me feel crappy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

    I have to say the ones in Dundalk/Baltimore arent really that great. I live up that way and ive been to plenty of them. My personal top 2 are Hustler and Fantasies. The other ones, the girls are mega raunchy or its not even worth paying the cover charge.

    Ill tell you this. I used to think like that ALOT. If only I was skinnier, I could do these things. But then I see curvy gals doing amazing tricks and it gives me the confidence that one day it will happen.

    September 30, 2010 at 4:46 pm in reply to: HD Camera help

    Ive been using a few things:

    For quick moments I use my blackberry. I can get the videos posted quick on SV, FB etc.

    For a back up since I couldnt find my camcorder was my digital camera (Kodak Easy Share C813). Small to tote around and quick switch to video. I would also lay my camera on is side to get a longer angle (this can be seen on some of my videos. The downside is that Windows Movie Maker doesnt accept its format and if I convert the file – it looks like its lagging and looks like crap. I would have to get new editing softward just to use it, I wanted free stuff but would always miss the free trial time.

    For 95% of my videos I use a JVC GRDA US (I think thats the model). Its the family camcorder but im the only one who uses it the most. I like the quality of the playback and the tapes it uses (hi 8mm), when the video is done right it can look very professional. The 2 things I didnt like were that its got a sliding view screen, im more of a view finder gal (TV nerd taking over) and I had to buy some extra equipment to get it upload to my computer.

    [Does your hubby get cranky about the videos too? I took some of my original ones down after having it brought up and thrown in my face every other day – how inappropriate it was for me to post that "$**!" on the internet for everyone to see https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif So now I don’t post anything that has actual dancing – just straight up trick stuff.

    Mine thinks I only care about myself when I do the videos. I shoot the videos when my kids are at my MIL’s (my son’s babysitter comes to our house and I have come straight home so she can go to her second job). Its not like im neglecting my kids and leaving them home alone KWIM? He told me that I would much rather go put a video up for random strangers than go pick up my kids from my MIL’s. My thinking is when is the next time I get a break from the kids for more than an hour???? I hardly get a break from them to begin with and when I do get to socialize w/folks who arent my coworkers I get my butt chewed out 2 weeks later.

    Hugs to you dear! Sometimes men just like to toss a wrench into our plans just b/c they feel like it.

    I know how you feel, my DH hates when I pole outside of class. I wanted to street pole while we were at the lake this summer but he wouldnt even take the picture for me! I keep thinking if I was taking gymnastics instead and showed off my handsprings, flip etc – would it be different?

    IMO, I dont think it has to do with you. He can trust you, he just cant trust everyone else that will be there. I can see where hes coming from about the ex being there. But like you said that was 10yrs ago and you let him be him and thats all you can do about it.

    If you need to talk, im here. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

    I do just about everything right handed except inverts. That I somehow do better on my left. As long as you also work the other side, who cares!

    September 25, 2010 at 7:14 pm in reply to: do u wear ur dance "stripper shoes" to the bar

    I wear mine out from time to time. I typically wear mine w/my halloween costume, last year I was a slutty Wednesday Addams. I wore knee high socks w/the black patent shoes.

    I would totally wear them with jeans to avoid the "your a stripper" reaction. But then again Id wear a skirt so I could street pole!

    September 25, 2010 at 7:12 pm in reply to: Popping joints increase

    They dont bother me, but they may bother those around me, lol!

    From what everyone is saying, it makes sense. Ive been playing sports since I was 8. Ive done everything from Softball, Cheerleading (included Dance and gymnastics), Swimming, HS Dance class and Field Hockey. Ive done alot of stuff to my body. I remember being a teen my mom used to hate to hear me walk up the steps b/c I could pop my hip everytime! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    September 23, 2010 at 2:31 pm in reply to: What other workouts have helped you pole better-stronger

    I started hitting the gym in Jan on top of doing pole. Ive been focusing on cardio, abs and arms while im there. Ive been doing lots of push ups (reg and dips) and lots of lower abs. I also do about 12min of cardio and I push myself higher than what the elpitcal wants my heart rate. Its helped with my stamina during a performance. Yeah im tired but not wiped out.

    Is there any way you can tell him you are going out to get milk then just come to the comp? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif Oh to pull that off one day!

    I havent mustered up the courage to ask him to go yet. Typically he tells me I can go and do things and 2 weeks later yell at me for going to begin with. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Plus its a sunday which the race and game is on https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif which means he wants drink all afternoon.

    Good thing is Redskins play in Philly that weekend so I wont have to worry about game day traffic.

    Angel – I may take you up on that ticket. I still havent bought one.
